Chapter 40

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Jimmy shook the gourd vigorously in his hand and chanted an incantation after he finished speaking.

The gourd emitted black mists continuously as the incantation was uttered. The mists filled the air and transformed into terrifying faces of spirits.

Shrill screams were emitted from the mists, resembling the wails of evil spirits that had crawled out from hell.

"Oh my god!"

"What is this? Is this black magic?"

"Help! Run …"

Many of the wealthy people in the courtyard were frightened to death.

They fell to the floor and scrambled under tables. Trembling all over, they clutched their heads and chanted prayers in their hearts.

All their lives, these aristocrats had only seen money and women. They had never witnessed such a horrifying scene before.

This had completely exceeded their understanding.

"T-This is the necromancy spell from Cozind …" Luca exclaimed.

"Mr. Xeno is truly extraordinary. To think he could command evil spirits … My geomancy skills are nothing compared

    After that, everyone watched on in amazement and bewilderment. Sebastian tapped the jewelry seven times with his finger. Then, he flung the jewelry at the cursed gourd and yelled, "Lend me the power of the universe and grant me the power of the gods to let lightning strike the earth! "Hear my pleas at once! I summon thee, lightning!"There was a thunderclap and a flash of lightning. It hit the cursed gourd directly.That was the lightning spell!It used positive energy to suppress cursed energy. When the lightning crashed down into the courtyard, Sebastian looked as awe-inspiring and lofty as a god!The cursed gourd was struck by lightning and split into pieces with a crack. Meanwhile, the dense black fog suspended midair immediately vanished due to the lightning as well!It disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, the frosty atmosphere in the courtyard went away, too. "Oh! My cursed gourd!"Jimmy let out a yell as he saw the broken pieces of his cursed gourd. Then, he

    Sebastian didn't want to involve himself with the other party any longer. Meanwhile, when Luca heard his reply, he immediately escaped. Tim frowned and glared at Sebastian. After sneering at the latter, he walked out of the courtyard. That night, he had utterly embarrassed himself. At the same time, Tim would remember Sebastian from then on. "I'm tired, Ms. Griffin. I'm going to head home now," Sebastian said. Rosalie smiled. "Dr. Ballard, I'll send you home."The other party nodded in agreement. After that, they walked out of the courtyard together. However, before they left the place, they heard someone call out, "Dr. Ballard, please wait!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow. He looked back and saw James running toward him. The man was out of breath, and his face was very pale. "Dr. Ballard, may I speak to you for a moment?""Just tell me what you want directly," Sebastian replied. Then, James said, "Dr. Ballard, to be honest, the Turner family has undergone some issues

    "Haha, how can you hide anything from your grandfather? I watched you grow up. Your emotions are clearly exposed on your face now." Oliver laughed tenderly. He knew what his granddaughter was feeling. "Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore." Rosalie stomped her foot. "Rosalie, I need to remind you something. Dr. Ballard is competent and has a bright future ahead of him. "However, he's divorced. You'll have to consider this carefully," Oliver sighed. The old man saw what Sebastian did that night when he was upstairs. He even knew that the younger man had saved Nathan and exposed Jimmy's tricks.Evidently, Sebastian was a hidden expert!That young man probably had a reason for living an ordinary life in Steinberg. "Grandpa, I still like him even though he's divorced!" Rosalie replied stubbornly. Oliver stopped smiling. "But he has nothing now.""So what? I believe that he'll be an extraordinary man in the future. He'll be adored by many and will be an extremely remarkable

    Whitney frowned. She glanced at Rosalie suspiciously and questioned, "Are you sure?" "Of course!" Rosalie replied with a smile. "Good! It's a deal then!" Whitney nodded. Rosalie chuckled and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Just don't go back on it like Fergus later on." They were starting to compete with each other silently. "Hmph! I won't lose." Whitney huffed coldly, casting a gaze at Rosalie before walking past her. Rosalie smiled and didn't say much, simply walking away. Meanwhile, on the other side, Sebastian walked alongside Isabel for a while and asked, "Ms. Jimenez, is there anything I can help you with?" Isabel smiled as they walked. "I heard from the Griffins that Dr. Ballard has been looking for some rare medicinal ingredients?" "That's right." Sebastian nodded. Did the Griffin family inform Isabel about this matter?"Perfect timing. It just so happened that I know a tycoon whose expertise is making medicinal ingredients. If Dr. Ballard isn't in

    "Huh, isn't that just a charlatan?" Howard shook his head, sneering sarcastically. He felt that Nathan had made a misjudgment this time. A charlatan would not make it to high society. However, Sebastian calmly spoke up, "Mr. Tuffin, your forehead is darkened, and your eyebrows are sinking. I fear that you'll be facing an imminent catastrophe, even a fatal one." Sebastian had observed Howard's facial features earlier, and it was concerning. Even the slightest misfortune could pose a threat to his life. "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! So you're really capable of fortune-telling?" Howard exploded in anger. He slammed the table and shouted, "Sebastian, I know you want to prove yourself, but overdoing it will backfire! "Talking about darkened foreheads and catastrophes is sheer nonsense!" "Mr. Tuffin, I'm just telling the truth, and everything I said has a scientific basis. It would be best for you to stay here tonight and strengthen the security around you. "Also, it's advis

    But now, it was too late for Howard to regret. A cold, scarred face appeared at the broken window, grinning menacingly at Howard. "Mr. Tuffin, it's been a while." "You're from the Wagner family!" Howard's eyes widened. He immediately recognized the person before him.The man was his archenemy. He and the rest were the underground thugs of the Wagner family. He hadn't expected them to trace him all the way to Steinberg. "What do you want? I'm Howard from the Tuffin family!" Howard was furious, but deep down, fear consumed him more. The man sneered coldly. "I want you dead." With those words, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pressed it against Howard's forehead."Stop!" All of a sudden, a furious shout rang out. The scarred face turned to see a man and a woman walking over. It was none other than Sebastian and Isabel. Initially, Sebastian didn't want to get involved in this matter. But, due to Isabel's insistence that Howard likely possessed the medicinal

    A dozen silver needles shot out.The henchmen instantly fell to the ground after getting hit by the needles. Clutching their arms, they cried out miserably and rolled around in pain.Seeing this scene, Boris panicked. Who exactly was this guy?He was ruthless!It was terrifying!"Damn! You're looking for death!"Furious, Boris turned around and aimed his gun directly at Sebastian. He then sneered sinisterly, "Kid, I don't believe you can survive under my gun!"However, Sebastian remained fearless. He stared indifferently at Boris before saying solemnly, "You might hit me if I was 10 meters away. But you can't hurt me within 10 meters.""Bullshit! Go to hell!"Boris pulled the trigger out of rage!"Bang!"A gunshot rang out.Shocked, Isabel covered her mouth and shouted, "Dr. Ballard, get out of the way!"But it was too late.Flames spew out from the muzzle.Yet, that bullet seemed to have become ten times slower in Sebastian's eyes.Under the horrified gazes of Isab

    Howard's hair stood on end when he heard that. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Dr. Ballard, please save me. I'm willing to do anything as long as you can help me."Isabel added, "Uncle Howard, Dr. Ballard only needs a few medicinal herbs.""Dr. Ballard, I will give you everything the Tuffins have! All I hope for is for you to save me!"Howard seemed anxious. He was utterly frightened.He would have died without Sebastian tonight!Smiling faintly, Sebastian said, "Mr. Tuffin, please get up. I can help you resolve your issue if you can find three medicinal herbs for me."Upon hearing that, Howard hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "Please go ahead, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian replied, "I need the Angel Hyssop, Fade Dill, and Water Lavender. The older they are, the better."Howard was stunned. He looked somewhat doubtful. "Dr. Ballard, the Tuffins have Angel Hyssop and Fade Dill. They're both at least a hundred years old. But I don't think I've heard of Water Lavender ..."

    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

    Sebastian threw his head back in laughter. He strode forward, standing in the center of the hall, and said coldly. "Ungrateful? How could you have the audacity to say such a thing?"Even if I'm surrounded by enemies, you Ballards can forget about making me submit! It's just death, after all. If I even blink, then I won't call myself a man!"Everyone there stared at Sebastian."How dare that brat be so cocky? If he's not punished, it'll be a disgrace to our family rules!""He should be given the death penalty!""It'll be a disaster if we just let him be, and it'll only bring trouble for our family. Please give the order, and we'll kill him at once!"The entire hall was in an uproar. Even Preston, who had been speaking up for Sebastian and Samson, sighed in resignation.Since Sebastian had already made his stance clear, Preston couldn't help even if he wanted to.Sebastian had roused the anger of everyone there, and Arnaud had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything. He was cl

    Sebastian was just about to step forward when Samson hastily waved a hand at him and said, "Sebastian, the grudges of the Ballard family from over ten years ago have nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!""But—"Sebastian's gaze sharpened as he turned to look at Milton. There was an icy glint in his eyes. Samson shook his head slightly at Sebastian. The Ballard Estate had at least ten experts at the eighth level of the Eldoria realm. At Sebastian's current level, trying to fight them would only bring him big trouble."Sebastian, one must learn how to adapt to the situation," Samson whispered into his ear using voice projection. "Today, I will exchange my legs for your and Whitney's freedom. Think of it as a payment for what I owe you and your mother."Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He hated himself for being too weak. He couldn't even protect his own family in a place like the Ballard Estate, where many experts were gathered.However, he would never allow anyone to

    "Do you accept it, Samson?" Arnaud asked harshly when he saw that Preston hadn't said anything else. He turned to look directly at Samson.Samson smiled bitterly and turned to look at Sebastian before raising his head to look at Arnaud, who was sitting high above them. He said, "Uncle Arnaud, I was the reason for everything that happened. I wish to ask you not to trouble Sebastian.""What are you talking about?" Preston was agitated. He stood up again and yelled, "There must still be an investigation about who was right and who was wrong. Why should they break your legs?"As he spoke, his eyes blazed with fury. He looked at the thin old man and said furiously, "Milton, you old bastard! How can you be so shameless at your age? Tell me! Did you embellish the story to Arnaud?""Uncle Preston!" Samson stopped him quickly and sighed slightly. "Forget it. It's my fault for bringing such huge trouble upon our family back then."I admit that I have let our family down. Since imprisoning m

    As the man in the black robe yelled, the entire hall fell silent at once. The thin old man threw the black-robed old man a disgruntled look, but he returned obediently to his seat.Once the noise had died down, Preston stepped forward and swept an icy gaze over the crowd who were present. "You call yourself the elders of the family?"The monument of our ancestral dragon is right in front of you. How could you bully two young members of the family in front of it? Don't you feel any shame?"Besides, how dare you speak before Arnaud does?"After the harsh scolding they received from Preston, no one in the crowd dared to protest. Sebastian nodded involuntarily. It appeared that Preston did have influence in the Ballard family. At least no one had interrupted his scolding, including Arnaud and the man in the black robe.Preston huffed angrily and bowed to Arnaud, who sat in the middle. "Arnaud, I've brought Samson and Sebastian!"Preston went over to the chair next to the black-robe

    "Sebastian, I won't be going in. Remember, don't say anything without being spoken to, and don't be impulsive!" Andreas said softly in Sebastian's ear when they reached the door to the hall. He then walked over to the crowd, which was packed on both sides of the hall.Samson and Preston walked into the hall without any change in expression. Sebastian hesitated for a moment before hurrying to catch up.When they reached the entrance, the two old men reached out to stop them and said to Preston, who was in the lead, "Preston, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to go in. Everyone knows that you're biased toward Samson's family. If you get into an argument with Arnaud, then—""Nonsense!" Preston yelled furiously. He spoke in a menacing tone to the two old men. "Don't try those tricks with me. Today, I'm going to be the voice of reason. Who among you can do anything to me?"With that, he pushed them aside and strode into the hall.The two old men gazed after his ret

    The Ballard Estate's resources were unfathomable as it was. Could Isabella's family be even more powerful than theirs?Sebastian clearly remembered that both he and Samson were under the Sacred Medicine Society. They even had the same mentor.The Sacred Medicine Society was above all the other mystic martial arts sects. Even the sect leaders of the Nine Sects were very respectful toward his mentor.If Samson really was from the same sect as Sebastian, then his mentor had clearly been unable to save him. Wouldn't that mean that the Sacred Medicine Society was no match for the Ballards?Wouldn't that mean that Isabella's family was an even greater entity?"If my mother's family is really that powerful, why couldn't they rescue my father? There would also be no reason to let me join the Sacred Medicine Society either, right?" Sebastian asked probingly. It seemed as if Andreas had never even thought about such questions. He smiled and shook his head. "You probably don't know about a
