Starkel knew right away that he had lost to Severin. He was not as good as Severin, and he was hardly on Severin's level. He had no choice but to accept that he was almost nothing in front of someone so strong.However, he still could not resign himself to that crushing defeat. He walked up to Elsa, looked into her eyes, and said to her, "You know how much I care about you, don’t you? I feel compelled to tell you right now that I love you. I want to know whether you feel the same toward me. I hope you'll give me an answer."Elsa was momentarily speechless. She felt that she had made her stance clear when she rejected his repeated invitations to watch a movie with her. She has been keeping a distance from him since the beginning! Elsa smiled bitterly and said to him, "I've always regarded you as a brother and a friend. I hope you'll understand that."Starkel had a disappointed look. He smiled wryly and said to Elsa, "Guess I'm the one who's thinking too much then. I'll leave."Stark
Elsa returned to her house after she was done sending Severin off. Once she closed her room door, she excitedly took out the pill that Severin gave her and took a big whiff of it. "This is amazing! It's an elite-quality third-grade high-rank pill that will probably allow me to make a breakthrough to level one warrior emperor. Hehe! My boss might even give me a huge reward when I bring the other two pills back! Just thinking about it is getting me all excited!"Severin's handsome face appeared in Elsa's thoughts and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her lips. "I got lucky when I met such an amazing master. Why is he still roaming around in normal society if he's so powerful? He's also so proficient in alchemy that any sect would be more than happy to accept him! I'm so glad I could become his apprentice."By then, Severin and his family were already on the street. Sheila smiled and said, "You've got yourself a very pretty apprentice now! Her attainment level is als
Sheila also said excitedly to Severin, "Awesome! The combat technique you gave us previously was good, but it's not very high in terms of grade. This one even sounds so intimidating."Severin smiled and said, "Well, I need to prepare some combat techniques for you since your attainment is already on the verge of a breakthrough to warrior king. I personally learned this combat technique when I fought against Deborah from Shadraw. Her technique is good, but her attainment is so far behind mine that she would never be a match for me."Severin then paused briefly and said to the two women, "A person's combat ability has a lot to do with their level of attainment. After all, there is a big difference in attainment level, and the strength of a particular combat technique would be different too. For example, a warrior king could easily defeat a profound master.""What is Shadraw anyway? Why did the members of the organization attack you? Was that Deborah a woman? Why did she want to kill y
As soon as Severin finished speaking, he spotted Megan and Felicia walking over with Wendy and Lillie."Judging from their expressions, they're probably going to come and ask to us to continue shopping. We visited several places yesterday, and now we're going to have to visit other places again." Severin smiled helplessly. He did not really enjoy going out, but he had to because Megan and the others loved shopping.With that, they all left to enjoy themselves.The next morning, Severin brought them to Flalong Auction House. Unbeknownst to them, a fat man's interest was piqued when he spotted Severin's group from behind.That fat man was accompanied by several bodyguards. He ogled at Sheila and Diane and said with a perverted grin, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. When did our city have so many beautiful women? Why haven't I seen any of them before?" He rubbed his chin and began to look at the women's bodies unabashedly."What are you looking at, fatso? Is this the first time you've seen a woman?"
"Did you just say you reserved VIP Room One for him? Who is he, anyway? Why would you reserve for him a room that even I can't go in?" Jeremy kicked up a small fuss when he heard what Caroline said. He considered himself to be an upper-class person second only to a prince or a commander's son. He was a big shot, at least in Oolong City.Jeremy felt that it was an affront to the rules that Severin had been invited in before the auction started!Caroline glanced indifferently at Jeremy and said icily, "Our senior director made this arrangement, Mister Jeremy. You may take it up with her if you have any objections."After finishing speaking, Caroline smiled warmly at Severin and said, "This way, please."Everyone else looked on with envy as Severin and his group were led in by Caroline.A man from a second-tier family came up to Jeremy with several of his bodyguards. "What's going on, Jeremy? This is the first time a guest was brought in before the auction started."Jeremy looked at
"Isn't it such a waste to just leave it empty? Wouldn't it be good to earn more spiritual stones?" Megan asked blankly. She felt that the room would not have been utilized to its full potential if it was left empty.Before Caroline could explain, Diane smiled and said, "This is something that their auction house can be proud of. It's a sales method that reflects the true value of VIP Room One. The value of the room would be diminished if anyone can just fork out spiritual stones to enter."Caroline glanced at Diane in surprise and nodded in agreement. "Miss Diane is right. It's exactly as she has described. We don't just let anyone in here even if they give us a million low-grade spiritual stones. Even if we occasionally let some famous people in for a fee, they would have to pay ten million low-grade spiritual stones or a hundred thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.""But that's super expensive! We'll only be here for a couple of hours! We could save a lot if we go to another ro
"Wow, Severin, we've received some really good treatment today. I've never experienced anything like this before." Megan walked to the sofa and sat down. Aside from the sofa, there was also a bed there for the comfort of guests.Moreover, VIP Room One was bigger than most, and the area was estimated to be almost a hundred square meters.Sheila smiled and said, "It almost feels like a dream. I never thought that I'd get to enjoy this sort of treatment in a city as prosperous as Oolong City! I never even dared to dream of such things!"Megan teased. "It's all thanks to your good judgment that you found a good husband. My sister's the same too. Our family was against it back then because we feared that she might not have a good life with Severin. In hindsight, that was very shallow of us because my brother-in-law was a diamond in the rough."Severin smiled and walked to the window. At the balcony were some transparent curtains that opened to reveal the auction venue below. Time ticked
At that moment, a girl in a purple dress came out from VIP Room Three and stretched her waist. With a slender figure and lush black hair, she seemed to be in her early 20s. Her curves stood out when she stretched her waist, causing Jeremy's eyes to light up as he laid eyes on her figure and gulped.He looked at the bodyguards and whispered to them, "Have you seen her before? Why haven't I met her before? Anyone who can afford to spend the money and join the auction from one of the VIP Rooms is either rich or powerful, but she doesn't look familiar to me."Several bodyguards shook their heads after looking at her.After the girl stretched her waist, she turned around and looked in Jeremy's direction, where she saw Jeremy ogling her breasts. Her face soured immediately and she straightened herself before saying, "You pervert! What are you looking at? Is this your first time seeing such a beautiful woman?"Jeremy pondered over who that woman could be and concluded that she was not som
