"Okay. Remember to take care of yourself there. Cherridom might not be huge, but it's different from Dracodom. The people there have always been hostile to us, which is why you will have to be extra careful."Chelsea felt a little lost, but all she could do was just remind Severin.She was like a friend to him, so he nodded immediately and reassured her. "I will. Don't worry."Severin then turned to Richard. "When I'm done, I'll probably come here first so they can reunite with their family. Once you and the mayor divide the Mount Blade Gang's assets, please leave a few villas empty for us so we can all have a place to stay.""Don't worry, Mister Severin. We'll have them ready before you return." Richard nodded with a smile.After making the arrangements, Severin went upstairs to rest."I can't believe he's leaving so soon!" Richard lamented. He then said to Chelsea, "Why didn't you propose the idea of joining him over on his journey to Cherridom? At least he'll have a companion
"Hey, man. Don't you think you're being too hard on her?" Severin could not stand the man's aggressive behavior and stepped forward to help. From her appearance, she did look like someone from Dracodom. It was therefore even more heartbreaking when he saw what the man did to her."And who the hell are you? Why'd you even speak up to help a beggar?" The man grinned sarcastically. "Could she be your daughter? Hahah! That's the only logical explanation as to why you're helping her!"Severin's expression turned sour. He glared at the man while saying, "She's only begging for money because she's hungry. You don't have to give her the money if you don't want to. There's no need for you to kick her."The little girl got up and approached Severin. She said to him, "Thank you, sir. But please don't offend them. They're locals. We can't afford to mess with them.""Did you hear that, kid? Even a beggar knows not to offend me. Where'd you get the guts to talk to me like that, huh?" The man sai
After a while, several dishes were served on the table.The girl went to the kitchen to wash her hands and salivated as she looked at the chicken thighs in front of her. "Are these… for me?"Severin smiled and said, "Of course! You're hungry, right? Hurry up and eat! They're all for you!" The little girl immediately started to wolf the food down. While eating, she took out a small plastic bag and placed a chicken thigh in it.Severin was somewhat stunned when he saw that. "Why are you putting that into a plastic bag? If you want to keep them for later, I'll give you some extra money so you come back and buy more."The little girl smiled and said, "My big brother hasn't eaten yet, so I wanted to bring some back for him..."Severin felt heart-wrenched as he asked, "Where are your parents?" The girl said, "My parents died when I was still a small girl. It's just me and my brother now. We rely on each other because our life depends on it. My brother isn't feeling well today, so he
With a wave of his palm, Severin took out a small healing pill and handed it to Gerald. "Your condition is pretty bad. If my judgment is right, then two of your ribs might already be broken, and there is still some blood left in your body. You'll live for two days at most if you don't see a doctor anytime soon."Severin paused and added again, "But you're lucky that your sister ran into me. Here, take this pill. Your body will start recovering a few minutes after eating it, and you should be able to make a full recovery after an hour.""I… I can't possibly accept something so precious." Gerald hesitated, but he took the pill anyway. He got a little emotional as he said, "But I… I have nothing to offer you in return."Severin smiled and said, "Fate brought me to you. Besides, we're both from Dracodom. I'm obliged to help my fellow countryman."Gerald swallowed the pill while enduring the pain. Severin chatted with them for a while after Gerald ate the pill. As it turned out, Gerald
Gerald nodded. "I wanted to bring Gilly back to Dracodom… back to our hometown… but where will we get the money for fight tickets when we don't even have any money for food? If we get the money to buy a plane ticket, I'll bring Gilly back to Dracodom in a heartbeat. Being in our own country is so much better than being bullied and looked upon with disdain."Severin nodded and said to him, "Yeah. The food's going to get cold though, so you should start eating soon."Gerald had a glimmer of hope in his eyes as he ate. It was a stark contrast to his previous look.Once he was done with his meal, he cleaned everything and said to Severin. "Are you sure you want to go there?"Severin nodded. "Yes. You can just bring me there and show me where to go. You don't have to go in if you're not afraid.""We're not afraid. We won't be afraid of anything as long as we bear witness to the Murrays' deaths!" Gilly stood up, clenched her fists, and said firmly, much to Severin's surprise.Gerald th
More and more people began to rush out. Just when there were about seventy or eighty people in front of him, Severin swung his sword without hesitation."Rose-Petal Rain!" Rose petals appeared out of nowhere and flew forward. Explosions soon ensued, and no attack could bear the might of Severin's rose petals. Their attacks were destroyed within seconds, and their bodies began to explode into pieces after the petals attached to them.Gerald and Gilly looked on in stupefaction behind Severin. They never would have dreamed that the people they believed to be so powerful would end up being so vulnerable in Severin's hands. He killed them without so much as lifting a finger."Die, kid!" the head of the Murrays' rushed out with a few strong men. When he saw the bodies of his dead family members, he became so angry that the veins in his forehead bulged out. At that moment, he attempted to unleash his techniques on Severin, but he and his men were powerless before Severin and ended up dead
Gerald was overjoyed when he heard that. Severin had given him and his sister a new lease in life. Without Severin's help, he would have been dead under the bridge because he did not have the money to see a doctor. If that happened, he could not even begin to imagine what would happen to her in a foreign land. He was more than happy to have been able to help Severin."Haha, sure!" Severin laughed and poured himself a glass of red wine. "Let's have a toast!"Gerald nodded. He raised his glass of fruit juice and clinked glasses with Severin.After dinner, Severin followed Gerald to a villa. There were not a lot of villas in the area, and the area was located in a relatively secluded part of the city. Severin arrived just in time to hear a woman's loud voice."I won't marry him! I don't care what you say! I'll never marry that old bag!" came a roar from within the villa. The woman who yelled that was about to leave the villa."Stop her! Bring her to her room and lock her in there!" A
"You're Yidel?" Severin looked at him before glancing at the raging woman. He could not help but ask, "And what's the situation with her?""Well, the son of the Dark Night Gang's leader likes her. he wants me to marry her off to him. There's nothing I can do except to say yes, or else the entire Canis Hall will be destroyed." Yidel looked at his daughter and sighed. "There is no other way. I don't want to sacrifice my daughter either, but Canis Hall now has eight hundred members. It took me a lot of effort to come to this, and I can't afford to let that small bit of progress go to waste, right?""But Dad..." Alesha frowned unhappily."Sigh, didn't that old wacko say that he'd come to look for us and protect us? I haven't seen him show up even once! He's probably just lying to us!" one of the older members of Canis Hall lamented somewhat resentfully.However, Yidel remained firm. "I trust in our benefactor. He wouldn't lie to us. Perhaps he doesn't know that we've fled to Cherridom
