Chapter 52

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Sebastian, be careful!" Standing at the entrance, Tommy and several neighbors shouted in concern.

Whitney stood rooted to the ground. She stared intently at Sebastian as he rushed inside.

For a moment, she seemed to see the Sebastian she knew from three years ago, who was willing to do anything for her.

Mabel exited the car, too. She sneered disdainfully. "It's just a run-down shop. Is it really necessary?"

Whitney raised an eyebrow and questioned her coldly, "Did you and Fergus do this? You went too far!"

"Ms. Sutton, do you feel sorry for him? Don't forget. Both of you are already divorced! He almost got you and Frostwave Corporation into trouble today!

"Burning down his little shop is too light of a punishment. Just wait. He'll come begging for our help without the shop."

Mabel smirked triumphantly.

Whitney scoffed and was about to run into the shop.

Mabel hurriedly grabbed her. She was puzzled. "Ms. Sutton, what are you doing?"

"I'll go take a look," Whitney replied.

    "Whitney is a strong woman. I've only seen her three times. Every time I saw her from a distance, I felt a chilling aura.""Besides, don't forget her current status. She's Steinberg's most successful businesswoman with a net worth of ten billion! "Forgive me for being blunt, but you might be a burden in her eyes. It's a good choice to divorce her. You can stay with me in the future. I'll take care of you."With that, Tommy poured some alcohol for Sebastian.Sebastian chuckled and raised his glass. "Tommy, do you think power and status are that important?"Tommy laughed and replied, "I don't know. Only the big shots care about those things. I'm content with my life."Sebastian was momentarily stunned but laughed along."By the way, Sebastian, what are your plans for the future? Will you renovate the shop, or do you have other plans?" Tommy asked.Sebastian shook his head and said, "I don't know for now. I want to take a break."Tommy smiled and suggested, "Sebastian, I don't w

    Mabel then handed a tablet to Whitney.Whitney's expression changed as she quickly took the tablet and glanced at it. Frowning, she asked, "Why are there so many negative comments about us?""It's all because of that jerk, Sebastian! He posted the acupuncture technique for treating certain illnesses in conjunction with the Goldcrow Pill on a forum. "Then, people started feeling skeptical about our company's promotion of the pill. The post was reposted on various platforms in less than half an hour.""Besides, a video of Sebastian treating Mr. Whitaker Senior at the estate was released.""Now, netizens are criticizing the Goldcrow Pill under the video. They say that our company produces harmful medicine!"Mabel explained angrily. Her words were filled with resentment towards Sebastian.Whitney quickly browsed through the comments and said, "Ask the Public Relations Department to deal with this immediately.""I've already informed them to do so," Mabel replied.Whitney's frown

    "Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Cobb. Also, congratulations in advance on winning Ms. Sutton's heart."Being a secretary wasn't her ultimate goal.She wanted to become the queen of Steinburg's business world!Who wouldn't want to climb to the top?After hanging up the phone, Mabel glanced meaningfully at Whitney's office and exited the restroom.Meanwhile, Fergus sat on the sofa, surrounded by attractive girls. He held a cigar in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.Across from him sat a man with a fierce and dark complexion.He exuded a terrifying, murderous aura.There were stacks of banknotes on the table, totaling around two million dollars.Puffing on his cigar, Fergus wore a cold and sinister smile. "Zac, you did a good job. But what I wanted you to do was break his hands. Burning down his shop is not enough."Zac grinned, revealing an evil and sly smile. His voice was hoarse and low. "Mr. Cobb, don't you trust my ability? I will get things settled by tonigh

    The two guys shook their heads vigorously when they heard that. They exclaimed, "No, no. We're not loyal.""That's great." Sebastian smiled and sat back down. He asked them, "So, who sent you?""Z-Zac ... It was Zac!"Anxious, one of them stuttered. He was afraid Sebastian would crush his knees if he didn't respond in time."Yes, yes. Zac sent us."Not to be outdone, the other guy eagerly added, "He offered to pay us 20 thousand dollars to chop off both your hands.""He wants to buy my hands for 20 thousand dollars?"Sebastian frowned and said coldly, "I don't recall offending this Zac you speak of."The two men shook their heads and blurted, "We don't know. We're simply doing our jobs. You have to ask Zac for the details.""Where is he?"A chilling gaze flashed across Sebastian's eyes as he asked."We have no idea. We never knew Zac's whereabouts. He contacts us through the phone," one of them replied.Sebastian nodded and extended his hand. "Give me your phone."The man

    "Bastard, you arrived quite fast. Where are my men?"Zac questioned with a stern face.Sebastian approached him with his hands in his pockets. He glanced around the room, assessing the positions of Zac's underlings and the potential weapons available to them. It was only then that he sat before Zac. He crossed his legs and smiled faintly. "I tied them up."Zac slammed his palm on the table angrily, shouting, "Bastard! How dare you touch my men? Even if you're God, you won't walk out of here tonight!"As Zac finished his sentence, his fierce men surrounded Sebastian. They retrieved gleaming knives from their waists.Unfazed, Sebastian poured himself a drink, took a sip, and asked, "Zac, right? I don't recall us having any grievances. If I'm not mistaken, there's someone behind you.""I'll give you a chance. Tell me who it is. I can pretend nothing happened and leave.""Hahaha!"Hearing that, Zac laughed out loud. He stared at Sebastian disdainfully. "Bastard, did I hear you

    Sebastian smirked coldly. He calmly sat in the spot Zac previously occupied and uttered, "Can you tell me now?"Zac gulped nervously and replied, "Mr. Ballard, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. In our line of work, there are rules."If I spill the beans, I won't be able to survive in Steinberg anymore. Mr. Ballard, please spare me. I'll do anything to repay your kindness."Sebastian frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "Remember, from now on, my rules are the rules."If you don't reveal the truth, I can kill you now.""You have three minutes to think it over."Zac gasped and trembled. He could sense the overwhelming killing intent Sebastian emanated.He wondered if Sebastian really dared to kill him.His head was lowered, and Zac was sweating profusely.Time passed second by second.As Zac was about to give in to Sebastian's oppressive aura, the door of the private room swung open.Then, a stern voice rang out in the room."Young man, forgive while you ca

    Upon hearing this, Sebastian shook his head and said coldly, "I'm not releasing him."Hector's face fell. He reprimanded, "Seems like you want to do it the hard way.""So what?" Sebastian smiled faintly, showing no fear whatsoever.Zac was terrified by Sebastian's bold response!Sebastian was too arrogant!He didn't even bother to show Hector any respect.Hector could secretly kill someone in Steinberg with just a few words.How could Sebastian be so bold?At the same time, Zac sneered inwardly.Since Sebastian had offended Hector, he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.Hector's face turned grim. He shouted angrily, "Young man! You shouldn't be too arrogant! Do you think that knowing some martial arts makes you superior?"You must know that there is always someone better than you. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"With that, Hector took action first. His figure flashed, and he teleported before Sebastian like a ghost!Immediately afterward,

    Hiss!Zac's lips twitched as he saw Hector flipped to the ground by Sebastian's slap. He was dumbfounded.Stunned, he stared in fear at Sebastian, who was approaching him.Sebastian just sent the owner of Steinberg's Thunder Martial Arts Club flying with a single slap!Hector was completely defenseless!Who exactly was this young man?A chill ran down Zac's spine. He felt goosebumps creeping on him.In the next second, Sebastian's grim voice rang out. "Now, can you tell me?"Zac gulped and trembled. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly banged his head on the ground. He pleaded, "I beg you to spare my life. I'll tell you ..."It's Fergus. The CEO of Cobb Corporation made me do this. He gave me two million dollars to disable your hands."Zac was genuinely terrified.He had never felt such immense fear before."Fergus?" Sebastian furrowed his brows.So, Fergus was behind this.After getting the answer that he wanted, Sebastian turned around and left.Watching Sebastian's

    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
