Chapter 971

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Grandpa, I—"

"That's enough. Remember what I say. If you dare provoke the Lucoxes again, you can take full responsibility for it. Don't drag the family down with you!" Clayton cut off Jace's protests and hung up right after that.

The handsome man sitting opposite Jace watched as he sat there in a daze, still holding his phone up to his ear. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Beckard? It's not going to affect our plan, is it?"

Jace shook his head vigorously, as if he had just woken abruptly from a dream. He looked rather awkward as he laughed and said, "N-Nothing."

Although he was acting as if nothing was wrong, he was inwardly worried.

Belinda had probably found out about everything! Jace knew very well that Belinda had given Sebastian the two sacred weapons, but he had still laid a trap for Sebastian in secret.

It had been a reckless move!

Luckily, Belinda hadn't come straight to him. Otherwise, he might not even be able to leave Steinberg alive.

    "Since you've come back to your hometown in glory, you'll need a good car to keep up appearances," Jace said.He added, "I'll also move Brandon back to Steinberg. He'll be managing the affairs of Bashmore Group in Steinberg. He'll introduce a skilled expert to you to be your personal bodyguard. "If anything unexpected happens, he'll be able to protect you. He can deal with anything, from an average thug to a famous assassin." The expert Jace was referring to was Elton.Jace wasn't about to give up on Elton so easily. If he could let Elton stay with Ryder, he could protect the latter's safety while also being able to kill him at any time!As for Brandon, he had also once been classmates with Ryder and Jace. After returning to the country, he started working for Jace, and he was extremely loyal.Jace was planning to leave him in Steinberg to help Ryder, but also as a precaution.Jace and Ryder continued their discussions for a while until Jace finally clapped a few times.

    When Whitney heard what Crystal had said, she suddenly stopped and turned back to her, saying, "For my own good?"Don't you know that Sebastian secretly solved every challenge Frostwave Corporation has met over the past few years? Fergus, whom you think so highly of, was just coveting the Sutton family fortune!"Not only that, Mabel was bribed by Fergus to change the medicine that Sebastian left for me. The two of them almost killed me twice."Even the kidnapping that happened a few days ago was related to Fergus. If he hadn't given my phone number to the people who belong to the Killers, would I have been deceived into going to Westfore Street?"Is that how you do things for my good?" Whitney's words seemed to pierce Crystal's heart like a sharp sword. If she hadn't said it herself, Crystal would never have believed, even in her wildest dreams, that Fergus was such a despicable person.She would never have believed that Fergus and Mabel would almost kill Whitney.Whitney was t

    "It costs less than 30 million. It can't compare to my love for you, Grandma!" Ryder said, smiling.Everyone took in a sharp breath. If he could afford to give a gift that cost so much, Ryder must really have made his fortune overseas!"Good, good. My grandson is someone who really shows his gratitude and love. Come in and let me look at you properly!"With her left hand now adorned with the bracelet, Edna reached out to take Ryder's hand to walk inside. Ryder smiled and stopped her. "Grandma, wait. Let me introduce you to these esteemed guests!" He turned and pointed at the two young men behind him. "This is Brandon Cullen, the person in charge of the Steinberg branch for Bashmore Group. And this is Jayden Stallone, the heir of the Stallones. He's from the most prestigious family in Sunway."Brandon alone would be enough to astonish Edna. She would never have expected the heir of the Sunway Stallones to come to Sutton Manor. She stood there in shock, unsure of what to say.Th

    "Grandma, is this Whitney?" Ryder asked, looking Whitney up and down.Edna nodded and said to Whitney, "Whitney, come and meet your cousin. Greet him properly."Edna showed off the diamond bracelet on her wrist as she spoke, looking proud. For the past three years, Frostwave Corporation's business had improved under the management of Sebastian and Whitney, but they had never bought Edna such an expensive gift.It was clearly a rebuke on Edna's part, as well as a challenge for Whitney.Before Ryder's return to the Suttons, Whitney had been their only hope. Now, things were different. Ryder was a star in the business world, and his connections were far better than Whitney's. Edna was no longer bothering to hide the fact that she preferred to have a male in charge."My cousin?" Whitney said lightly as she looked at Ryder with cold, impassive eyes. She asked, "Grandma, why don't I remember having a cousin?"Edna's expression turned dark at once. She said reproachfully, "Whitney,

    As soon as Brandon and Jayden finished speaking, Whitney began looking grim.She had been cautious in developing the company over the past few years, and she was very careful with every single penny of the company's money that she spent. As a result, the rest of the Suttons hadn't benefited at all from the company, apart from a meager sum of dividends that they received each year.In the face of a collaborative agreement that was worth several hundred million, none of the Suttons would stand up for Whitney. In fact, they could even oppose her.Ryder had obviously come prepared, and the two contracts were enough to make the rest of the Suttons stand on his side, including Edna.It was just as Whitney expected. Before Edna could speak, a middle-aged man named Morty Sutton, who was from a branch of the Sutton family, stood up in a hurry. "Don't worry, gentlemen. Whitney may be the current CEO of Frostwave Corporation, but Madam Edna will make the final decision. Isn't that right?"

    "Mabel!" Whitney turned an icy gaze on her and said in a frosty voice, "You're no longer a staff of Frostwave Corporation. You have no right to speak here!"Mabel laughed coldly and walked over to Ryder. She said triumphantly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton! I'm Mr. Sutton's assistant now, and I represent him, not Frostwave Corporation!""Mabel, we've always treated you well. How could you turn on us at this time?" Crystal shrieked, looking agitated. "Treat me well?" Mabel tucked her silky hair behind her ear and crossed her arms as she scoffed, "How could you have the audacity to say that?"Your daughter was deceived by Fergus, but instead of reflecting on herself, she pushed all the responsibility to me and kicked me out of Frostwave Corporation. Is that what you call treating me well?"If it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Sutton acknowledged me, I would probably be out begging on the streets right now!" Mabel said. She recounted how Fergus had schemed against Whitney and how he had ta

    "Ryder, how dare you say that to Winnie? I'll beat you up!"Dante was furious to see Whitney barely hanging on to life. Even if he couldn't replace her as the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, he didn't want Ryder to take everything that Whitney had worked so hard for over the past three years.Dante shot up and raised his fist to punch Ryder in the face.Before Dante's fist could reach Ryder, a figure suddenly stood in front of him. There was a thump as he landed a punch on Dante's chest.Dante felt as if he had been run over by a speeding train. He flew backward helplessly and fell to the ground with a heavy thump.He struggled to get up, and he spat out blood.Crystal burst into tears when she saw that Whitney had been triggered into a flare-up while Dante had been beaten up so badly that he was coughing up blood.She went to help Dante up while staring hatefully at Edna. She said, "Edna, what crime has our family committed? Why are you doing this to us? If anything happens to my

    "What? Go to Sebastian?" Crystal stared blankly at Theresa. She couldn't understand what use there would be in going to that loser."Mrs. Sutton, at this point, I don't want to lie to you any longer. The truth is that Sebastian was the one who saved Whit the first time she had this flare-up. You were there at the time!""Now, only Sebastian can save her life. Are you just going to stand by and watch her wither without any help?" Theresa's words seemed to pierce deeply into Crystal's heart like a steel needle!As Theresa had said, Whitney's cold syndrome had flared up again after she got caught in the rain. Even the miracle doctors from Medcity had been unable to do anything. In the end, Sebastian had done acupuncture for Whitney and pulled her back from death's door. Although Crystal hated Sebastian because she felt that he ruined Whitney's bright future, the truth was that Sebastian was the only one who could make Whitney wake up in a short amount of time, just as Theresa had sai

    "It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

    "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of

    Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were

    Samson glanced at Sebastian. He took a deep breath and said to Arnaud, "Thank you for sparing me, Uncle Arnaud."He gave Sebastian a few final reminders before leaving the hall with Preston.Once they were gone, Arnaud pointed at Duo and said to Sebastian, "Tell him to leave too."Sebastian waved a hand at Duo."I'll wait for you at the entrance, my lord," Duo said. "If anything happens, I'll be here as soon as you call!"He gave Arnaud a cold look before striding out of the hall.Arnaud watched him leave and smiled approvingly. He beckoned to Sebastian. "Come, sit!"Sebastian didn't hesitate. He crossed the hall and sat in the chair opposite Arnaud."Do you know why I asked Andreas to bring you back here?" Arnaud asked impassively. Sebastian shook his head expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice, "It's probably because of the emerald token in my father's possession."Apart from using him and Whitney as leverage against Samson, he couldn't think of any other reason.Arnau

    "The Blessed Child! The Blessed Child has finally come to our family!"The black-robed old man who had been sitting beside Arnaud stood up, looking pleased. He couldn't hide his excitement as he turned to Arnaud and said, "Arnaud, our family is going to prosper!"Only Rexton and Milton looked extremely displeased. Braxton and Roland looked pained, as if they had lost something of great value. They were practically thumping their chests in regret!The Blessed Child had been foretold by one of the heads of the family centuries ago. No matter how far the Ballards declined, the prophecy said that after a few hundred years, a Blessed Child would appear—someone who could lead the family's revival!The only proof of the Blessed Child was for him to enter a master-servant oath with a Devora."Prosper? What a joke!" Hugo scoffed, holding Virtus firmly. "Weren't you all just clamoring about killing the two of them?"At Hugo's words, Arnaud's expression changed slightly. "When did I say tha

    "Hugo!"Arnaud, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide. He eyed Hugo with a conflicted expression as he asked, "Have you forgotten the agreement the Thornes made with us ten years ago?"Hugo smiled coldly and put one hand behind his back. "That was the agreement you made with the Thornes. I'm only following Ms. Thorne's orders to protect Samson and find the emerald token. If Samson dies in this battle, how am I supposed to explain that to her?"He pointed at Sebastian and added, "He's Ms. Thorne's flesh and blood. Your family has no right to punish him! If the Ballards insist on killing them today, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"When Hugo had finished, Sebastian finally realized that Hugo was from Isabella's family and that he had stayed at the Ballard Estate to protect Samson.It was clear that Isabella hadn't held a grudge toward Samson. In fact, she had sent an expert to stay behind to protect him in case anything happened.Arnaud's

    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
