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
'He's insane, and he's not your regular madman! To think that he's bold enough to give us a chance to call someone else over!' Geoffrey's lips twitched violently a couple of times, but his heart was soon filled with joy. 'He defeated us, but instead of killing us and leaving this place, he told us to call other people over. How crazy can he be?!'There could not have been a better outcome than that!He took a step forward and made a point to gesture his hands at Severin, saying, "You're pretty good, kid, and you have my admiration. Since you've been so kind as to give me this chance to call someone else over, then don't mind if I do!" He turned around after he completed his sentence and took out his phone to make a call.Severin could not be bothered by what Geoffrey was doing, so he turned around and said to Winnie's group, "Why are all of you standing too? You should all be drinking! Today's a day of celebration, so make sure to feast to the fullest!""Haha, all right, all right!
Alas, Geoffrey was very much cognizant of the fact that he was not a match for Severin, who—in his opinion—was at least a level four profound master.However, the elder he called over had a good relationship with him and happened to be a level seven profound mater. He believed that the elder would have no problems whatsoever in killing Severin. For the moment, Geoffrey could only bear the humiliation, put on a smile that was uglier than a crying face, and sing 'Happy Birthday'.Wesley and the others had dumbfounded expressions, and they never dreamed that there would be a day when the protector of Equus Hall would kneel and sing in front of them. Although everyone was nervous, they could only continue to drink and hope that Severin would be able to pull something off when the elder came.Less than five minutes later, the elder walked in angrily, and his expression soured even more when he saw the group of people who were kneeling on the ground."Mister Roland! That's the guy! He's
A dull thud was heard, and Roland was sent flying backward. He knocked Geoffrey, who was standing behind him, onto the ground, and the two of them vomited blood at once."This can't be happening! How can an elder be no match for that Severin guy?" Shayna's face turned pale with fright when she saw what happened. 'Who the hell is this guy? He's terrifying!'"What did that kid to do you, sir? Were you careless because you underestimated him? Why weren't you able to land your attack on him?" Humbert did not even manage to see what was going on, and from his angle, he could only see Roland soaring through the air moments after going forward to attack. The fact that Roland was already vomiting blood suggested that the injury was rather serious.Therefore, his first thought was that Roland underestimated Severin's strength, thus allowing Severin the opportunity to injure him severely.Roland was already angry, and Humbert's question irked him even more. He lambasted viciously, "Didn't Ge
"Wait!" Severin stopped Roland immediately. "Simply breaking their limbs isn't enough. If you truly comprehend justice, you will kill Shayna, Humbert, and Geoffrey! Once they're dead, you can tell your hall master to come over!""My friend, the moon is out and it's getting very late. Are you sure you want our hall master to come over? Will it be all right if you leave this matter to me alone? I do hope you'll show some courtesy to me!" Roland's expression sank and he cupped his hands in a gesture of politeness toward Severin. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "I have no issues killing Humbert and this woman, but Geoffrey has contributed a lot to Equus Hall. Could you allow me to spare his life?""No!" Severin refused without a second thought. "You're lucky that I'm willing to spare your life because you were being deceived by them. Letting these three b*stards go free is absolutely out of the question!""S-S-Severin…I was wrong. I know what I did was wrong! I won't do it again!
Roland, who was being held hostage, felt a little saddened to hear what Severin said. 'He's right. He's just passing by, so whether I live or die shouldn't be any concern to him.'Despair filled Roland's heart, and Severin's words hurt so much more because Roland had been eager to see if Severin was able to save him.Geoffrey, however, said, "I might not care about him, but aren't you supposed to be a kind-hearted person? Weren't you thinking very highly of yourself earlier? If you have what it takes, then come here and save him! Hahaha! You can either let me and my nephew leave, or watch me kill Roland in front of your eyes! Being able to hold this powerful person hostage makes living pretty worthwhile!""Have you gone crazy, Geoffrey? I have never treated you badly, and yet you..." Roland nearly fainted due to anger. Geoffrey deserved to die for taking advantage of Roland's trust and taking him hostage when his guard was down, more so since he had even interceded for Geoffrey earl
