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
As soon as Severin put forth that question, both Regan and Yacob stiffened."Murderous intent? You wanted to kill him? Do you know who he is? Not even a hundred of your lives are worth as much as a fraction of his!" Calum had a gloomy expression when he heard that and immediately questioned Regan and Yacob.He then looked at Severin. "Would you like me to kill them both?"Had it not been for Severin's insistence on not causing too big of a stir in the city and his dislike of having his identity revealed, Calum would have called Severin 'master' already. Even so, many of the guests there were shocked because Calum's tone sounded like he was asking for advice, much like the attitude of a subordinate seeking direction from a superior."Spare us!" Regan was so shell-shocked that he immediately knelt on the ground. Then, his mistress Surina, along with his men, did the same one after another."It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! You got us all wrong here!" Surina had
After Severin and Diane got out of the car, Felicia and Megan came with several others to greet them. "Welcome home, governor and wife of the governor!"Diane and Severin exchanged a dumbfounded glance with each other, and they were left stupefied by the welcome that they received."Did you and Megan put up the plaque, Mom?" Diane asked as soon as she went up to Felicia.Before Felicia could even answer, Megan said, "Hehe, that was us! You might not know this, but as soon as you and Severin left the home, Mom asked me to could look for someone to help us put it up!"Diane was speechless and she almost fainted after hearing that. 'They sure are excited.'"Where's the token? I'd like to see it, Severin!" Felicia immediately ran to Severin with a smile and asked eagerly with an expectant look.Severin took out the token and handed it over to her."Wow… this… isn't this made of real gold? It feels so good to the touch!" Felicia took the token and touched it excitedly.Severin smile
