Chapter 4

작가: Wendell Mayhew
Over in Rosalie's car, Sebastian had just found out who she was. She was a part of the Griffins of Janover.

Sebastian's brows creased slightly. If not mistaken, the Griffins were the juggernauts of Janover. Every move they made could rock the entire city.

If Whitney had been in the car as well, her jaw would have dropped in shock.

The Griffins of Janover, the family she desperately wanted to form an association with, were seeking help from Sebastian, the useless man she'd just divorced.

Soon, the car stopped outside a residential compound.

Once they got out of the car, Rosalie hastily brought Sebastian into one of the bedrooms.

A sickly old man lay on the bed. All the color had drained from his face. Even his lips were purplish. Every breath he took seemed to drag on forever. It was as if he were a dying candle flickering in the wind.

A middle-aged man and a doctor stood beside the bed. Dressed in linen, the doctor was inserting acupuncture needles into Rosalie's grandfather, Oliver Griffin.

Sebastian approached the bed, and when he saw what the doctor was doing, he frowned and said, "You're putting the needles in the wrong acupuncture points. If you continue what you're doing, I'm afraid Mr. Griffin Senior won't live past tonight."

Everyone in the room was stunned. They turned around and looked at Sebastian and Rosalie.

The doctor furrowed his brows and snapped, "Who are you, you ignorant young man? Are you doubting my medical skills? Do you know who I am?"

He was greatly displeased.

He had been practicing medicine for over three decades now, and no one ever dared to say he'd made a mistake with his acupuncture points.

The young man before him looked to be about 26 or 27, but the former had the nerve to speak recklessly and cast doubt on his acupuncture technique!

How dare he run his mouth like that?

Acupuncture was considered one of the hardest fields of medicine to master. No one could become an expert unless they had a decade of training. If a person wanted to be accomplished in the field, they needed at least two decades of training and experience.

The middle-aged man beside the doctor had a strong jaw, bold features, and a stern gaze. He glared at Sebastian and fumed, "Who are you? Who allowed you to come inside? Get out!"

"Dad, he's the genius doctor I brought back. Mr. Sinclair recommended him. He has something called a Goldcrow pill which can treat all kinds of illnesses," Rosalie swiftly explained.

The middle-aged man's expression darkened with suspicion. "What did you say? He has the Goldcrow pill?"

He was Levi Griffin, the current head of the Griffin family and Rosalie's father.

Before Levi could ask further, the doctor snorted, "The Goldcrow pill? I've never heard of that before. Are you sure you didn't get conned, Ms. Griffin? If there's a medicine that can cure all illnesses, why would we need doctors?"

His words were dripping with scorn.

Levi frowned.

Rosalie quickly cried out, "Dad, it's true. Mr. Sinclair told me about it …"

Worried that Sebastian's presence would affect the doctor, Jonah Pike, Levi roared, "That's enough! Get him out of there! We have Dr. Pike here. He's all we need!"

Jonah was known as Steinberg's genius doctor!

It had not been easy for the Griffins to invite Jonah over to treat Oliver. Levi was not going to let a young man ruin things for them.

Rosalie wanted to try and reason with Levi, but the look in his eyes made her freeze.

"Get out," he ordered.

Upon seeing that, Sebastian huffed in displeasure, "Since you don't believe it, Mr. Griffin, let's forget about it. Still, out of courtesy, I'll give you a warning.

"If he continues to administer the same acupuncture treatment, in less than five minutes, Mr. Griffin Senior will be coughing up blood and taking his last breaths. When that happens, don't come begging for my help!"

Sebastian turned to leave.

Infuriated, Levi hollered, "Beg you? You think too highly of yourself, you punk! Since you're so sure of yourself, care to make a bet?"

"What bet?" Sebastian turned back around and asked.

Levi sneered, "We'll bet on what you just claimed will happen. If we end up begging you for help, I'll not only get on my knees, but I'll even let my beautiful daughter marry you! But, if my father recovers, you're going to have to break all four of your limbs today, punk!"

Sebastian smirked. Glancing at the blushing Rosalie, he replied, "Deal! I'll wait for you to get on your knees to beg me and give me your daughter's hand in marriage!"

Once he finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom.

    Inside the bedroom, Levi turned to Jonah and said placatingly, "Sorry about that, Dr. Pike. My daughter is too naive. I'm sure she got fooled by someone. I'll give her a good scolding later. Please carry on with the treatment.""Alright," Jonah responded before swiftly placing the next needle.Once he placed the final needle, Oliver, who had been unconscious for many days, slowly opened his eyes."Dad, you're awake! How wonderful!"Levi was so emotional that his eyes grew red.The Griffin family had consulted all of the most famous doctors in the world to find someone who could treat Oliver. Alas, it was to no avail. In the end, they came to Steinberg and went to great lengths to get Jonah to come and take a look at Oliver."You are indeed the genius doctor of Steinberg, Dr. Pike. You were able to save my father from the throes of death! I have never seen anything like this before. From now on, you will forever be the Griffins' most honored guest," Levi declared as he swiftly e

    The moment Sebastian's words rang out, the living room descended into silence.Not a single sound could be heard.Rosalie jumped to her feet. Blushing hard, she stared wide-eyed at Sebastian.She could not believe he had the audacity to ask Levi to get on his knees and beg.Levi's expression was unpleasant as well.But, his hesitation only lasted for a brief moment before he fell to his knees and pleaded with utmost sincerity, "Please save my father, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian set down his cup and remarked, "As expected of you, Mr. Griffin. You know when to yield. I'll do it. You may rise."He started walking toward the bedroom.Levi got back on his feet.Rosalie hurried over to him and asked, "Dad, you just—"Levi cut her off and said, "Don't say anything more. I was wrong earlier. It was only right for me to kneel."Then, his eyes flashed menacingly as he continued, "However, if he fails to do what he claims he can do, I'll make him pay!"Although Sebastian was further up, h

    "You know your stuff after all. I'm surprised you're familiar with the soul revival technique," Sebastian remarked with a chuckle."I came across records of it in an ancient text by accident, Dr. Ballard. I never thought I'd get to witness it in person today. Please take me as your student, Dr. Ballard!" Jonah said once more.Feeling helpless, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. "Don't tell anyone else I'm your mentor, understood?""Yes, of course. I understand," Jonah said respectfully as he stood beside Sebastian.At that moment, Levi came forward. His mannerisms were respectful as he expressed, "Thank you for saving my father, Dr. Ballard. From today onward, we, the Griffins, will forever be indebted to you! "If you ever need anything, just say the word, and we'll do anything within our means to get it done!""You don't need to be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin. It wasn't a big deal," Sebastian said."But, I do need your help with something. The Griffins are business ma

    "Are you insulting me?" Mabel fumed."Who else, if not you? You came on behalf of Frostwave Corporation? What makes you qualified to represent them? Your shamelessness?"Mabel ground her teeth in anger. Reining in her fury, she growled, "I know you're upset because of the divorce, Sebastian, but you should know that things won't work out between you and Ms. Sutton. You'll only be dragging her down if you stay with her!"Plus, you're the one who has done wrong by Ms. Sutton, not the other way around! You said that you were preparing to give Ms. Sutton the Goldcrow pill as a gift for your third wedding anniversary. Are you refusing to keep your word now just because you've divorced? Are you even a man?"She continued, "I'm telling you right now! Whether you like it or not, you're going to hand over the formula for the Goldcrow pill today! If anything, I can just tell Ms. Sutton to take you to court. After all, the formula counts as marital property, doesn't it? The court will declare

    Frowning, Whitney asked curiously, "Did you manage to get Dr. Pike to join us?"Mabel shook her head and replied, "No. Dr. Pike said he wanted to retreat from society and focus on honing his medical expertise."Whitney rubbed her temples and sighed.One of her plans to expand the company was by hiring Jonah to be Frostwave Corporation's consultant doctor. It looked like they had to set that plan aside for now."But, I got the formula for the Goldcrow pill, Ms. Sutton!"Mabel sounded extremely pleased with herself as she sent the formula Sebastian gave her to Whitney through her phone.Whitney frowned and asked, "The formula for the Goldcrow pill? What's that?"Mabel swiftly explained everything, and she even played a recording of her call with Jonah."Is the Goldcrow pill really that incredible? Even Dr. Pike wouldn't be able to create something like it?" Whitney exclaimed. She was dumbstruck.Mabel hummed in confirmation and nodded before adding, "Now that we have the formu

    "That's enough!" Whitney snapped in fury. "What do you mean by this, Sebastian? Are you telling me to give up on this project?""That's right," Sebastian replied."And then what?" Whitney questioned. "Become like you, someone who daydreams in that little shop of his? I'm so disappointed in you, Sebastian!""Hasn't Frostwave Corporation given you enough?" Sebastian asked.Taking a deep breath, Whitney declared, "You're so ignorant, Sebastian! I'm definitely going to do my best to carry out the Goldcrow pill project! The more you insist on trying to stop me, the harder I'll work to make it a success!"I'll prove to you that you're not the only one who can make Frostwave Corporation successful! I can do it too!"After a long silence, Sebastian sighed exasperatedly and said, "I've given you enough warnings. I hope you won't come begging me for help in the future.""I'll never beg for your help!" Whitney shrieked before terminating the call. The conversation ended on a sour note.Wh

    For four consecutive years, Isabel topped the list of powerful businesswomen in Steinberg as the one with the most potential and influence.It was not at all an exaggeration to call her the queen of Steinberg's business world.In the last year, Isabel was all Whitney could talk about.She was the person Whitney wanted to be and was also a role model for all the women in Steinberg's business world.Isabel was the reason why Whitney changed.Sebastian frowned when he heard that yet another person had come under Chester's recommendation."I don't need five minutes. I've gotten everything I need to know. I can treat you," Sebastian said.Isabel was taken aback.All of Steinberg was aware of her condition, but she had consulted with numerous renowned doctors, and no one was able to treat it.She even offered a handsome fee. Alas, it was to no avail.In fact, Isabel even said that as long as someone could find a cure for her strange condition, she was willing to marry that person,

    "Take everything off?" Isabel repeated. Startled, she turned bright red.She did not expect Sebastian to bluntly ask that she take off her clothes and underwear.Even though she was a career woman with a long list of accolades, she had never dated anyone before.In the last four years, she did not even hold a man's hand, let alone strip naked in front of one …After hesitating briefly, Isabel turned around. With her back toward Sebastian, she slowly took off her dress, revealing her smooth and flawless back.The gentle curves of her neck and shoulders as well as her slender waist made Sebastian gulp. He was a little dazed.Meanwhile, Isabel was so embarrassed that she was trembling.She slowly took off her black lace underwear before swiftly lying head down on the bed. Her ample bosom was squished against the mattress."I'm ready," Isabel muttered with her head turned to the side. She dared not look at Sebastian.Her cheeks were flamed.Sebastian took in the voluptuous physiq

    Rexton's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched. He stared at Samson with a wary look in his eyes. He and Samson were two minor stages apart. It was no laughing matter. If the two of them began to fight, Rexton would be sure to die if he didn't have any external assistance."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Samson sneered as he asked in a cold, accusatory tone. That flipped a switch in Rexton's head. His expression changed instantly, and he turned a fierce look on Samson. "Afraid?" he asked through gritted teeth.As he spoke, Rexton seemed to make up his mind. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pale blue paper charm, which looked thicker than usual.The paper charm was oppressive to look at. Sebastian instinctively sensed a threatening energy approaching!Even Samson looked wary when he saw the paper charm."Uncle Rexton, this is a Soulcrush Charm. Great Uncle Arnaud has clearly said that no one in the Ballard Estate is allowed to use spiri

    Sebastian immediately felt the pressure around him drop. The feeling of being pinned down disappeared as well."How dare you—"Before Rexton could finish, a shadow flashed past him, and Samson popped up right in front of him.Samson stuck out his finger as if it were a sword and tapped him on the chest. Although Samson hadn't used any strength, Rexton could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was a dot of scarlet light that swirled around Samson's finger. A crimson rune was gradually appearing, and there was a chilling, murderous sensation in the air. Sebastian gasped. He had finally realized how the mystic spells should be used, and he was in awe. It wasn't that Sebastian was unable to do it. It was just that up until then, he had only seen the mystic sect apprentices of the secular world. Perhaps their understanding of how to use mystic spells was too superficial, which was why Sebastian's perception had also been affected.Realization only dawned on him when he saw

    At Rexton's roar of fury, everyone turned to look at Samson, who was still standing there quietly without moving."A traitor? Murder?"There was finally a flicker of emotion on Samson's face. A sudden glimmer of light flared in his eyes, which had been devoid of life for a long time."Rexton, you know very well how your father died!"As Samson spoke, he walked toward Rexton with a steady step as he said, "I admit that I've wronged Sebastian and his mother. I was just too soft-hearted back then. That's why I believed your lies and tried to keep the big picture in mind for the Ballards, but look at how you've treated me!"There was suddenly a cold glint in Samson's eyes, and he said in a thunderous tone, "You set up a series of traps and tried to kill and torture my wife and son!"You pursued them until the ends of the earth! If my mentor hadn't rescued Sebastian, do you think he'd still be alive today?"Did you just accuse me of murder? Did you ever think of the fact that we're f

    Sebastian felt his blood boiling.Although he had once hated Samson because of how he had kicked Sebastian and Isabella out of the family, Samson was still his flesh and blood!When he saw how Rexton was mocking and humiliating Samson, Sebastian felt extreme fury.However, the restrictive force around him was just too strong. Even though he used every skill he had ever learnt, he still couldn't get out of the Skylock Spell's restriction. He could only watch them be smug and arrogant.At that moment, a young man in the crowd suddenly gave Sebastian a resounding slap and said coldly, "It's been ten years! This day has finally come for you and Samson!"If your mother hadn't caused a huge fuss here, my grandfather would never have died! Today, I am going to let Samson get a taste of what it's like to have a family member die in front of him!"The man suddenly pulled out a three-foot-long sword from behind his back. He thrust it at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian couldn't even move a

    "Sebastian, I was only planning to ask you to go and greet the elders," Rexton said. "Since you insist on doing things the hard way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"He put one hand behind his back as he fixed a sinister look on Sebastian. There was a murderous tone in his voice as he spoke once again. "Even if you do have some skills, those basic moves aren't even worth looking at here!"As Rexton finished speaking, several youths from the Ballard family stood in the four main directions, respectively. They were all holding a blue paper charm that even Sebastian had never seen before. They began to form a seal. "Seal off the sky and lock the earth!" the four men boomed simultaneously before tossing the paper charm into the air!In a flash, the four blue paper charms disappeared into thin air. Countless silver bolts of light rushed up to the clouds with the four of them at the center of it!Right after that, the silver bolts of light weaved together to form a huge net. Countle

    "Stop talking!" Rexton said angrily, cutting off their discussions. He then turned to look at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, as a junior member of the family, you should be polite. Since you're back, come with me and greet your elders!"Although Rexton appeared to be giving Sebastian a suggestion, the murderous look in his eyes and his commanding tone wasn't pleasant at all. Sebastian looked coldly at him and the people behind him. He huffed and asked icily, "What if I refuse?""What did you say?" Rexton's eyes turned cold, and he eyed Sebastian with an unpleasant look on his face.Among the people behind him, four men walked out. They stared fixedly at Sebastian, as if he were their sworn enemy. They had also taken up positions in the best spots to attack."Are you going to try to do things by force now? Fine. I'd like to stretch too!" Sebastian crooked a finger at them in a challenge."Where do you think this is? How dare you behave so recklessly here?" one of them yelled a

    Although Sebastian could feel Samson's resignation so clearly, he was determined to find out where Isabella was now that he had met him.When he stepped forward to find out, a noise broke out behind him.There was the sound of footsteps hurrying toward them, and Andreas rushed into the yard, panting heavily. He said urgently to Sebastian, "Bad news! Someone's here to cause trouble! Sebastian, come to the family chapel with me and hide—"Before he could finish, the gates to the yard opened, and over a dozen figures rushed in. The man in the lead was also a middle-aged man in his 40s. Those behind him were almost all among the younger generation of the Ballards.However, all of them had murder in their eyes.It was obvious that the family members of these people had died in the battle that took place when Isabella had turned up to fight with the Ballards. They had come specially to pick a fight with Sebastian upon hearing that he had returned to the Ballard Estate."Well, if it i

    Sebastian gathered himself and waved at Duo as he said, "You don't need to come with me. Just wait there!"He took a deep breath and walked quickly toward the detached house on the slope.When he found himself standing in front of the tall gate, Sebastian suddenly felt conflicted. He hesitated for a long time before pushing the gate open and walking inside.The courtyard was fairly neat and tidy, but the furniture was very crude. There was only a rickety wooden table and a few wooden chairs that had been mended many times.In the spot close to the wooden fence, there was a little flowerbed built with bricks, and flowers and plants in a variety of colors were planted there.Beside the flowerbed, there was a middle-aged man who was over 40 years old, with salt and pepper hair. He was staring fixedly at Sebastian. There was a worn look on his face, which didn't match his age at all. When Sebastian met his eyes, he was immediately surprised.It was Samson, the man who had kicked Se

    Sebastian drew in a sharp breath and looked up at Andreas involuntarily.No wonder he had received news in the past about how Isabella had been seen at an unknown, great mountain.No matter how many people he had sent to do their best to search for her, there had been no trace of her at all.Sebastian now realized that Isabella hadn't been an ordinary person, either. After all, if she had been able to escape unscathed after causing a huge ruckus in the Ballard Estate, she had to be a top expert in terms of both her skills and the realm that she was in!"However, I was still young at the time. There are many things that I've only heard about. When you see Uncle Samson later, everything will become clear!"As he spoke, Andreas led Sebastian around a mountain ridge. At the foot of the mountain, there was a wooden house with a courtyard."Do you mean to say that my mother was also from an elite family of the mystic martial arts?" Sebastian asked, frowning. At that moment, all he want
