Severin chuckled and said, "Oh. Miss Yuka. I hope that we're friends now. Please don't be shy to tell me if you are in any difficulties and if you need any help.""Thank you for the kind offer. But I don't need any help now. I'll make sure I remember you when I need help."Yuka was thrilled to hear that. It surely was a good thing for her if she could get to know a rich kid when she was desperate to get more money. At least now she knew she could borrow money from Severin when she needed to find money to ensure the operation of the hall. She did not know if Severin was implying something when he said those."Haha. Good!" Severin chuckled. "Oh. I would like to know something. Just how loyal are your member to you?"Yuka frowned. She did not understand why Severin would ask that question. It kinda caught her off guard.She thought of it and answered, "They are very loyal to me and the hall."Severin nodded. "That's good to hear. I know for a fact that sometimes not every member of
After Yuka left the villa, Sheila gave Severin a curious look. "Severin, why did you ask that question? Is there an elder with higher attainment than Miss Yuka?"Severin smiled faintly. "It's better if the hall master is the strongest in the hall. Otherwise, the hall easily will have problems when the members are not loyal and united."After a pause, he continued. "When we were eating together, I find that the elders are quite loyal. But it seems like Brody's power in the hall is quite strong which is not a good thing. He's not an elder. He's just Yuka's stepbrother. But he doesn't seem to contend to be Yuka's stepbrother. You saw what happened just now. He's not a generous person and he likes Yuka."Sheila nodded. "Yes. From there, we can tell his tolerance level is very low and he gets frustrated very easily. We were their guests who had just gifted them with 300,000,000 dollars. Under that situation, he shouldn't have said those things."Severin nodded. "Yes. That's why we need
Those debt problems gave Yuka a headache. She sighed sadly. "We don't have a choice. If we clear the loan we owe the bank, at least we can save some interest money and eventually, we have to pay it. I'll find a time to talk with Gabriel about the loan we owe Free Rebel Gang and ask him to help us defer the payment date. The Free Rebel Gang listens to him."Yet, the Great Elder was worried. "But I think it's getting more and more dangerous for you to maintain the relationship between you and Gabriel. He had been helping you out for the past two years but I'm really afraid that one day, he would change his mind."Yuka frowned and did some thinking. "Don't worry. I know what you're trying to say. Just go and clear the bank loan tomorrow morning. I will think of a way to deal with Free Rebel Gang. Our new restaurant is doing quite well and so are the other restaurants too. Let's keep it up so we got money to pay Free Rebel Gang next year."She paused for a while. "Since Severin is stayi
Brody smiled. "Yes. I know what I did was wrong."After that, he started to admire Yuka's body again which caused his heart rate to increase. In the end, he decided to approach Yuka and grabbed Yuka's hand. "Yuka, the only reason I acted that way is because of you. I love you and that's why I say those things to Severin."It frightened Yuka. Although she knew Brody had feelings for her, she did not share the same feelings. All the while she had treated Brody as her brother, someone who looked after her like a family. Thus, she had been keeping a distance from him too. As such, she did not expect Brody would confess his love to her now.Frantically, she withdrew her hand away from his and said, "Brody, what are you talking about? You're my stepbrother and I've always seen you as my brother. How can you tell me that now?"Brody replied, "In the beginning, I admired your personality and thought that you must be very tired from running this hall by yourself. So I wanted to help you and
It never crossed Yuka's mind that Brody would think she was that type of woman. When Brody tried to hug her again, she was feeling so angry that she slapped him in the face."Brody! I never know you are a jerk! I already told you that I don't like you and nothing ever happened between me and Gabriel. Those rumors you heard are fake. Those people didn't know me as you do. I flirted with him because of the hall. But I swear that I will never exchange sexual favor for money!"Yuka glared at Brody angrily and felt disappointed. She never thought Brody would try to force her to accept him.The slap only added more frustration to Brody. He said angrily, "Yuka! Stop pretending. Do you really think I don't know what kind of woman you are? Are you refusing to sleep with me because I don't have any more to give you? I don't care what you think. You're going to sleep with me. End of discussion!"He balled up his hand with spiritual energy moving around his fist."Brody. I really think of you
"Brody! I didn't know you are such a jerk!"Yuka gritted her teeth angrily. What was happening now had totally blown her mind. To think that Brody actually thought he could convince her to sleep with him. When that did not work, his attitude changed, and tried to force her."Haha! Yes, I'm a jerk! That's exactly who I am!" Brody laughed out loud, "You better listen to me. At least, we can continue to be friends and I can still help you out. Whether you accept me or not, I'm going to sleep with you. Or the worst thing that can happen is I kill you and the elders and take over Taurus Hall. Do you understand?""You…"Yuka never know Brody was a shameless jerk that would use Taurus Hall to threaten him. She balled up her hand. As someone who always knew which is the best choice to make, she was having trouble choosing now. If she did not succumb to Brody or found a way to resolve the matter now, that would be the end of Taurus Hall after Brody raped her and killed the elders.After th
"How did you come in here?" Brody was shocked when he saw Severin and Sheila walk into the villa together.Severin smiled. "How did I come in? I knocked off those two men and walked in here.""Fine. Since you show up, I shall make today the last day you live." Brody glared at Severin with evil eyes. "I can finally kill you!"Immediately, Yuka ran over and stood in front of Severin and Sheila. She warned, "Severin. This jerk drugged the elders with sleeping pills. You should leave. This is Taurus Hall's problem. You don't have to get yourself involved."Brody smiled. "Oh, my god! Yuka, my darling, you're so kind. Are you really going to make me your enemy because this guy gave you a large sum of money and you want to protect him for that?"He chuckled again. "Just sleep with me. I'll give you the money when I'm rich. Do you want me to write you an IOU note? You money-oriented woman!""Brody Wagner! I want to kill you!"Yuka could not take it anymore. Never in her wildest dream th
It never occurred to Severin that Yuka was such a good person who rather stayed and stall time so he and Sheila could escape. Despite that, Severin knew the difference between Yuka and Brody was by a far stretch."Miss Yuka, don't worry. Severin is very strong. He won't let that *sshole bully you!"Sheila smiled, walked over, and held Yuka's hand. Even after the assurance Sheila gave, Yuka still frowned vehemently because she did not know if Sheila was bluffing or telling the truth. After all, people always said those who are in love are always blind. Maybe in Sheila's eyes, Severin was the strongest.Severin smiled and took two steps forward. "Miss Yuka, don't worry. No matter what you said, I'm going to get myself involve in this matter today. Because I'm not an outsider as you think. Since this is Taurus Hall's problem, then I won't stand by the side and do nothing."After that, Severin took out the ring and put it on his finger. He smiled. "I'm sure you can recognize this ring.
