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
"Does everyone get a pill?" One woman felt drawn to it. After all, the offer of having such pills was simply too tempting for them. Just a single pill that allowed them to break through to the attainment of a level one warrior king would completely change the trajectory of their life.Besides, the profession of bodyguard carried extreme risk, and even if they chose to work under a different employer, there was still no guarantee that they would not be killed by their employer's enemies. Furthermore, Severin had promised that the bodyguards he hired would not be sent to deal with the people from Manny's family if the latter did bring their men over to cause trouble.Then again, they had no way to be sure if he was simply exaggerating.Severin smiled. "I'm a first-grade high-rank alchemist, so I don't think it's too difficult to ensure that one person gets one pill. If you work for me, you might even have a chance to enjoy second-grade pills in the future!"That statement made the cr
Those who were not selected could only sigh and lament their lack of luck. After all, securing a quick breakthrough to level one warrior king was the greatest opportunity they could hope to receive."Let's go then! Our first order of business is to check up on Maddie's brother and find out what's wrong with him!" Severin decided. He then ushered Maddie to lead the way and left the plaza along with Diane and the rest of the newly-hired bodyguards.Maddie looked at the people there and could not help but frown. "Sir, didn't you say that you were only looking to hire thirty bodyguards? There are already thirty of them here. Wouldn't my brother become the bodyguard number thirty-one if you cure him and decide to hire him?"Severin smiled. "It won't be a problem. An additional bodyguard is no big deal when I can afford to support even a hundred more if I wanted to. I just don't think it's necessary to have that many. I value quality over quantity, and their attainment level must be high
"Hey, Lenny, you miscalculated, didn't you? You would've been selected if you didn't trade barbs with the guy. After all, there aren't a lot of level nine profound masters around here, and you still have an advantage in that respect!" A profound master in the plaza said to the white-haired old man whom Severin had refused to hire.Lenny's mouth twitched a few times before he said, "Hmph. I might've squandered this opportunity, but there's no denying that he offended Yusky Mansion. Who knows, maybe he or even his men might end up getting killed! Working under him might not be as good a prospect as you might think!"…Maddie led Severin and the others to a hotel. "Mister Severin, my brother and I arrived here from another city, and because we don't have much money on us, our only choice was to stay in a hotel for the time being." She glanced around at everyone present there.Severin immediately understood. "Just wait downstairs. My wife and I will go with Maddie to visit her brother!
