"Surina, he looks like some rich guy from one of South Link City's upper-class families. He couldn't have spent more than seventy-six million dollars to buy twenty units if he was just an ordinary businessman! We're talking about an astronomical sum here!" After some time had passed, Suga finally said to the red-clad Surina.In response, Surina chuckled. "Hehe, I'll remember what happened today. He'd better not show his face in front of me in the future, or else I'll make sure he knows what true regret is!"…Severin and Diane drove up to the villa and parked their car there. Less than ten minutes later, a fleet of cars drove up too, and in each vehicle were the Shanahans, whom Rachel sent over."How many units did you buy, Severin? I heard that South Link City is a big city, and the houses here cost a fortune! These villas are probably very expensive, right?" Judith could not help but ask Severin as she marveled at the luxurious villas before her.Severin smiled and said, "You ca
"Sure. Let's go do some shopping. I'm excited to have a look at the malls in this bustling city!" Diane smiled."You'll become the wife of the governor in three days. People will have known who you are by then, so you probably won't meet too many impudent individuals when you go out in the future!" Severin said after some thought."I don't care much for an undeserved reputation like that. My only hope is that our family will be safe and sound." Diane smiled and said, "But I do hope that grandma, my parents, and the Shanahans will be as strong as possible."Severin could not help but say to Diane, "Being safe isn't easy in this world unless you're already strong enough. If you accidentally provoked someone you can't afford to offend, then you'll become nothing more than a little lamb who can only be at someone else's mercy. Our priority right now is to make sure you get stronger!"The two of them chatted for a while before going out to do some shopping. Soon, the two of them came to
Shane was taken aback by Yoel's remark, but he immediately started laughing again. "Your grand-elder is dead, and there aren't any level six warrior kings among your ranks anymore. I'll be honest with you, my family—the Watts—might have been afraid of you in the past, but now there is an elder in our family who has gotten a breakthrough to level six warrior king. We also have a level five warrior king with us! Compare that to Neelys, whose strongest person is only a level five warrior king. What makes you think we'll be afraid of you?"He then paused for a breather before continuing, "Besides, those elders only followed your family because your father was the governor. I heard that your father died in Brookbourn, so how many elders do you think will risk themselves to fight against the Watts, especially when there is zero chance of you people winning!"Sure enough, Yoel's expression soured instantly when he heard that. He used to think that Shane would not dare to offend him even if
A dozen of Shane's bodyguards rushed up immediately, but because they were all grandmasters or profound masters, they were no match for someone like Severin and were defeated in less than ten seconds. Every single one of them writhed on the ground and began to groan in agony."My family is a second-tier family, and we have many more strong fighters. How dare you offend me? I'll remember what you did today, so you better not show yourself in front of me ever again. If you do, I'll bring my family's strongest men over to kill you!" Shane did not expect Severin to be so strong, and though he gave Severin a warning, he was so frightened that he retreated backward several steps."A second-tier family?" Severin's mind went blank for a moment. South Link City was truly a whole other ecosystem. Even a second-tier family would be so strong that he initially mistook them to be a first-tier family! It came as a truly huge surprise.Upon seeing Severin's surprised expression, Shane thought that
Severin took Yoel's cell phone, walked up to the young man, and handed over the cell phone. "You should bring some men with you whenever you go out in the future, or else you'll be the one who would have to suffer if you meet people like him and get beat up to a pulp!"Yoel smiled wryly and could not help saying, "Thank you, but… don't you hate me? My elder brother treated you so terribly, and he even brought my father and some of our men to cause trouble at your wedding."Severin answered with a smile, "I treat others the way they treat me. You're different from the two of them. Back then, you went to my house and warned me to leave because you were worried that I would be in danger. It shows that you have a good heart!"Yoel smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. I have nothing but gratitude for you today!""Hehe, no thanks necessary." Severin chuckled, then walked up to Diane and left with her.Yoel made a phone call, and some of the Neelys soon arrived to
"This hotel is much more magnificent than Bloomington. It's a six-star hotel, and those who could afford to spend their money here are either famous influencers, celebrities, or wealthy businessmen!" Diane introduced."Hehe, then my tastebuds are in luck today!" Megan chuckled and licked her lips.Everyone soon walked in and was led by the waiter into a huge VIP room. At that moment, Rachel and several elders of Serpent Hall were already waiting for them."I'm really sorry to keep you all waiting for so long!" Severin smiled and apologized to them."Don't worry about it, Severin. You're our boss from now on, so everyone here is at your disposal if you ever need our help!" Rachel said with a slight smile."You can serve the food now," the grand-elder immediately told one of the waiters.…Back at Brookbourn Mansion, Sheila sat alone on a stool under a gazebo in the yard and had a slightly melancholic look in her eyes.Zachariah walked over, sat by her side, then smiled at her as
Zachariah chuckled after hearing what Sheila said. "My dear, you have grown up. You used to be a stubborn girl and never accepted your defeat. And now you are not that girl anymore.""Alright. Stop praising me. Severin needs a bigger stage. A girl from a little city like me will never catch up with him!"Once Sheila thought about it, she felt better about it. "It's better for us to be good friends!""Oh. I'm leaving tomorrow. The mayors from all around the South County are going to attend the inauguration of the new governor. It's going to be very happening. I think only those mayors from further cities and smaller cities are going to miss this event. They know they have no chance even if they did go. But the rest of the mayors are going."Zachariah chuckled and said, "What do you think? Do you want to go? If you go, you can see Severin there."Knowing it was a chance to see Severin, Sheila was overjoyed with her eyes sparkling, "Really? I want to go! But it's not because I want t
The moment Rachel heard that, she blushed. Immediately, she rolled her eyes at her brother. "You idiot. What are you talking about? He has a wife!""So what? Look at those mayors. All of them have many mistresses. Every rich and capable man has more than one wife. Since you think he's so talented, it doesn't hurt to be his mistress," Glenn said cheekily."That's enough. Stop with the nonsense. I'm going to beat you if you continue." Rachel balled up her hand and threatened Glenn.Glenn saw it, ran for his life, and made a face while looking back. "How are you going to know if you didn't try? I really think he's pretty good. Anyway, you have my blessing!"Once Glenn was far away, Rachel frowned and mumbled to herself. "I know he's a good man but I'm not worthy to be with him. Plus, he's my boss!"After that, she shook her head. "What the hell am I thinking? Gosh, I need to stop it. I don't want to make things weird between us that we can't even be friends."During the gathering, t
