The Amazing Doctor Chapter 933
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 940
There was the sound of two crisp slaps, and the entire hall fell silent at once.Slapping the employees of the Holmes family was tantamount to slapping the Holmeses themselves!People like Colin always placed more importance on their pride than anything else. He wouldn't let it go easily.The manager, who had been behaving so obsequiously to Jayden, immediately ran up to the VIP area on the second floor. He told Colin about what had happened.There was a crash as the sound of a teacup smashing came from the second floor."I'm sorry, Ms. Lucox. This is an embarrassment. I'll go and settle a few things, and I'll be right back," Colin said, standing up."Please go ahead, Mr. Holmes," Cecilia said, smiling.With Cecilia's permission, Colin pushed the door open and went out, his expression extremely icy.Troops of security guards in black uniforms rushed into the hall, holding rubber truncheons. They surrounded the entire hall.Jayden finally realized that he had made a grave mista

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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2046
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2045
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2044
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2042
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2041
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
