The Amazing Doctor Chapter 29
In an instant, the hall went silent.Whitney's expression was extremely unpleasant.She did not expect Sebastian to be this staunch and merciless.Even though she was pleading with him, he refused to back down.He was not like that in the past.Did the divorce change him?"Must you be so heartless, Sebastian?" Whitney asked.Sebastian snorted before retorting with a piercing gaze, "Let me ask you this, Ms. Sutton. If I had failed to save Mr. Whitaker Senior today, and Fergus seized the chance to ruin me, would you be pleading for mercy on my behalf too?""I …" Whitney could not answer. Her eyes flickered.Sebastian laughed mockingly before saying, "Don't bother answering. Your hesitation tells me everything I need to know. So, why should I let Fergus off the hook?"Frowning, Whitney had more to say, but Sebastian walked up to Fergus and looked down at him. Then, he raised his feet and said coldly, "My shoe's dirty, Mr. Cobb. Please lick it clean for me."Fergus was seething

"Think whatever you want. My conscience is clear!" Sebastian declared icily.He was truly disheartened that Whitney had become someone who could not distinguish right from wrong."You're only saying that because you can't think of a way to defend yourself anymore!" Whitney fumed before running after Fergus.Mabel glowered at Sebastian before following Whitney.Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself down."Are you okay, Dr. Ballard?" Rosalie asked worriedly.Sebastian nodded and said, "I'm fine. Join me for a walk.""Sure," Rosalie agreed with a playful smile.After saying a few words to Isabel and the others, Sebastian walked out of the hall and headed to the garden.The atmosphere in the hall made him feel stifled and annoyed.…Meanwhile, Whitney went after Fergus and called out, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cobb. Let me apologize on Sebastian's behalf. I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable today."Fergus exhaled and said resentfully, "It has nothing to do with you, Ms. S
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 31
Whitney found herself in a tough spot. She had to approach Sebastian again for the sake of Frostwave Corporation.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie strolled through the long corridor of the estate. Rosalie walked beside Sebastian with her hands behind her back. She was playfully kicking her feet as they strolled along. This made her look like she was full of youthful energy, "Dr. Ballard, the way you dealt with your ex-wife earlier—aren't you worried she might start resenting you?" Rosalie asked cautiously.Sebastian, with hands in his pockets, chuckled lightly. "It doesn't bother me much. If she wants to hold a grudge, that's on her. There isn't much love left between us anyway."Rosalie giggled and asked, "So, Dr. Ballard, have you ever thought about finding a new wife?"Sebastian was caught off guard. Find a new wife?"It's not that simple. Who would want to marry a good-for-nothing like me?" Sebastian chuckled, finding Rosalie's perspective a bit naive."Well, I would,
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 32
Rosalie was a bit awkward initially, but when she heard Whitney criticizing Sebastian, her expression changed abruptly. Rosalie coldly retorted, "Oh really? I find Dr. Ballard quite impressive. At least, he's way more capable than Fergus."Whitney raised an eyebrow, suppressing her inner frustration."Sebastian, we need to talk," Whitney said after a brief pause.Sebastian, unfazed, deadpanned, "What else is there to talk about?"Frowning, Whitney suggested, "Let's discuss this over there. It's not convenient with an outsider around."With that, Whitney headed toward the nearby lounge area.When she realized Sebastian hadn't followed, Whitney stopped. Her expression displayed some displeasure."Ms. Griffin isn't an outsider. If you've got something to say, say it here," Sebastian stated coldly.Rosalie, standing close, couldn't help but enjoy the drama. With her hands on her hips, she even playfully stuck her tongue out at Whitney. It infuriated Whitney."Do we really have t
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 33
Sebastian fell silent. After a while, he sighed, "I won't give you the acupuncture technique."It was a flat-out rejection. Whitney was stunned. She never expected Sebastian to refuse her.It had only been a few days since their divorce, and he had changed completely."Sebastian, I finally see your true colors!" Whitney exclaimed, giving him a resentful glare before turning to leave.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't cry. She wouldn't show her vulnerable side to Sebastian.As she took a few steps away, Sebastian's voice echoed behind her. "However, I'll share the acupuncture technique online."Whitney paused in her steps. Not looking back, she continued walking.Watching Whitney's lonely and pitiful figure, Sebastian felt a twinge of pain in his heart."Dr. Ballard, why would you do this? Isn't this indirectly helping her?" Rosalie asked, puzzled.If the acupuncture technique was shared online, that would be indirectly aiding Frostwave Corporation.Rosalie wonde

Whitney hesitated briefly before a frosty expression settled on her face as her eyes blazed with anger. "That jerk! How dare he threaten me! We'll see who gets the last laugh," she declared in a cold tone.Mabel swiftly exchanged a knowing look with Fergus upon noting Whitney's resolve. She then suggested, "There's no need for you to dirty your hands, Ms. Sutton. Mr. Cobb and I have a plan. Since Sebastian wronged us first, we should repay him in kind."Mr. Cobb has lots of friends. We can use that to our advantage and teach Sebastian a lesson. Given his lowly status, it's about time he learned his place!"Whitney was shocked by her words and questioned, "What are you planning to do?""Rest assured, Ms. Sutton. We're just planning to hit him where it hurts; he won't be fatally harmed. "We know about his shop, but imagine if it were to go up in flames. He'd have no choice but to turn to you for help," Mabel suggested with a sinister undertone.Fergus added, "Just act like you

"Watch your mouth, Tim Thames! You're standing in Steinberg, not in Jovenshire. Mr. Ballard is an esteemed guest of the Griffin family, and your contempt is a disrespect to us all. "Say another word, and you're out of this house!" Rosalie asserted with firmness, a stark departure from her once meek and timid demeanorTim Thames nonchalantly shrugged and wore a casual grin."The Griffin family's young lady is quite the sharp-tongued one," he snickered. Behind him, a row of formidable bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses stood proudly.Rosalie responded with a disdainful snort, her presence commanding respect.Witnessing this transformation, Sebastian couldn't help but be amazed. He had always perceived Rosalie as meek and timid, but her assertiveness proved she was more than that.Little did he know Rosalie was renowned as the cold and ruthless Witch of Janover. Even the Four Heirs of Janover were no match for her. From a young age, she had carved a name for herself in

Rosalie nodded and signaled the butler to usher in the specialist. The specialist who emerged was a slender young man sporting a hawk nose and beady eyes. Clad in a green robe, he carried a quaint suitcase."May I present Mr. Jimmy Xeno from Cozind," Rosalie announced with a welcoming smile, prompting nods of recognition from everyone in the inner courtyard.Jimmy Xeno gracefully bowed and suggested with a smile, "Apologies for the wait. Shall we proceed to check out the wares?"Opening his suitcase, he presented a silver plate adorned with meticulous carvings. The exquisite artifact radiated a soothing warmth, capturing everyone's attention and leaving them in awe of its power.Gasps of admiration echoed through the air as everyone marveled at the extraordinary artifact.It was their first encounter with such an impressive protective artifact, and its sheer power hinted at a hefty price tag. If Rosalie's descriptions held true, its value would be immeasurable. Even Sebastia

"Isabella, our son is all grown up now," Samson whispered. "I wonder when our family can reunite…"His eyes misted over."Is Mom really in the Holy Grandia?" Sebastian's voice suddenly came from behind him. Samson hastily wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes. He turned to look at Sebastian and exhaled as he smiled bitterly. "I don't know either," he replied. "After I kicked you and your mother out of the family back then, I was brought here. From that day on, this little area became my whole world."Hugo had been the one who had brought him the news of Isabella attacking the Ballard Estate with experts from the Thorne family. In the end, the condition of the truce between the Ballards and the Thornes was that Hugo would be allowed to stay at the Ballard Estate and ensure Samson's safety.Apart from that, Samson had no other news of Isabella. Sebastian walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Samson. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of fragrant tea f
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2063
Sebastian exhaled softly and pointed at the technique he had just handed to Whitney. He said, "If you can memorize this technique within three days, I can teach you."The technique Sebastian had given her was a basic introduction to the martial arts. It was also a basic technique for mystic arts practitioners, but it would let someone of Whitney's disposition become a sage even more quickly.That meant that Whitney had the advantage over ordinary Warriors. It was Sebastian's final favor to her."Alright! I'll recite it to you tomorrow morning!" Whitney said firmly, clenching her fists tightly. Sebastian smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should get to bed soon. I'll get going now."Upon seeing that Sebastian was leaving, Whitney got up quickly and grabbed hold of him. "Can't you stay?" she asked.After their divorce, Whitney had never spent any time alone with Sebastian. Even at the convenience store, Rosalie had always been with them.It was a r

Whitney smiled bitterly, but tears spilled down her cheeks. She said to Sebastian, her voice choking up with emotion, "I see that I was in the wrong all along. But… but it wasn't that I didn't trust you, it's just that—"Sebastian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. He said calmly, "Actually, you were just blinded by the false fame and power of the world."In your heart, you feel that only money can prove a person's worth. In terms of wealth, I'm just a lazy and complacent dolt when compared with those so-called successful people."Sebastian's words seemed to cut Whitney like a knife. It wasn't all her fault. After all, historically, most people used money to measure the success of a person. Otherwise, why would there be the saying of how no one remembered the poor, but everyone showed up for the rich?"The truth is that all those wealthy heirs are worth even less than a dog to the Warriors and the mystic sects. "I don't fight with the people of the worl
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2061
Whitney perked up at Sebastian's question. "It's all because you ran into the two monsters that day," she said. "I saw it on the surveillance footage. That was when I realized that the two women living in the store don't have that kind of relationship with you…"Whitney had never asked, and Sebastian hadn't bothered to explain who Nina and Lyanna were. That was why she had mistakenly thought that both of them were Sebastian's lovers as well.Realization had only dawned on her when she heard Nina address Sebastian as her master, even in her dying breath. Whitney had seen how powerful Nina was that day and how she had been willing to die in order to protect Sebastian.Nina and Lyanna weren't Sebastian's lovers. They were his servants. Not only that, Nina was a thousand-year-old giant snake!That had completely changed Whitney's view of the world. Although there had always been legends of mystical beings and ghosts, Whitney was an accomplished businesswoman who believed firmly in sc

Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. "I'm not from the Ballard Estate," he said. "My name is Sebastian, and it's better if my cousin weren't seen around me too much.""Oh, you're Sebastian."The two young women breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked him up and down for a long time before exchanging a glance. Then, they covered their faces and giggled.One of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me. Honestly… you seem pretty normal. I don't get why Ms. Sutton is yearning for you so much."Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly and said nothing.The young woman led Sebastian into the house, where Whitney was sitting and reading a book intently. She said, "Ms. Sutton, look who's here."Whitney put down her book and looked up. When she saw Sebastian behind the young woman, she was both surprised and delighted. She got up and threw herself into Sebastian's arms."Sebastian, is it really you?"The young woman covered her face and chuckled before leaving the room sile
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2059
Sebastian watched Andreas leave and exhaled deeply. Preston wasn't the only one he didn't trust. No one in the Ballard Estate was worthy of his trust, including Andreas.Once Andreas had completely disappeared, Sebastian beckoned to the woods in the distance and said, "Come out!"In a flash, Duo appeared at his side. "My lord, why didn't you wipe out those people in the hall today?" he asked.Duo clenched his fists tightly, and there was a murderous look simmering in his eyes. Although he hadn't been in the hall, he had clearly heard everything the Ballards had said.Anyone who disrespected his master deserved death!Besides, neither Sebastian nor Duo would have had to lift a finger to kill them. All they had to do was to crush the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and trigger the divine tribulation. Once it descended, no one in the hall would have lived to tell the tale, including Arnaud."If we become hostile with the Ballards, it'll be almost impossible for us to leave in peace. Now
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2058
"It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2056
Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were
