Severin got into the car, smiled at Gracie, and said to her. "You don't have to see me off. Before I leave, I should remind you once again that even though it's fine for you to call me Supreme Leader here, you must never address me like that when you go to Brookbourn. After all, no one knows me here in Brookton, but I don't want my parents or my wife to know my identity!""I'll keep that in mind! I'll just call you 'handsome' then. That'll do, right?" Gracie smiled.Severin had a slightly odd expression on his face when he heard her call him that because he was reminded of Sheila who frequently called him 'my handsome Severin' every time they met."As you wish!" Severin smiled wryly and drove off.Gracie could not help but let out a sigh as she watched Severin's car drive out of her sight.…Severin drove non-stop and finally reached Lupool when the sky was already dark. There was a huge mountain south of Lupool that made everyone stop to look, and although Lupool was a relativel
"Rory, are you certain that you are allowing him to try to save your father? What if he's from one of the rival gangs? Even if you kill him later, that won't help with anything. Your father's life is more important than his life."The man dressed in white expressed his concern.Rory looked at her father, Freddie. His face looked pale and painful. "What if he's telling us the truth? It's a risk that I need to take. Call 911 just in case anything happens."There was nothing more the man dressed in white could say to change Rory's mind. He walked away and called 911. On the other side, Severin quickly gave Freddie a massage and took out his needle to perform dry needling. Once that was done, he placed his hand on Rory's father's head.At first, Freddie suffered tremendous pain. When Severin started to treat him, he was obviously gradually healing and in less pain. By the time, Severin took his hand away, Freddie looked healthier than before. His eyesight returned to normal and he coul
After some thinking, Freddie decided and said that."Freddie. Isn't a-million-and-five-hundred-thousand dollars too much? Who knows if you really had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage? What if it was something else and you will eventually be fine by yourself without his help?" The man dressed in white decided to step in when he heard that.Immediately, Freddie gave the man dressed in white a cold glare. "Are you saying my life doesn't worth as much as a-million-and-five-hundred-thousand dollars? This is my body. I know it better than you!""That's right. Keep your opinion to yourself." Rory also glared at the man before smiling at Severin. "Thank you, Mister Severin. Can you please give me your bank account? I'll transfer the money to you now. Luckily you are here to save my father."Severin smiled faintly. "You don't have to. I'm going back to my hotel now. I'm leaving early in the morning. It just happened that I'm there to lend a helping hand. The ambulance is here now. If you are st
"Do you hear that? My guess is correct. He's going into the mountain to hunt for treasure too. Let him join us. The more the merrier, isn't it?" One of the twins giggled.However, the thin man thought otherwise. He sneered and gave Severin a contemptuous look. "Look at how thin he is. I don't think he's a powerful person. Are you sure he's going to help us instead of being our burden?"The twin's sister gave Severin a sympathetic look. "But it's going to be very dangerous if he enters the mountain by himself. Let him tag along with us. There are too many wild animals in the mountain. He's not going to survive if he goes on by himself."The old man gave it a thought and said, "Young man. Are you a profound master? If you are not, we can't have you tag along with us."Severin smiled awkwardly. "That's for sure.""Do you hear that? He's a profound master. That means he can come with us, right?" The eldest twin sister came running and smiling at Severin. "It's nice having a handsome
"Sure. Let's hit the road and talk on the way!" Saul nodded and continued talking, "Severin, is it? Do you know the name of the forest? You might have heard it before. It's called the Forbidden Forest.""Forbidden Forest?" Severin frowned. The name of the forest itself was enough to scare many people away.Though, he knew it was not going to be a problem for him to reach the other end of the forest. Yet, he was feeling curious about the forest and wanted to know more. As they walked and talked along the way, Severin finally got to know what had been stopping many people from stepping foot into the forest.It was less dangerous on the outskirt of the forest. While there were still many wild animals lingering around, those wild animals were huge in size and common. Overall, those wild animals were about the same level as a grandmaster. It was a different situation if you went a little bit deeper into the forest. One could easily bump into a half-monster. A half-monster was a creature
Morris thought of it and said, "What if he gets lucky? Maybe he'll survive. Haha. I remembered there was a guy who accidentally entered the deeper part of the forest. He found a second-grade spiritual herb there. What a lucky guy!""A second-grade spiritual herb!"Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that. Spiritual herb was a herb that had the ability to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and mood. They were hard to come by and were extremely rare.It was categorized into nine different grades with nine being the rarest among all. In this modern world, even a first-grade spiritual herb was hard to come by. People would be fighting all over each other just to get their hands on a second-grade spiritual herb.First-grade spiritual herb was suitable for people during their profound master level. Whereas, the second-grade spiritual herb would provide a terrific result when consumed by a warrior king. Needless to say, the superb result a profound
Daphne smiled. "Other than my sister, I only know those people today. So remember, don't tell anyone your true level. Of course, you're allowed to lie to them when they ask you. They won't know it if you're lying to them either."After hearing that, Severin's had a weird expression. Unlike the others, the old wacko had taught him a secret technique. With that secret technique, he could easily tell the other people's level. However, there was an exception. When the person's level was higher than Severin's and if the person deliberately hid his strength, Severin would not be able to tell the person's level in that situation. Despite that, there were not many people that were at a higher level than Severin. Nonetheless, the six people who invited him to join the team were quite strong."I got it now. Thank you for your information," Severin said with a smile.Daphne continued to say seriously, "Do you really have to go to that place? Honestly speaking, it feels bad to see you risk your
At that moment, the team reached a dead end. The path was blocked by a dominant cliff. Saul stopped walking."Saul, where are you bringing us? There's no road ahead!" Dennis scolded as he looked at the cliff.The cliff was about twenty feet tall.Saul smiled and pointed in a direction. "We can go in that direction but that's going to be an extra hour long. We can take the shortcut by jumping up this cliff. It's an easy job for a level hour profound master. If anyone here is not a profound master that is level four or higher, he's only going to be a burden to us later.""Haha. If this is going to save us some time, I don't mind it!" Morris smiled and looked at Severin. "Not everyone here is here to look for treasure. If he can't jump up the cliff, he could take the long way. No one here is obliged to protect him along the way."Severin's mouth twitched a few times. This path could be a shortcut but Saul was actually trying to test their levels.If someone failed to reach the top o
