Sebastian's expression darkened. He said a few words to Rosalie, left the convenience store at once, and headed straight for Westville's Frost Lake.He could not make Whitney suffer on his account. That would cross the line for Sebastian. Westville's Frost Lake was located in a forest, and it was famous for how deep it was. The lake was several hundred feet deep, and its waters were as cold as ice. That was why it was called Frost Lake.A few years ago, a tour group had come to dive and bathe in the lake. Over ten people had died as a result, so the lake had been sealed off.There was still yellow police tape around its perimeter.It had once been a renowned tourist attraction, but it had now fallen into disrepair.Beside Frost Lake, there was a church. People had once come to worship there, but it had been abandoned because of the lake.Whitney was in the dilapidated church, and both her hands and feet had been bound. She huddled in a corner, her face streaked with tears. Sh
Muriel sat at the door to the dilapidated church, waiting quietly.Inside the church, Whitney looked up through the broken roof at the pale moon outside. Her eyes were full of tears.Would Sebastian come for her?She wasn't sure. He was probably still in Janover, fighting for Rosalie.At that thought, the tears in Whitney's eyes trickled down her cheeks.She was full of regret, and she hated herself. She had been the one who had pushed Sebastian away step by step.She was the one who had disappointed him time and time again.However, Whitney knew very well that she loved Sebastian.Now, the misunderstanding between her and Sebastian had grown deeper and deeper.The man who had treasured her so much and who had had eyes for no one else except her was now fighting for another woman.Whitney couldn't help bursting into tears. She felt very wronged."Sebastian, didn't you once say that you would only love me for the rest of your life? Why did you leave me and fall in love wi
Muriel laughed ferociously and said, "You can talk when you've survived, young man!" The soil bubbled and heaved.Corpse puppets popped up from the ground. They were completely decayed and smelled putrid.Sebastian frowned and looked grim as he looked around at the corpse puppets around him.At Muriel's command, the corpse puppets lunged fiercely at Sebastian.He shook his head, his expression turning cold. There was a terrifying energy around him.Gold bolts of spiritual energy flew toward Sebastian from all directions. As he moved his hands, the gold spiritual energy seemed to be guided by him, and they coalesced into gold charms in mid-air. "Shield against evil!" Sebastian yelled. He raised a hand and pressed down in the air!At once, the yellow charms made of gold spiritual energy shone brightly with a golden glow. They shot toward the corpse puppets.With a series of thumps, every yellow charm attached itself to a corpse puppet, and it sounded like metal crashing agai
Immediately, the trees around them snapped in half!The corpse puppets did not have time to react. Their bodies were cut in half, too, and they fell to the ground as a cloud of dust.When the sword's energy had dissipated, Sebastian remained standing there, holding the golden sword of air. He walked toward Muriel step by step.Muriel was dazed with fear. She was trembling all over as she fell to her knees, staring at Sebastian as if he was some kind of god. She begged for mercy. "Dear sir, please spare my life, I'll…"There was a hissing sound. Sebastian had raised his hand and wielded the sword, and Muriel's head rolled onto the ground! Her eyes remained wide open in death.Sebastian tamped down his energy and exhaled. He stepped over Muriel's corpse and ran into the rundown church, where he saw Whitney with her hands and feet tied up."Whitney," Sebastian called out. He ran over, squatted down, and began to loosen the ties around her hands and feet.After he had undone the kno
Robert laughed weakly and said, "I'm alright. Don't worry."Sebastian frowned as he walked toward him. He looked at Robert's injuries, and his expression turned grim."How could you say that you're alright? All your vital points are damaged. You'll die within three days," he said coldly. Robert just laughed.Janet's eyes widened, and she looked very anxious. Sebastian sat down and gestured for Robert to stick his hand out. "Let me examine you."He took Robert's pulse and discovered that there were several streams of energy ricocheting around his body.If it weren't for the fact that he had a strong foundation of inner strength, he would probably already be dead.Sebastian looked very serious and asked, "How many people did you fight against?""Not that many. Maybe seven or eight?" Robert answered casually.Sebastian's expression changed, and his brow furrowed. He said coldly, "Seven or eight?"Had Robert gone mad? Why would he fight against seven or eight people at the sam
Janet said, "I'm sure."She repeated Sebastian's explanation to Mike. "The Dreamfyre is a type of flower. It has an unusually large number of petals that have seven different colors, like a rainbow."The Energy Dew is the dew collected from 49 different types of medicinal herbs at the break of dawn, when the sun rises. It must be the drop of dew at the highest point, and it must not be contaminated with any dust." Janet glanced at Sebastian when she finished.On the other end of the phone, Mike's brow was tightly knitted. "The Energy Dew is easily attained. I'll buy ten herb gardens and send people to keep watch tomorrow morning. We should be able to get it by then."He added, "However, I really haven't heard of Dreamfyres before. Why don't you give the phone to Dr. Ballard? I'll talk to him."Janet assented and handed the phone to Sebastian, saying, "My lord, my father would like to speak to you."Sebastian took the phone. Mike sounded very apologetic as he said, "Dr. Ballard,
The next day, Sebastian and Janet had just stepped out the door to go to the airport when Sebastian received a call from Rosalie."Sebastian, tonight is the second round of the Good Crestborne Doctors selective trials. How are your preparations going?" she asked, laughing.Sebastian frowned and asked, "Is tonight the second round of the competition?""Yes, it is. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Rosalie asked.Sebastian's expression changed, and he said, "Alright. I'll be busy later, and I'm going on a trip to Drakestone. I'll try my best to get back in time. If I can't, then consider it as me forfeiting.""Forfeiting? Sebastian, you worked so hard to get into the second round. How can you just forfeit so lightly? What are you going to Drakestone for? Should I find someone else to go in your stead?" Rosalie asked, sounding anxious on Sebastian's behalf."I've got some things to settle there. No one can go in my place," Sebastian answered.He continued, "Alright, that's enough.
After Whitney left the airport and went to the parking lot, she saw Theresa. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap top, tiny black shorts, and sunglasses while leaning against the car door.When she saw Whitney walking over to her with reddened eyes, she frowned and asked, "Are you crying? Did that asshole Sebastian upset you?""No." Whitney shook her head and got into the car. In the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "Whit, I don't understand. Wouldn't it be a good thing if Sebastian forfeited? It would be beneficial for both you and Frostwave Corporation. Why are you against it?" Whitney exhaled and said, "Theresa, you don't understand. In the past, I thought of him as a useless burden. However, after we got divorced, I realized that Sebastian wasn't as useless as we thought." "And… I recently realized that I love him and that I've always loved him," she finished and suddenly burst into tears. Theresa frowned. She looked resigned as she pulled out a tissue and handed it to Whitn
