Rachel smiled and said, "Sure, I've already made a reservation! You've helped me out big time, so I insist on treating you tonight!""Sure thing! I'll make sure to stuff myself to the fullest!" Severin laughed.Not a lot of people from the Shanahans came along since most of their bodyguards and servants had been let go. Apart from Lillie and her group, the only bodyguards who were brought along were those who had better attainment than most.Severin planned to live with the Shanahans because he and they could mutually support each other. Since he was going to be heading South County Mansion as the governor, he planned to visit the city center the next day to select a few strong bodyguards. After all, the ones from Brookbourn are either low-level profound masters or low-level grandmasters, and they were wholly inadequate for such places.After saying that, he turned to Catherine and said, "You and everyone else should go with Rachel and rest at her place. Diane and I will have a loo
That middle-aged man was Lance York, an elder of the Hillguard Gang who had always liked Rachel and wanted to win her heart. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to do so. Later on, he was so heartbroken after learning that Rachel was forced to marry Horus that got drunk several times alone.His Hillguard Gang was strong enough to face Serpent Hall, but he could not do anything after learning about Rachel's forced marriage because their gang could never be a match for South County Mansion. Moreover, he was just an elder, and their gang leader would never have allowed the gang to make an enemy out of the county mansion for the sake of a woman that their elder fell for.A few days ago, when he heard that the grand-elder of the South County Mansion had been killed and the wedding was called off, he became extremely excited and was filled with a glimmer of hope.Then, he came to know that another more important piece of news—the Neelys, who were the current leaders of South County Man
The bald man did not hold back at all and said, "Keep dreaming, kid? We're not from Serpent Hall. We're from the Hillguard Gang! This is one of our elders!"Lance's crush on Rachel was well known to them, and one of the guys went so far as to shine Lance's shoes by saying, "Do you know who he is? He's Rachel's boyfriend, Lance Kirk!""Boyfriend?" Severin glanced skeptically at the other person. Lance looked like an unsavory character, and his appearance was far from spectacular either. He did not think that Rachel would fall for someone like him.Lance was overjoyed when he heard his men's flattery, but that joy soon turned into gloom when he saw Severin's expression. "What's with that look, kid? Do you doubt us?"Severin laughed. "I think you're just bragging. I've never heard from Rachel that she has a boyfriend. She never mentioned that at all.""Tch. Who do you think you are? Why would she tell you if she has a boyfriend?" The baldie spat on the floor beside him and said to Se
"AGH!" The bald man wailed in pain and covered his injured arm with his other hand. His face turned pale as he said, "We're doomed. I have a broken bone, and the punch he just threw at me was almost on the level of a level nine profound warrior!"The baldie's attainment had reached level six profound master and was thus quite decent. However, he was powerless to withstand Severin's casual punch."I didn't think you'd have such a high attainment. You have it coming for you now that you've hurt one of my men!" The smile of schadenfreude on Lance's face had disappeared, and in place of it was a cold expression."I had no choice. You were asking for it when you called me a car thief and insulted my wife!" Severin smiled insipidly and had an indifferent look on his face."Do you think you're strong just because you're a level nine profound master? Let me handle him!" Another guy took a step forward and manifested a surge of spiritual energy as he clenched his fist. When his fist began t
Lance shook his numb fist with an ugly expression, for he had never expected the young man in front of him to have such a high level of attainment. However, Lance still felt puzzled because someone with such high attainment could not have lacked the means to afford a car that was worth about three hundred thousand dollars.In other words, Rachel probably did give the guy her car! Then again, Lance wondered why Rachel would give that man her favorite car instead of the many others in her collections. He was curious as to who that man was to Rachel.A sudden thought occurred to the level one warrior king and he could not help but said to Lance: "Sir, this kid has such a high attainment, and he's a powerful warrior king too. He didn't have to go so far as to steal a car, right? Could Rachel really have given it to him?"Lance looked at Severin, stepped forward, and asked, "What's your relationship with Rachel? Why would she give her favorite car to you? Are you a close relative of hers
The two rich women were both in their forties, but they were rich enough to afford frequent beauty treatments. They were able to take good care of their skin, and anyone who saw them at first glance would think that they were in their thirties, since even the clothes they wore were leaning more toward the more sexy and alluring kind of fashion. However, Severin's remark was like a tight slap in the face.One of the women who was clad in a red dress walked over immediately and glared at Severin, saying, "What are you going on about? Who are you calling an old hag?"The other woman, who was wearing a white dress, came over and said angrily, "He even called us crows!"Severin smiled and said, "I'm not wrong. You two are crows. What makes you think we have no money?"The woman in red held back her anger and answered with a cold smile, "Do you want us to expose you? Well, aren't the ring and necklace that your wife is wearing both fake?"Severin frowned and immediately understood what
"How dare you call me an old hag! You're asking for trouble!"The other party could not bear it anymore and yelled directly, "Guys!" Several men who were smoking by the entrance rushed in at once."Ma'am, is something the matter?" asked a guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a somewhat hostile attitude. It was obvious that he was a tricky person to deal with.The woman in red smiled triumphantly and said to Severin, "You should kneel and apologize to me! My name is Surina Lehman, and I'm the mistress of Namvail Mansion's mayor! Do you have any idea who you're dealing with right now?"Severin frowned when he heard that and said, "Tsk, tsk. 'The mistress of Namvail Mansion' sounds like a formidable person to deal with, but isn't Namvail pretty far from here? What are you doing here, anyway?"Surina smiled smugly. "So, how do you feel now? Are you scared?"She then paused for a moment before continuing, "If you are, then you should kneel and apologize to me right now! Oh, and don'
"H-H-How dare you hit me?" The saleswoman covered her face in disbelief. She was one of the more senior employees there, and she got to know many rich people after successfully selling many villas to them. Perhaps the frequency with which she dealt with those rich people clouded her eyes and made her feel as though she was also a rich woman.The aggrieved expression on the sales woman's face prompted Surina to come forth and say, "Hehe, you're spineless! Is bullying a salesperson all you can do?"After saying that, she turned to the saleswoman and comforted. "Don't worry, Jill. I'll have my people teach him a good lesson later. He'll have to kneel and apologize to me, my sister, and slap himself ten times before I'll let him leave!"When the saleswoman heard that, she was overjoyed and said immediately, "Thank you, Miss Surina!"Surina smiled again. "We've decided to buy two fully-furnished and renovated villas, and we'll be making the full payment right away!" She made a point to
