Severin said with a smile, "Bloodshed is the last thing I want on my wedding day."The despairing Mason had a sudden glimmer of hope when he heard that and nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, you're right. A wedding isn't the place for there to be bloodshed, so it'd be best to just forget about what happened and let us leave."However, Severin's next remark came as a surprise for him. "Those elders are allowed to live, but this man and his son deserve to be killed!""I was wrong," Horus begged. "I know I was wrong! Please just give us the chance to leave!""Thank you for sparing us. Thank you, great Mister Severin! Thank you, war gods!" The Neelys' elders prostrated themselves on the ground one by one and trembled in fear.Severin smiled again. "You may leave now.""We will! Thank you so much, Mister Severin!" The elders were so scared that they stood up at once and left. They were afraid of staying there a moment longer."Apprehend these two men, kill them, and throw their corpses o
At that moment, in a small alley not far from the hotel, several of the Neelys' elders were trembling with fear."That was the most terrifying moment in my life. It's all thanks to Mister Severin's kindness that we were allowed to live!" The second elder said with a trembling voice. He still felt as though he was dreaming, and even his legs were feeling a little weak.After all, under those circumstances earlier, they knew that they were going to be killed had they acted like Horus and caused chaos at the wedding. Severin's decision to let everyone else go except for Horus and Mason was undoubtedly a very magnanimous one."Yeah, his temper is incredibly different from ordinary people, and I never dreamed that he would be the master of the four war gods. Why haven't I heard any mention of the war gods having a master?" The third elder's voice was just as shaky as the second when he spoke.At that moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley and walked toward them. The elde
"This is the end for the Neelys, I suppose. Our status will be reduced to that of an ordinary family. Following the death of the current governor, a new person must be elected to become the new governor. It's not a position that can be inherited!"The second elder looked at Yoel pitifully and said, "If the Neelys are no longer the governor, I'm afraid that some of the connections we made in the past won't be useful anymore. Some of the families and forces decided to associate themselves with us based on the sole fact that your father was the governor!"However, Yoel felt incredibly relieved and said with a faint smile, "It's fine. Even if we're no longer South County Mansion, we can still be regarded as a second-tier family in South Link City as long as the elders are still around. At our worst, we're just slightly inferior to some of the first-tier families!""I'm glad that you can accept this with an open heart. Severin is the kind of person that no one can afford to offend. Don't
"Of course he does! Who wouldn’t want to take up such a position as prestigious as the governor?" Felicia's eyes lit up immediately as soon as she heard that there was hope for Severin to assume the job. The way she saw it, Calum's remark about making Severin a war god was probably in jest, but the decision to make Severin the governor was entirely Calum's prerogative.Although the Shanahans were on the right track in terms of progress, Brookbourn was still a small city and there were thus plenty of restrictions on their development. If Severin became the governor, then the Shanahans could take advantage of their relationship with him and make their mark in a place as huge as South Link City. More importantly, the relationship between Severin and the four war gods meant that there was nothing for the Shanahans to fear in the future.Calum looked at Severin and asked, "What do you think? Would you like to try your hand at becoming the governor?"Severin noticed the expectant glances
Severin stepped forward, placed his arms around Diane's waist, and said, "Why would I bother with alchemy when tonight's our wedding night? I have a beautiful woman waiting for me right here too!"Diane's cheeks were slightly red as she said to Severin, "Why all the fuss about our wedding night? Our daughter is already a young girl! You're making me feel embarrassed when you say all that!"Severin replied with a smile, "By the way, honey, you're going to the be wife of a governor. How does that make you feel? Are you happy?"Diane smiled slightly. "When I was broke, all I hoped was to become rich. The main reason I thought that way was because I didn't want Selene to suffer. Now that I have the money, I feel like safety is more important than anything else. Money now becomes a number for me, and I'm content to have food on our tables, clothes to wear, and the liberty to buy whatever we want."After a brief pause, she continued, "On the contrary, I'm more interested in breaking thro
A day later, Gracie, Mick, Larry, and Rachel came to meet with Severin according to his instructions."Why did you call us here today, Supreme Leader?" Gracie asked with a little grin once she confirmed that there were no outsiders around. She was wearing a shorter leather skirt with a pink-and-white thin knit sweater top, which made her look cute yet sexy at the same time. Even her grin became that much more charming.Severin looked at them and conjured up four small bottles with a wave of his palm. He then handed the bottles to them and said, "Here are the pills that I've refined. Each person will get a few first-grade low-rank pills and two first-grade medium-rank pills. These pills are very useful for those who are profound masters and can be used in your training!""You're amazing, sir! I never imagined you'd know alchemy! Why didn't we know about it before?" Mick expressed his surprise as he took the bottle from Severin. His attainment base was only that of a level seven prof
As soon as they all heard that, their eyes lit up and they were overwhelmed with excitement."Okay! We'll work hard!" Larry clenched his fists with a resolute expression."Don't worry," Gracie reassured, "you should focus on raising your proficiency in alchemy. We'll do our best to ask around and send our people to locate the other hall masters. I'm sure we can find the other eight halls in no time!" She was as resolute as Larry was.Severin nodded and reminded the four of them. "When you begin your search, perhaps you can go to different regions, such as focusing on certain forces in certain cities. It'll be much more efficient that way!""Thank you for reminding us." Rachel nodded too.Severin looked at them and said again, "You're all aware that I'll be moving to South Link City to take up the position of South Governor in the next few days, so if there's anything you need, feel free to call me or visit me there!""Hehe, then I'll visit you often!" Rachel smiled and said, "I'm
Severin merely laughed when he heard that. "I don't want to be recognized everywhere I go. Anyway, the spiritual energy in Brookbourn is much thinner, and the energy in South Link City would be much denser than here! Everything's set then!"It was noon by the time they finished chatting, and Severin asked Judith to prepare some lunch for them before sending them off. For Severin, even second-grade medium-rank pills would be of little use to his attainment, so there was no point in him keeping them. To that end, he distributed all the pills that he refined a few days ago to the four hall masters. His priority at that moment was to keep practicing alchemy to improve his proficiency. The rest would have to wait until the four hall masters have improved their attainment.Meanwhile, the Shanahans were all extremely excited about the big move, and they were busy selling off their assets during the past two days. It was to ensure that they had enough money in their hands so they could imme
