"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
Sheila nodded. "Okay. Hearing you say that fills me with reassurance."Diane smiled and said, "Sheila and I were planning to go shopping, so since you're leaving tomorrow, why don't you go shopping with us today if you have nothing else to do?"Severin agreed without hesitation. "Sure. I've done everything I needed to do today anyway. I'll be happy to go shopping with you two and relax a little too.""Yay!" Sheila jumped for joy and clapped her hands when she heard that Severin was going to go shopping with her and Diane. However, she soon realized that her reaction was not too appropriate and lowered her head shyly.Sheila's demeanor prompted Diane to roll her eyes at Severin and say, "Can't you see how much Sheila cares about you? She's more than happy that you agreed to go shopping with her."Severin's heart finally could not help but soften, as if a certain heartstring had been tugged. Sheila was undoubtedly a very good-looking woman, and he could see Sheila's affection for hi
"Okay. I'll do as you say." Sheila nodded, and the two of them immediately went up to either side of Severin and held his arm."Wait a second, Sheila. This doesn't seem like a good idea." Severin was not flustered when Diane held him, but he felt incredibly awkward when two beautiful women held one arm each. The envious looks from all around him made him feel even shier. After all, it was his first time encountering such a thing despite being the master to the war gods.Before Sheila could say anything, Diane remarked from the side, "Do you have any idea how many people are jealous of you because you get to have two women? Why are you feeling all embarrassed? Hehe, I suppose you're not as brave as I thought even though you're the master of the four war gods."Diane then paused and said again, "Besides, since the three of us are out shopping, it'd be more awkward for Sheila if I held your hand but Sheila doesn't. She'll be like a third wheel then."Sheila's heart was beating non-sto
