The old wacko never told Severin that whoever wore the ring would become the supreme leader, and he felt as if he had been given a huge headache with the responsibility of handling such a force. After all, the force established by the old wacko was divided into twelve smaller ones, and Severin did not have the faintest idea where the rest of them were."Hehe, it's hilarious when you say that!" Candy laughed from the side. Before long, the two of them reached a famous nearby restaurant, and they prepared to enter the premises as soon as the car was parked."It's been a while, Severin. What a coincidence!" To Severin's surprise, a familiar voice came from behind before he could enter the restaurant with Candy.Severin frowned immediately and turned around to see Lucy, who was holding Cain's arm."I didn't expect you and Cain to be here too!" Severin remarked while chiding them in his heart. Lucy was in Cain's embrace, and Cain had his arm around Lucy's waist. As expected, Severin kne
Severin looked at the fat man in front of him and persuaded, "You've been abroad for several years, Cain, and you don't have the slightest idea of Lucy's character. She's a scheming gold-digger extraordinaire! Did you really think she's with you because she fell in love with you? She just thinks you're rich! Better think twice before you're in too deep!" Severin paused for a moment before finally saying, "You'll one day regret being with her!"However, he did not expect Cain to hold such extreme views, for Cain smiled at Severin and said, "Regret? I won't regret it at all! I'm well aware that she loves me for my money, but I don't mind at all! It's because I have money that I can satisfy her vanity!" He even seemed a little proud when he said that. "I couldn't get her in the past because I'm not handsome, and I didn't have any money either. Things are different now. Even though I haven't turned into a handsome hunk, I'm rich now, and I'm content with having her! At the very least, I w
"Sir!" The dozen or so men greeted Cain in unison after arriving there."At ease." Cain nodded lightly and told them to stand guard there. He then pointed to Severin and Candy, who had already taken their seat in the restaurant and was making their order. "Give that couple a good beating when they leave the restaurant, then call me so we can all humiliate that man!""Yes, sir!" The dozen or so men responded immediately and then waited at one side.Their imposing manner delighted Lucy greatly, and she felt that she had chosen the right man. Cain seemed to be a very capable individual who was rich and had many people under his command too."By the way, Cain, I just wanted to remind you that Severin is a master fighter. Even though you brought a lot of your men over, I'm still worried that they're not a match for him. I can feel that Severin will have no problems going against all of them at once!" Lucy thought for a moment and decided to remind Cain.In response, Cain said confident
"No, but darling, my wife! We've been together for years now. You won't leave me, will you?" Easton regarded Lucy as the last good thing in his life, because Lucy's family was doing rather well and had several million worth in assets. Although he could not bring himself to ask her for money, the Orwells had only one daughter, which meant that he would receive support from her family in the future as long as she married him.That, coupled with the Loughs' experience in doing business, made him believe that there was hope for a comeback as long as he had a bit of money. Moreover, the Loughs did not owe a lot of money, and the total amount they owed was about three hundred thousand dollars at most. That sum was not that big in Easton's eyes, and since he was a poor man, it would be difficult for him to have a beautiful woman like Lucy to be his wife. He regretted his actions since the day before, and when he saw Lucy there at the restaurant, he immediately mustered up his courage to try
Lucy did not even bother to look at him. She merely took out ten bucks from her wallet and threw it on the ground. "Well, since we've been together for a few years now, why don't you take this and get some beer to drink? Giving you this money won't make me look that heartless, right? Haha!"She then turned around without looking back at him and walked over to take Cain's arm as they entered the restaurant."I'm not a beggar, Lucy!" Easton gritted his teeth and said as he looked at the humiliating paper bill on the ground. He picked it up, tore it into several pieces, and walked to the side of the road. When he walked up to a bench by the roadside, he lay down on it as tears dripped uncontrollably down his face.Unbeknownst to him, an old man happened to be passing by at that moment. The old man had white hair and a white beard, and he wore a strange long gown that seemed a little out of place with the fashion in the city.He looked at Easton and could not help but frown. "Tsk, tsk.
"Wouldn't I need a long time to achieve that? I want him to die right now!" Easton's eyes were filled with unbridled hatred as he gritted his teeth.The old man smiled in response. "Haha, with your good physique and talent, you'll have no problem dominating a small city like Brookbourn within a year as long as you agree to be my apprentice. Just imagine how strong you'll eventually become if you train with me for another two or three years!"Seduced by the old man's promise of power, a gleam flashed in Easton's eyes and he nodded. "All right. I'll spare them for now. There will be plenty of time for me to get revenge on them once I'm done with my training!" He then knelt and kowtowed to the old man. "Master, please accept this bow from your apprentice!""Wonderful! This is perfect!"The old man nodded in satisfaction. "I'll give you an hour to say your last farewells to your family. Once that hour is up, I'll bring you out of Brookbourn. I have something urgent to handle, so after
"What's on your mind, sir?" Candy smiled awkwardly and asked when she saw that Severin had stopped talking all of a sudden.Her question snapped Severin back to his senses as he said with a smile, "Oh, nothing. I just felt that change comes at you fast in this world!""Hehe!" Candy smiled and asked, "Do you think so? You used to be a student, but now you've become our supreme leader—a man among men! Now you can spend on expensive stuff without having to worry at all. Shouldn't you be happy?"Severin nodded. "You're right. I should be happy. After all, it takes time to know a person's true nature, and some people only reveal their colors when you know them for a long time. I'm glad I can protect my family now, and I'm content with making them happy!" He felt much better after remembering his parents, Diane, and his lovely daughter Selene."Let's have a toast, Supreme Leader!" Candy was unaware that Severin had reminisced about a lot of things in just a few short minutes and raised h
"Hehe, his wife's name is Diane, and she's the eldest daughter of the Shanahans. She's very experienced in life, and she's also known to be a stereotypical cold-hearted businesswoman. Many rich guys deemed her the number one most beautiful woman in Brookbourn, which is probably why many of them hate Severin to the core!"Lucy sneered coldly. "She may be good-looking, but she's incredibly stupid! She got pregnant with Severin's child after a one-night stand, and to make things worse, she decided to keep the baby! The Shanahans were just a third-tier family at the time, and her grandmother valued their reputation above all else. So..." She recounted Severin's entire relationship with Diane.Cain admired Diane even more when he heard that. "Based on what you told me, she sounds like a pretty good person. She kept the baby, raised her child, and even waited for Severin for five years. Such women are far and few in between nowadays!"Lucy did not expect Cain to lavish so much praise on D
