"You got us this time, Mister Severin!" Terrence knew that he and his group would have long been dead if Severin wanted to kill them. Severin had gone easy on them and only injured the four men rather than killing them. He approached Severin, clutching his chest. "Thank you for showing mercy on us."Having spoken to Severin, he turned to look at Sami. "I'm really sorry, Sami, but you saw for yourself. This is no longer a question of whether or not I'm willing to help you. He's just too strong. The strength he has is beyond that of most ordinary people. Why don't you just give let this one slide."The great also stepped forward and tried to persuade her. "That's right, Miss Sami. It's just a bracelet. We can buy ten similar ones for you some other day!"Sami gritted her teeth. She had never felt so humiliated before. It was especially embarrassing for her when the bystanders looked at her and gossiped about her. She looked at Terrence angrily. "It's not the same thing! I want the one
Sami glared at Severin and said, "You're in no place to be lecturing me!"Severin merely snickered. "If your father isn't going to teach you a lesson when you behave badly, then someone else is bound to do so if you start stirring up trouble in public." He was not interested to talk with Sami any longer and so dragged Sheila right out of there."Garrh!" Sami roared angrily after Severin and Sheila. She stomped her feet and then said to the crowd, "What are you people looking at? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Everyone left one after another. Meanwhile, Terrence could only sigh after what happened. Fortunately, his physical condition improved tremendously after he took a healing pill.He walked up to Sami and said to her, "It's not that I don't want to help you, Sami, but you saw that he's stronger than all four of us teamed up. He is a level nine warrior king, after all, and he's probably the strongest of them all too. Sigh, I think we should just play dumb and give this o
"Okay, darling, don't cry. That's pretty bold of him to slap you. If he disrespects you, then he disrespects me too. I won't let you suffer!" Steward then thought for a moment and added, "I'll be busy these couple of days because I'll have to meet another commander, so maybe I can get one of the war gods to help you out."Sami immediately frowned and said, "But, Dad! Severin is super strong! He can easily defeat four level eight warrior kings by himself, and he's probably one of the strongest level nine warrior kings out there. That war god might not be powerful enough to go against him. It'd be more troublesome if he flees and the war god fails to kill him."After a brief pause, she said again, "He's very young, so we can assume he's a very talented person. It will be bad news for all of us if he flees, makes a breakthrough to warrior emperor, and tries to come back and take revenge. We need to end his life once and for all! Failure isn't an option!""You're underestimating a war g
Steward had already dialed Beryl's number as he sat back on the sofa."Mister Steward! What can I do for you?" Beryl was surprised to receive Steward's call. It was already very late, so Steward should not have called him unless it was something urgent.Steward smiled and said, "Beryl! You're still awake, I believe? Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I'm calling you because I need some help. I have too many things to handle these couple of days, so I'm hoping you can lend me a hand. Will you be okay with that?"As soon as Beryl heard that Steward needed her help, she immediately said, "What is it? Let me know and I'll do my best to help you out."Steward knew right away that Beryl would say yes. He could not help himself from feeling overjoyed and immediately said, "Well, a level nine warrior king slapped my daughter at Skycean City. My brother-in-law and his family wanted to help her, but they suffered the same fate too. I wonder if you have the time to go over and kill that p
Steward's expression soured. He was appalled when Beryl told him she had something urgent to handle, especially since she had already expressed her willingness to help him.Since Beryl had already declined to help, it would be unwise for him to be persistent and continue asking Beryl for help. All he could do was chuckle bitterly and say to her, "Hehe, don't worry about it then. You should focus on what you need to do."To his surprise, Beryl asked, "Was your daughter badly injured from the slap?"Steward did not Beryl to show so much concern for his daughter. He could not help but say to her, "No, it was just a slap in the face. That being said, it's still a huge disrespect to my daughter as well as myself. I can't just let this one slide. The worst part is that he slapped my daughter even after knowing that she is my daughter! This is a clear show of contempt against the institution of a commander!"Beryl smiled awkwardly. "Mister Steward, if all your daughter suffered was a slap
Warren immediately said, "What? That's pretty gutsy! That person must be digging their own grave!"A thought then occurred to Warren. He frowned and asked suspiciously, "This doesn't sound right, though. You should be able to deal with that person easily, considering how you have so many strong people under your command. Why would you have to ask for my help?""I'm calling you because there isn't any other way," Steward began his explanation. "Normal people aren't of any help because he's a level nine warrior king.""A level nine warrior king? Who could that person be? Level nine warrior kings are tricky to go up against. Few people are strong enough to deal with such individuals."In light of Steward's status as a commander, Warren felt that it would be good for Steward to owe him a favor after helping out. He immediately assured, "Don't worry, Mister Steward. I'll help your daughter out. I can't believe that guy would slap your adorable daughter. He crossed the line!"Warren's r
At that moment, Steward began to doubt his understanding of the world around him. Before he made the call, he was under the impression that the four war gods would jump at the chance of helping him. However, he had never expected them to refuse as soon as they found out that the person who offended him was Severin. Worse still, they even advised him to give it a rest. It might be justifiable if only one person made such a remark, but something was clearly not right when all four of them said the same thing."Is there something unique about this Severin person? He's not a warrior emperor, is he? I've never even heard of him until today. If he is a warrior emperor, then he should at least have made some name for himself. Even unaffiliated practitioners should have at least something to their name if they're that strong," Steward muttered to himself. He could not find a logical explanation even after thinking about it for several minutes.The thought of his daughter being slapped in the
Sami had a content smile after ending the call. The way she saw it, there was no way Severin could escape if she followed her father's instructions to a T.Severin and Sheila had already returned to the hotel by that time."Ugh, our luck is pretty bad today. We were supposed to enjoy a stroll and a meal. Who would've thought that we'd end up offending the province governor and a commander's daughter just because of a bracelet?" Sheila said lamentably. She lay on the bed as soon as she entered the room.Severin smiled. "Hehe, I guess it's just fate. Sami is a very stubborn girl though. She has this tendency to take whatever she likes. Her attitude is downright terrible. If she hadn't met us today, she'll suffer in someone else's hands sooner or later. There are bound to be low-profile powerhouses who aren't afraid of her family. People like that will kill her in a heartbeat. She'd be as good as dead if she met a disciple from a sect like the Stormy Moon Sect, for example."Sheila no
