"Dad! Dad!" Selene ran over with a smile as soon as he walked out to the yard."Selene!" Severin squatted down immediately, carried the cute little girl up, and kissed her chubby cheek gently."Does my dress look good, Dad? Mom bought it for me yesterday!" Severin could not help but laugh. "It does! You look good in everything!""How about we go for a walk, Selene? There is a small playground over there!" Severin smiled and brought Selene to play in the nearby playground.…At that moment, there was a meeting between the Blood-Drinker Gang's higher-ups."Damn! This is just despicable." Their gang leader, Tharan, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily."What happened?" A middle-aged woman looked at Tharan and asked."What could Severin's attainment be? Janvar and the five grandmasters that we sent there are all dead. We've lost contact with all of them!""Dead? All of them? But how?!" Everyone was speechless when they heard that. The first three people they sent had d
At that moment, Mick Wheatly—the gang leader of Mus Hall—was worrying about something as he sat in his room. Mus Hall had offended the Blood-Drinker Gang before, which gave the Blood-Drinker Gang an excuse to make a big fuss, saying that they should submit to the Blood-Drinker Gang and pay a considerable amount of money in offerings every month. Any disobedience would lead to the destruction of Mus Hall. Despite his reluctance in agreeing to such terms, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of the lives of Mus Hall's members."Don't you think they're being too tyrannical, Dad?" Mick's daughter, Candy, could not help but sigh when she saw the frown on his face. "They're being bullies!"Mick sighed. "Well, there isn't anything I can do about it, is there? Our hall master was powerful enough to be on the same level as the Blood-Drinker Gang's leader, but now that he's gone, we are no match for Tharan at all. Our deaths are all but certain if we don’t listen to them, and even though
Menkel smiled and said, "Hehe, he has offended the Blood-Drinker Gang in certain matters, and we did send a few of our men to kill him, but he killed them instead. We have been too busy with other matters lately to focus our attention on this, so we felt that it'd be best if you could help me kill him."After a pause, Menkel continued, "By the way, I should warn you that his attainment is probably about level eight or level nine grandmaster. It'd be wise to bring more people with you, and make sure their attainment isn't too low! You can't blame us for not warning you if he ends up killing everyone!""He's that strong?" Mick could not help but frown when he heard that. "It appears we do have to send some very powerful individuals base is so high, it seems that we do have to send out some very powerful people to deal with him. Does he have a backer, though? I wouldn't want our people to be attacked instead when we make our move on him. It'll be very troublesome if that happens."Menk
"I'll go!" Candy offered unexpectedly without waiting for the others to say anything."That is unacceptable. You've only just had a breakthrough and reached level nine grandmaster. It'll be too risky for you to go!" Mick objected right away. "Menkel mentioned earlier that the target might be a level eight or level nine grandmaster. What if he's a seasoned level nine grandmaster? What are you going to do then?"The middle-aged woman thought to herself and finally said to Mick, "Hall Master, I believe Candy here wants to go there to clear her mind a little. Perhaps it won't be much of a problem if I go with her?"Mick finally nodded and said, "Thank you for the trouble then, Lauren."Although Candy was very particular about not being followed by anyone, she knew that her father will stop her from going if Lauren did not follow her. "Okay, I'll head there with Aunt Lauren then. She's a level three profound master too, so I'm sure everything will be fine if I go with her!""Okay, you
"Sigh, that's enough. We're all members of Dracodeus Temple anyway, and I hope that we'll get the chance to meet our supreme leader someday too. If that happens, we wouldn't have to live under duress all the time!" Mick sighed and said helplessly."Forget about it. Even if we do meet the supreme leader, he might not be as reliable as we would hope him to be. It'd be much better for us to rely on ourselves!" Candy shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and then said to Lauren, "When shall we leave, Aunt Lauren?"Lauren smiled and said, "Tomorrow seems good. If we leave in the morning, we should arrive there by noon. It'll give us enough time to prepare before we set about finding information on Severin later in the day!""Okay!" Candy nodded. "Since Aunt Lauren and I are going on official business, shouldn't you give us more travel expenses or something?"Mick nearly fainted. He said to his beloved daughter, "You're just thinking about going shopping, aren't you? Couldn't you be a litt
Chewie smiled and said, "I should have arrived right about yesterday, but certain stuff held me up! No worries though. I'll serve that kid's head on a platter now that I'm here!" Following a brief pause, he continued, "Of course, if you can tell me where he's staying or where his usual routes are, then it'd make things a whole lot easier! His death will come sooner too, rather than later.""Sure, not a problem, I've been hoping for his death for a long time now!" Edward immediately explained Severin's situation to the six stars assassin. By his judgment, having such a skilled assassin would make it incredibly easy to kill his opponent.…Severin had nothing much to do that morning, so he played with Selene and rested at home after lunch.When it was almost time for the working class to clock off that evening, he received a call from his beautiful bodyguard, Abigail."Is something wrong, Abigail?" Severin frowned in puzzlement as he answered the phone since it was rare for the body
"Outside of the city?" Severin frowned and his face turned sullen. "Are they leaving Brookbourn? We won't know which city they're heading to if they're leaving Brookbourn!" After ending his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and said to them, "Do any of you know who has built villas or manors outside the city?"After thinking for a moment, Larry said, "Let me think. Aside from the big villa that the Cedar Gang built on a mountain, there seems to be one near a lake too! It's owned by Rufus of the Chavezes.""Rufus?" Severin frowned when he heard this.For some reason, he recalled the scene where Rufus knelt in front of him and licked his shoes last time. In addition, Rufus had not been unusually quiet in the past few days, and Severin was quite sure that Rufus was behind the kidnapping.As a precaution, however, he asked, "The Horsfields didn't build any big villas outside the city, did they?""Not at all," Larry said confidently."The Zelankos and the Longhorns do have vi
"Which way are we going?" Severin looked at the front and asked Larry.While trying to suppress his shocked heart, Larry pointed to the right. "To the right. They are not as quick as you because they must drive along the road. We can go from here straight to that hill. There's a lake at the front of the hill. His mansion is just beside the lake."After that, he still had a hard time calming down his heart. Based on Severin's speed, he must have reached that level. The level beyond the profound master.A mansion near the lake had its door opened. Two men were apprehending Diane in the mansion and escorted her to where Rufus and Manuel were."Mister Rufus, here's the woman you requested!" one of the men in a formal suit reported.Rufus took a look at Diane who looked furious and nodded. "Good, very good. Haha. Don't worry. I'm going to reward you two heftily after we go back!""Thank you, Mister Rufus!"The two men continued to apprehend Diane by grabbing her hands behind her."R
