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
"At least…at least three million!" After thinking for a while, Lucy stretched out three fingers."Okay, three million it is!" Theo then pounced on her and began kissing her.Lucy, however, continued to struggle as she said, "No, not here. Let's go someplace else. It's not the right place to do that sort of thing, and you need to do as you said earlier and give me the money!"By then, Theo had completely lost his sanity and could no longer wait until they went back to the hotel. After looking around, he pointed to a bamboo forest not far away and said, "Let's do it there. We've agreed with each other, and once we're done here, you'll have to stay overnight at the hotel and keep me company!"Lucy did not expect that pervert would be so demanding. However, she finally nodded when she thought about the three million dollars. "Okay. But you need to transfer the money to me before we do anything.""Don't worry. This is just a small sum of money to me!" Theo stepped forward and carried L
"Yeah! Why don't you let Severin have a look? He's an amazing doctor. The Zelankos' old madam was wheelchair-bound for more than ten years, but now she's up and about! She even visited us today!" Felicia immediately said to Warren.Warren did not expect them to be so enthusiastic about it, so he could only smile awkwardly in refusal. "That won't be necessary. I have the medication, and I expect it to be fine in a couple of days!"Severin smiled when he heard that. "Come on, everyone, let's enjoy the wine! Any doctor can handle these minor illnesses, and he already has the medicine for it too. It'll only be redundant if I check it for him!"Warren raised his wine glass and said to everyone, "Mister Severin is right! Let's have a toast!"Everyone soon raised a toast. After Warren put down his glass, he asked, "By the way, I heard that Mister Severin is going to make it up to Miss Diane for their wedding. When will that be, I wonder? I'd love to come and raise a glass to the two of yo
"I'll be there if time permits, Mister Severin!" Valerian felt at a loss when Severin raised a glass to him, and he could only respond with an awkward smile.However, Diane noticed that subtle expression, and she could tell that something was amiss.She could not wrap her head around why someone like Valerian would look so awkward after being toasted by Severin. It could be likened to when a subordinate felt flustered when their superior raised a toast to him. However, Valerian was a war chief, and his superior would have been one of the war gods. Severin could not have been one of those four because their identities were known to the world after the live broadcast of them receiving their award for their meritorious service. The whole nation would have seen them on screen.In the end, Diane just shook her head and chastised herself for thinking too much. Perhaps Valerian was simply a socially-awkward hothead who loves fighting, which could explain why he seems a little unaccustomed
