"Hehe, I'm sure your gifts will be much better compared to some mayors or upper-class families. Just look at how generous the North County's governor is!" Draven chuckled as he came to the Severin and remarked with a grin.Severin smiled and said, "The nature of the gift is not important, and I don't like comparing myself with other people. It's to each their own when it comes to gifts.""Hehe, that's a very good mindset to have!" Draven chuckled and followed Satchel to the entrance."The Jolls have presented ten second-grade medium-rank spiritual herbs, three hundred million dollars, and one second-grade low-rank pill!" The person in charge announced.Many people started discussing it among themselves when they heard that. It was a very generous gesture to be giving away second-grade low-rank pills, and the Jolls were probably the only family who was willing to do so.Draven turned around, glanced at Severin behind him, and had a sarcastic smile. His insinuation was very obvious:
"Hehe, I think I understand why you were able to refine those elite-quality six-lined pills from earlier. It's because you refine them often and have mastered the means of making them. As amazing as they are, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to gift pills that are used to cure diseases instead of improving one's attainment," Draven mocked with a chuckle.Calum came forth at that moment and responded coldly, "Have you seen the mills, Miser Draven? Are you sure that the pills Mister Severin will be giving to the province governor are used to cure diseases? Aren't you worried that these wild accusations might backfire, especially since he hasn't even taken out the pills?"Draven's mouth twitched a few times, and he pulled a long face after being chastised by a war god in front of all those people. He felt humiliated, like he had just received a slap in the face. Since Calum was a high-ranking war god, Draven could only smile wryly and say, "You're right, I shouldn't be making these wil
After all, no one would be willing to hand over such valuable pills unless they could produce them!"Impossible, are all ten of them elite pills?" A first-grade high-rank alchemist immediately expressed his disbelief.Even a single pill can allow a level four or five warrior king to achieve a breakthrough by about two levels, and Severin gave the province governor ten such pills.Louie smiled wryly and found it bothersome to offer too much of an explanation. He simply waved his hand and levitated the ten pills out from the small porcelain bottle."How is this even possible? Two of them have one line, seven have two lines, and one has three lines. This is simply too amazing." The first-grade high-rank alchemist from earlier stepped forward to look carefully at those pills. His voice trembled with excitement, and for such pills to be refined into ten elite pills was a testament to Severin's alchemical skills.Riken's complexion soured even more, and he never dreamed that the alchemi
Severin's lips twitched a few times. Those alchemists' talents were nothing to shout about, and he was so pressed for time that it was impossible to take in any more apprentices.He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, but I'm not planning to take any more apprentices now. I already have one, and he's all I'm capable of mentoring right now.""Sigh, looks like we were a step too late!" All those alchemists knew there was nothing more they could do. They had no choice but to stand back up as they lamented not being able to meet Severin earlier.On the far end, Benjamin was secretly delighted that he had such a great master. After all, Severin became the focus of everyone wherever he went, and he was still as charismatic as ever even with Skystream Province's upper-class individuals."How could you have such a high success rate with elite-quality pills?" Riken's complexion turned even more distorted, as such a thing was virtually unheard of. As he began to think more caref
After saying that, Seymour whispered to Zeke, "You should make arrangements for him to sit at the same table with us later.""Of course, of course! It won't be a problem!" Zeke hurriedly smiled and agreed.After saying that, he took advantage of everyone's mindlessness and surreptitiously turned around to instruct a young man behind him, "Head in there right now and change Mister Severin's seating position to our table."Zeke did not initially have a good impression of Severin because he was not too happy that Calum appointed Severin instead of Regan as the South County governor. His initial plan was to make Severin look bad by seating him with the mayors instead of the governors.To his marked surprise, Severin turned out to be an extremely capable person, and he finally understood why Calum had been so insistent on appointing Severin as the South County governor. There was no doubt at all that Severin's ability was miles ahead of Regan's.Louie the butler returned the ten elite-
Diane smiled when she saw Megan's excited look and said, "Calm down. We need to stay calm and keep our composure in front of everyone, not act as if we just came out of a cave."Megan immediately put on a serious expression and said, "You're right! I need to stay calm!""Let's go over to that table. It's specifically for family members of VIPs. The other VIPs will all be sitting in the front row," Megan said to Diane."Let's go then!" Diane smiled and immediately went there with Megan and the others.Severin walked over, sat at a table with Calum, Timon, Seymour, Faye, and the other important people.Everyone had a good time enjoying the food, and Satchel—who was sitting in front of Severin—was just as happy despite being humiliated in front of everyone earlier. After all, he firmly believed that Severin would be having his last meal that day.He believed that a level nine warrior king like Severin would never be able to hold his own against the two warrior emperor powerhouses fr
Severin knew that it would not be ideal to refuse Zeke's request, so he followed the old man out of the gate."We're going back too!" Kroan, Walbert, Satchel, and their men were about to leave when they happened to spot Severin leaving too.Draven and Walbert walked slightly further behind, and they exchanged wicked smiles as they glanced at each other."Are your seniors already outside?" Walbert whispered to Draven while they were walking.Draven nodded. "Don't worry, Walbert. The show will begin very soon. I just sent them a message saying that Severin will be heading out any time now."Walbert nodded in satisfaction. "You'll be an internal disciple of the Stormy Moon Sect in the future, I can't help but feel jealous of you."Draven grinned and said, "Haha, I just happen to be lucky. Besides, if our family didn't offer so many attainment resources to the Stormy Moon Sect over the years, I don't think I'd have the chance to enjoy such benefits."Walbert then said in admiration,
"Hehe, some people become successful at a young age but get too proud of themselves. These people get in over their heads the easiest."Draven chuckled and sighed. "There are times when these people ought to keep a low profile rather than stand out too much, or else they might one day encounter people that they can't afford to provoke. Just take Severin and the Stormy Moon Sect as an example. He's digging his own grave by killing four of the sect's disciples!"Walbert sneered inwardly. Draven was the son of Skystream City's mayor, and he had been just as arrogant in the past whenever he was outside. He had never seen Draven keep a low profile, so it was downright ridiculous for Draven to be preaching about keeping a low profile!However, he knew that he would have to curry favor with Draven if he wanted to achieve his goals in the future, so he nodded quickly, "You're right. We shouldn't be too proud as human beings, otherwise, we might get ourselves in trouble sooner or later."As
