Flying took up a lot of spiritual energy. Thus, the amount of spiritual energy in their bodies was not sufficient for them to fly a long distance.The night arrived. Severin arrived in a town called Junca. Since it was getting late, Severin decided to take a rest in the town and continued driving tomorrow morning.This was the first time Severin came to Brookton. He did not know his way so he found a spot to park his car. After that, his tummy was growling with hunger. He decided to look for a restaurant to fill his tummy before checking into a hotel to take his rest."Gosh, the amount of spiritual energy in this town is way much better than Brookbourn. This is a nice place!" Severin was surprised after he tried to feel the spiritual energy in the air while walking on the street at night.Brookton almost had an identical name to Brookbourn. Yet, the difference was huge. This small town was actually seven or eight times smaller than Brookbourn and the air was filled with a full-bodi
"Hey, handsome. What's your name? Thank you for saving me!"It took a while for the beautiful woman to react. She smiled at Severin revealing two dimples on her cheeks and looking exceptionally pretty.Severin smiled. "I'm Severin Feuillet. And you?"The beautiful woman giggled. "I'm Winnie and my last name is Feuillet too!"She continued. "How coincident is it that we have the same last name and you just saved my life just now?"Followed by a frown, she said, "Severin, you just saved my life. How am I going to repay you?"Severin smiled. "You don't have to thank me. It just happened I was there to come to your rescue. It's nothing really."Winnie started to check up on Severin now. "You must be an elite fighter! You're so young but you have incredible speed. I'm guessing I'm dead by now if you are a second too late to come to my rescue. Only the captain of the bodyguard in my family has that kind of speed. The others are not as fast as you!"Severin looked at Winnie. Her outfi
"Damn it!" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone and she finally said, "Fine. Since that's the case, we can just find another opportunity in the future. You can head home now. It'll be difficult now that we've spooked them.""Understood, miss!" The person hung up and drove away.Winnie smiled slightly and said to Severin, "What line of work are you in, handsome? Or are you the kid of some rich family?"Severin smiled lightly. "Me? I'm an unemployed wayfarer!""You must be joking? Those clothes you're wearing don't seem cheap at all."Winnie then brought Severin into the restaurant and said to him, "My two best friends are inside, along with some other good friends of mine. They all invited me out for dinner! I'm going to introduce you to them in a bit!"Severin smiled wryly. "There's no need for that, is there? I'm just passing by. My destination is Lupool!""Just passing by?" Winnie smiled and said, "Then it's even more certain that our fate was written in the st
Shayna knew that Severin saved Winnie because she had gone out to answer a phone call before Winnie and Severin went upstairs. Nevertheless, she still asked intentionally, "Who's this handsome guy here? Is he your boyfriend? He's quite the charmer! Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"Winnie blushed instantly and rolled her eyes at Shayna before saying, "What are you babbling about? We just met!"Severin has been silently observing everyone there, and though the guy named Calvin was a little anxious at first, he seemed to be instantly relieved after hearing Winnie's explanation.Severin could tell that Calvin might have feelings for Winnie."For real, Winnie? This is supposed to be a gathering between friends. Why'd you bring him when you both just met? Are you trying to pull our leg or something? Why are you so shy to tell us that he's your boyfriend? Do you plan to keep it a secret?" Another man asked with a smirk, and he seemed to lack any sort of tactfulness whatsoever.S
Severin could tell that Wesley was the richest among the five, which would explain his domineering character."You're just joking, right?" Winnie was similarly aghast that one of her friends was the culprit. After all, she was very close friends with them because they all grew up together. Even so, she felt that Severin made perfect sense because she went there only after receiving a phone call, and the only people who could have known that she would be there were the five people in the room.Severin look at Shayna and said, "Me? Talking nonsense? Well, the easiest way to know is to show us your cell phone! I believe you would've contacted the person who tried to kill Winnie before she came here."Upon hearing that, Shayna was terrified and immediately said, "Who do you think you are? And why should I show you my cell phone? I have to right to privacy!""Hehe, you wouldn't be afraid to show it to us if you have nothing to be afraid of. Why do you look so guilty?"Severin chuckled.
"Ah, I've had it with you!" Shayna froze when she saw that the phone was caught in her hands. It could not have been humanely possible for anyone to react in such a short time, yet Severin—by all odds—managed to catch the phone.In that instant, Shayna felt as if her entire head was buzzing. Had it not been for Severin's sudden appearance, Winnie would have been dead already, and she would have already had the upper hand. She rushed forward to try and smack the phone off Severin's grip, but he was not about to her give her another chance. With a slight push, Shayna fell to the ground.Winnie was stunned when she looked at the call records on the phone. She never dreamed that the last person Shayna contacted was a contact that was named 'Assassin'. Then, when she looked at the chat records on Shayna's messaging apps, she saw a conversation discussing the various plans to kill her, and there was even a seventy-five thousand dollar bank transfer made to the other party! Her eyes turne
Calvin could only sigh. His longtime feelings for Winnie were an open secret, and he felt that there was no reason for him to persuade Wesley against it because Shayna had almost killed the love of his life.However, Winnie persuaded Wesley kindly. "Maybe you could just let this one slide, Wesley? We could just stop being friends with her from now on!"Wesley, however, said, "I know that you're her good friend, but you need to be objective here. She has her mind set on killing you, and if you don't nip this in the bud now, she'll do the same to you again in the future!" Though Winnie still wished to protest, Shayna stood up and threatened Wesley. "Are you sure you want to go ahead with this, Wesley? How condescending of you. Hahaha! Sorry, but I recently got to know a godbrother who treats me really well. He'll come for you if you kill me!""Godbrother?" Wesley frowned instantly when he saw that Shayna seemed to be telling the truth. After all, his family might be strong, but he w
Wesley's expression was gloomy, and it was clear that he was wary of offending Humbert. After giving the situation more thought, he said to Shayna, "Just leave and act like we were never friends, Shayna.""Hehe, what's the matter? Are you scared after finding out that Humbert is my godbrother? Weren't you acting like you're oh so powerful earlier?" Shayna chuckled and had an extremely smug look on her face. "I have no issues sparing your life, but all of you will have to kowtow three times to me! Then I'll leave. If you don't, it takes just one call from me to let you feel Humbert's anger!""Don't go overboard, Shayna! I'll kill you right now to show you what'll happen if I'm cornered!" Calvin looked at Shayna disappointedly. "I never expected you to be so evil!"Shayna then said, "Blame yourself for rejecting me when I confessed my love to you last night. Since you're so in love Winnie, then my only choice is to kill her! Without her in the way, you would have fallen in love with m
