"In that case, let's just enjoy ourselves tonight and check the city out. It's not like we can resurrect any of them anymore. We'll just avenge them." Meldrick added with a faint smile."You're right. It's already getting late, so I'll get someone to make reservations at a nice restaurant later. We can have a few drinks together and you guys can go take a walk around the city after that." Satchel nodded.Severin and the others had already returned to their hotel by then."We'll probably be meeting Skystream City Mansion's people at the province governor's birthday banquet tomorrow, right? We just offended the mayor's son today, so I'm worried that the other party might try to stir up trouble with us tomorrow." Diane could not help but ask Severin as she leaned against the head of the bed.Severin smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Skystream City Mansion is a strong force, they're still only a city mansion. They might have lots of powerful people, but they still won't be as str
In the middle of a plaza was a big stage that had been temporarily set up, and many superstars were performing on it. Those who were invited to the banquet were undoubtedly all famous people.Outside was a huge open space where guests could park their cars, and many beautifully-dressed female valets assisted the incoming guests."Welcome!" As soon as the car stopped, an extremely sexy woman in a figure-hugging dress smiled politely and walked over. She offered to open the door for Severin and the others.Severin smiled and led everyone toward the entrance."You're here, Severin." Walbert, who had arrived earlier, saw Severin walking with the four beauties and immediately walked over with a smile.His father, Kroan, knew about the previous day's incident and smiled at Severin. "Ah, so you're the infamous Severin? You're quite a bold person. I heard that you offended our family as well as Skystream City Mansion. I didn't think you'd be so brave as to attend the banquet today too! Yo
Regan continued to flatter Severin. "Of course! He became a governor at a young age and is now one of four powerful governors! He keeps a very low profile though, and this might be his first time in Skystream City, which is why you never met him before.""He is young, as you say, but I don't know if there's anything about him that can be considered 'low profile'!" When Kroan thought about the two warrior emperors who would kill Severin soon, he did not care about Severin's status as a county governor and smiled coldly at him with a hint of contempt."Hey, Dad, aren't there people who are young and capable but eventually die young? I remember that there's a phrase used to describe such a situation. I wonder what's it called again?" Walbert had an idea and asked Kroan on purpose.Kroan froze for a moment, pretended to think for a while, and finally said, "I think it's called an untimely demise. It's a shame, really. Such people are genuinely talented, and they would stand to achieve a
Regan smiled and led Severin's group toward the gate."That b*sard! I'm so pissed off right now! Is he saying that I'm going to fail?" Walbert stood rooted to the ground, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he watched Severin enter the room."Don't worry about him. He's as good as dead."Kroan snorted coldly, glanced outside, and said, "The people from the Skystream City Mansion aren't here yet. Should we wait outside and tell them about the situation later?""Sure. We would stand to benefit from establishing a good relationship with our mayor." Walbert nodded and said with a faint smile, "Besides, their backer is a sect called the Stormy Moon Sect. They're much stronger than other first-tier families, and even the province governor wouldn't dare to offend them!""Master!" Severin was just about to enter the door when a familiar voice called out to him. The person who came was none other than Benjamin, the son of South Link City Mansion's mayor who had become an apprenti
"By the way, Mister Satchel, where are the two disciples from the Stormy Moon Sect? Why aren't they with you?" Walbert looked around and asked Satchel.Satchel then explained, "They'll be here soon. It's still early anyway, and they'll probably be waiting until the banquet is over in a cafe or restaurant just opposite here.""That's great, that's great." Walbert nodded, looked at the gate again, and said, "Severin is still over at the entrance. He hasn't come in yet.""I'm aware of that. So that's a level nine warrior king, huh? He's a very talented person, but he didn't just offend us this time. Now that he's even offended a force as powerful as the Stormy Moon Sect, his death is all but certain." Satchel nodded, glanced at Severin from a distance, and said pitiably, "It's a shame, though. He has reached level nine warrior king at such a young age, and with his talent, it will probably only be a matter of time until he becomes a warrior emperor."Riken came up to them and agreed l
"By the way, since you're a county governor, you must've prepared a very unique gift for the province governor, right?" Satchel thought for a moment and smiled coldly before deliberately trying to put Severin in a hard spot.He believed that Severin did not have much money after only being appointed not too long ago, and although the county mansion had great potential for development, all of that was speculative income. Out of all the county governors he had met, he believed that Severin was the one who had taken up office the most recently.Severin knew that Satchel was trying to make him look bad on purpose, so he smiled slightly and said, "It should be decent, I suppose. This is our first time here, after all, so we can't be stingy now, can we?""Haha, how about we head on in then? We shouldn't be standing in the way of everyone at the entrance. It'd be better if we headed to the waiting lounge for now." When Regan saw the situation, he knew that there was something amiss about t
Although the people kept their voices down as they were chatting with each other, Severin could still overhear their conversation as soon as he entered the door.He could not help but smile as he led Diane and others to find a place to sit.However, he did not expect that Satchel would overhear the same conversation too. Satchel immediately made a loud announcement to introduce Severin to everyone. "May I have your attention, please? I'm sure all of you are curious about the identity of the newly-appointed head of South County Mansion, so allow me to introduce you to him!"He then looked right at Severin, grinned cheekily, and then began his introduction, "That's right, this man right here is Mister Severin, the South County's governor! As you can tell, he is a young and promising individual who is only in his twenties. He mentioned that this is his first time attending the province governor's birthday, and the gift he plans to bestow to the province governor is said to be one that
Meanwhile, Satchel had an ugly expression on his face. Despite initially wanting to put Severin under public scrutiny, Severin was able to turn the situation around with eloquence and successfully strengthen his relationship with Timon.To everyone's surprise, an old man came forth with a smile and said, "You're both right. As the four county governors under Skystream Province, we must always help each other whenever we encounter any troubles. We mustn't emulate those with questionable characters who like secretly playing tricks behind one's back."Severin could discern the presence of a deeper meaning behind his words, and he immediately nodded at the person while asking humbly, "May I ask who you might be?"Regan hastily explained, "This is the West County's governor, Fonzo Shanahan."Severin immediately said, "Mister Fonzo! I am pleased to make your acquaintance today!" Severin then glanced at Fonzo's legs and could not help but frown. "What happened to your leg?"Fonzo had to
