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
"It is him! He's with his wife, and the woman looks like Sheila! Is he going shopping with two women?" Manny's expression turned glum when he saw the situation. "Darn him! Why must the women I like be so into him?" He then paused for a while before saying to his father, "Judging from the looks of it, Severin and Sheila might be a genuine couple, otherwise she couldn't have gone shopping with him and his wife. It would've been awkward for her in that situation. She even stayed behind at South Link City all by herself even though her family had already returned to Brookbourn."The driver nodded in approval. "When you put it that way, Zachariah couldn't have lied to us, and there's no need for us to test them anymore. Their relationship has probably progressed to the point where they will be married soon. Severin is lucky to get two beautiful wives."Manny clenched his fist, and said viciously, "I wish I could kill Severin right now, Dad. I feel so frustrated right now."Yacob shook
Manny could not help but say with a chuckle, "Don't get me wrong here, I came to South Link City because I have a friend who's getting married in two days. I was invited to the wedding, so I decided to just come a couple of days in advance."He then smiled at Sheila and said, "Well, it's quite a surprise that you're already in a relationship with the governor, Miss Sheila. You're such an adorable, pretty, and gentle woman. I would have wanted to grow old with someone as adorable, pretty, and gentle as you, but I never imagined that you were about to get married to Mister Severin soon."A bodyguard behind him then cooperated with Manny by saying, "Yeah, back at the appointment ceremony the other day, we noticed that the relationship between yourself and the governor was unlike that of a couple. I say that because you didn't interact much with him that day, so we never would have thought that you two were together."When Severin heard that, he sneered coldly and explained, "Did you ex
Manny gritted his teeth and said, "You're right. Unless Severin is stupid, he wouldn't have let such a beautiful woman slip through his fingers. They're probably a true couple then. It's time we let both the grand-elder and the second elder execute the plan ahead of schedule."After saying that, Manny immediately led the bodyguards back to the car in anger."Sheila really is Severin's girlfriend?" Yacob had a rough idea of what transpired after seeing Manny return with a gloomy expression.Manny nodded. "Just tell our grand-elder and second elder to execute the plan. Sheila might end up marrying him if we take too long to get it done, and I don't want to marry a widow.""Sure thing." Yacob nodded, then walked up to the car behind and relayed to the grand-elder and the second elder. He instructed them to find the best possible opportunity—preferably at night when Severin went out alone—to kill him.After Severin, Diane, and Sheila finished shopping, the three of them decided to go
Severin was on the flight at that moment, and an incredibly beautiful woman was sitting beside him. Since Severin had nothing to do, he decided that he was going to close his eyes to get some rest. Little did he expect that a rich guy in a white suit would come up to him just before he could close his eyes.The guy said, "Let me sit here, dude!"Seeing Severin close his eyes, the other guy kicked Severin lightly and said, "I'll give you fifteen thousand dollars. Sounds good?"Severin then opened his eyes and glanced at the guy, who was of a slender build, medium height, and seemed a little arrogant in the way he cocked his head slightly.Before Severin could say anything, the beautiful woman next to him made a counteroffer. "Don't let him sit here. I'll give you double the money he's offering!"The rich man immediately smiled and said, "It must be destiny that led us to board the same flight together, Miss Yolanda. Can't I sit beside you for just a while?"The woman whom Severin
Earl's lips twitched violently, for he never dreamed that Severin would refuse him even when Yolanda did not raise her offer."We're talking a hundred thousand dollars, here! Think carefully before you refuse!" Earl's face soured, and he said to Severin again, "Besides, you should be able to understand what it means when I can offer you a hundred thousand just to switch seats with you."Earl was so upset that he had already started to threaten Severin. However, since his dream woman Yolanda was there, he decided not to call upon his men because he wanted to demonstrate his gentlemanliness to her.Yolanda glanced at Severin with astonishment, for she was quite surprised that Severin refused the money.Severin smiled faintly. "I have no idea what it is you're trying to tell me, but this is my seat, and I'm going to sit here, I don't want money from either of you, okay?""You've got balls. Just wait! I'll get back at you for this!" Earl clenched his fist, glared at Severin, then turn
