The rest of the Shanahans could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the crowd soon dispersed. Once everyone was gone, Felicia chastised Severin, "Where did you run off to, Severin? You're lucky that Mister Valerian is a magnanimous person, otherwise, we'd be in trouble if he's offended!"Severin said nonchalantly, "Relax, he's a big shot who once led thousands of troops to war. Why would he be unhappy over such an insignificant matter? It's fine, so don't worry!"Nevertheless, Felicia rolled her eyes at Severin. "Just because you say it's fine doesn't mean it is! You shouldn't have been so rude, you know? Did you think about the repercussions our family would have to suffer if he'd been a petty person?"Diane persuaded. "There's no need to worry so much about it, Mom. Isn't everything fine right now? Besides, Mister Valerian even said that he wants to sit at the same table with Severin and have some drinks with him!"Severin smiled. "By the way, could you join me later, Diane?"
"But I can't possibly accept that, Zenoah. After all, it's a very precious item passed down within your family!" Though Severin knew deep down that it was a genuine treasure worth taking, he remained courteous and humble despite wanting to take it immediately.After all, it would make him look greedy if he were to take a family heirloom without the slightest hesitation.Felicia, who was watching from one side, had a glimmer in her eyes as she took out it from Zenoah. She then rolled her eyes at Severin and said, "He's offering it to you out of sincerity, so you can't just refuse it like that! Otherwise, they won't be able to live with themselves if you reject it!"Zenoah was unaware of the enigma contained within the jade pendant, so he nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mister Severin. I'd feel bad for the rest of my life if you won't accept it!""I understand. Thank you very much for your generosity then!" Severin could only smile awkwardly and say yes."Thank you, Mister Severin!" Zeno
"Miss Diane! Is there something I can help you with?" Keagan smiled and asked when he saw Diane coming over to him."Wasn't it Mister Valerian who led a team of people to rescue you and your sister? Why did you have to kneel and thank my husband? Could it be a misunderstanding?" Diane asked him.Keagan replied with a surprised expression, "Don't you know, Miss Diane? Your husband seems to be a rather good friend to Valerian. When we were held hostage by one of Falcodom's powerful organizations, it was a phone call from Mister Severin that led Mister Valerian to bring his people and investigate the situation before rescuing us and wiping out that organization!"There was a surge of tumult in Diane's heart as soon as she heard that, since she had never expected something like that to happen.Keagan noticed her surprised look, so he glanced at his surroundings before whispering, "Miss Diane, my father told us that Mister Severin is one of those quiet, low-profile, godlike savants. I b
Severin's attention remained on the jade pendant. He was confident that there was something desirable contained within, and though he did not know its exact contents, he was nevertheless certain that it would be a waste to let Felicia have it.As he pondered over his options, he spotted Megan having some tidbits alone. An idea popped up in his mind and he began walking toward her."Megan, can I…umm…ask for your help?" Severin walked over and asked her with a smile.When Megan heard that, she returned the smile. "What do you need me to do, Brother-in-Law? I'll do it as long as it's within my ability!"Megan's attitude toward Severin had changed completely because he had shown himself to be rich and incredibly capable. She felt that the Shanahans' had prospered in recent times due in no small part to Severin, and things would certainly not have been that good for them had it not been for him. Her dreams of driving a luxury car and buying whatever she wanted could not have been realiz
"A hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, you say? Well, since you are my brother-in-law, I'll go all out for you! After all, it was Mister Zenoah who gave the jade pendant to you in the first place, and it's not right for Mom to take it away!"Megan immediately changed her tune when she heard Severin's improved offer, and she was all smiles as she agreed to Severin's request.When the two of them finished chatting, Sheila walked over shyly and lowered her head. Like a misbehaving child, she said to Severin, "I'm sorry, Severin. I asked you where you were without thinking too much because I didn't know you weren't at the Shanahans."Severin smiled. "Don't beat yourself up about it. Mister Valerian didn't blame me, did he? And besides, I'm sure you didn't mean it.""Hehe, I knew you would forgive me!" Sheila giggled and a smile appeared on her face. She then grabbed Severin's arm."Take it easy with the body contact, Miss Sheila." Severin felt embarrassed and immediately pushed her
"Mister Theo, my man was beaten to a pulp by the person named Severin. The doctor said that he may have difficulty walking even if his leg is fully healed, and he would likely need to use crutches for the rest of his life. You must get justice for him!" Lucy said impassionedly with reddened eyes. "Severin destroyed his attainment too. From now on, Cain said that he might only have the fighting strength of a grandmaster at most, and he will never be able to achieve another breakthrough again.""Severin, right? Do not fret. I'll get someone to kill him. He has it coming for him!"The man looked at Cain before saying to Lucy, "You may rest assured, Miss Lucy. Mister Cain and I are sworn brothers, and I'm a level nine profound master as well. I believe that there wouldn't be anyone in Brookbourn who could be a match for me. I also brought a dozen people with me too, and their strength is around Cain's level. You can be sure that Severin is going to die!"Lucy then said with a faint smil
Outside the ward, more than a dozen men in black suits were standing guard along with two women. Theo came to the two women and said to them, "You two stay here and take care of Cain so his needs can be attended to as soon as possible!""Yes, sir!" The two women glanced at each other and nodded.Lucy then led the group of men away from the hospital. After they left, Lucy booked the best hotel for everyone and brought them to enjoy a good meal. Once that was done, Lucy brought Theo and the group to scout the Shanahans' estate, where she pointed to Severin and Diane. Lastly, she brought them to see Diane's company as well as the villa where Severin stayed with his family. The sun had set by the time that was all done.Theo looked at his subordinates and said to them, "Everyone is hereby dismissed for the day. You're all free to go for a walk and enjoy yourself. Just remember not to cause any trouble! We wouldn't want anything untoward to happen and ruin our plans!" After some though
Lucy's heart skipped a beat and she could tell that Theo was trying to imply something else with that remark. However, she asked him in the hopes that she was just reading too much into his statement, "Would you still like to eat and drink some more?"Theo said with a smile, "I'm much too full already, thanks. I was hoping that we can do something else!"Lucy smiled awkwardly. "I know a good sauna and spa center. How about I bring you there later? Does that sound good?"Unexpectedly, Theo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that just won't do. None of those women can ever compare to you, Miss Lucy! Their beauty is barely a tenth of yours! Women like you who have all the feminine qualities of an ideal woman are exactly the kind of women I like!"Lucy's mouth twitched a few times as she walked forward and said, "But it's not right. This isn't the time for jokes, Mister Theo. How could you do this to Cain when you're his sworn brother? You shouldn't have such thoughts."The sky was
