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.
Severin nearly vomited blood. He was just being polite to her and did not expect her to read too much into his sentences."Big Sis Sheila! You're here!" Selene, who was supposed to have been playing outside, ran in all of a sudden and called out to Sheila. She was clearly very fond of Sheila, perhaps because Sheila had been coming over in the past few days."Oh, Miss Sheila! You're here too? Severin's going to treat us to dinner tonight. Would you like to come along?" Judith walked in with a smile too.Upon seeing Selene and Judith's reaction, Severin thought to himself, 'Welp, I'm done for then.' Sheila was such a charmer that she had completely won his family over! At that rate, there might come a time when Severin might not be able to resist her advances. After all, she was a very good-looking woman, and Severin had lost his composure a little when she hugged him tightly earlier."I'd love to, Aunt Judith! Diane just told me about it earlier, so I'd be happy to join!"Sheila sm
Severin was speechless with her response and felt as if there was a headache coming over him.…After returning home, Severin planned on studying the alchemy manual and had just begun reading it on the bed when Diane opened the door and walked in. She had already finished taking a shower at that moment and changed into a sexy pink nightdress. Her long sexy legs were almost fully exposed and she looked incredibly alluring.After entering the room, Diane smiled even more devilishly as she locked Severin's door and asked him, "What do you think, honey? Do I look good?"Severin could not help but gulp as he said, "Y-y-yeah! You look really good!" After saying that, he immediately tossed the alchemy manual to one side and said, "My, you're so eager tonight, honey! That's not like you at all!"Diane blushed. "What's wrong with being eager? If this isn't like me at all, then I'll leave!"Severin jumped out of bed as soon as he saw Diane turning to leave. He hugged her from behind and sa
Lucy protested. "Ugh, but it's so unbearable to be cooped up here! It's like we're in jail!"Cain could only smile wryly and say to Lucy, "You can go shopping in the shop lots around the neighborhood, if you want.""But all those shops are small, and there aren't even any better shopping malls around. There's no point going!" Lucy sighed.Cain smiled and said to her, "Hang in there a while more, okay? The Slasher Gang's leader is really angry after finding out what happened, and he sent over the gang's elders! Severin will be dead soon!""The elders?!" Lucy gasped when she heard that the Slasher Gang had sent over a group of extremely formidable individuals.Cain said with a smile, "Haha, I'm going to bring them to Severin's place and witness them slicing off Severin's head. There are six of them, and the one with the highest attainment is level seven warrior king. If that's not enough to kill Severin, then I don't know what is!""Level seven warrior king? Are they that strong, d
The elders promptly entered the house.The second elder looked at Cain's leg, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thanks for all your trouble, Cain."Cain could only smile awkwardly as he replied, "It's no trouble. I might have left the gang, but I'll always be one of you. Serving the gang is a just move!" He was well aware that he could not leave Brookbourn because doing so would make him a deserter in the Slasher Gang's eyes, and the gang would send people over to hunt him down and kill him. As a result, his only recourse was to hide while waiting for the Slasher Gang's people to come and exact revenge.Even so, he felt that he had made the right choice because his goal was to see Severin dead after Severin crippled him so terribly."I should be thanking you for all the trouble! Let's rest for now. We can set the plan in motion tomorrow," Cain suggested after some thought.Lucy then immediately reminded him, "Are you going to let them stay in this sort of place? Let's bring t
The extra money brought a smile to Megan's face, and she happily handed over the jade pendant that Zenoah had originally given to Severin. A thought then occurred to Megan as she sat opposite Severin and said to him, "By the way, Mom has been nagging a lot recently!""About what?" Severin asked with a frown.Megan replied, "Didn't you say that you're going to choose a date for the wedding ceremony after Augustfest? You were boasting about wanting to make it up to Diane by giving her the grandest wedding ever? Mom has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and she still hasn't seen any movement on your end now that Augustfest is over!"Severin smiled and said, "How about in another ten days? I'll tell Diane tonight. Then I'll bring her to choose her wedding dress and shoot some wedding photos tomorrow!""Really? Then I'll go back and tell Mom right now! She'll be very happy if she knows about it!" Megan's eyes lit up instantly after hearing that."Yes. The location will
When William heard what Felicia said, he smiled wryly and pointed out to her. "He said that out of courtesy. Did you take his words seriously?" Having said that, William paused for a moment before continuing, "Mister Valerian is a war chief. His daily itinerary probably consists of courtesy calls from heads of cities, royalty, or state governors. Do you think he'll have the time to attend Severin's wedding when his schedule is probably full to the brim?"Though Felicia felt that William's argument made sense, she still did not give up as she said, "But he's a war chief! He can't go back on his word, right?"William could only smile helplessly. "He said that he'll attend if he has time to spare. He didn't promise outright that he would attend. Technically speaking, he's not going back on his word if he says he isn't free. We're the ones who should be more aware of where we stand."…At that moment, the Slasher Gang's five elders had rested for a day in the villa and were starting to
