"I'll do it!" Wendy knew the limits of Naomi's strength, and if Naomi could not hold her own against the opponent, then the outcome would probably be the same even if either Abigail or Lillie came forward."Oh? You're not going to surrender, then?" Eugene then smiled slightly as he flew up and said to Wendy, "I must say, Severin is quite amazing. I can't figure out how he managed to invite such strong people like you to become his bodyguard!""Enough with your nonsense! Come at me!" Wendy waved at the other party with a goading look on her face."Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you?"Eugene flew even higher, and the two of them began to fight! Several minutes into the fight, Eugene realized that something was amiss—Wendy's attainment level was the same as his, but she was better than him in terms of combat power. Although he was able to hold out for several minutes, he was still no match for Wendy and was struck so heavily that he fell back to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of bl
Severin glanced insipidly at him. "I take it you're the old b*stard?""Old b*stard?" Barrie gritted his teeth angrily after being called that. He immediately glared at Severin and lashed out, "Pretty brave of you to call me that! You must've grown sick of life?"Severin smiled and said, "Well, your son is a little b*stard, and rather than doing what a father should do by educating your son, you brought a whole host of people to my house just to terrorize my family. Calling you an 'old b*stard' is justified!""Why you little..." Barrie had never been humiliated so terribly before, and he wanted to step forward and punch Severin as soon as he clenched his fist.His men, who were all standing behind him, stopped him immediately. Even if they combined all their strength, they would probably not be able to withstand one of Severin's punches with their grandmaster-level attainment."We lost because we were unlucky today. I didn't expect the bodyguards you hired to be so powerful. We ack
To make things worse, Quintus brought his men there when Severin was not at home. If Wendy and the others had not been strong enough to fend them off, the result would have been much worse.Severin clenched his fist and sent his opponent flying with a punch. Eugene fell heavily on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood."What? You're no match for him either, Eugene?" Barrie thought that Eugene could stop Severin, but his face immediately turned pale with fright when he saw that Eugene had been sent flying several meters back."What sort of attainment level does he have? His punch is at least that of a level six or level seven warrior king!" Eugene's heart was filled with turmoil, and Severin's strength had exceeded his expectations.Severin could only smile coldly. He held back from using much of his strength earlier because Eugene would have died from his punch if he did. He then walked slowly toward Quintus with an ice-cold expression."Dad, save me!" Quintus yelled, his le
Barrie could only nod with a listless expression. "I understand that Jada is a good girl, Victor. She persuaded me and Quintus not to trouble Severin anymore, but my son and I didn't listen to her advice. We thought Eugene could help avenge us, but we didn't expect things to turn out this way!""Sigh." Victor sighed and then said to Barrie, "I should remind you again not to think about getting revenge on Severin in the future. It's unfortunate, but we can't afford to provoke him. I was surprised that you came here and went directly to him without telling me. I would've persuaded you against it if I knew that you wanted to cause trouble to them!""What do you mean by that?" Barrie frowned, sensing that there was more to Victor's statement from the latter's tone.Victor then explained, "You might not know this, but a group of elite fighters from Cherridom came over just a few days ago. They were all powerful people, but they all ended up dead after fighting with Severin's female bodyg
The viciousness and coldness that Severin had toward his enemies had long since disappeared when Selene showed up. It was replaced by a warm look of gentleness."You're finally back!" Diane went up to Severin and said with a smile, "It mustn't have been easy for you. Why don't you catch up on your sleep and have some rest?"Severin smiled and said, "Nah, I'm not sleepy! It makes me happy to see that everyone's safe and sound!"Diane was still a little worried as she said to Severin, "We might not need to fear the Novaks, but Eugene is a junior general. Do you think he'll come and cause trouble after being humiliated like this today?"Severin smiled. "Don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of if your husband is around!"He then glanced at everyone else and said to the bodyguards, "You've worked very hard these past few days, so how about I will all of you to a big dinner later tonight? It's about time you get some well-deserved rest!""Yay! We get to eat good food tonight!" Wen
Severin then nodded with a smile. "It is, but we will have to wait one year. That is why you must break through to level nine grandmaster in the span of one year!""Okay. I'll do my best!" Diane nodded happily.However, Severin frowned again and said, "That's not all though. I was also entrusted with a lot of missions.""Missions? What sort of missions?" Diane looked puzzled.Severin recalled what he had been told and explained to Diane the things he had obtained and the much greater potential treasures that he would stand to get. Finally, he dropped the bombshell on her, "It's about time I tell you the truth too. I'm actually the supreme leader of Dracodeus Temple, and Draco Hall is also one of my subordinate halls!""No way!" Diane's heart was filled with tumult and she sat down speechlessly on the bed in shock for a long time. It was already shocking enough for her to find out that Severin received a book on alchemy as well as a flying sword, and Severin had also told her that
Diane pondered briefly over what Severin said and frowned for a moment before asking Severin, "Honey, can you explain to me a bit more about alchemy, spiritual herbs, and other basic knowledge about attainment? I've already made up my mind to take this path, and I wish to become stronger too!"Severin did not expect Diane to be so interested in attainment, so he began explaining everything carefully to Diane. When the explanation was almost all done, Severin said to her, "There's no hurry though. Since you've been consuming the reishi mushrooms according to instruction, you've become a grandmaster in no time!""How about I try punching you?" Diane smiled at Severin and suggested."Bring it on!" Severin stood in front of her. Diane had a wicked smile and punched Severin right away. After receiving her punch, Severin's eyes lit up as he said in satisfaction, "Not bad! You're already a level four grandmaster! The rate at which you are improving is quite fast, and I think it won't be
Severin's reaction elicited a smile from Diane as she chastised him, "You're such a meanie. Don't you think you're being too cruel? Are you just going to pretend that you can't see how nice she's treating you? I'm fine if you two end up together!"Severin blushed and could not help but say, "Not you too! I can't believe you've developed such a good relationship with her!""Hehe, I'm going downstairs to let her know that she can come to your room to meet you!" Diane ignored Severin's protests because she understood what it felt like to love someone dearly. The feeling was especially strong in the past few days when she missed Severin like crazy when he was not around. As a result, she could understand Sheila's feelings perfectly."I might as well go down and meet her then. God knows what she's going to do if you let her come to my room. Whose shoulder am I supposed to cry on if she gets all handsy on me?" Severin was startled by Diane's suggestion and jumped off the bed in a hurry.
