Perhaps Hans and Wagner would beat him up.Andon snickered and looked up at the two of them. To him, Eugene and Hans were the ones in charge. He had no idea why they were so respectful toward Sebastian yet.When he saw Sebastian's young age and the fact that he was a nobody in Steinberg, he thought it would be impossible for Hans and Eugene to work for him."Mr. Targery, Mr. Wagner, it seems this young man here is a little reckless. What do you think?" To be frank, Andon's influence was only in Steinberg; Eugene's was on a whole new level compared to him.However, if he allowed Logan to be punished today, would anyone still obey him in the future? Hence, he had to protect Logan no matter what."What Mr. Ballard wants is what he'll get," Eugene and Hans replied in unison.Andon's face stiffened, and he sat up straight. He replied in a low voice, "It seems the two of you are not considering this situation for my sake at all. Logan is my man. Whoever touches him is challenging me!
Andon was on par with Hans in Steinberg. However, they were just small-time thugs with no connection to martial arts at all! Mike, on the other hand, was different. He was the owner of the largest martial arts academy in Sunway and possessed terrifying strength himself, far beyond these small-time thugs.Even Eugene had to consider Mike's status sometimes!When faced with stronger forces, Andon had no choice but to yield to Sebastian.However, it wasn't over yet. As the sound of police sirens outside the door rang out, a large number of officers rushed out of their cars and arrested all of Andon's men outside.The sound of leather shoes approached as Vince stepped in."Ah, Ms. Griffin, Mr. Ballard, nice to see you! It's quite a commotion today."Sebastian and Rosalie both stood up, approached Vince, and shook hands with him."Mr. Weist, today's matter was trivial, but someone deliberately caused trouble for me, even publicly embarrassing Ms. Griffin. We just had to take action
Vince was stunned, and he looked at Sebastian in surprise.The atmosphere became extremely awkward.Rosalie tugged at Sebastian's clothes lightly and said, "Sebastian, I think that's enough. We might need Mr. Weist's help in the future."Sebastian patted Rosalie's hand lightly, signaling her not to worry."Mr. Weist, I believe you still remember the incident last time, don't you?" Sebastian asked."Yes." Vince nodded and continued, "Mr. Ballard, there is no concrete evidence last time, or else Fergus would not have been able to roam freely."Sebastian scoffed as he walked toward the pale-faced waitress. He pointed at her and said, "Mr. Weist, it is precisely because I always choose to resolve things peacefully that even her, a mere waitress, has the guts to bully Ms. Griffin. And also, this guy here."Sebastian then grabbed the manager's collar and lifted him up."Mercy, please!" The manager's mind went blank, and he started to beg for mercy."Hmph!" Sebastian scoffed and toss
"Mr. Beckard, what's the matter?" Gandolf asked in concern when he saw Jace's livid face.Jace remained silent for a moment before answering, "Sebastian is not a simple guy."Then, he explained the whole situation to Gandolf."It seems he is indeed not one to be underestimated. No wonder Mr. Stephen ended up this way," Gandolf said.He continued, "But this doesn't mean there's nothing we can do. In my opinion, since Andon lost to him now, we can use him in the future."The best way to deal with underground thugs was to make them backstab each other.Jace's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "Then I'll have to thank Sebastian for giving me a free pawn. Come, find a way to contact Andon and ask him to see me!""Got it!" one of the guards responded before walking out of the room."Mr. Beckard, I have an idea to force Sebastian to his own end.""Oh?" Jace was immediately interested. "Gandolf, just tell me directly. I will do as you say." Gandolf then whispered his plans into
Andon sat on the couch and eyed Jace. "Mr. Beckard, why are you helping me?"Jace didn't try to hide anything and told Andon about Stephen's situation. However, he skipped parts that were not beneficial to the Beckard family."Sebastian really is audacious. How dare he cause trouble even in Janover?" Andon said aloud. Secretly, he wondered how the Beckard family's influence could possibly let Sebastian escape so easily."Yes, indeed. Unexpectedly, we didn't obtain favorable evidence. Otherwise, how could Sebastian roam free? But these things aren't important. What matters is our future cooperation." Jace's words dispelled Andon's inner doubts."Mr. Beckard, there are some things you may not know. Sebastian has quite a few connections. Even Sunway's most famous martial arts academy is working for him. I appreciate your consideration, but…"Andon smiled wryly and continued, "I'm afraid I might disappoint you. With my abilities, causing trouble for Sebastian is akin to seeking deat
"Ms. Sutton, bad news!" Whitney was preparing for the industry conference when Mabel suddenly rushed into the office."What's wrong?" Whitney's heart sank when she saw Mabel's pale face."The Goldcrow pill… killed someone!"What? Whitney was so shocked that her pen fell to the floor.How could this possibly happen?Moreover, Frostave Corporation had been selling Goldcrow pills modified by Theresa."What's going on?" Whitney asked and stood up, her voice trembling.Frostwave Corporation was a pharmaceutical company, and the Goldcrow pill was something the company had been working on with great efforts recently.Nothing bad could happen at this time!Once news of Goldcrow pill resulting in death was released to the public, Frostwave Corporation would be doomed.Additionally, the industry conference was going to take place in two days. For something to happen at this time was definitely a big blow to Frostwave Corporation.Mabel took a few sips of water to calm herself down
It was what confused Jonah the most. "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I believe that you definitely have the medical skills needed to save this patient. As long as he's safe, we are willing to pay ten million in consultation fees!" Whitney said in a low voice, clenching her fist. Ten million wasn't a small amount, but it was nothing compared to Frostwave Corporation's reputation!As long as they could save the reputation of the Goldcrow pill, Whitney wouldn't even hesitate to pay 20 million."Ms. Sutton, I may not be your best choice. Mr. Ballard's medical skills are at a level that I could never hope to reach. Why don't you ask him for help?" Jonah had his own considerations.After all, the prescription of the Goldcrow pill originally belonged to Sebastian, and he would know best about what kind of treatment would suit the patient.Although Sebastian and Whitney were divorced, it was clear that Sebastian still had friendly feelings toward her. Jonah also wanted to use th
