The next morning, Severin set off for Wymount City alone because he felt that it would be too troublesome to bring too many people with him.He soon arrived at Wymount Airport and disembarked from the plane with a smile.Wymount City was considered to be a relatively prosperous city in the West County, and although it was not as prosperous as South Link City, they had prospered at about the same level as each other."Ugh! Aren't the bodyguards supposed to be picking me up right about now? Why aren't they here yet?" A woman complained after looking all around her. She was tall, fashionably dressed, and wore shades.At that moment, a black Audi parked beside her, and a few men in suits came down to greet her. "We're here to pick you up, Miss Chelsea. Hop on in.""Are you supposed to be my family's bodyguards? Why haven't I seen any of you before? I thought Yancy was the one who was going to pick me up?" there was a bit of suspicion in Chelsea's expression because she had never seen an
"Save me, handsome. Please! I'll give you a hundred and fifty thousand! If that's not enough, I'll give you five times more than that!"Chelsea felt as if she had seen a glimmer of hope when she saw Severin coming to stop the men."Hehe, you think I can't go up against you? Why don't you try me, then?" Severin could not be bothered to waste his breath with the man and walked over slowly."I didn't think there'd still be people who would risk their lives for money!" The man gritted his teeth, walked toward Severin in two big strides, and said to the three bodyguards behind him. "Easy, boys. We still have time to break this fool's legs and leave with the woman!""What! Break some legs, you say?" Severin was taken aback for a moment, but he soon smiled and said, "That's a pretty good suggestion."Severin then rushed over in a flash."What the hell?!" The man had a decent attainment, and he had already reached the attainment of a level eight profound master despite being just a bodyg
The way Chelsea saw it, Severin was only willing to help her because of the money. However, Severin smiled subtly and said, "I don't want your money, Miss. I just hope you'll pay more attention to your safety. I didn't help you simply for the sake of money.""You weren't doing it for the money?" Chelsea looked at Severin in surprise. Seven-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars was no small amount, and she did not expect that Severin would refuse it outright."If I was really in it for the money, I wouldn't have bothered to save you at all. I don't need that kind of money!" Severin chuckled.Chelsea's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, 'Perhaps he was doing it to win my favor instead? Perhaps the bodyguards who kidnapped me were in on the act with him ad they deliberately staged a scene so that I would owe him a favor?'It was normal for Chelsea to think that way because she of her high status as in Wymount City. The number of rich young men who tried to win her heart co
When Severin heard that, he merely smiled and said, "It's pretty simple when you think about it. He probably knows that the people who ordered him to kidnap you would kill him if he reveals everything to you, so he's bound to die either way.""By the way," Chelsea said curiously. "If you don't have a place to stay, then does that mean you're not from around here?""Yes. I'm here in search of a certain faction. There are certain matters that I wish to talk to them about." Upon remembering his purpose there, Severin decided to ask Chelsea, "By the way, Miss Chelsea, I wonder if you've heard of an organization called Canis Hall? It'd save me a lot of trouble if you know who they are."Chelsea thought over the name for a while and finally shook her head. "I'm sorry, Severin. That name doesn't ring a bell. Although my family is quite well-off, we're only considered a third-tier family here in Wymount City. I know some families quite well, and that includes the mayor, but I don't know the
"Oh!" Richard was stunned for a moment. He found Severin's request a little strange. Rather than accepting several hundred thousand, Severin's request was to stay at his place for a few days. He looked Severin from head to toe and finally nodded in agreement. "No problem!""I came here to find an organization called Canis Hall," Severin said. "I can leave if you have any information about them or know where to find them. I myself am not too sure how long I will stay in Wymount City!"Severin smiled wryly and asked Richard again, "Have you heard of them? Or better yet, do you know them?""Canis… Hall?" Richard seemed a little confused when he heard that. "Do you spell it like anus… but with a C?"Severin's expression became a little stiff and he finally explain to them. "Replace the 'U' with an 'I'. C-A-N-I-S. The Latin word for dog."The two elders behind him could not hold their laughter back anymore and began cackling like madmen."Control yourselves!" Although Richard wanted t
Severin's words made the old man fume in anger. He looked at Severin and said, "That's easy for you to say. What if something happens to her? Can you afford to bear the consequences?"Severin answered with a dry smile, "Firstly, she would have been dead already if they wanted to kill her. I offered to help only when I heard her calling for help. If their intention had been to bring Miss Chelsea away, then they would almost certainly refrain from killing her right away!"Following a pause, Severin continued, "Secondly, if I can't protect her, then I'm afraid no one in your family will be able to protect her.""Hehe, that's a rather bold remark from you!" the other elder said with a chuckle. "This young man here must be a strong individual then!"Richard thought for a moment before smiling at Severin. "Our two elders have very high attainment. If you can defeat one of them with ease, then I'll entrust my daughter to your protection."Severin was stunned for a moment. "I'll leave it
Richard and the second elder were standing behind the grand-elder, and they were both shocked when they heard that remark. It had never crossed their minds that Severin would contain such strength at a young age."The villa that my daughter is staying at has several empty rooms, so you might as well just stay in the same villa as her. Rest assured, we'll send our men to help you find out any information about Canis Hall. My daughter will probably be out shopping in the next couple of days, so I'll leave her safety in your hands. I trust that she will be safe as long as you're beside her!" Richard said after snapping out of his initial shock."Dad..." Chelsea was speechless, and she bit her red lips subconsciously while rolling her eyes at her father. She had gotten used to living alone in her villa for so many years, and she was not entirely comfortable with sharing her place, especially not with a man whom she just met! In her opinion, her father's thought process was simply incompr
Severin did not expect Chelsea to be so confident of her beauty, so he looked her up and down.Chelsea started to panic when she saw him checking her out. She took two steps back fearfully. "Why… why are you looking at me like that?"Severin smiled. "I was just trying to figure out why you're so confident about your own looks when you're not even half as beautiful as my two women.""Why you!" Chelsea nearly passed out from anger. She had always been very confident about her looks since many rich guys tried to woo her before. 'He's probably negging me to get my attention.'She smiled suddenly. "As if I'll ever believe you. In any case, you better not get any funny ideas about coming into my room tonight. If you do, I'll make sure to off myself rather so that you won't be able to have your way with me.""Oh, don't you worry. I have no interest in you whatsoever," said Severin before going upstairs.Chelsea nearly passed out from anger again. "D*mmit!"She followed him up while me
