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
Sheila smiled unconsciously when she saw his excitement. She quite enjoyed admiring Severin while he was busy doing alchemy. Handsome men tended to exude a certain charm when they concentrated their attention on the task at hand."Who would've known that you've made such a quick breakthrough to become a third-grade low-rank alchemist! Those three commanders will probably try to suck up to you if they ever find out about this," Sheila remarked. She did a stretch and stood up from the bed. She then went to the bathroom to wash up.Severin smiled and looked carefully at the pill that he had just refined. He subsequently stored the pill in a porcelain bottle and put away the alchemy furnace.After Sheila got dressed, Severin brought her downstairs to have breakfast."Hey, Severin… can I… umm… can I call you 'dear' in the future?" Sheila asked shyly after they walked out of the hotel.Severin looked at her bashful appearance and said with a smile, "Of course! You're my woman after all.
The man drove back to the province governor's mansion. He came up to Owen and Sami, and told them, "I've managed to find out that he's staying in room eight-o-eight at the Skycean Hotel. He's booked for a week. As it stands, he probably hasn't left yet."Owen and Sami exchanged glances and had gleeful expressions on their faces."Wonderful. You'll receive the money transfer soon," Owen said contently. "Bring a few men with you and keep watch from the surveillance room. You don't need to follow him everywhere though. Just watch the surveillance footage and confirm whether or not he returned to the hotel in the past few days. We don't want to spook him!"Sami smiled and said, "That guy is pretty though, I'll give him that. I'm surprised he's still in town even after knowing that he pissed me off yesterday.""He booked a week's stay at the hotel, so it seems to me that they have some purpose other than travel. I don't think they'll leave unless they finish whatever it is they're here
The man's defensive expression prompted Severin to smile and say, "Relax, fellas. I'm just curious. Since you're from a gang, I'm pretty sure you've got the details on other gangs in Skycean City. I simply wish to know which are the more famous factions around these parts, and if you might know any organization called Taurus Hall.""Taurus Hall?" the man frowned pensively after hearing that.After thinking about it for some time, he shook his head and said, "There are too many forces in Skycean City. I can't remember all of them. The more famous ones are the Truedragon Gang, the Free Rebel Gang, and the Loggerwood Gang. There are other smaller halls like the Vainwave Gang and the Snowfly Gang. That's as far as I know. Taurus Hall doesn't ring a bell to me."The disappointment was about to hit Severin hard, but a man next to him thought for some time and voiced out, "If I remember correctly, there is a Taurus Hall east of the city. I don't know where exactly, though." Severin was o
Severin soon obtained more information about Taurus Hall."Hehe, Taurus Hall? I know them. They're not a big organization, though. They have about seven or eight thousand members in total, and their hall master's attainment is a rather low level three warrior king..." the man told Severin what he knew after taking the money that Severin offered to him.Severin nodded contentedly when he heard that. A level three warrior king might be considered low for one of Skycean City's gang leaders, but it was quite a decent attainment. One of Severin's pills would allow the hall master to break through to the level nine warrior king with relative ease. Judging from the time that Severin had remaining, he most definitely would be able to accomplish that feat."What's their hall master like, by the way?" Severin asked the man again."Their leader is a smoking hot woman who is probably in her thirties," the man began. "Her figure is slightly curvy, but she has a unique charm. She's also super fi
"The Free Rebel Gang's great guardian?" Severin frowned confusedly.The man that Severin spoke to enjoyed talking about other people, so he happily told them, "Yeah. Rumors are going around that Yuka is having an affair with the Free Rebel Gang's great guardian. I mean, why else would he help her out all the time, right? The guy's name is Gabriel. He has plenty of wives and side chicks, so it makes sense that he's a creep, right? How else can you explain their relationship if a creep helps her out whenever she's in a tricky situation?"Severin was slightly taken aback by that reasoning. His expression was slightly unnatural as he said, "Perhaps you shouldn't make such claims without any evidence. What if Yuka finds out and kills you?"He looked at his surroundings and said with a smile, "Hehe, she's not around, is she? Besides, plenty of people are saying that she's sleeping with her sworn brother in addition to Gabriel. I'm not the only one talking about them behind their backs."
