Sebastian's expression turned very grim. "Foreigners aren't as good as you think they are," Sebastian said coldly. Tiffany laughed contemptuously and said, "Hey, Ballard, you'd better shut up. We know you're jealous. But what can you do? You jerks just aren't as tall and strong as they are. You'd better pray that you get reincarnated into a better body in your next life." Lindsay and Phoebe laughed raucously, looking disdainful. Sebastian frowned. He was about to lose his temper when Penelope tugged at his hand and shook her head. "Forget it. Don't get angry at them." Sebastian exhaled deeply, suppressing his anger for Penelope's sake. Tiffany laughed coldly when she noticed that he wasn't retaliating. "You're such a loser! You won't even fight back when you're insulted!"Lily tried to gloss things over. "Alright, alright. Since Penelope brought him here, we should be nice. Now, look at the time. Mr. Shaw should be here soon."Tiffany looked excited and said, "Mr. Shaw? H
"What are you afraid of? I'm here, aren't I? I don't care who he is. We'll just sit wherever we want to," Sebastian said calmly. He hated people who used their positions to order others around.His words provoked Lester to anger at once, and he looked furious."You're a cocky punk, aren't you? Do you know who I am?" Lester asked coldly, eyeing Sebastian angrily. The subordinates behind him immediately surged up to them and blocked Sebastian's path.Lily and the others stood back to watch, looking contemptuous. "What an idiot. How dare he try to stand up to Mr. Shaw? He has zero self-awareness!" Tiffany snorted, looking scornful.She wanted Lester to teach Sebastian a lesson because she was very annoyed with Sebastian. Men like him disgusted her.Lindsay added, "Forget about him. He just wants to act cool in front of Penelope. Just wait. Mr. Shaw will teach him how he should behave.""What a disgusting little man. I have no idea why Penelope would hang around someone like him
There was an immediate uproar.Lester clutched his bleeding head, howling in pain. Meanwhile, Lily and the others were paralyzed with fear.Penelope was equally shocked. She hadn't expected Sebastian to be so aggressive."You punk! How dare you smash a bottle over my head? I'll kill you!" Lester roared. "Get him!"At his command, his subordinates charged angrily at Sebastian.Sebastian wasn't about to back down. He grabbed the bottles on the table and smashed them over their heads one by one.With a series of thumps, Lester's subordinates all fell to the floor. They held their bleeding heads and howled relentlessly.The sight scared the crap out of Tiffany and the others."Damn! Is this asshole crazy? He beat up Lester and his subordinates?""Oh no! We're doomed! Penelope's friend is insane! Isn't he just asking to die?""Hmph! He doesn't know his own strength. How dare he beat Mr. Shaw up? Wait and see, he's definitely going to die tonight!"They looked angrily at Sebastian
Glaring at Sebastian, Lester mocked him viciously. "You brat, you actually called for help? Let's see which bastard would dare to help you!" Sebastion chuckled and shook his head. Lester was so ignorant! His attitude annoyed Lily and the others. "You cocky bastard, how dare you still put up an act when you're at death's door? You better kneel and apologize to Mr. Shaw now. If not, you'd get killed before you even know it," Lily said. Lindsay chimed in, "That's right! Penelope, tell this dumb friend of yours to give up. You couldn't afford to offend Mr. Shaw!" "Penelope, I didn't want to lecture you. We invited you here, but you ended up bringing such a brainless man along with you. If I were you, I would've cut him off. I'd take Mr. Shaw's side now and apologize to him." Hearing those words, Penelope thought it over. She then said with a serious tone, "I won't leave my friend behind! Even if something happens to us, I'll bear the consequences with him!" Lily was disappo
Lester led his army of men and walked toward the entrance. Tiffany shot a few glares at Sebastian in disdain. She snickered and said, "We'll see how much longer you're going to put up an act, loser!" "Penelope, you shouldn't defend a friend like that. Hurry up and think of some ways to apologize to Mr. Shaw," Lily advised, shaking her head helplessly before following Lester. Penelope looked anxious. However, Sebastian was calm beside her. "Let's go outside and have a look." "Huh? But…" Penelope was a little worried. Sebastian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's alright." "Okay then." Penelope nodded. She got up and followed Sebastian out of the pub. At that moment, Lester brought his hundred men with him as they strode out of the pub arrogantly. But when they saw what was going on in front of them, they were petrified. Before their eyes, the whole street was packed with men in black suits. It was endless. There were at least ten thousand men! "What, what's going on?
Hearing that made Lester extremely excited. Nodding profusely, he shouted, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wagner! I'll certainly satisfy you and your honored guest!" After that, Lester shouted at his subordinates pretentiously, "Get ready, everyone! This is the night where you can show off your fighting skills! Those who perform well would get awarded with 100 thousand dollars!" Instantly, Lester's men became spirited. This was a great chance to show their capabilities in front of Hans. If they got the job done, they might even be able to work under him. That would be something to be proud of! With that, they would be promoted from regular thugs to actual members of an organization. Everyone then stared at the entrance of the pub. Right then, Sebastian and Penelope happened to be exiting the pub. They were blocking the entrance. Seeing that, Hans was about to walk up to him quickly. But Lester was even more impatient than him. Lester took the lead to run to Sebastian. Point
Lester instantly froze. Jerking his head around, he looked at Hans, who had a gloomy look on his face. He asked, "Mr. Wagner, what did you mean by that?" Hans raised his hand and sent a slap across Lester's face, causing him to spit blood. "He's the important man I was talking about!" Hans bellowed. His words instantly terrified Lester, and his face paled. Lily and the others were shocked too. What was going on? Who was that important man again whom even Hans had to show respect to? Without waiting for them to react, Hans had already dashed up to Sebastian and lowered his head. "Mr. Ballard, my men are all here. You can give us your orders anytime." Sebastian nodded. The sight immediately threw Lester and the others off guard. It was over for them! Totally over! Was that punk actually the important man Hans was waiting for? Lester's face was as white as a sheet, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He then remembered that Hans said there was an idiot who had offende
Sebastian gave Hans a few instructions before sending Penelope back. Before they parted ways at the residential gate, Penelope watched Sebastian with adoring eyes as he entered his car and left. The flower of love had then bloomed in her heart. But Sebastian was oblivious to it. Not long after he woke up the next day, Whitney rushed over to the convenience store. Without thinking twice, she pulled at him and yelled, "Hurry, you have to come with me." "Where to?" Sebastian was dumbfounded. What was Whitney talking about? Why was she in such a rush? "My aunt fell sick. Nobody could figure out the cause. I'm bringing you there to help them out," Whitney said anxiously. She dragged Sebastian into the car. Frowning, Sebastian said, "You're asking me to see a patient? Ms. Sutton, I thought you never believed that I have medical skills." Whitney rolled her eyes at him. "Alright, this is an emergency. It was all my fault, okay?" Sebastian shrugged and followed her. Whitney
As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell
Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
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
