Severin thought for a moment and refrained from making a promise right away. He said solemnly, "I can't give you an answer right now because that was my first time meeting my master's junior. I haven't met him before then, and I can't be sure if he's the kind of person who is easy to talk to.""You can't be serious, right? Is that really so difficult for him to accept?" Megan frowned. She was obviously a little disappointed.Severin smiled and said, "We still have another seven months to go. By that time, Diane, Sheila, and Selene would have achieved a certain level of attainment. Since he is my master's junior, it should be fine to bring the three of them along."Sheila and Diane exchanged glances with each other.However, Severin continued, "Benjamin is a first-grade high-rank alchemist at the moment, and I believe he'll be a second-grade alchemist by then. It would be easy for him to join the sect. You, on the other hand, might face some difficulty if you neither have any attain
Severin had dinner with everyone at a restaurant before returning happily to the governor's mansion.Sofia lay on the bed with conflicted feelings. Although there were no longer any moans coming from the room next to her, she had insomnia because she was thinking too much. She had already told Severin what she wanted to tell him, so she could not figure out any other excuse for her to stay."What should I do?" Sofia sat up suddenly. Unlike Sheila, she was not bold and brave enough to try and win his heart. By contrast, Sofia was a very shy woman. She was upset at not having a concrete excuse to stay.At that moment, Severin was lying on the bed with Diane. She rested her head on his chest and said softly, "I can't help but feel that Sofia likes you after how she reacted today. She blushed so hard when Megan said that to her. I can tell that she's an innocent woman."Severin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say that, honey. Sheila mentioned before that Janice and Nancy like me too.
Franko then explained, "It's… it's because I offended a guy and he castrated me. I'm no longer a normal man. I'm a useless person.""Castrated?"Nana was dumbfounded. She took a few steps back and stood there in shock. "How is that even possible? Who would do that to you? Don't you have a high level of attainment? You have plenty of strong bodyguards helping you, don't you? Aren't you the son of a commander? Who would dare to attack you?""His name is Severin, and he's the South County's governor!" Franko gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists. He wanted Severin dead."Severin!" Nana gritted her teeth angrily. "Isn't he already dead? Didn't your father avenge you? You and your father are both warrior emperors."Franko shook his head in disappointment. "Even though my father is a level two warrior emperor, he's still no match for Severin. Severin is probably a level three or level four warrior emperor. He did that to me just because I accidentally touched the butt of a female rec
"They are. They're very strong!" Nana said with a grin. "There are about a dozen or members, and few people know about them. Many have an attainment level that is much higher than that of your father. Their highest-in-command has even reached that of level eight warrior emperor! Even my father treats them with the utmost respect so as not to offend them when doing business with them.""They're that strong?" Franko asked in surprise. He then remarked with emotion, "Guess I do have some hope of revenge then." However, he soon frowned and said, "Maybe we should just forget about it. If your father has to treat them with such respect when he does business with them, I wouldn't dare to request your father's help to ask them. Besides, they probably won't lend a hand for this sort of stuff."Nana frowned slightly. "Shadraw won't do things on a whim. They usually interfere only when it's related to the safety of Dracodom." Then, she paused for a moment before continuing, "But don't worry. My
"Okay then. Be safe!" Franko waved his hand at her and bid her goodbye. He then turned around and drove off."Bring me back to the palace!" Nana said to Michael and the other men.Once they were back, Nana went up to her father—Logan."Father!" Nana called out to Logan with a sweet smile. "Let me give you a massage!"Logan smiled and accepted the offer. As he enjoyed Nana's shoulder rubbing, he said, "What's gotten into you today? I'm surprised you'd take the initiative to give me a shoulder massage. Tell me, is there anything you need my help with? I find it hard to believe that you'd give me a massage for no good reason."Nana then said coquettishly, "Nothing escapes you, huh?" She walked from the back to the front and squatted in front of Logan. She massaged his legs and said, "Father, Franko was bullied, and I want you to ask Shadraw's people to help avenge him.""Hold on…" Logan was stunned for a moment. "You're kidding right, Nana? Are you genuinely asking me to request Sha
"Leslie is a commander, after all. Severin wouldn't dare to kill him!" Nana said casually.Logan smiled and said, "That's good. It means he's conducted himself properly. He may have won, but he spared Leslie and Franko because he simply wanted to teach them a lesson. It would be good to keep the Marsdens' ego in check. There's no sound reason for us to avenge Franko, is there?"Logan then took a deep breath before adding, "I know that you like Franko, but he's arrogant, and he doesn't feel the same way for you. I think it's best that you just give up.""No! Franko likes me too. My relationship with him is progressing well, but Franko has lost his masculinity." Nana became angrier with each passing thought. Her eyes were already red, and she was already about to cry."What do you mean when you say that he's lost his masculinity?" Logan did not understand what she meant and looked curiously at her.Nana then said awkwardly, "He… umm… Severin castrated him.""What? That's rather bol
"Fine! I'll speak to them about this! Could you please just put the sword away?" Logan was forced to agree to her demands because he was afraid that she might do it.Nana breathed a sigh of relief when Logan agreed. She put away the sword and said, "That's a promise, Father. You can't go back on your word.""I won't. I'll talk to them, and I'll get them to help even if it means having to beg them. Are you happy now?" Logan felt helpless. He walked over, took out a healing pill, and handed it to Nana. "Eat this so your wounds will heal. You've lost your mind, you know that?""I know you love me more than anyone else in the world!" Nana took Logan's hand and said coquettishly.After a while, Logan arrived at a courtyard. A grey-haired, wispy-bearded, and almost immortal-looking old man was playing chess with another middle-aged man. Both of them were Shadraw's members, and the old man was none other than Alex Horstead—their leader.When the two of them saw Logan's arrival, they mere
Logan smiled wryly. "There's nothing to suggest that's the case. He has such a high level of attainment, but he never came to me and asked to be appointed province governor or commander. Why would he want to usurp my position? Besides, don't practitioners like yourself tend not be interested in securing these positions of power?"Francis nodded. "That does seem so. Our thoughts are occupied by attainment. We'd prefer to enjoy our day rather than concern ourselves with these worldly things. We wouldn't have any time to train if we had to devote some of our time to handling matters involving the country."Logan nodded approvingly. "That's true. But the characters of some people might not be as clear-cut as it would seem. Many are still motivated by money and power.""Tell me, Logan. Why did you seek us out to handle this Severin you speak of?" Alex asked Logan after some thought.Finally, an embarrassed Logan explained what happened to the both of them. He then added, "Sigh, my daugh
