"Take it easy, Quintus. He's offended us before, and he's even pissed off the son of one of Brookbourn's second-tier families! His days are numbered from the beginning, and we even hired a very skilled assassin to end his life. There's no point for you to get yourself worked out about someone who already has one foot in the grave!" Jada immediately persuaded Quintus."You hired an assassin?" Quintus seemed to disagree with their decision. "Don't you think you're going too easy on him to kill him like that? I want to see him die by my hand for humiliating me like that!"Victor stepped forward immediately and smiled awkwardly as he said, "I'm sorry that my bodyguards were incompetent. I never thought that he'd be no match for them even when they outnumbered him. I wonder what level grandmaster is he."At that moment, Quintus's two bodyguards had already got up from the ground, but both of them were clutching their chests in pain as they got up.One of them said, "He must be a profoun
"Okay, we promise we'll bring bodyguards with us when we go out in the future."Maurice could only laugh sheepishly. He looked at Severin's angry expression and knew that he only did that because he cared about them."The Novaks might be stronger than they look, Severin. Aren't you afraid of them at all? I'm worried they might try to cause trouble after you demanded three hundred thousand from them and told Quintus to kneel before us!" Judith was still a little worried when she thought about it and felt uneasy throughout the journey home."Don't worry about the Novaks, Mom. We don't have to be afraid of them at all. Trust me!" Severin smiled. "You do realize that it's not just the Longhorns that have a good relationship with us. Even Larry from Draco Hall calls me his sworn brother! Don't worry, okay!"Maurice and Judith breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Severin's reassurance."Sir, a bald man just showed up outside the villa with five people with him," Lillie ran in all of
Janvar knew what his pig-brained comrade was thinking and could not help but smile and say, "You have a point. It would be such a pity to kill them, and it just so happens that there are six of them. We can have one each then, haha! I call dibs on the one with the biggest t*ts!""Disgusting!" Wendy was so incensed by what she heard that she clenched her fists and glared viciously at the six degenerate men in front of her."Let us take them on, master! It's been a while since we've gotten some exercise, and they're right when they say that we can go against them one each!" Kiera said to Severin."Can we kill them, master? Just looking at them makes me sick!" Abigail said angrily.Their responses elicited a smile from Severin as he said, "Sure. I'll leave them to you then! Make sure to kill them!" Severin then looked at the male bodyguards and instructed them, "The girls will deal with them in a bit, and all you have to do is dispose of the corpse!""Understood!" The male bodyguards
"Look! Do you see those bodyguards carrying out several bodies and throwing them in the boot of the car? Are they going to dispose of those bodies?" Quintus was startled to see what was happening.Jada then immediately pulled the car aside and looked at them from a distance. When she saw that it was exactly as Quintus described, she could not help remarking, "Someone probably went to cause trouble at Severin's place again but got killed in the end. He sure has made a lot of enemies!""A lot? How many?" Quintus then remarked with a grin, "I don't care how many enemies he's made, but he's going to get himself killed for offending me!"Jada then said, "Aside from us, he offended Easton Lough and Edward Horsfield too. Oh, and his wife, Diane, is very beautiful too. Some of the rich young men call her the most beautiful woman in Brookbourn, and Rufus Chavez once tried plotting against them because he wanted to kill Severin and make Diane his!"Quintus could not help but feel a little mo
Severin picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that Sheila was the one calling him. He could not help but frown because she was an unusually difficult girl to deal with. Unfortunately, ignoring her call would be unwise because she was the daughter of Brookbourn Mansion's leader.After putting some more thought into it, Severin accepted the call with some reluctance. "Hello, Sheila. Is something the matter?" he asked as soon as the call connected."My handsome Severin! Please come as soon as you can! My dad just vomited blood this afternoon, and now he's unconscious on the bed! I don't know what to do right now!" Sheila's voice sounded helpless over the phone and she was already choking up.Severin frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "But, when I went there this morning, your father kicked me out and accused me of being a quack with no medical ethics. If I'm honest, I have no intention of treating people who make such remarks about my ability!"Sheila w
"Let's head on in then!" Severin felt a headache coming on when he looked at the lovestruck little girl in front of him, so he walked briskly into the house and left Sheila following right behind him.Before long, they arrived at the door of Zachariah's room, but Severin stopped outside the door just as they were about to enter. He motioned for Sheila to stop and keep quiet too.There was a discussion going on inside the room, and the people inside comprised the Ballards' relatives who lived at Zachariah's home.One of the men could not help but say, "Do you think the head of our family is going to die like this? He hasn't woken up yet, and judging from his complexion, his life is probably in grave danger!""Sheila went downstairs to pick Severin up, and I wonder if that guy is even able to cure his illness. This is just too strange. He was fine earlier this morning, but then he vomited blood and passed out all of a sudden!" a woman said.The man sighed. "I don't know what's going
At that moment, the door opened and Severin walked in with Sheila. She looked calmly at Sean and Darcy, who felt a little guilty when she stared at him.Sean thought for a while and said to Severin, "Mister Severin, you need to save the head of our family. He vomited blood all of a sudden this afternoon and passed out soon after! He hasn't woken up since then. I wanted to get someone to send him to the hospital, but Sheila says that you can save him because you're aware of his condition!"Severin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. He'll live through this now that I'm here!""That's…that's great." Sean froze for a moment and forced a smile, but there was an imperceptible look of disappointment in his eyes.Severin took out a small box, placed it to one side, and took out several silver needles as he turned to Sean and Darcy. "You may excuse yourselves. Sheila can stay here and keep watch. Mister Zachariah will wake up soon, and all you need to do is wait downstairs!""Is that s
Severin was speechless for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Sheila truly was a master at taking advantage of the situation!Zachariah frowned, and it was evident that he had been put in a tight spot by Sheila's proposal. Judging from how Zachariah reacted, Severin knew that the man still did not think too highly of him, but he was nonetheless quite happy that the other party looked down on him because he had always intended to keep a proper distance from Sheila. He immediately smiled and said, "I can't accept that either. Please don't be silly, Miss Sheila! You're Mister Zachariah's treasured daughter, and it'll be a big loss for the Ballards if you marry me!"As he spoke, he removed the silver needles one by one and changed the subject without giving Sheila a chance to interrupt. "Like I said earlier this morning, you were poisoned. There was an obscene amount of poison in the mouthful of black blood that you spat out earlier. What I did was force your bo
