At that moment, Megan realized her action was inappropriate and quickly let go of Benjamin. Her face flushed red as she was feeling embarrassed. "I got too happy because I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. Do you know second-grade low-rank alchemist is so much stronger than first-grade high-rank alchemist?"Severin nodded. "That's right. Your status is different now that you're a second-grade low-rank alchemist because there are just a handful of second-grade low-rank alchemists whereas there are a lot of first-grade high-rank alchemists in this world. To some alchemists, it is their dream to become second-grade alchemists""Did you hear that? I'm not the only one who thinks that. Even Severin thinks the same way too," Megan giggled.Benjamin smiled humbly. "I'm still a far stretch from you. But I'm really satisfied with where I am now."Megan replied, "Of course. Severin is like a god. It's hard to be like him but I think you're very wonderful. Hehe."Just then, Benjamin
Benjamin nodded. "Don't worry, master. I promise I won't go around bragging to people about it. Humility is a virtue, that much I am aware of. I usually do alchemy by myself in my room. I never show it off to other people."Not long later, Catherine and others came to visit after knowing that Severin and the others had returned. Needless to say, Felicia was eager to tell everyone about her experience at Oolong City.Diane and Sofia went shopping later in the day. Meanwhile, Severin asked to see Maddie and Eustace. He gave them the pills that Benjamin had prepared for himself and his bodyguards."Reaching level six warrior king is an achievement to be proud of, especially since you're the leader among the Shanahans' bodyguards." Severin looked at the two of them and smiled. "Take these pills and distribute them to the rest. Having everyone improve their attainment would be very much ideal."Eustace expressed his utmost gratitude to Severin. "Thank you, sir. My life, and that of my s
Rachel smiled. "We've only been able to get the information a day ago. We knew that you were coming back from Oolong City soon, so we were planning to tell you after you return.""There's not much news about them though," Gracie added. "Capra Hall is now in hiding at a very dangerous place because they seemed to have offended a certain secluded family before. That's all we've managed to hear about them.""This is going to be very troublesome. Is their hall master all right?" Severin frowned with a stern expression.Although a secluded family might not be as strong as some sects, their strength was in no way inferior to them. Severin might not know the exact situation that Capra Hall was facing, but they were most certainly overpowered by the secluded family if they were forced to hide.Gracie continued, "After asking around, we've come to know that this family is known as the Jorgens. From our understanding, they're still sending people to locate and hunt down Capra Hall. This sugg
Sofia glanced awkwardly at Sheila. "You're exaggerating, Sheila! My attainment isn't that high! I can hardly compare with Severin! His attainment is much higher than mine."Larry exchanged glances with Mick and smirked. Judging from the situation, Sofia probably planned to live there permanently. Besides, she also addressed Severin as just 'Severin', which seems to imply a certain degree of affection and intimacy. Even if she was not Severin's wife, she might be planning to become one of his wives."Why are you all here, by the way?" Diane looked at everyone and asked curiously. "Is something the matter?"Larry explained their earlier discussions to Diane."That's amazing news! Now that you've found another hall, your group will get even bigger!" Megan remarked with glee.Rachel then said, "Technically… we haven't managed to find them yet. We just have information on them, and we don't know how they're doing right now. I heard that the Jorgens are still sending people to hunt them
"Is it that dangerous?" Sheila frowned when she heard that. "Doesn't that mean I won't be able to go with you?"Diane smiled bitterly and said, "It sounds like a very interesting place, and I would've loved to see it. But I don't think we'll be of any help at all if we go along. We might even cause you more trouble!"Rachel then persuaded, "That is a very dangerous place indeed. Our supreme leader is no doubt strong enough to protect you, but he's not going there to enjoy himself. It's far from ideal for the both of you to go tag along."Severin nodded in agreement. "Yes. I'll go alone."Sofia frowned after hearing that. Her attainment was strong enough, and she wanted to follow Severin there. However, she was far too embarrassed to speak up. It seemed a little inappropriate for her to do so when even his two wives Diane and Sheila did not follow him.Sheila glanced at Sofia and had a sudden idea. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey, if we can't follow you, then why don't you let S
Both Sheila and Diane believed that sparks of love would only develop if Severin was alone with Sofia."Let's all have dinner together later. You're already here anyway, and we ought to celebrate the good news that you've successfully located Capra Hall!" Severin said to Larry and the other hall masters."Don't mind if we do, then," Larry said with a smile.Megan then offered, "How about we go to my restaurant? We got interrupted by Franko the last time I brought you all there, so I think it's about time I make it up to you."When Severin heard that, he smiled and said, "Sure! I take it you're treating us, then?"Megan shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and said, "Of course! It's no biggie. It's an honor that you're willing to have dinner at my restaurant. After all, you're all big shots here in South Link City."Larry, Mick, and the rest of the hall masters could only smile. Their attainment was very high, and there were a lot more strong individuals within their halls. In the
When Severin was saying goodbye to Diane, Sheila pulled Sofia to one side. "I understand you, Sofia. We're both women, after all. Diane and I can tell that you genuinely like Severin." Sheila then paused for a moment before continuing, "Going out with him on his mission is a great opportunity that you should seize firmly."Sofia felt a little embarrassed. "Are you sure you don't mind?""Of course. We wouldn't have encouraged you if we didn't." Sheila reassured with a smile. "The two of you will be spending a lot of time together, so try your best to get closer to him. Better yet, you can go ahead and boldly make a move. Severin is a numbskull who won't take the initiative to get closer to you, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel any attraction. I only succeeded in winning his heart because I was bold enough to take the initiative."Sofia's eyes lit up and she became more confident. "Really? It's a shame that I have to leave with him soon. When I come back, I want to hear all about
"Yes. I don't want anyone to be shocked by what they see." Severin smiled and continued to walk. He hardly noticed that everything he said was already making Sofia think wildly.Sofia was completely speechless. Severin used to carry himself in such a proper and dignified manner. She did not expect him to be so perverted! She could not help but remember what Sheila said to her before about how Severin was surely attracted to her despite never making a move. Sofia took it to mean that Severin was a very lust-driven man.Even so, the speed at which everything was progressing was a little too fast for Sofia. She was caught completely off guard. He never said anything to express his love for her, yet he was already about to bring her into the woods to do that with her.Sofia felt conflicted. She longed to take her relationship with Severin to the next level, but everything was going too quickly for her. She continued to follow Severin, but her pace slowed more and more. She felt that her
