"Young people just aren't as reliable. He probably just got lucky with 'The King's Son.'"Most people began criticizing Sebastian again. They thought that he had just gotten lucky when he got Zane to bid for "The King's Son", and that he hadn't done it based on his skill at all.However, a middle-aged man sitting behind Zane and Sebastian had heard everything that Sebastian had said to Zane.Ever since Sebastian had made Zane bid for 'The King's Son', the middle-aged man had been watching Sebastian very closely.He had even nudged his chair forward so that he could press his ear against the backs of their chairs. When the result of the auction item was revealed once more, the middle-aged man was flabbergasted.He was the only one who knew that Sebastian had recognized it for what it was and that he knew more than anyone there. The bronze horse was unlucky, which was why he had told Zane not to get it. As for Elton, whom Sebastian had mentioned, the man wasn't interested at all.

Sebastian had immediately realized that it wasn't an ordinary antique. It was an ancient, sacred object, just like the Sky Devouring Bottle. It was the Mirror of Rain!Sebastian had already gotten the Healer's Needles and the Sky Devouring Bottle. If he could get the Mirror of Rain, he would be able to make a huge breakthrough with his skills in the mystic arts and in the Way of Wisdom. He could also use the three sacred objects to bring people back from the dead.He had to get the ancient mirror."The starting price for this item is 500 thousand with each bid increasing by increments of 50 thousand dollars. Please begin the bidding!" As soon as Celeste finished, a man in the corner who was raising his sign for the first time suddenly said, "One million!"Everyone turned to look. To most people, the item onstage was the most worthless one out of all the auction items from that day. Even Joshua estimated that it would not be worth more than 800 thousand. It was clear that Seba

"Thank you, sir." Sebastian didn't tell Archibald the truth. Secret arts like this were recorded extensively in the legacies of the Sacred Medicine Society, but he would only make Archibald regret auctioning off the mirror if he were to tell him the secret.Sebastian said goodbye to him and sat back down, holding the Book of the Mirror of Rain and the ancient bronze mirror."Mr. Ballard, this book appears to also be an antique," Zane said, staring at the Book of the Mirror of Rain that Sebastian was holding.The book was made of paper as well, but it was different from modern paper. It looked like linen, and it was the kind of paper that had gone out of use after the Torren Era. The book had probably been made even before the Torren Era.Sebastian glanced at the yellowing pages and said to Zane, "This book has a history of at least 1000 years. However, the contents of this book will only lead those who read it astray."Archibald had given it to Sebastian, so he wasn't planning t

The manager almost fainted with fright. His knees buckled, and he leaned in close to Jayden and said, "Mr. Stallone, you can't ask about that woman and her background! Even our boss treats her as an esteemed guest. I'm just a worker here. I don't have the courage to ask about her."Jayden couldn't help frowning. He looked up at the VIP area on the second floor.He saw Cecilia sitting opposite a middle-aged man in his 40s. They were sipping tea. The middle-aged man was Colin Holmes, the owner of the auction hall.Jayden stuck out his tongue when he saw how polite Colin was being to Cecilia. He immediately gave up on his plan. People of that kind of status and influence were out of his league. If he wasn't careful, he could get the Stallones in trouble."Get lost!" Jayden waved a hand at the manager impatiently.The manager hastily stood up and left the auction.When he got to the door, he turned and glared at Jayden. He said icily, "What the heck! Damn, a coward like you should

Lucian hastily said, "Jayden, how could that be? If you can tell that it's a full emerald at once, would there be any need to auction it? They might as well give it a clear price tag. It would fetch more money!"Even a layman could tell that the geode's size and the green flecks on its surface would make it worth at least 1.5 billion!However, the starting price was only 80 million. Even if someone had a good feeling about it, they would only spend two or three hundred million at most. Was the seller an idiot?"Mr. Stallone, Mr. Wolsey is right. This geode can't be a full emerald. It's very likely to be defective!" Joshua agreed with everyone else. There might not be any emeralds inside it at all."Raise your sign! This is a full emerald, and it's an AAA quality emerald!" Sebastian said in Zane's ear.The moment he had seen the geode, Sebastian's eyes lit up. It would be possible to lay the spiritual energy circle at the sanatorium!Zane's eyes bulged. If the geode really was a

Jayden glared at Joshua. Had he been kicked by a donkey? Why had he jumped into such an obvious trap?"Hmph! I'm not going to waste time talking to you!" Joshua was red with anger."Do you want to raise the stakes of our bet, then?" Sebastian said in a challenging manner.Before Joshua could answer, the audience began clamoring, "Mr. Sadler, take the bet!""That's right! Are you afraid of a young man who's still wet behind the ears?""Show him what you've got!""What do you want to bet on? Tell me! I'll play along," Joshua said arrogantly. Sebastian smiled playfully and said, "Why don't we bet on something interesting? If it opens and it's a full emerald, you'll have to kneel at the center of the stage and grovel to all of us. If it isn't, then I'll do the same. What do you think?"Grovel?The crowd grinned. Whoever lost would have to grovel to them."Mr. Sadler, you're going to win for sure.""Mr. Sadler, I think you should give in to him. Let him grovel to us.""Mr. Sadl
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 938
Joshua walked onto the stage, trembling. He fell to his knees with a thump, and the moment his knees touched the floor, he felt utter despair.He could never show his face in the industry again. No one in Sartvale, at least, would think of him as an expert or treat him with respect any longer.Joshua's whole body shook as he groveled to the crowd, and sweat trickled down his forehead. Tears brimmed in his eyes. Once he had finished groveling, he fainted.Sebastian's gaze swept coldly over him. He knew that Joshua was fine and that he had only fainted from anger."Mr. Sadler might be a little tired. He needs to rest for a while. Let's invite our kind staff members to carry Mr. Sadler outside where it's a little cooler so that we can continue," Celeste said very politely, However, the reality was that she had called up a few security guards who dragged Joshua outside the hall as if he were a dead dog. They tossed him onto the cold cement floor and waited for him to wake up on his o

Jayden slumped down in his chair like a wilted flower. He shook his head, looking mournful. He could not have the geode opened. Even if Zane had tricked him, he couldn't humiliate himself in public."Mr. Stallone is very generous. This is such a defective product, but you were willing to spend over 500 million to buy it! Are you planning to use it as a paperweight?" Zane asked, laughing heartily."Oh my, a paperweight worth over 500 million! The Stallones are truly wealthy.""Mr. Stallone, why don't you open it up to see? Perhaps there'll be a grain of emerald in it, and you can make a ring.""If that's too hard, you might still be able to make a pair of studs."Jayden's temper flared at once at the mocking voices around him. He shot to his feet and yelled at Celeste, "Open it up for me right now!"As a white cloud of dust began spreading through the hall, the crowd could already guess what the result would be. There was no emerald in it at all!Jayden forcefully demanded them t

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

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
