Upon hearing it, Jada sighed. "Sigh. We shouldn't think about saving the money. We hired a two-stars assassin because we wanted to save. Look now. We have spent the money and Severin is still alive!"She recalled how she got slapped in the face and was asked to kneel down and apologize. Hatred had consumed her heart and she very much wanted Severin dead."Yes, yes, yes. Miss Jada is right. You shouldn't save money when you want to hire an assassin. Otherwise, it's just going to be a waste of money!" Edward nodded and said, "Oh. I got some good news for you guys. The killer organization is having a tenth-year anniversary. So after the discount, you can hire a four-stars assassin with the cost of the three-stars assassin.""Seriously?" Instantly, Easton felt spirited. If that was the case, it was quite reasonable and affordable."Yes. With three million dollars you can now hire a four-stars assassin. It's worth it. So why don't we just hire a four-star assassin this time?" Edward per
Jada, however, immediately said to Edward, "We've already paid so much money, Edward. Shouldn't it be okay for us to meet this assassin? We want to know if they're up to the job!"Easton immediately agreed. "Yeah, Edward! Let us meet the assassin. We'll feel more reassured that way!""Are you both saying that you doubt the abilities of a four stars assassin?" Edward frowned and asked coldly."No, not at all! It's just…the money we paid is no small amount, and I don't think it's that big of a deal to meet the assassin since we're employing them anyway," Jada protested.Their determination left Edward with no choice but to acquiesce. "Okay, okay. I'll make arrangements and contact you once he arrives!""Thanks for your trouble!" Jada smiled.After finishing their meal, they handed Edward the money to hire the assassin and left. When they were all gone, Edward immediately requested the presence of the bodyguard who was in charge of contacting the organization. "Hey, Kai. How much di
"But, Maurice…Severin hired the bodyguards for our own good. I'm not used to it either, but we both need to slowly learn to get used to it, okay?" Judith advised. "Severin would be worried if we don't have any bodyguards by our side. Didn't we always get bullied by Easton's people when they were sent to collect money from us? We don't have to be so scared anymore now that we have bodyguards with us!""Sigh, but it still feels so foreign to me!" Maurice could not help but sigh. He was a little speechless, after all, because it was very awkward to have two young and beautiful women accompanying him all the time."Okay, if you're still uncomfortable with it, then I'll hire some male bodyguards to protect you. That should be okay with you, right?" Severin could not help suggesting with a smile when he saw his father's uneasiness."But isn't that an even bigger waste of money?" After giving some consideration to Severin's idea, Maurice felt that it would be such a shame to spend extra mo
Frankie could not help but nod with satisfaction when he heard that. "Well done on your part, Carmen. We shall act tomorrow morning then. The conclusion of the opening ceremony is when their guard will be down, and when the time comes, the two of you will get a chance to practice your skills on that kid. Attack him simultaneously from left and right, and end his life right that instant. If he ends up overpowering the two of you, then I'll take matters into my own hands."Carmen and Leonard nodded with some excitement when they heard that.After all, they had been itching to find a worthy opponent to practice their abilities on after they reached a breakthrough in their training to the level of grandmaster. At long last, the chance that they had been waiting so long for finally came.The three of them got into the car, with Leonard getting into the driver's seat while Carmen and Frankie sat in the rear seat. Frankie had drunk some wine earlier, and he could not help but ogle at Carme
Victor, the head of the Stones, turned blue with anger when he thought of what happened the other day. He asked coldly, "I wonder whether Severin is still treating Larry's mother. Larry will have no use for him if his mother's illness has been cured. When that day comes, we'll just have our family's strongest bodyguards end Severin's life!"After a pause, Victor continued, "He may be powerful, but I'm confident he won't be able to go up against a lot of people. I don't think he'll even survive if we get more than two hundred of our people to attack him at once!"However, Jada smiled coldly. "There's no point, Dad. He's so powerful that we'd stand to lose many of our bodyguards even if they eventually manage to kill him. There's no need for that." After thinking about it, she said again, "Besides, didn't you always teach me we should always use money to solve problems that can be solved with money? Edward and I have already hired an assassin. We can just sit back and relax because his
Stanley was speechless for a moment. "What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me at sigh?""I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you're physically weak too. Try to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!" Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, "By the way, you're aware that I have medical skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?""Hell no! I know my body well, and it's not weak!" Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in truth, he was a little worried because Severin's observations had been spot-on. He recently realized that he could not last as long in bed anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when Severin pointed that out.Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any comments, they looked at Stanley somewhat oddly because they knew that Severin's medical skills were indeed good.
"Hehe, is that so? I'll keep my eyes peeled then!" Edward chuckled, but there was an underlying expression in his gaze. By his estimation, Diane would soon be his because Severin's days were numbered! Therefore, he viewed Severin's comments as nothing but a big fat joke."Haha, make sure you watch closely!" Severin laughed and did not take Edward seriously at all.Edward's lips twitched violently several times and he could only grit his teeth and say, "You should watch your step." He then turned to Diane and said, "Now's not too late for you to back out of your relationship with him. You'll regret it if you don't!" He left her a harsh reminder and then turned around and left without looking back.Over at the other end, the Chavezes had arrived too. When Rufus saw Severin, he gritted his teeth angrily and his face turned blue when he thought of the humiliation that he suffered a day ago. Manuel noticed his son's dampened mood and could not help but say, "How long has it been since th
Soon, everyone lined up to enter the venue, and the luxury cars in the plaza there stood out and attracted many an internet celebrity to either snap some pictures or do a live broadcast.Severin went in with the Shanahans, and everyone was either savoring some wine or enjoying some pastries in the lobby before the ceremony officially began. Some chatted with their business partners, while others struck up a conversation with the children of some upper-class families.Another first-tier upper-class family, the Zelankos, were in attendance as well. The daughter of the Zelankos, Robin Zelanko, looked at Severin and could not help herself from frowning. She then said to her father, "Dad, isn't that guy over there Diane's man?""That he is," answered her father, Harvin Zelanko. "Why are you suddenly interested in him?""I heard that Stanley Shanahan invited Charmaine Longhorn to a meal some days ago because he wanted to secure a quota, but his request had been categorically rejected.
