Suddenly, Diane looked at Severin and said, "Well, I don't know if they like you or not. But you're really a very charming and attractive man."Severin did not know what to say. "Diane, that's a huge compliment. I'm afraid I'm going to have far too much pride in the future."Diane explained, "You're young and handsome. You have high attainment. And you're a second-grade high-rank alchemist. You know how popular an alchemist is. They are wanted and treated with respect everywhere they go. You have all those advantages. Do you still think you are not that attractive to women? If they don't like you, they are either blind or dead.""Alright, alright. You two need to stop or I'm going to smile even in my dream," Severin stopped them from praising him further."Haha. I don't believe that. You're a very mature and steady guy." Sheila covered her mouth and chuckled.After he thought about it, he said, "Oh, Diane, I forgot to tell you. I'm a third-grade low-rank alchemist now. And I have
Diane frowned at what happened and asked Sheila, "How did the Nine Draco Province's governor find out about this? You didn't mention anything about it yesterday."Sheila smiled wryly and said, "There were so many things happening yesterday that I nearly lost my voice after talking so much. Please don't blame me for skipping over some of the details, especially since this happened just before we returned."Diane was at a loss as to how to react to that. She said, "Well, you explained everything so vividly yesterday that even Severin's parents were listening. We want to hear the story too! Do you think you can tell us what happened with the Province Governor?""There wasn't much, to be honest," Sheila said. "The Nightsky's gang leader was killed, so his daughter prostituted herself in exchange for the mayor's help. However, Severin killed him along with several other elders." Following a brief pause, she then continued, "The Nine Draco Province's governor resides in Nine Dragon City t
"That does sound reasonable. All you did was give them a third-grade low-rank pill, but that doesn't mean that you're a third-grade low-rank alchemist," Sheila said with a smile. "If they asked, you can tell them that you happened to come across that pill, or that some mysterious old man gave it to you."Severin could not help but laugh when he heard that. "The Province Governor has already refined that pill to the best of their abilities, so it'll be a dead end for them as long as I don't admit to giving him that pill!"Sheila's eyes lit up after hearing that, and so did Diane."Hehe, you're a smart man!" Diane remarked with a chuckle.Nightfall came, and the Shanahan family was getting a little excited after knowing Sofia's background. After all, they've long heard about certain mysterious forces that exist in the world. These forces were stronger than a war god and more terrifying than a commander. Sofia had meddled in such forces — she was an elite disciple in a secluded sect.
Stanley paused and took a deep breath for dramatic effect, "I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you."Severin did not expect Stanley to undergo such a drastic change of character. Rather than holding a grudge against Severin for the so-called punishment, he seemed incredibly grateful to Severin.Severin raised his wine glass and said with a chuckle, "Haha, I guess that's fate for you!""Wait a second. What are all of you talking about? I can't make head or tail of your conversation." Sofia was a little bamboozled. "So from what I understand now, you became an internet celebrity because you lost a bet to Severin and had to be punished?"Stanley smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, that's right. I earned more than enough money after becoming an internet celebrity, and to top it all off, I was recently approached by a movie director to make a movie. It's always been a lifelong dream of mine, and I'm pretty stoked that I now have the opportunity to make it come true!"It was clear that Sta
It was an enjoyable meal that brought much joy to the Shanahans. Everyone had their fill and shared fun memories together. Before it was time to leave, Catherine came up to Severin. "Could you, Diane, and Sheila drop by my villa when we return? I'd like to discuss something with all three of you."Severin exchanged a surprised glance with Diane and Sheila.Although the old lady was the eldest figure in the family, it was Severin and Diane who had the final say regarding anything that concerned the Shanahans. After all, the Shanahans were in South County Mansion, which was truly a far cry from their days as a third-rate family.For that reason, the old lady never asked about the Shanahans' affairs and spent her days leisurely. Severin and Diane were understandably surprised that the old lady would suddenly have something to talk to them about."Sure, Grandma!" Although the three of them were very puzzled, they all nodded in agreement and said nothing further.Everyone returned home
Catherine chuckled and said, "Of course not. What I'm trying to say is that the traditional human society we are in might be too small for you. You have the potential to achieve so much more. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you're free to seek personal growth as long as you can bring more stability to our family."She paused for a moment before continuing, "The Stormy Moon Sect might be a great place for you to start. You're an alchemist, and you're also on very good terms with Sofia. It appears to me that she's doing well in the Stormy Moon Sect, so it'd be good if you could get her to recommend you as a potential disciple. You're strong enough to kill their guardians, so you'll probably get to be an elder right away. Even if you can't, you'll be fast-tracked to becoming one. What do you think?"Diane and Sheila looked at each other with slightly odd expressions. As it turned out, the old lady had called them over to persuade Severin to join the Stormy Moon Sect. Unfortunately, s
Sheila's face turned red when Severin spoke up. She quickly responded by rolling her eyes. "I'm just telling the truth. They are honest women with good character."Catherine chuckled and said, "A man of Severin's ability deserves more women." She then turned to Severin and asked, "What do you think? Any thoughts on Sofia? This is just my suggestion, of course. It could pose as an ideal path for you to improve and realize your potential. It might be helpful for your future development as well."Severin then said to her, "You don't need to be too worried about that, Grandma. The Stormy Moon Sect is making good progress, but it's merely a small and ordinary sect among the many forces that I'm aware of."He paused to take a breather before continuing, "Have I mentioned Wuhlricht to you before? He's a very strong individual, and he's the leader of the Skyblue Sect. We'll be going to the Skyblue Sect in a few months, where a great opportunity will be in store for us. I believe that I'll g
"This bracelet is breathtakingly beautiful!" Sheila admired the bracelet closely and discovered that certain parts of it had a uniquely vivid luster. This starlike piece could easily capture the attention of those who laid eyes on it.Severin looked at the two women and quipped, "The gold bracelets are beautiful, but they'll look even better on the wrists of my two beautiful women."Diane immediately rolled her eyes at Severin and said, "You're becoming more and more of a smooth talker now, aren't ya!""Okay, it's getting late! You should all go back and get some rest," Catherine said with a smile.The three of them walked out of Catherine's villa and headed back to their own.When Severin walked to the corridor of the second floor, he looked at the two women and smiled subtly. "It's pretty late, so why don't we just sleep together? Wouldn't want either of you to get jealous if I choose to sleep with the other. It's always good to be fair."Diane immediately said, "Hah! That's so
