"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
"But Supreme Leader, I'm afraid we can't provoke South County Mansion. Our people have already asked around and found out that they have level five and level six warrior kings in their ranks!" Gracie thought about it for a moment and could not help but remind Severin.Although she knew that Severin was powerful enough to be a warrior king, she did not know his exact level. Meanwhile, South County Mansion was a big force in the entire south county, and she was worried that Severin would be no match for them.To her surprise, Severin made a rather nonchalant remark. "Don't worry, level six warrior kings are nothing in my eyes!" However, he soon had a wry smile as he said, "My only worry is whether or not I can get all twelve hall masters to break through to at least level nine warrior king within a year. This isn't an easy task to accomplish!"Gracie gasped when she heard him say that and immediately exclaimed, "H-how will even be possible? I'm only a level nine profound master, so if
Severin nodded. "Sure thing. Let's go together tomorrow!"That evening, Severin and Diane treated Gracie and the others to a feast.Later at night, Severin was lying on the bed with Diane when he said to her, "I'm going to South Link City tomorrow.""What for? Is your purpose there related to South County Mansion?" Diane had a startled expression because she could not believe that Severin still had some things to take care of when their wedding was days away.Severin smiled wryly. "You hit the nail on the head. It is related to South County Mansion. The woman Horus wants to marry is the head of Serpens Hall. It would've been fine if she was willing to marry him, but she's being forced into the marriage. I can't just sit here and let that happen!""I can't imagine which sane woman would want to marry that fat man, other than the usual gold-diggers of course," Diane said with a bitter smile. "You need to be very careful, okay? Don't worry. I'll be waiting for you to come back!"Sev
"Brother? I'm not your brother. We have the same father but our mothers are totally different people. Do you think I don't know what's in your mind? You're expecting to see me fail and you're just pretending to be nice to me!"Horus sneered and what he said broke Yoel's heart. As he finished talking, he swung his hand and left."Sigh." Yoel sighed disappointingly as he watched Horus walk away. After a while, Horus arrived at Rachel's place with his bodyguards."Honey, I'm here to visit you again!" Horus' eyes lit up and took a gulp when he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the couch dressed in a sexy dress.Rachel had a plump figure but that does not stop her from being an attractive and sexy woman. It took just one look and men would be all over her. The moment Rachel saw Horus, her face looked terrible.As she saw her finger, she pretended to ask. Though, she already knew what happened. "Mister Horus, what happened to your hand?"Immediately, Horus put away the smile on his face
Although it was quite unethical and it would have Severin involved, she did not have another choice. Horus was thrilled to hear that. Naturally, he hoped Rachel would fall in love with him and marry him happily without him forcing her.However, after thinking about it, his face looked troubled. "But my useless brother is too cautious and careful. He was afraid of Severin and his bodyguards. So he persuaded my father and the elders not to go after Severin. After the meeting, they all agreed with him.""Yoel is going to be your competitor in the future when it is the time to inherit the family's wealth. Does your father prefer him since your father believes in him? You should be careful."With a purpose, Rachel tried to instigate after giving it a thought. "Look at your finger. Are you sure your father did not have the intention to seek revenge for you? Guess your father does not love you as much as you think.""No way!" Horus balled up his hand and said, "That's impossible. My fathe
"Equus—Hall!"After being stunned for a short moment, Rachel sprung up to her feet and looked surprised. Before her father passed away and had her taken over Serpent Hall, he had told her about the Dracodeus Temple. However, she did not know if the old wacko meant it when he said he was going to add more hall elsewhere. Neither did she know where the other halls were. When the old wacko left them, he disappeared, and never had them seen him again.Thus, the moment she heard Equus Hall it reminded and had her wondered if they were a part of the Dracodeus Temple."I'll go welcome them myself!"Rachel felt delighted. Immediately, she went outside. On her way out, she saw Great Elder and Second Elder, so she invited them to join her to welcome the guests."Gracie Swiften, the Hall Master of Equus Hall?"She was stunned the moment she saw Gracie. It was very rare to see such a feminine and attractive woman that even she found Gracie very attractive.Gracie nodded. "Let's talk inside.
Now that the Supreme Leader was here, they were relieved knowing the Supreme Leader was willing to help them."I don't want to marry him. He threatens to destroy Serpent Hall and kill my mother and my brother. So I didn't have a choice but to agree with his proposal."The moment Rachel talked about Horus, she looked angry.Severin smiled. "I'm getting married in a few days' time too. Once I found out what is happening here, I knew time is of the essence. That's why we rush over here immediately to help you solve the problem.""Supreme Leader. Their Great Elder is a level six warrior king. I don't know if you are…" Rachel looked at Severin and informed him.Severin's age was a reason she doubted if he had the ability to help her. If Severin was not a level seven or level eight warrior king, there was no way he could help her solve her problem.Severin smiled. "Don't worry. I came here with full confidence to help you. There's nothing you need to worry about. Bring me over after lu
