"Haha, don't make me laugh. Did you think the son of South County Mansion would be afraid of trash like you?" Horus chuckled with the same look of disdain as the day before.The five men behind him had an indifferent look as well, and they did not seem to be taking Severin or his people seriously."You brought more than ten people yesterday, but none of them were a match for us. Are you so confident of winning that you only brought five people here?" Severin remarked flippantly at Horus as if looking at a bunch of clowns."It's quality over quantity, pal!" Horus laughed. "These five are truly strong. Did you think we'd go easy on you this time? Even if you knelt and apologized to me, it's all useless because I will never forgive you!""Believe me, your five guys are still no match for my six bodyguards, and it's not because they have one more person than your group. It's because they have much richer combat experience than yours!" A smile appeared immediately on Severin's face as h
"You…you win this time too! We'll leave!" Horus's expression changed several times and he was about to bring his men away."Where do you think you're going?" Severin smiled slightly, stood in front of Horus, and said, "Mister Horus, did you happen to forget what I just told you last night?""W-w-what did you tell me? I have no idea what you're talking about!" Horus's face turned ugly and he looked elsewhere."Hehe, I said that I'll slice off a finger of yours if you come here again. Do you have peas for brains or something? Is your memory so bad that I need to remind you what I said?" Severin asked with a smile."I dare you!" Horus glared at Severin. "You've seen how strong the people that I brought here today are, right? They're not the most powerful ones though. We have powerhouses up to level six warrior king just waiting for my instructions. If you cut my finger off, then we'll round up the most elite individuals in the Neelys and bring them here. You'll be dead then. Are you a
"AGH!" Following that scream, the one thing that Horus never thought would happen ended up happening, and he finally chose his pinky.In the distance, some of his strong fighters stood there silently with convoluted expressions. They answered to the Neelys, and even though a few of them did not particularly like Horus's general attitude, they had no choice but to do Horus's bidding for the sake of the Neelys. They simply did not expect Horus to meet someone so ruthless person at that moment."AGRHHHHH! AGHHH!" Horus's screams filled the air as he covered his wound with one hand and took two steps back. He then glared at Severin and said, "You're a brave one, Severin. Aren't you afraid of the Neelys?"After Severin heard that, he laughed and said, "Do you think I'd be bold enough to attack you if I was afraid? Get the hell out of here and don't ever show up in front of me again, or else I'll beat the crap out of you.""You..." Horus was so angry that the fat on his face jiggled madl
Then the man said, "As luck would have it, there's some good news. I heard that Horus had his eye on 'The One And Only', a two-piece jewelry set from And Only Jewelry Corporation. It's the same one that they've been advertising. And whaddya know, someone snatched it away from Horus!"Rachel smiled wryly after hearing that and said, "Do you mean to say that someone else bought it before he could? He probably went to Brookbourn to try and take it back. Knowing his character, he won't be able to accept it if other people take away something that he likes."However, the man sat down at the side and said with a smile, "That's exactly what happened, but the buyer from Brookbourn doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. I heard that all of Horus's men were beaten up yesterday, and the Neelys sent five warrior kings to Brookbourn that very night!"Upon hearing that, there was a hint of surprise in Rachel's eyes as she remarked, "The buyer from Brookbourn is one brave soul! They didn't even sh
Glenn could only smile bitterly at his sister's yearning look. "I'm sorry, sis, but I think that's just wishful thinking. Horus is the county mansion's scion, so no matter how brave that Brookbourn fellow is, they couldn't be bold enough to kill the guy."Rachel, however, pointed out, "But now that they cut off one of Horus's fingers, would the Neelys just take it like that without putting up a fight?"Glenn thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if the Neelys will admit defeat or not, but I think you can use this to your advantage and see if you can turn the tables on this forced marriage!""And how am I supposed to do that?" Rachel immediately looked eagerly at Glenn."There are two options: the first is to sow discord. Tell Horus that you have your heart set on that jewelry set, and that you are fine with marrying him on the condition that you can wear both the necklace and that ring on your wedding day! Horus is the kind of guy who would continue to fight for it with the
"Let this slide, you say?" Horus had never liked Yoel, so he glared at Yoel following the latter's comment and lashed out by saying, "Well, aren't you're a useless w*nker! My finger was cut off by him, and this is one of the most humiliating things the Neelys have ever suffered. Did you seriously just tell Dad to let this slide? Have you no idea how much shame this will bring to our family if people find out?"Yoel smiled wryly before explaining, "Don't you think it's strange? If the And Only Jewelry Corporation wasn't so scared of Severin, they wouldn't have sent the necklace to him when they already agreed to sell it to us! This just goes to show that Severin is much more powerful than us!""More powerful than us? Didn't I already tell you that the one with the highest attainment level among the bodyguards was only a level four warrior king?" Mason frowned."But, Dad," Yoel tried to reason. "Do Horus and the others know what level Severin's attainment is? What if he's stronger tha
"What did your father say?" One of the men who had almost recovered from his injuries frowned and looked at Horus.Horus gritted his teeth and said, "Dad said they had a meeting and decided to drop the matter. I'm so angry right now! The reason they gave is that they're unsure about Severin's attainment. They're mostly worried that Severin might be some kind of low-profile powerhouse! I'm f*cking pissed at all this!"Another bodyguard said, "A low-profile powerhouse? I don't think he's that strong. If he was, he'd be an idiot to stay in a place like Brookbourn where the spiritual energy is so thin. Anyone with a higher level of attainment will choose to stay in a city with stronger spiritual energy, where even the resources for practicing are much more abundant!"Then, Horus complained, "Yeah! What the hell are those old guys thinking? I'm beginning to feel that their balls are getting smaller and smaller!""Do you think it could be your brother that gave them that idea?" asked one
Gracie smiled awkwardly and after giving it some thought, she still decided to call him 'handsome'.Diane frowned slightly when she heard that and wondered to herself, 'Is she going to be another one of my "love rivals"?' After all, Sheila tended to call Severin 'handsome' too, so she could not help but be reminded of that when Gracie addressed him as such."Who's this, honey?" Diane asked Severin with a frown.He then leaned over to Diane's ear and said softly, "She's the hall master of Equus Hall, so you can say that she's one of my subordinates!"Diane nodded when she heard that and was rather surprised that a woman—and a very beautiful one at that—could be the leader of a hall.After saying that, Severin put on an act and said, "This is the hall master of Equus Hall. They're from Brookton, and I became friends with them after running into them there!"Gracie smiled. "That's right! Mister Severin did us a big favor that time!""Diane, why don't you bring everyone in and make
