That simple sentence shocked Sheila. She wondered how strong Severin was that a second-grade low-rank pill actually could not provide any benefit to him.She gave it a thought. "Severin. Tell me, have you fallen in love with Rachel and Gracie? I know you treat Larry well because you're the master of Draco Hall. But why are you also treating the hall masters of Mus Hall, Equus Hall, and Serpent Hall well too?"Since there was no one else around, Severin answered, "Because they are under me too. They are also my subordinates. Mus Hall, Equus Hall, and Serpent Hall are part of the Dracodeus Temple's hall too!""What?" Sheila gasped.After a while, she smacked her tight. "No wonder they had shifted from their original cities to here. So that's why!"Diane chuckled looking at Sheila's reaction. "I'll explain to you in a while when I'm free. There're more halls under him and eight are still missing.""What? Missing? You need to search them by yourself?"It created more questions for S
After the bodyguard left, Zachariah asked, "They're from Yusky? Do we know them? I don't seem to recall having any contact with the forces there."Zenoah thought for a moment and said, "The only people we've met from Yusky are those from Yusky Mansion during Severin's appointment in South Link City. Could it be them? We've never contacted any other forces in Yusky before that.""That's odd. Why would they come to look for us then? They had a grudge against Severin and offended him before knowing that he was the current governor, but later knelt to apologize to him. It was pretty embarrassing at the time. I wonder why they're here to see us."Zachariah could not wrap his head around why Yacob and Manny would come to meet them.Zenoah pondered over it and took a guess. "Do you think they're here because we have a good relationship with Severin? Perhaps they saw that we were in South County Mansion at the time, so now they're planning to cooperate with us on projects and do some busin
"Haha, you're right, Mister Zachariah!" Yacob laughed and took out a spatial ring. "I've brought all the betrothal gifts here though. There's gold, silver, and plenty of jewelry, not to mention spiritual herbs. I can't understand why you would refuse when my son is so handsome that even many other mansions or wealthy businessmen would jump at the chance to marry their daughters off to him?"Manny then said, "Uncle, perhaps you can call Sheila first and ask her. I believe she'll agree to it once she knows about this."Zachariah thought about it and replied, "To be honest, I don't think she'll agree even if I called her."Those remarks instantly made Yacob feel as though he had been given a slap, and his expression soured tremendously as a result. As he and his son were making their way to Brookbourn Mansion, he had already imagined in his heart how happy and excited Zachariah and Sheila would be when they found out that he had brought his son to propose marriage.Alas, Zachariah rej
Yacob put away the spatial ring and looked intently at Zachariah, as if he wanted to see through Zachariah's inner thoughts. He then said, "If your daughter is already in a relationship with Severin and has reached the point where they're considering marriage, then we won't go ahead with the marriage proposal anymore and vie for her with the governor."Then, Yacob paused as a little grin appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But you'd better not let me find out that you're lying to me, otherwise I won't show you any mercy!""W-why would I fear you? That's impossible." Zachariah replied immediately, but he felt frightened in his heart because he did not seem to be lying."We're leaving." Yacob shot Zachariah another look before waving his hand and leading his men away.Zachariah and Zenoah finally had a look of relief when the Ladds left."Yacob doesn't seem to trust us, Zachariah. Do you think he'll try to find out whether that's true?" Zenoah could not help but ask when that thou
"But wouldn't this be unjust for you?" Sheila was overjoyed in an instant, and she immediately hoped that the Ladds would come over to verify her relationship with Severin.Although Severin said that they were just going to put on a charade, she was looking forward to it even though it was just play-pretending."Hehe, there's nothing unjust about that. True injustice is getting you to pretend to be my girlfriend!" Severin chuckled and remarked off the top of his head."It's not an injustice at all! I'll never feel that way even if I pretend every day!" Sheila said hurriedly, but after she finished speaking, she soon realized that she was a bit too forthright in his statement. She lowered her head, blushed, and said, "I'd feel honored to be able to pretend to be your girlfriend!"Severin was speechless. He had completely forgotten that she was a very forward woman and did not know what else to say when she made that remark. In addition, Sheila was around him most of the time, which
"We just had a breakthrough not too long ago, and it'll take a few days for us to stabilize at our current level. We'll use this pill to break through once that stabilization has occurred. I can't help but wonder what level I'll be able to break through after eating this pill!" Larry said with a smile.Rachel said, "You're a level one warrior king, so this sort of pill will be most effective for someone of your attainment. There's a chance you and Mick can break through to level three warrior king! Gracie is already a level two warrior king, so it might be difficult for her to break through to a level four warrior king. However, I believe she will easily be able to break through to peak-stage level three warrior king."She then paused for a moment and reiterated, "Of course, these are just speculation on my end. I can't say for sure what sort of attainment you'd be able to get in the end.""Stop talking and take the pills. I've been stretching my hand out for so long that it's getti
"Understood. We'll stay back here then." Rachel nodded, looked at her phone again, and frowned immediately before saying to Severin, "Sir, our guy just relayed some new information about the situation in Tigris Hall. The hall is apparently in a complicated situation right now, so it'll probably be best for you to get a lowdown before proceeding any further."Severin nodded, and said again, "It's all thanks to his efforts that we were able to locate Tigris Hall. Make sure to reward him when he returns. Anyone who has successfully located the other halls must be given a reward."Rachel smiled and said, "Not to worry. I'll make sure he's rewarded handsomely.""Okay then, if there's nothing else, you may all head back and continue training hard." Severin waved his hand and dismissed everyone.The four hall masters then left happily after taking their respective pills.It was still early, and Severin was in no rush to leave. Therefore, he decided to refine some more pills which he coul
With a smile, Severin took out six small porcelain bottles and handed them to the girls. "Don't worry, I'm not going to give you something as crude as money for your first reward! Each of you will get one bottle."Severin smiled and said, "I'm leaving for Drackham tomorrow, and I'll leave it to you six to ensure my family's safety.""Rest assured we'll do our best." Lillie smiled, then opened the porcelain bottle to take a peek inside."No way! Aren't these second-grade low-rank pills? Am I seeing this correctly? There are two of them too. This is the kind of thing that is difficult to get even if you have money." Lillie gulped excitedly.Naomi and the others were initially a little shy to open the porcelain bottle and see the contents, but they went ahead and did so as soon as they heard what Lillie said. As soon as they saw that they were also given two second-grade low-rank pills, their faces turned pale for a moment before it was overtaken by a look of surprise."You're amazin
