Trevor then asked, "Are you sure your men can put a fight against my men when your side has barely half the number of our bodyguards?"At that moment, however, one could see through the window that a middle-aged man was leading a group of men to surround the hotel. A number of those people barged in directly, and the total number of individuals that had arrived was probably at least several hundred."We're done for. The guys from Draco Hall are here!" Denzel's expression sank when he saw the situation outside."W-w-what are we supposed to do?" Diane was extremely anxious."Come here, Diane. Are you sure you want to die along with a poor nobody like Severin? Don't you care about your daughter at all?" Felicia squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Diane's arm, and dragged her to where the Shanahans were standing.William, who had also turned pale with fright, hurried over and took Diane's other arm in an attempt to help his wife pull Diane away from Severin."Think about Selene. How
Blade was nearly two meters tall. His body was particularly robust and he had bulging muscles. The short-sleeved T-shirt that he wore accentuated his chest muscles, and they were big enough to rival an average woman's bosom. His bronze-colored arm muscles instilled fear in people, while his thick eyebrows and sharp eyes were brimming with might.When he arrived, he rubbed his bald head and asked Trevor in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, who do you want me to kill?"Trevor had yet to even utter a single word when Easton said impatiently, "It's him! That b*stard ruined my wedding and even tore off one of my fingers! Kill him. No, wait, killing him would be going too easy on him. I want you cut off his meat bit by bit, and have the pieces thrown it into the river for the fish to—"Before he could end his sentence, Blade gave Easton a backhand slap that left Easton feeling all dizzy."B-B-Blade? You hit the wrong person, didn't you? I want you to hit Severin! Not me!" Easton covered his face
Blade's lip twitched a few times. His expression became gloomy and a murderous aura began to surge all around him. "The ignorant ones are always the bravest! How dare you rebuff a gesture from the Draco Hall's second-in-command!"Severin smiled coldly and shot back, "I don't care if the first-in-command is here! I'm not going anywhere today unless I get my forty thousand back!""Have you completely lost it, Severin? Apologize to him!" Diane was so anxious that she was on the brink of tears! Losing a hand would be better than losing a life, yet he remaiend just as impudent as he always was!"Do you see it now, Diane? He's still thinking about money at this kind of time! I honestly think that being poor made him crazy enough to provoke Blade!" Megan said, then added with a snicker, "You'd be better off coming back with us and considering Edward. One and a half million is a very generous offer!"Diane shot Megan an irked glare. "Don't mention that name to me again!" Edward was a name
"What! Did Master Blade actually..." Many of Blade's subordinates were dumbfounded to see that Blade had staggered back!Blade might be famous for his skills with a blade, but even a punch from him would be difficult for any random person to block. It was therefore all the more surprising that Severin actually took the punch head on."Let's attack that kid together!""Yeah, why don't we all hack him to death!"Blade's subordinates held up their machetes and glared at Severin, and they almost certainly had their own set of combat skills. He frowned as he stared intently at the ring on Severin's hand. The wearer of that ring was someone they ought to revere, and it never occurred to them that someone like Severin would actually be wearing it.He smiled coldly, and said to his subordinates, "I know what I'm doing. It's not yet time for any of you to make a move!"At that moment, Blade wanted to bring his men away, because the person in front of him might just be their superior, some
A smile that was neither self-important nor self-abasing unfolded across Severin's face."This guy is Mister Henry's friend? That can't be possible!""For the love of God, that kid was invited to have a meal with Mister Henry when even people like us aren't qualified to do so?"A number of wealthy businessmen were completely shell-shocked to hear Henry's words. Some of them even wondered if they were dreaming."How did he get to know Mister Henry?" George, the head of the Shanahans, frowned as well. Everyone there had been trying to get close to someone as powerful as Henry, yet none ever had even the slightest chance of succeeding. By contrast, Severin seemed to be on such friendly terms with Henry that the latter had took the initiative to treat him to a meal!Henry turned around and looked at Lucy while saying, "Aren't you Severin's ex-fiancee? Don't you think you should return the dowry now that you're getting married to someone else instead of him? And that one-hundred-and-
To everyone's surprise, Diane frowned and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to join. You can go with them yourself, Severin!"The smile on Henry's face froze in an instant, for her rebuff was downright discourteous!The Shanahans were all taken aback, and William immediately stepped forward to say, "What are you talking about, Diane? Mister Henry invited you to dinner because he thinks highly of you. How could you refuse to go?"He then smiled in a flattering manner and said to Henry, "Mister Henry, my wife has been a little spoiled since childhood, but it's nothing more than a bit of temper. Please don't take her actions to heart!"Catherine was just as startled too. "What are you talking about? You need to go, Diane! It is unbecoming of you to refuse an invitation from Mister Henry!"The Shanahans had been dreaming of getting such an opportunity, yet they were never fortunate enough to get one. On the other hand, Diane had received that privilege when Henry invite
"Severin, you b*stard! You just had to ruin my daughter's wedding because you can't marry her, didn't you? It's not like you'll achieve anything with your actions. My daughter will marry Easton anyway!" Helga cursed at Severin as she was still resentful that her family had to return the 190,000 dollars.Severin could not bother to pay attention to her and looked at Denzel with a smile. "Thanks for your help today, Mister Denzel. I owe you one, so if you ever need my help in the future, just say the word."Denzel was secretly delighted to hear that. In fact, he was confident that Henry would help Severin after arriving there, and that was the only reason he dared to stand up against Blade and Trevor. Had he not known that Henry would show up and speak for Severin, he might not have dared to do what he did that day. Having Severin owe him a favor was a good thing of course, since he believed that someone whom Henry thought highly of would definitely be someone extraordinary!"You're w
Diane still had not taken too kindly to Severin, but at the thought of her daughter and the sight of Severin's sincere expression earlier, she eventually gave in and allowed him to hold her hand. As they reached the door to her home, she took out her key and opened it. Inside, Selene was sitting quietly on an old sofa while watching cartoons."Mom! Is Dad back?" Selene immediately ran over when she heard her mother open the door.Severin walked in, and when he gazed upon the four-year-old girl in front of him, the strong connection he felt from their blood relationship made his heart skip a beat."Mom…this man…is my dad?" Selene held Diane's hand and asked timidly. Severin was a stranger, after all, and it was only natural for her to feel wary of him.Diane frowned slightly, but a smile soon unfurled across her face. She squatted down, caressed Selene's face, and nodded. "That's right, Selene. He's your father. Weren't you looking forward to his return? Well, here he is!""I'm so
