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
Sally was furious at the sight of Sebastian's face. She thought Sebastian was a good-for-nothing, lazy man.She had already hated Sebastian back then, so she always urged Whitney to divorce him."I heard that you and Whitney have divorced. That's good news," Sally said. Then, she added, "It's great that you know your place. But you don't need to treat me. What can a good-for-nothing do?"Sally didn't understand why Whitney would ask Sebastian to treat her.Whitney quickly explained, "Aunt Sally, Sebastian is a medical practitioner. Let him help you."Shannon rushed up and shouted before allowing Sally to speak. "No! Does he even know anything? What if he makes it worse for my mother?"Shannon looked down on Sebastian. Plus, the accident caused her to stay locked up for two days, so she hated Sebastian even more.She thought, "Let him treat Mom? Keep dreaming!"Crystal also rolled her eyes at Whitney. "Winnie, what are you doing? I thought you hired an expert or something. Why w
Shannon snorted by the side. "Mom, don't ask like that. He clearly doesn't know shit. So many experts from the hospitals can't even identify your illness, let alone him.""I think the same." Dante laughed. "Sebastian, if you can't identify anything, just let me know. Don't waste any more time here. I'll ask another doctor to come."Whitney looked at Sebastian nervously. "Did you identify anything? What's Aunt Sally's illness?"Sebastian frowned and exhaled. "She is indeed sick.""Are you for real now? No shit, Sherlock!" Dante shouted.Sally glared at Sebastian. "Spit it out!"Sebastian chuckled. "You're quite ill, it seems."His words made everyone frown. Did he really find out something?"What is it? Just say it!" Shannon complained.Sebastian gave Shannon a sideway glance and said, "You're gonna lose your mother soon."Huh? What did he mean?Shannon was stunned, and she stared at him in shock. "What do you mean?"Whitney quickly understood, and her face changed.Sebasti
"Leave! Get out of here!" Sally was infuriated and kicked Sebastian out.Sebastian shrugged while Whitney pulled him away. She said apologetically to him, "Sorry, you know how she is.""I do." Sebastian smiled faintly. He knew Sally's character well—she was a shrew and malicious. "But you said that Aunt Sally won't be able to survive the night. Is it real?" Whitney asked in concern. "Don't scare them."Sebastian chuckled and asked, "Do you think I am joking?""You're serious? Aunt Sally is really going to die?" Whitney instantly panicked.Sebastian nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, yes.""What should we do?" Whitney was anxious.Sebastian shrugged. "Fate has its way of affecting us. Her survival depends on whether she wants to ask for my help."Without waiting for her to speak, Sebastian added, "I'm leaving. I have something to do."He soon returned to the convenience store, where he saw Rosalie.Rosalie looked extra cute that day. She didn't put on her usual career-woman outfi
Unexpectedly, he had returned.The Alpha Strike Force was the most special unit in Dramon, specifically responsible for the most challenging tasks.Klaus Hindon smiled with his eyes full of affection for Rosalie. "My five years of training are over. This time, I came back just for you.""Captain Hindon is the captain of Alpha Strike Force Team 13. He could've taken a position at the Janover division, but when he heard that you're in Steinberg, he requested a transfer here. Ms. Griffin, the Captain is truly sincere about you."The speaker was a young man behind Klaus, looking to be about 25. As he spoke, his eyes were full of pride and arrogance. He was Klaus' deputy, Conrad Beck, and also his follower.Conrad continued with a superior tone, "Ms. Griffin, Captain Hindon often talks about you. During training, he even got into a fight with the drill instructor over your photo!"Besides, over the years, many women pursued him, but he turned them all down. He has made it clear that y
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
