Severin, Diane, and the others were not affected by that brief episode. They spent the day enjoying the sights at Oolong City and returned to their lodging when the sky darkened. By the time they were back, Zeke had already instructed several of his men to prepare a feast for them."Haha, come right over, Severin! We're going to have a wonderful feast tonight," Zeke beckoned as soon as he saw Severin's return."Haha, don't mind if I do then!" Severin laughed. He then walked to the table and sat down."Guess we're in for a treat then, huh?" Megan said with a smile."I invited one of Oolong City's famous chefs to prepare our food. The wine that we'll be having is produced only in Oolong City. It tastes amazing, and I drink plenty of it whenever I'm here," Zeke said with a smile.Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.The next day, Severin went shopping with Diane and Megan since they had another free day too. Time passed by quickly, and soon the day came for them to attend the birthd
Severin had a rather contrived expression when he recalled Horace mentioning numerous times that he had a beautiful granddaughter whom he wished he could marry off to Severin. Severin started to wonder if Horace specifically arranged for Wendy to become her bodyguard for that reason.Horace immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I just didn't tell you! Haha! She has plenty to gain from being around you. She told me that she was already a level nine warrior king, and that it wouldn't take long before she had a breakthrough to warrior emperor if she ate one of your pills! Haha!"Lillie came over with a grin and said to Severin, "Before we set off from South Link City, Wendy told her grandpa to save two spots so we could attend the banquet too. After all, each invitation comes with a quota of five people."Severin was speechless. He could only smile wryly and say, "Guess I'm the only one kept in the dark then. You two planned this from the very beginning!""It's not just you," Sheila said
"You know Steward?" Both Horace and Zeke could not help but feel a little surprised when they heard that. It went without saying that the three commanders were much higher in status than any of them. It was understandably surprising to them that Severin would be acquainted with such a person.Severin then answered with an odd expression, "I've met them before!"Sheila snickered from behind. She knew Severin only said that as a show of courtesy to Steward. There was no doubt that Steward and Sami would be extremely humiliated if Severin told the whole truth about defeating Steward and slapping Sami in the face.Steward was not too happy to see Severin and the others. Severin was the last person he wanted to meet, which was understandable given the humiliation that they suffered at his hands. He had come to terms with it after some time because he realized that his daughter had grown less arrogant. He was happy with how things turned out because she had matured as a person and learned
Steward was worried that Severin might bring up what happened in the past, so he immediately replied, "Oh, of course! She's more obedient now, and she's been learning to do laundry recently."Severin nodded in satisfaction and went in with the others. He was in no rush to give his gifts, so he told Steward, Horace and the others to go ahead first. When it was his turn, he took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the old man who was in charge of recording who gave what.The old man glanced at Severin, looked at Severin's invitation, and asked a little unhappily, "What is that shabby little thing? Our commander, Steward, and our war god, Horace, have both given some spiritual herbs. You, on the other hand, gave only a small little bottle."Severin smiled and said to the other party, "Take a look at the contents before you call my gift shabby."The old man snickered coldly and opened the porcelain bottle to look inside. Spiritual herbs were just about the best gift that Seve
"That's insane! How can he afford to give away so many pills? These are all second-grade high-rank pills too!"Franko and Leslie were there early because they wanted to see how bad Severin's gift was. If they could not win against Severin, then they could at least make a couple of sarcastic remarks to embarrass him. Alas, they were both stunned after the announcement of Severin's gift.Nana, who was next to Franko, seemed astonished too. She gulped after some time and could not help but say, "That can't be possible. How is he so generous in offering something so valuable? My brother got lucky this time! It probably won't be long before another powerful individual is added to the palace."Franko clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "He must've done it on purpose to disrupt the structure of your royal family."Peter, the Nine Dragon Province's governor, could only smile bitterly after hearing the announcement. He had been bullied by Severin once before. He thought to
On the other hand, Franko and Leslie were very upset when they saw Philip being so cordial toward Severin.Franko whispered to his father, "I didn't know he was an alchemist! He seems to be pretty good at it too."Leslie nodded. "There's no denying that he's a talented man, but it's such a shame that he offended us. He could've achieved many more great things in the future."Franko sneered. "He might look happy now, but I doubt he can keep his chin up if he knows what's coming for him."The fact that Severin was a second-grade high-rank alchemist sent waves throughout the palace."His Majesty has arrived!" A voice announced. Soon enough, everyone saw the king walk in with his concubines and several of his strongest men."Tsk, tsk, tsk. He probably has about thirty women, from the looks of it?" Severin's expression became a little stiff when he saw the number of women with the king."Can he even handle all of them?" Megan muttered when she saw it would take a while for the king t
The atmosphere became much livelier after Logan arrived with all his women. Some of the province governors arrived later as well, but none of them could produce a gift that could rival that of Severin's.Logan approached Franko and Leslie. He then winked at them before saying, "Come with me."Leslie exchanged glances with his son. Though they were a little puzzled, they did as they were requested and followed Logan away.When they arrived at a small pavilion in the distance, Logan asked the two of them, "Why didn't you tell me that Severin is a second-grade high-rank alchemist?"Leslie was speechless for a moment, but he soon explained to Logan, "All I know is that he has very strong attainment. I didn't expect that he'd be proficient in alchemy, or that he is a second-grade high-rank alchemist!"Logan's frown made Franko realize that something was amiss. His brows furrowed and he asked, "Is this going to make you change your mind, Your Majesty?"Logan gave it some thought before
"That's… that's outrageous!" Logan was beginning to feel somewhat persuaded, but he pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone is going to condemn us for spurning Severin's kindness if word gets out!"Franko fanned the flames and said, "You need to be able to be ruthless if you want to show dominance. The palace needs to be strong. This is the best way to do it. We're going to do this secretly, so you can rest assured that no one will find out about it. It'll be fine as long as we're holding him and his family prisoner in a secret room."Leslie felt that it was a feasible plan. "That might sound like an evil plan, but it's undoubtedly a good plan. Dracodom will become stronger when there are more warrior emperors around!"Logan was already convinced by that, but rather than express his opinion right away, he merely said, "We'll cross the bridge when we get there. Let's take this one step at a time. Since you're so determined to avenge your son, then I guess we'll just follow the orig
