Larry exchanged glances with Mick and laughed.Mick smiled. "Do you think we're the type of people who love being sycophants? We're just telling being honest here. This is the first time I've seen a genius like you!""That's right! You said that we'd have eleven months to break through to level nine warrior king, but it all feels so dreamlike even now. I can't imagine reaching such a high level of attainment!" Larry seemed to feel a little unconfident in his abilities."Let's all work our hardest. As for the remaining eight halls, you need to send more people out to locate them, and don't forget to reward those who have managed to find the other halls. Understood?" Severin then reminded everyone once again."Don't worry. We'll reward them for sure!" Gracie said boldly."All right then! This meeting is hereby dismissed. Try to get a breakthrough when you have time to spare!" Severin waved his hand and bid farewell to them.He, along with the Shanahans, drove back home in no time.
As soon as Eustace saw Severin, he immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of the man. "Thank you for saving me, Mister Severin. I would be dead if it weren't for you. I promise to work hard under you to repay your kindness!"Severin smiled and helped him up. "No thanks necessary. All you need to do is train hard from now on and improve yourself!"Having said that, he asked Lillie to arrange a place for the two of them to stay. Once they had settled down, he gathered all the bodyguards he hired and have them wait for him in the yard. Severin looked at all the bodyguards in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. "There are thirty-one of you, and if we add the bodyguards that I brought over from Brookbourn, then the total would be a somewhat small team of only fifty people. I've already helped some of my longer-serving bodyguards improve their attainment, so now I'm going to do the same for all thirty-one of you. Every one of you here can break through to level one warrior
Diane rolled her eyes at Sheila. "What are you talking about? You're very good-looking, and you're also kind at heart. How could you say such a thing?""Even though he saved me yesterday, I still feel like a useless person. His attainment must be very high, while I have nothing! My attainment is terrible, and I'd probably only be a burden if I stay by his side!" Sheila then said.Diane felt the same way before too. "We can train up until the level of a grandmaster, and once we reach level nine, we'll be able to protect ourselves a little. At the very least, we don't need to be afraid of normal thugs anymore."Sheila smiled wryly. "I don't have the talent for attainment. I've trained before, and now I'm a level five grandmaster, but I later heard the elders saying that those without attainment talent will never be able to have a breakthrough to profound master because they can't sense the spiritual energy surrounding them. That's the reason we can't have any more breakthroughs, and w
"Babe! That's the guy! That's the one who bullied me!" Namvail's people had arrived too, and the person who made that remark was Surina, who had gone up to her husband Regan and complained to him after seeing Severin in the distance.Regan looked over immediately. "Why is he here? Hmph, he's too powerful for us, babe. We're no match for him right now, but once I become the governor, I'll hire a strong person in the future to help you end his life!""Thank you, hubby! You can do it! I believe you!" Surina said and immediately kissed Regan on the face.Regan pretended to be modest as he said, "You can't be so confident, you know. Even if my relationship with Mister Calum is pretty good and I had dinner with him before, there's no telling who will be appointed as the new south county governor."Regan then led his men to where Severin was and glanced at Severin with disdain. "I heard you're from Brookbourn. Are you here to witness the ceremony?"Severin could not help himself from smi
"Is that so? I'm happy to oblige. We can then see if your elders have what it takes to take me on!" Severin maintained his faint smile and walked in."Is he from Brookbourn Mansion?" Yacob asked angrily as he looked at Severin from behind.Beside him, Surina came forward. "No, he's not. He's probably from some small family!""Hehe, how dare he show such arrogance when he's not even from Brookbourn Mansion?" Yacob became even angrier, and after a moment's thought, he said to the old man beside him, "Tail that kid once the conferment ceremony ends. If you get a chance to kill him, do it without any hesitation.""Not a problem!" The old man nodded immediately.Manny, who stood behind him, was secretly reveling in delight. As long as Severin was killed, then Manny would have a field day dealing with Severin's woman. When the time comes and she loses her backing, she might just decide to be with him on her initiative."By the way, Mister Yacob, did he offend you too? This is quite a c
For the record, the mayors of cities within the south county would usually pay a certain sum to South County Mansion every year, but it was always the war god who had the final say as to the amount, and it was also always agreed in advance.However, that decision had somehow been left in the hands of the new governor, and the mayors would be out of luck if the governor turned out to be a greedy person. In any case, a war god's words were gospel and his statements could not be challenged—all that the people could do was smile and applaud.Of course, some people were getting increasingly eager, as they felt that they stood a chance of being appointed to the position."Let's cut to the chase then. I will now announce the name of the person who will become the new governor, and that person will then be invited on the stage to receive the governor's token!" Calum then said insipidly, "There are plenty of tables over here, so let's all eat and drink once the ceremony is over!"Everyone a
"These two can't be serious. They know that the Severin is going to be the governor, and yet they're bold enough to say such a thing?""They probably think that they had a good chance of being appointed to the position, so they're unhappy that Severin took the chance away from them. Why else would they be so bold as to question a war god like that?"The other mayors, whose chances of being appointed were very slim to begin with, started to whisper softly when they saw how brave Yacob and Regan were in standing up and saying such a thing."Unsuitable?" Calum's face soured, and he was obviously a little unhappy. "Who do you think is suitable then?"Calum's petulant expression left both Yacob and Regan trembling in fright. However, when they thought about how they might be targeted—perhaps even killed—if Severin became the governor, they decided that they had no choice but to step forth.Regan gritted his teeth. "Our main objection is that Mister Severin isn't the mayor. Hasn't the p
Before long, more and more people joined in the shoe-shining session, and two men even came forth to condemn the shameless behavior that Regan and Yacob displayed. Regan and Yacob lowered their heads and were speechless for a bit since they had somehow turned into the target of public criticism."Quiet, please!" Severin stretched out his hand and gestured for everybody to remain silent. "Let's talk about the offerings. I'm not going to set a standard rate for everyone because that'll be too troublesome!"Everyone listened closely after hearing Severin get into the details of what everyone wanted to hear. They all wanted to know how much they needed to pay.Severin smiled slightly. "As you all know, my name is Severin, which sounds pretty similar to the number 'seven'. For that reason, you will only need to offer seventy percent of what you used to offer in the past. This means that I'm giving you a thirty percent discount. Just make sure you hand the money in on time!""A thirty pe
