Gracie was exasperated at first, but Severin's ring was like a bombshell that instantly made her brain buzz. "That's…t-t-t-that's…that's the Dracodeus Ring!" Gracie's heart was overcome with tumult and she recognized the ring immediately."Greetings, Supreme Leader!" Once she snapped back to her senses, she knelt in front of Severin without the slightest hesitation."Greetings, Supreme Leader!" The rest of her men did not know how to react, but when they saw that their leader had knelt on the ground, they had no choice but to follow suit too."W-w-what's going on?" Wesley and the others were just as startled, and they had already stood up since the moment Gracie came in.Beside him, Calvin asked softly, "What should we do? Should we kneel too?" Though he had no idea was what happening at the moment, he was already scared out of his wits by what he saw."Kneel, kneel. This looks really serious!" Wesley did not know what else to do except kneel slowly. The rest immediately followed
The grand-elder then said in awe, "I finally understand what he meant when he said he was cleaning house. He was helping us to get rid of the filth that was hidden among us."The second elder said lamentably, "Why didn't you show up before, Supreme Leader? What brings you here all of a sudden? We've been oppressed by the Skydrake Gang for a very long time, but we could only swallow our anger and bear with their behavior. If they weren't so fearful of the possibility that we might one day go all out and fight them to the death, they'd probably treat us even worse than how we're being treated right now!""Did they bully your people?" Severin frowned and could not help but say, "Then let's go meet the Skydrake Gang in a bit and get even with them!""But Supreme Leader…they're very strong, and the only level nine profound master we have is our esteemed hall master. On the other hand, the Skydrake Gang has two level nine profound masters. We're no match for them! Their gang's leader even
Everyone went out of the VIP room not long later, and Severin glanced at Wesley and Winnie before saying to Gracie, "Do take care of Wesley, Winnie, and their respective families. I consider them my friends now.""Understood. I promise we'll take care of them." Gracie nodded and gestured respectably to him.When Wesley and Winnie heard that, they looked at each other and could not help but feel a little ecstatic. They were just ordinary business families, and Wesley's family nearly became a third-tier family but for the lack of luck. The opportunity to associate themselves with Equus Hall was undoubtedly a good thing."Thank you for taking care of us!" Wesley and Winnie thanked Severin after exchanging glances with each other.Severin smiled and said, "No biggie. I've got to leave with them now and pay the Skydrake Gang a visit!"Wesley and the others left promptly. Severin then said to Gracie, "You guys lead the way. I'll follow your cars from behind!"Gracie and her men made a
Gracie, however, kicked them one after another and sent them flying some distance back. They then fell heavily onto the ground and died on the spot.Several patrolling individuals saw the situation and immediately blew the alarm whistle. Within seconds, the Skydrake Gang's people immediately rushed out, with Equus Hall's members charging in immediately and standing behind Severin."What's going on, Hall Master? Is this some kind of covert midnight operation? I don't think we're capable of dealing with our opponents though…" One of the protectors was incredibly confused after bringing people over, especially since he was busy sleeping in the middle of the night when he suddenly received a call to bring some men over to destroy the Skydrake Gang. During the journey to the gang's headquarters, his heart was beating rapidly and he wondered if he had received that order in a dream.There were not a lot of people living in the headquarters of the Skydrake Gang, but they numbered more than
"Launching spiritual energy from one's person is something that only a warrior king can achieve!" The grand-elder was horrified when he saw what Severin did. After all, regardless of how powerful a profound master was, the most they could do was manifest spiritual energy on their fists when in battle. Only warrior kings can attack using the aura of one's body.The gap between the attainment of a warrior king and a profound master was huge, and not even ten level nine profound masters could be a match for a level one warrior king. Such was the disparity between both ranks. For that reason, Gracie felt calm and reassured after knowing that Severin was a warrior king, because that would mean an easy surefire victory.Severin smiled slightly, flicked his fingers again, and shot out a ray of light toward the grand-elder, whose face turned pale with fright upon seeing that and immediately moved to dodge it. Though he managed to evade it, two of the Skydrake Gang's elders behind him were ki
"Mess?" Gracie nearly fainted after hearing that and asked Severin, "What do you mean 'mess'? Equus Hall will be the most powerful gang in Brookton from tonight onward. Do you need money, Supreme Leader? We can give you money every year! Just tell us what you need and we'll be able to provide it to you! Equus Hall is yours, after all!"Severin smiled wryly and said, "I don't need money. In my eyes, money is just a number and an external object. The previous supreme leader gave me more than enough money to spend. I could easily buy the entire city of Brookton if I wanted!"Gracie gasped when she heard that because that was a very huge sum of money—cold hard cash instead of the value of many assets. The money that Severin had was essentially capital and cash flow."Why did you call this a mess, though? My dad said that there would be twelve halls named according to the oriental zodiac. Collectively, we're a very powerful force. Aren't you the least bit interested in us?" Gracie looked
Gracie stole a glance at Severin and could not help but say, "Well, since everything's almost done here, we can leave the rest to the elders. Equus Hall will be the biggest organization here in Brookton tomorrow, and even our city's mansion wouldn't dare to offend us!" After a pause, she added, "Are you still up for a couple of drinks? I still have some good wine back at my place, so why don't we enjoy ourselves a little once we head back?"Severin nodded after considering her proposal. "Sure. I would love to chat and understand a bit more about Equus Hall!"The two of them then drove back with Gracie leading Severin to a villa area."Hall Master!" More than a dozen of Equus Hall's people had been tasked to patrol the area at night, and they greeted Gracie respectfully once she parked her car and walked over with Severin.Gracie nodded. "Thanks for your hard work."After finishing her sentence, she smiled at Severin and said, "Come on in, handsome. I heard Winnie calling you hands
"Sure." Severin nodded and went upstairs to take a shower.Once Severin went upstairs, Gracie could not help but touch her cheek and mumble to herself, "Goodness gracious! Why am I blushing? I can't believe I'm feeling shy in front of the supreme leader! I need to snap out of it! He might be a very amazing guy, but he's supposed to be my superior! Quit having those thoughts! He has a wife and children too, so there's no reason for him to like me!"The next second, however, another voice sounded in her mind, 'What are you scared of, Gracie? Does it matter if he has a wife? This is your first time meeting a man who can make your heart flutter. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't seize the opportunity. Besides, you're a sexy and good-looking woman. No man can resist that!'Gracie could not help herself from letting her imagination run wild. Severin's show, in particular, enchanted her completely, and his concern for her as well as that sense of security he gave her
