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
"Umm…" Wesley frowned. It was clear that he was still a little worried.Severin smiled and said to the waiter, "Well, since the food's already been ordered, then go ahead and serve them up! I'm famished!" He then walked over to find a seat and sit down.Winnie went to Severin's side, suppressed her sad emotions, and said to Severin, "Thank you, Severin. I wouldn't have known that Shayna's such a terrible person if it weren't for you, and even if you saved me today, she might try to find another chance to kill me in the future!""Yeah! She was so good at pretending, and we're lucky that Severin was observant enough to see through her. It's always these quiet, scheming kinds that are the scariest!" said one of the other two women.Wesley then apologized to Severin. "I'm sorry for the earlier misunderstanding, Severin. We were all fooled by Shayna!""Don't worry about it, folks. I always go the distance when it comes to helping others. I couldn't bear to see her act in front of all o
"Oh dear, Shayna. Who would dare to bully you? Don't worry, I'll bring some men there and beat him up until his face is unrecognizable!" Humbert coaxed Shayna immediately on the other end of the line.…At that moment, the food has already been served in the VIP room and there was also plenty of red wine on the table."Here's a toast to you, Severin! I would be dead by now if it weren't for you today!" Winnie raised her wine glass and said to Severin.Severin clinked glasses with her, poured some wine for himself, and said to Wesley, "Come on, everyone! Let's wish Wesley a happy birthday!""Yeah, Wesley! Happy birthday! Although some unpleasant things did happen earlier, you can't let it ruin your special day!" Winnie urged him.Wesley smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks, everyone. Cheers."Though they all began to eat and drink, Wesley was still a little worried. After all, if Shayna could do something as despicable as hiring someone to kill Winnie, then there was every possibili
"You…" Calvin struggled to get up, covered his face, but he did not dare to go forward again because he knew that Humbert was a ruthless person who killed without batting an eye."Mister H-H-Humbert! Have a c-c-cigarette!" Wesley's lips twitched a few times and he could only take out his cigarettes with a smile as he stepped forward to pass it to him.However, Humbert shot him a cold look and did not bother to pick it up at all."Didn't you try to show off earlier, Wesley? Why are you such a scaredy cat now?" Shayna smiled coldly.She then looked at Winnie and Severin again, "What do you think, Winnie? Told ya I had a godbrother, hahaha!"Winnie's eyes were red and she looked at Shayna while saying, "I'm so, so disappointed in you, Shayna. We didn't do anything to you, did we? We let you go, and you still wanted us dead!""Haha, that's where you're wrong. I don't want all of you to die, just you and this Sever-whatever-his-name-is. He deserves to die the most because he ruined my
"Severin! Be careful!" Winnie was terrified when she saw Humbert launching an attack. After all, Severin had offended Humbert for her sake, and she would feel incredibly distraught if Humbert were to kill him.Wesley, Calvin, and the others clenched their fists anxiously and were just as worried for Severin as Winnie was. To their surprise, Severin grabbed Humbert's fist after the latter delivered a punch and prevented him from moving forward."What!" Humbert was taken aback. Severin was faster than the speed of lighting, and Humbert strength's paled far beyond that of Severin. It was as if he was punching a mountain, and such mountains were unshakeable!Severin then lifted his leg and sent Humbert flying with a kick. The man then fell heavily onto the ground, and within the next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood."But how?! What happened? Why couldn't you defeat him? Aren't you very good at fighting?" Shayna was so frightened that she ran over in a hurry and helped Humbert u
Severin could not contain himself from smiling as he said, "Okay. Tell your uncle to come over then! You're not allowed to leave unless he's here.""You..." Humbert did not expect Severin to be so bold as to underestimate his uncle too."All of you, kneel and chant 'I surrender' while waiting for that Geoffrey guy to show up. If you don't, I'll kill you all!" Severin then went back to his seat and sat down, but a sudden idea came to him and he decided to, "Wait. Today is Wesley's birthday, so rather than chant 'I surrender', why don't you sing him 'Happy Birthday' until Geoffrey arrives!""You want me to kneel and sing? What makes you think you can make me do that?" Humbert took a step forward and glared at Severin.However, Severin slapped him casually and sent him flying. "Well, nothing's impossible! I'll give you one hour. If your uncle doesn't come and save you by then, your life ends right here!" Severin smiled faintly and warned Humbert.Humbert could only stare viciously at
"Yeah! Let's continue our feast! We don't need to be scared of anything!" Calvin became bold all of a sudden and went to pour himself a glass of wine too.Upon seeing his actions, Severin walked up to Winnie, leaned close to her, and whispered into her ear. "Calvin does like you a lot, Winnie. We're in facing a life-and-death situation right now, but he still wants to be around for you and never once thought about leaving this place. I think he's a good person. You should keep an open mind and try dating him. There's no need to doubt his character!"Winnie's heart warmed up when she heard that. Although Calvin's family did not have much money, he had always been a good person, and he even got himself injured earlier because he went up to argue with Humbert. Such men were far and few in between.After thinking about Severin's advice, she whispered back to him, "Honestly, it's not that I don't like him at all. I've just always known that my best friend Shayna has been trying to win hi
"Yeah, Uncle! He needs to die! He's too arrogant, and he even looks down on you! He also insulted Equus Hall and called us the Ick-A*s Hall, saying we're all icky a*sholes!" Geoffrey's anger led Humbert to believe that Severin's death was all but certain, and he could not help but add some embellishments to the story."You've got big balls, kid!" Geoffrey gritted his teeth."Thanks for the compliment!" Severin replied with a smile."Die!" Geoffrey could not bear it anymore and did not want to hear another word from Severin. For the record, everyone who met him in the past nodded and bowed to him for fear of offending him, so it felt like a slap in the fact when Severin was brave enough to talk to him like that.Geoffrey lived up to his of being a strong profound master, for there was a gush of spiritual energy from his fist as soon as he clenched it. In a flash, he came up to Severin and threw the punch right at him.Severin tilted his head slightly and instantly dodged the oppone
