Maros paused briefly after that remark before continuing, "In this world, there are still many families who live in seclusion, with techniques passed down from generation to generation. However, they are always very reclusive, and they generally do not appear among the masses. I've even heard about some secluded sects with many strong individuals. A city of mortals possesses little spiritual energy and is no longer enough to meet their needs. These people have chosen to go to greener pastures!""Do you mean to say that Severin is probably some genius from a secluded family or a powerhouse from a certain sect?" Miya asked curiously after hearing what her father said.Maros nodded. "Yes. He's the only level nine warrior king that I've ever seen besides the Four Great War Gods, so I believe he's the kind of person who doesn't come from any ordinary family. He's likely a genius who originated from a secluded family or sect but has since decided to forgo his life in seclusion to experienc
There was a huge crowd at the plaza, and several unaffiliated practitioners stood there to join some of the stronger families or forces. Some sought those forces' protection or training resources, while others simply wished to have a backer. Everyone stood there at the plaza, and some even wore placards that stated their attainment level and their expected salary."This can't be real! I just looked around and saw that some of these grandmasters are asking for a monthly salary of four-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars. Some profound masters are even asking for a monthly salary of fifteen thousand!" Diane exclaimed in surprise as she glanced across the area. She did not expect people with that level of attainment to demand such a high salary.Severin smiled. "I'll be honest with you, some of these people became bodyguards because they're in some sort of difficulty that requires money. People who have an attainment of level one profound master are rare in a small city like Brookbourn,
"That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?" Manny felt that Jinny's perverted statement was a bit over the top, which he attributed to bad taste. However, once he looked in the direction that Jinny was looking, he was immediately captivated by Diane's appearance.At that moment, Diane was following Severin with a faint smile on her face. That smile was extremely charming, and anyone who saw her at first glance would notice that her aura was so much better than ordinary women."She truly is a beauty!" Manny could not help but gulp as he stared at her. "It's unfortunate that she's already taken.""What's so unfortunate about that? You can win at any game if you bend the rules! If you want her, then there's no reason why you can't get her to stay by your side all the time!" Jinny smiled mischievously.He then glanced at the many masters behind him, and could not help but say, "Sir, it's an all-too-common occurrence that the forces in South Link City fight almost every day. How
Jinny, who was standing next to Manny, was just as elated when he heard that Diane was from Brookbourn. He gave Manny an introduction, saying, "Mister Manny here is a powerful person. He's the son of Yusky's governor, and the only son no less! He has a very bright future ahead of him!"After that introduction, Jinny felt that it was not convincing enough, so he deliberately whispered to her while pretending to be mysterious, "Yusky Mansion will highly likely be appointed to South County Mansion on the day after tomorrow!"Both Manny and Jinny believed that Diane would be filled with surprise and admiration when she heard that. They even thought that she would take the initiative to ask for Manny's number so she could secretly contact him and ditch Severin at the soonest opportunity in favor of him.However, after listening to Jinny's words, Diane remained very calm and finally said with a slightly weird expression, "How can you be so sure about it when nothing has been made official
"Haha!" Jinny and the two bodyguards burst into laughter after hearing that."Hey, Jinny, this kid is joking, right? Can you imagine this guy trying to intimidate us when he's from a small city like Brookbourn?" One of the guys said.Jinny then asked with a smile, "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Yusky Mansion has strong individuals that have the attainment of a level seven warrior king! I don't think even one such person exists in the whole of Brookbourn! How dare you threaten us?""That's right! He probably got kicked in the head by a donkey! " The third guy laughed with a smug look on his face.Many onlookers could not help but look sympathetically at Severin and Diane. After all, the two of them would be as good in for some big trouble if they offended the people from Yusky Mansion."Sigh, these people will continue to pester us like ignorant fools if I don't teach them a lesson today." Severin could only sigh as he stepped forward to kick one of the bodyguards away. A le
"Jinny! Are you okay?" Of the three people who went with him, two were seriously injured—and one of them was Jinny, whose arm had been broken. The only person who was left standing could feel his knees turn weak before he could make a move, and he decided to help Jinny up instead of attacking Severin."Just wait, kid! You'll regret this!" Jinny yelled sharply and immediately endured the pain to head back to Manny.Manny's face was extremely sour, and it had turned ashen due to the increased discussion all around him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, kid! You're as good as dead now that you've offended Yusky Mansion!" He then immediately waved his hand and led his men away."Sigh, I have no words for this sort of people!" Diane looked helplessly at Severin, for she did not expect to undergo such a thing would happen when they were busy trying to recruit some bodyguards.Severin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Hehe, don't worry about it. I'm just
Severin looked at the petite teen in front of him and a faint green glow appeared in his eyes. He immediately saw through the opponent's attainment, and though the girl was still young, she was telling the truth when she claimed that she was a level eight profound master.The girl was a little anxious after hearing all the slander from those around her, and she immediately asserted, "I'm telling the truth! I am a level eight profound master!"After she finished speaking, she channeled a thought in her mind and released some spiritual energy to cloak it around her fist. "Look at the fluctuation. Isn't this the sort of attainment a level eight profound master should have?""Not bad! You've reached the peak of level eight profound master!" Severin smiled, then nodded in satisfaction before saying, "I can agree to your request and give you two years' advance salary first, but don't you dare lie to me!""Thank you! I promise I won't lie to you!" She was overjoyed after Severin said yes.
"Yeah, it feels like he's just exaggerating!""I couldn’t agree more. Besides, they're probably not that rich anyway, otherwise, they would've recruited more than just thirty bodyguards. If they're a force from Brookbourn who's new to the city, then they should have aimed to recruit upward of a hundred people!"All of a sudden, many people began to offer their comments too.The white-haired old man said proudly, "He's not just exaggerating, you know. Joining their family at such a time is practically the same as sending yourself to the gallows! The risk is too high. After all, everyone saw how they offended the son of a mayor! Yusky is one of the south county's largest cities, and since they've offended such a big shot, it won't be long before Yusky Mansion finds out where these chaps live! When the time comes, all their bodyguards will have to die."Sure enough, many people gasped when they heard that. Indeed, the price offered by Severin was not very high, and they might be targe
