Benjamin had exceeded Severin's expectations with his quick progress and absorbed Severin's teachings well. He made a breakthrough to first-grade high-rank alchemist in no time and was already trying his hand at being a second-grade low-rank alchemist.Severin and the ladies soon arrived at the discussed restaurant, and Benjamin was already waiting for them outside.When he saw Severin and others approaching, he immediately came forward and greeted them.Megan introduced Sofia to Benjamin. "This is Sofia, the girl I mentioned to you yesterday. She's a disciple of the Stormy Moon Sect."Benjamin smiled and said, "Hello Miss Sofia, Megan said many good things about you to me yesterday. She mentioned that you're a very beautiful woman whose attainment is very high! I'm honored to feast with you tonight!"Sofia replied politely, "We're way past the need for formalities! You're Megan's boyfriend, so you're practically part of her family.""Shall we?" Megan beckoned them. "Let's take a
Everyone had a good time during dinner. Suddenly, the restaurant manager ran up anxiously to them."May I speak to you, madam?"The manager was a 30-something year old woman, and her eyes darted when speaking to Megan.Megan frowned and immediately sought clarification, "What is it, Mandy?"Mandy then explained, "This man smacked the butt of our receptionist. She demanded an apology from the man, but he refused to do so and went so far as to slap her for talking back!"Megan was furious when she heard what happened. She stood up and said, "Where are our guards? Why didn't they stop him? Doesn't he know that our restaurant has relations with the county governor's mansion?"Mandy then said, "He's accompanied by several burly men who beat all our guards up. I mentioned that this restaurant is owned by the county governor's mansion, but he seemed like he didn't care. They didn't take our warnings seriously at all, and they wanted to take that receptionist with him, saying that he was
Megan initially expected the guy to cower in fear after hearing what she said, but he maintained his calm expression and smirked in disdain instead. "Why should I care if this restaurant belongs to South County Mansion? They'll still have to bow down to me when they show up. I'll destroy this restaurant with a snap of the finger if they piss me off, and I can even take away his position as county governor."He puffed his chest and emphasized his stance. "After all, a new county governor will have to be elected if the current one is removed from their position.""Who are you?" Megan gritted her teeth. She was starting to worry the moment this man refused to back down. Her first guess was that he might be the son of a certain province governor, or perhaps even a province governor himself.The fat man let go of the woman he was assaulting and dusted his hands. He then asked Megan, "Who are you? Are you the general manager?""I am." Megan folded her hands over her chest and snorted col
The moment Fent got up, he tasted a metallic sweetness at the back of his tongue. His face turned pale from the impact as he stared at Severin. He looked fearful, knowing that Severin must be incredibly powerful if a level six warrior king like him could be blasted away so effortlessly."Who are you? Your strength is at least that of a level seven warrior king!" Fent had an extremely ugly expression as he looked at Severin.Severin smiled and said, "As luck would have it, I'm the person that your boss says he's not afraid of. My name is Severin, and I'm the South County's governor!"The fat man's mouth twitched a few times before he snorted coldly. "Hmph, and here I was thinking that you were a nobody. So, you're the South County Governor? I can tell that you were appointed on the basis of your strength, but I'm going to make you regret what you did soon enough."Severin glanced over at a corner where there were still a lot of customers and said to Megan, "Megan, could you usher al
"Why should I apologize when I don't even know who you are? You're the one who should be kneeling and begging for mercy!" Severin thought about that name for a moment and eventually said to the other party."You've never heard of Franko before? How ignorant can you be?" Fent, whom Severin injured previously, looked angrily at the latter. He then said in a rough voice, "He's the son of Leslie, a commander. You should know who he is by now, right?""A commander's son?" Megan was surprised at first, but then her expression soured immediately after hearing that.Her reaction boosted Franko's confidence, but everyone else did not seem to react the same way. No one seemed particularly bothered with the new information."Aren't you afraid of me after knowing that I'm a commander's son?" Franko was puzzled.Sofia could not stand Franko's arrogance any longer and shot Franko a sarcastic look as she said, "You're nothing without your father. Bullies like you need to be killed, or permanentl
Severin, in particular, stood there almost expressionlessly, as if he had already expected such an outcome."Aren't you afraid of me after exposing my level?" The old man looked at Severin with astonishment. Severin's reaction was something he never would have expected to see."He might look calm, but deep down, he's probably panicking," Franko said in disdain. He believed that it was unlikely for Severin not to be afraid of a level nine warrior king. In his opinion, Severin was probably pretending to be calm or perhaps formulating some sort of an escape plan.The next second, they were all left shocked when Severin mobilized his thoughts and produced a protective shield of spiritual energy on his body."You're acting as if I don't know how to create a spiritual energy shield as well. Well, here you go! What's there to be afraid of?! It's nothing new!" Severin condensed his spiritual energy shield and smiled at the old man."That's a surprise!" the old man said with a chuckle. "Yo
Becoming a level nine warrior king was an achievement that one would be proud of. On that note, it would undoubtedly be agonizing to have such an achievement destroyed by someone else.Sure enough, a dull sound echoed and the old man spat out mouthfuls of blood. He looked at his abdomen in disbelief. A severe pain hit him, and the whites of his eyes were only shown as he lost consciousness.Such a simple act had rendered a level nine warrior king completely useless. Before the old man fainted, he could only look at Severin in disbelief."Rio!" Franko was frightened by what happened. He brought the four strong men with him to protect the old man, and the strongest among them was Rio — a level nine warrior king.Severin smiled faintly. He would never have dared to let the old man use any sort of technique. The restaurant belonged to them, after all, and it would have been destroyed if his technique was unleashed. For that reason, Severin pushed the opponent back with lightning speed
The rest of Franko's men were feeling anguished. Despite that, they did not dare to make a move. They understood very well that if a level nine warrior king couldn't defeat Severin then they surely did not have a chance to even lay a finger on him."Mister Franko!"Everyone was taken aback. Never in their wildest dreams would they expect to witness a level nine warrior king — one who was on the same level of attainment as the Four Great War Gods not too long ago — have his attainment abolished so easily. Not to mention, their master — the son of a commander — would be castrated even after he had told Severin his identity."F*ck! Damn you! Are you crazy? Ah! It hurts so badly!" Franko cussed.The pain was insufferable and became unconscious after he uttered his last curse word."Mister Franko!" Fent and the other two rushed over and shouted out loud.Their knees buckled from fear. They were worried that the commander would go ballistic for failing to protect Franko.Of course, th
