Chapter 96

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Hans Wagner, commonly known as Hades Hans, was a notorious local kingpin in Steinberg, overseeing a few hundred underlings.

Ruthless and vindictive, he had established numerous businesses, primarily focused on lending and entertainment venues, engaging in various shady dealings.

Despite recent efforts by Hans to change his image and engage in philanthropy, transforming into a successful businessman with several accolades, his brutal reputation persisted in Steinberg.

He was the kind of person whose name alone would send shivers down one's spine.

Offending him meant crossing paths with Hades himself!

"Kid, why aren't you talking? Scared? If you're scared, then kneel!" William taunted, his eyes filled with malice.

Fergus immediately stepped forward, shouting, "Mr. Saunders, this has nothing to do with me. I've been implicated, and I kindly ask for your leniency.

Fergus was scared. Crossing paths with Hans meant he would be in deep trouble.

William gave Fergus a disdainful look an

    With his eyes locked on Sebastian, William warned, "Weren't you all high and mighty just now? You have a death wish, don't you? Come to the deck then!"With that said, he turned to leave the cabin and headed to the deck. Whitney almost passed out upon hearing what he said. Wagner … It was THE Hans Wagner of Steinberg he was talking about! Even Mabel shivered in fear, her face already as pale as a sheet. Hans was ruthless. They were doomed for sure! No thanks to Sebastian, that idiot! "Ms. Sutton, what do we do? Mr. Wagner's heading here!" Mabel shouted as she stomped her feet in frustration, her heart overwhelmed with anxiety. Whitney was afraid of Hans too. Sweat dotted her forehead, and her lips lost their color. Now, even her hands were cold, and her legs trembled. The path to the deck was right in front of her, but it seemed especially gloomy and foreboding now. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed Mable's hand and muttered, "Don't be afraid. This land has its laws. Mr

    There was an uproar. The people on the deck all turned to look in fear at the group of men standing at the port.As the cruise ship slowly came to a halt, they finally got to see clearly what was happening at the port. The group of men who stood in a row looked strong and formidable. "They're Mr. Wagner's men …" "Oh my! Something huge's gonna happen tonight. This is the first time I'm seeing Mr. Wagner appear himself to settle things.""The poor fellows are so unlucky! They're gonna be tossed into the lake and drowned."The crowd couldn't stop talking about it. At the port, Hans got out of the Maybach at the very front of the line of cars. He had a cigar in his mouth and a thick golden chain around his neck. Even his face looked deadly, like a ferocious beast. "Mr. Wagner, the ship's docking," one of his men politely reminded him. Hans nodded and looked at the ship that was slowly coming their way. When it finally stopped completely, more than ten of his men in black suits

    Sebastian glanced at Hans and snickered. "It seems like you've recovered well. You gained weight and look way better now," he said. "You can even teach someone else a lesson, I see." "It's all thanks to you!" Hans said with an awkward smile. "You gave me a second chance at life!" Everyone on the deck was stunned at this turn of events.What just happened? Why was Hans so polite toward the young man in front of him? Besides, Hans kept calling him "Dr. Ballard". Even William himself was baffled. He'd never seen Hans treat someone else with so much reverence. This time, he was doomed for sure! Just then, Hans turned to glare at him."You son of a bitch! What did you do to offend Dr. Ballard?" "N-No! I didn't!" William begged. "It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Wagner!" In his fear, he stumbled backward as Hans approached him and said, "A misunderstanding, you say?"Hans kicked William in the stomach, sending William crashing to the ground once more. He kicked him a few m

    "That's right! Don't just stand there as if nothing happened! You would've died if it weren't for Mr. Cobb!" Mabel said, going along with the flow. She was annoyed at him. He didn't even thank Fergus for saving his life. What a rude idiot! Chuckling, Fergus said, "It's fine. There will always be people who aren't grateful to others." Despite their words, Sebastian didn't feel like explaining himself. But then, his face darkened when he realized that Fergus had seized the chance to take credit for something that was not his doing. "You want me to thank him? Should I thank him for being a shameless fool then?" Sebastian laughed.His piercing eyes were locked on Fergus as he said coolly, "Mr. Cobb, I'm sure you know full well why Mr. Wagner left. Do you think you deserve my gratitude?""Sebastian!" Whitney snapped. She was furious at Sebastian for being so ungrateful toward his savior. "How could you say that?" she asked. "I know you don't like Fergus, but you wouldn't be aliv

    Whitney, Fergus, and Mabel stood at the entrance of Luna's Waterfront."Whitney, the people who are having dinner here are the mentors and leaders of the Steinberg Medical Conference district competition," Fergus said to Whitney.He didn't exactly get this piece of news easily from his friend. It was top secret!"For real?" Whitney exclaimed.Fergus nodded. "Yeah. My friend is one of the person-in-charge of the Steinberg Medical Conference district competition next week. He told me about it."Moreover, the upcoming downtown selection competition next week is meticulously crafted by the original team of the Crestborne Harmony Quest program. "The event will be broadcast live, promising to make waves in Steinberg! I heard them mention that if the live broadcast of the competition is well-received, subsequent matches will be nationally televised. "According to them, the goal is to transform this year's medical conference into a program akin to Crestborne Harmony Quest, generating

    After saying that, she ignored Whitney's visibly displeased expression and took Sebastian's arm. Surrounded by admiring gazes, they walked into Luna's Waterfront as if she were the center of the universe.Sebastian frowned a little when he passed by Whitney and the others, but eventually, he chose to remain silent.Whitney, Fergus, and Mabel were stunned. Their eyes widened as they stared at them walking in.They were really astonished."Damn! What's going on? Sebastian just went in like that?" Mabel exclaimed, utterly perplexed. Or rather, she was quite envious. Why Sebastian? How could such a useless and pathetic guy stroll into Luna's Waterfront? Why did several mentors and leaders personally come out to greet them?Fergus also furrowed his brow, cursing, "Damn! How arrogant! That idiot is just putting on airs because he's got himself a sugar mommy!"Fergus was furious. More than that, he felt the same envy as Mabel! It all seemed like a joke to him. Sebastian, the loser,

    Rosalie shook her head. "They probably don't understand much. It's mainly for publicity. They'd probably just attend a few events. "You know, promoting traditional medicine is quite challenging nowadays. This is just one of the strategies we thought of—leveraging the natural popularity of celebrities to promote traditional medicine. "Those singing competitions on variety shows now often invite non-professional celebrities as judges to provide sharp critiques, grab attention, and create discussions."Sebastian nodded, slightly furrowing his brow but not saying much. Celebrities on the scene were just for show, after all. Sebastian didn't expect them to provide any insightful professional insights. As long as they didn't make random comments, he was fine."By the way, aren't you curious about the celebrities who will be joining?" Rosalie asked with a playful smile.Sebastian shook his head. "I'm not interested in the entertainment industry.""Boring!" Rosalie teased. "Let me

    As soon as those words left Sebastian's mouth, the entire room fell silent. The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.Zeke's face instantly turned red, his anger flaring. He slammed the table and shouted, "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! Kidney deficiency?"Zeke resembled an enraged cat with its fur standing on end as he vehemently berated Sebastian. One could say a man lacked money, influence, or capability, but one absolutely shouldn't accuse a man of having kidney deficiency, especially not in front of others. And most certainly not in front of those with status and reputation. This was a man's bottom line, his ego and dignity.It was simply unacceptable. Moreover, Rosalie was still present, making it especially embarrassing for Zeke.However, Sebastian just smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fisher, though kidney deficiency is an illness, it's not terrifying. With active cooperation in treatment, it can be cured.""Nonsense!" Zeke was furious, and he said in a cold tone, "Young m

    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
