Diane rolled her eyes at Severin. "Of course not. If I got jealous just because another woman gave you a business card, then I'd probably spend my whole life being miserable!""Alright then, it's about time we head back. Don't forget our celebrations at the hotel tonight!" Catherine could not be happier. Everything that happened to the Shanahans that day was a positive development, and she firmly believed that they could soon rise to become a second-tier family if they could keep the momentum going.After pondering over their newfound fortunes, she said to Severin, "By the way, you should visit the Zelankos tomorrow and help check on their old lady's health. It'd be best if you can help treat her because then the Zelankos would owe us a favor. We can leverage that at a later date to establish more business cooperations with them.""That's right, Severin," George chimed in. "And you mustn't offend Sheila too. She seems interested in you, and our family's future will be even more secu
Severin and Diane were just about to reach the car when Severin sensed the somewhat rhythmic footsteps of a man and a woman coming from either side of him. They were walking at a speed that could not be considered slow, and though it seemed like nothing unusual, there was something about it that was different from the norm. Severin was instantly able to sense that those two individuals were elite fighters. Moreover, he could not help but raise his guard because he could feel them targeting him."Walk slower behind me, Diane!" Severin quickened his pace all of a sudden and walked ahead of Diane, who frowned because she did not know why he suddenly decided to quicken his pace.As she was just starting to wonder what was on Severin's mind, Leonard and Carmen had already appeared in front of Severin. The two of them attacked Severin simultaneously from either side, and they both produced a dagger that they stabbed right at Severin."Ah!" Diane yelled when she saw what happened."What's
"Haha, it's over now!" Frankie was elated! Though he initially thought that the target would be difficult to deal with, it seemed that his worries had turned out to have been misplaced.At that moment, however, Severin placed his hands on the ground and spun his body, enabling him to kick Leonard and Carmen directly in their abdomen."Gah!" The two of them flew several meters back after being kicked.Severin squatted down on the ground and struck a cool pose as he looked at the two people who struggled to get up after being kicked. He pointed his fingers at them and said, "The two of you are too soft!""How in the hell did you react so quickly?" Leonard massaged his abdomen, gritted his teeth, and exchanged a glance with Carmen before charging toward Severin again."I won't hold back since you're asking for it!" Severin could not be bothered to toy around with them and launched himself forward like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of his opponents
Frankie felt that the young man in front of him was an enigma."Send my greetings to the grim reaper." Severin smiled coldly, then rushed over again in a blink of an eye.Though Frankie still wanted to resist, Severin slapped away the old man's hand. The next second, he grabbed the man's head and gave it a light twist. A crisp cracking sound was heard, and Frankie's head fell limply to one side. Severin then released his grip, sending Frankie's body collapsing on the ground."Go over and help him! Why are you just standing here?" When George saw that the fight had ended, he stood up and kicked the two bodyguards standing beside him.The two bodyguards were speechless, and one of them immediately answered, "But sir…it's done. The three of them are already dead. Mister Severin is far too strong. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his movements were as smooth as the water's flow!"George then said, "Are they dead? Ahem, that's good then. You should go over and help dispose of th
The Ballards and the Zelankos had left much earlier, and they just so happened to miss the thrilling encounter.However, several wealthy businessmen had not left yet, and they were all in awe after witnessing Severin's skills."I finally understand why Mister Gideon values Severin that much. It's not just medical skills that he's good at. He's a superbly good fighter too!" One of the wealthy businessmen whispered.Another wealthy businessman said, "Severin is Miss Diane's husband, and it'd be best if we avoid offending the Shanahans. If we manage to secure a chance to cooperate with them in any business-related matters, we should make the most of it to build a relationship with them. Once the Shanahans become a second-tier family or even a first-tier family in the future, it won't be that easy to establish connections with them anymore!"Jada sighed. "Let's just leave. Guess I'm just down on my luck now that the one-and-a-half-million was wasted just like that!""Was it that expen
"Oh? Well, what are you waiting for then? We won't be joining you to meet the assassin, but I'll drive you to the hotel." Victor was overjoyed. "Severin must've offended quite a lot of people, but if you didn't hire those assassins from earlier, then who did?"A cunning look appeared in Jada's eyes as she mulled over the possible people who could have hired the assassins from earlier. "I know! It must be Rufus! I heard that Rufus likes Diane too, and Severin offended him before as well.""Haha, Severin's lucky to be able to survive this long, but his days are numbered if he keeps offending everyone he meets. He's overestimating himself if he thinks he can get away with offending both the Chavezes and the Horsfields!" Victor finally felt a lot less angry after hearing what Jada said.…When Jada arrived at the VIP room, Edward and Easton were already waiting there."Hasn't the assassin arrived yet?" Jada asked as she sat down."Not yet, but soon!" Edward answered.Easton then nod
Edward walked to the door and opened it, whereupon a sultry-looking woman in a side-slit dress walked in. The woman's height was about five foot nine, and she had a very good figure. Her sexy and slender legs were exposed from time to time through the slit of her dress, sparking racy thoughts in whoever laid eyes on them."I present to you our assassin, Black Rose! Please come on in!"Edward closed the door, then gestured in a gentlemanly manner as he introduced the assassin to Jada and Easton. Upon seeing the assassin's stellar figure, fair-skinned face, charming eyes, and icy temperament, Easton could not help but gulp at how smoking hot that woman was.When Jada saw that the assassin strut in with a sexy gait, she was not happy at all and asked coldly, "Are you sure you hired a proper assassin and not just a woman with a pretty face?""Of course she's a proper assassin! She's the four stars assassin whose code name is Black Rose!" Edward answered directly.The assassin chuckled
Black Rose ate a bit of food and left soon after.After she left, Edward smiled. "So, are the two of you satisfied?"Easton smiled and said, "Hahaha, of course, of course! She has a stunning figure! It's just a dam shame that she's an assassin. Anyone who lays a hand on her will be toast!""That's why she calls herself Black Rose. Roses may be beautiful, but they're also full of thorns!" Jada remarked."Right then. I'll pay for the meal if we're done eating. How about we raise one last glass and drink a toast to Severin's early death? Hahaha!" Edward stood up and proposed. He was very satisfied with the assassin he hired because he believed that the assassin's sexy figure would be very useful in seducing Severin. He would almost certainly take the bait, and death would soon follow once he fell for her charm.After their toast, Edward went to pay the bill. They then left the hotel with Jada and Easton following Edward from behind. The two of them then saw Edward off as he got into
