Chuck took a sip of tea and frowned slightly as he said, "Ms. Carlton, I won't lie to you. Your son is severely injured, and he cannot be treated by an ordinary doctor.""What should we do, then? Dr. Langley, no matter how much it costs, I can pay! All I want is for him to recover," Lorraine said urgently.Chuck raised an eyebrow and said, "Ms. Carlton, it's not about the money—""What is it then? As long as it's within our ability, we can find you whatever you want, Dr. Langley!" Lorraine said anxiously. Chuck smiled and said, "I will do my best."Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then looked at Lionel and said, "Mr. Potter, if Sebastian dares to turn up at the door, please deal with him!" "No problem." Lionel looked proud and confident as he said, "Ms. Carlton, from what you said about him, this Sebastian probably isn't very skilled in martial arts."He's just a delinquent who injured your son by relying on some martial arts tricks! What a scumbag! Don't worr
"Your son sexually harassed Whitney and tried to rape her, but you think that my ex-wife tried to seduce him?" Sebastian asked coldly. Lorraine didn't care. She scoffed and said, "Your ex-wife is trouble. She looks like a vixen. If she hadn't seduced my son, why would he have been attracted to her?" She added, "I don't have time to talk with you. Since you had the audacity to turn up here, you are doomed to die. If you want to have an easier death, kneel now!"Sebastian laughed, and his expression grew icier. "Like mother, like son! Since the Carltons don't know how to educate their children, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Mr. Carlton Senior," Sebastian said impassively. The rage in his heart had reached its peak. "You asshole! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak of my father!" Lorraine yelled sharply. She was furious, and her face twisted in rage.Sebastian raised his hand, and somehow, he had managed to send a slap through the air at Lorraine. She was se
In a flash, the guards plopped onto the ground one by one, howling as they clutched their bleeding legs.Lorraine was stunned. It had only taken a second for her guards to be defeated, and she shuddered in horror.Then, Sebastian calmly kept his umbrella away and walked slowly toward her.Lorraine was terrified, and she scrambled backward."Bastard! You asshole! How dare you hit me? No one has ever hit me in my life before! I'm the heiress of the Sunway Carlton family! My dad is Kevin Carlton!" she shrieked."Even if you got on your knees and begged for my forgiveness, I will never forgive you! I want you and your bitch ex-wife to die!"However, what she got in response was another slap from Sebastian. The impact made her crumple to the floor as blood poured profusely from her head."Do you think that you're safe because you're a Carlton? One way or another, you are going to apologize to Whitney today!" Sebastian declared coldly."Even if your father, the head of the Carlton fa
"Crazy bastard!" Lionel howled as spiritual energy rolled off him in waves.Meanwhile, the other man who had walked into the room with Lionel, Chuck Langley stood silently to the side as he stared at Sebastian."Kid, if you want to live, you better beg for forgiveness now. Once Lionel attacks you, there's no way you'll survive," Chuck warned with an arrogant grin.Lionel was a disciple of the Irongate Sect of the 36 Sects! He had battled 18 disciples from the Ninth Gate and won. Besides that, he was also one of the top five disciples within the Irongate Sect!So, defeating an amateur like Sebastian was nothing to him!Moreover, Lionel was ranked 32nd on the martial arts world ranking board!When it came to ranking within the martial arts world, there were three ranks.Rookie. Professional. Legendary.The Rookies were martial artists who had just started their training in martial arts, while the Professional and Legendary ranks were the real deal. Only the best of the best cou
"Wonderful!" Lorraine exclaimed. "Mr. Potter! Don't kill him! I want him to be alive when I torture him!"Meanwhile, Sebastian watched on in indifference as Lionel swung his fist at him.He shook his head slightly in exasperation before he said, "It's been four years now, and yet the Irongate Sect has not improved one bit!"I told your sect leader four years ago that though the Ironfist technique is powerful, there's a flaw. When the wielder swings their fist, all their energy is concentrated in it."Which means," Sebastian said before he easily dodged Lionel's fist with the Seven Star Path, "the entire wielder's body becomes a weak spot!"Sebastian had easily dodged Lionel's fist but the shockwave from the force in which Lionel had swung his fist stirred up a gust of strong wind which whipped at the onlooker's faces.Lionel was shell-shocked. He hadn't expected Sebastian to dodge his fist easily.Wait a minute. Was that… the Seven Star Path?Did Sebastian just use the Seven St
Sebastian's sharp glare landed on her as he replied, "I'm Whitney's ex-husband."Just one sentence was enough to explain the reason for Sebastian's appearance. He was Whitney's ex-husband, meaning he was there to get justice for Whitney.Lorraine shuddered in fright at that realization. She could sense a terrifying air from Sebastian. It scared her so much that she dared not move a single muscle."Mr. Potter! Get up! Get up now!" she hissed. However, Lionel had multiple shattered ribs and was clearly unable to even sit up, much less stand. Besides, now that Lionel knew who exactly Sebastian was, he didn't dare to get up!Sebastian was the successor of the Sacred Medicine Society! He was practically a legend in the martial arts world!Seeing how terrified Lionel looked, Lorraine finally understood just how powerful Sebastian was.Sebastian was now walking over to her, and she desperately shouted at him, "Stop! Don't come any closer!""I've told you. If you don't beg for forgi
"And don't even think about getting someone else to remove those needles. No one can remove those needles except for me and if they tried, you'd die," Sebastian said before leaving.Lorraine's angered howls could be heard from outside of the house, and the guards rushed inside to bring her straight to the hospital.Meanwhile, in Sunway, the Carltons also received news of what had happened in Steinberg.In the Carlton family estate, Kevin Carlton was conversing with an old and wise-looking man."Mr. Jett, how much longer do you think I have to live?" Kevin asked respectfully with a cough.Richard Jett stroked his snow-white beard before he reached into his bag to retrieve a box with intricate gold designs.He then gave the box to Kevin as he explained, "Mr. Carlton, this is the Rejuvenation Pill created by the sect leader of the Hundred Heaven sect. It can extend your life by five years.""Rejuvenation Pill? Five years of life?" Kevin exclaimed as he clutched the box gratefully.
Rosalie anxiously paced the room.The Sunway Carlton family was not one to be messed with. The head of the Carltons, Kevin Carlton, hailed from a generation of heroes!Besides that, the Carltons were also one of the four strongest families in Sunway and controlled a quarter of the economy there.Kevin had three children—two sons and one daughter.The eldest son was the general of the Draconic military region. He held a high position within the military region and had five hundred thousand soldiers at his beck and call.Kevin's second son was the Chief Administrative Officer of Sunway and held immense power within the city. As for Kevin's youngest child and only daughter… she was the apple of his eye.Yet Sebastian had beaten her half to death! Why did he do such a thing?"What happened?" Rosalie demanded."Ms. Griffin, I heard that Ms. Carlton had kidnapped Sebastian's ex-wife, Ms. Whitney Sutton," the maid explained.She continued, "I heard that Ms. Sutton was beaten up at
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
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
"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
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
Samson glanced at Sebastian. He took a deep breath and said to Arnaud, "Thank you for sparing me, Uncle Arnaud."He gave Sebastian a few final reminders before leaving the hall with Preston.Once they were gone, Arnaud pointed at Duo and said to Sebastian, "Tell him to leave too."Sebastian waved a hand at Duo."I'll wait for you at the entrance, my lord," Duo said. "If anything happens, I'll be here as soon as you call!"He gave Arnaud a cold look before striding out of the hall.Arnaud watched him leave and smiled approvingly. He beckoned to Sebastian. "Come, sit!"Sebastian didn't hesitate. He crossed the hall and sat in the chair opposite Arnaud."Do you know why I asked Andreas to bring you back here?" Arnaud asked impassively. Sebastian shook his head expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice, "It's probably because of the emerald token in my father's possession."Apart from using him and Whitney as leverage against Samson, he couldn't think of any other reason.Arnau
"The Blessed Child! The Blessed Child has finally come to our family!"The black-robed old man who had been sitting beside Arnaud stood up, looking pleased. He couldn't hide his excitement as he turned to Arnaud and said, "Arnaud, our family is going to prosper!"Only Rexton and Milton looked extremely displeased. Braxton and Roland looked pained, as if they had lost something of great value. They were practically thumping their chests in regret!The Blessed Child had been foretold by one of the heads of the family centuries ago. No matter how far the Ballards declined, the prophecy said that after a few hundred years, a Blessed Child would appear—someone who could lead the family's revival!The only proof of the Blessed Child was for him to enter a master-servant oath with a Devora."Prosper? What a joke!" Hugo scoffed, holding Virtus firmly. "Weren't you all just clamoring about killing the two of them?"At Hugo's words, Arnaud's expression changed slightly. "When did I say tha
"Hugo!"Arnaud, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide. He eyed Hugo with a conflicted expression as he asked, "Have you forgotten the agreement the Thornes made with us ten years ago?"Hugo smiled coldly and put one hand behind his back. "That was the agreement you made with the Thornes. I'm only following Ms. Thorne's orders to protect Samson and find the emerald token. If Samson dies in this battle, how am I supposed to explain that to her?"He pointed at Sebastian and added, "He's Ms. Thorne's flesh and blood. Your family has no right to punish him! If the Ballards insist on killing them today, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"When Hugo had finished, Sebastian finally realized that Hugo was from Isabella's family and that he had stayed at the Ballard Estate to protect Samson.It was clear that Isabella hadn't held a grudge toward Samson. In fact, she had sent an expert to stay behind to protect him in case anything happened.Arnaud's
