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
"Would you look at that? Severin is chatting with the four war gods!""Goodness! Severin must've given them some pills. Wait a second! I think I can piece it together now! Didn't they have a breakthrough to level one warrior emperor within just a week? Severin must've given them pills! It couldn't have been that big of a coincidence that they managed to have a breakthrough!""Severin truly is powerful. He's very good at winning people's hearts. I think that's why Calum vouched for him and was able to ensure that he was appointed as the South County's governor. It's probably because Calum has the pills!""He might be able to refine pills, but I don't think anyone else will be willing to give them away just like that. He is a generous man!"The province governors and the other princes came up with all sorts of theories as they engaged in a riveting discussion with each other."You're amazing, honey. You're the most attractive man here!" Diane secretly gave Severin a thumbs up and sa
Nana smiled and said, "I have something to talk to you in private. Could you come for a walk with me, please?""Sure." Severin nodded with a smile. He then said to everyone at his table, "Please excuse me. You may continue chatting with Beryl and the others. Princess Nana wishes to speak with me in private, so I'll be going on a walk with her.""Go ahead!" Felicia grinned from ear to ear. She felt as though she had reached the peak of what life had to offer. She never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to come to such a place, much less have dinner with such important figures. During the dinner, she took many photos and posted them in the family group to show off. The Shanahans, including Maurice and Judtih, were happy to see her in a good mood and smiled heartily too. Needless to say, some were extremely envious of her good fortune.After Severin followed Nana away, no one noticed that Franko, Leslie, and Logan had also slipped away secretly.Felicia was overjoyed as she
At that moment, Beryl frowned and said, "As far as I know, she's never had a boyfriend before."When Felicia heard that, she seemed to say with certainty, "See! I was right! It's her first time, so you can't blame her for being shy. It's because Severin was love at first sight for her that she's being all secretive about it." Felicia then had a sudden realization: "If this comes true… then wouldn't we become the relatives of the king? Just thinking about it is giving me the shivers!""Don't you think you're reading too much into this, Mom? What if you guessed wrongly? You can't just delude yourself with these ridiculous fantasies!" Diane said unhappily.Diane only accepted Sheila as Severin's second wife because she already knew Sheila and had a good impression of Sheila. She was not too keen on accepting Nana yet because she did not know anything about Nana's character. It would be ridiculous to let Severin accept her!Furthermore, Nana was a princess who was bound to have been sp
"I'm really sorry, Mister Severin. You're a talented person, but you offended Leslie. Leslie saved my life when I was young, and I am obliged to return the favor when he asked me to help!" Logan walked over and said apologetically to Severin. He was feeling very guilty.Nana then said, "Dream on if you think we're going to just kill you and be done with it. What we're doing today is far worse—we'll turn you into a true cripple.""Do you know what that means?" Franko asked with a smile. "We're going to castrate you and destroy your attainment. That'll cripple you forever!"Severin glanced at the four of them and immediately saw through their attainment. He could not help but smirk and said, "With these four people? You'll be disappointed though.""Hehe, don't be so arrogant, boy. Do you have any idea what sort of attainment these four people possess? They're the strongest members of Shadraw, and their attainment is much higher than mine." Leslie looked at Severin with disdain and sa
"Nora, he could be a level three or level four warrior emperor. Watch out and don't kill him. He's an alchemist. We still have use for him."Franko giggled and gave a head up to Nora when he saw Nora attacking Severin. In his mind, he could foresee how badly injured Severin would be after Nora's attack. He was feeling excited and overwhelmed knowing he would have his revenge soon. However, the scene that Franko and Leslie had been waiting for did not appear.Severin balled up his fist, enveloped his spiritual energy around his fist, moved at the speed of lightning, and punched Nora far away. Nora got blasted away like a fallen kite. As she was falling, she felt a warm feeling coming up her throat. Immediately, she vomited blood that drew a perfect arch in the air.She crash-landed nearly a mile away and could not believe the result. It took her a great deal to pull herself up on her feet. Then again, she vomited another mouthful of blood which left her with a pale face."No! This is
