Ch. 1101..1110
Life After Prison Chapter 1101-“You’re ‘pretty sure’? So you’re not a hundred percent sure, then?” Diane smiled and said, Whatever it is, there’s no denying that you shared a bed with Sheila and hugged her while she was sleeping. You will need to take responsibility for your actions because no one would want to marry her anymore if they find out what happened!” Sheila felt delighted because she never expected such a mistake to boost her chances of being with Severin.
“Okay, okay, I’ll take responsibility!” Severin glanced over at Sheila and agreed at last. He had a good impression of her since quite a while ago, and both Diane and Megan got along well with her too. The mistake had already happened, and he could not confidently say that he did not do anything intimate such as kiss her when he entered her room by mistake.
“I’ll hold you to your word and become your woman from now on!” Sheila was ecstatic and said hastily.
When he saw how happy she was, he assured her with a smile, “Don’t worry. I am a man of my word. You’ve always been a very good person, so it’s difficult for me to justify myself if I don’t take responsibility for you.” Severin left the room only after giving them his assurance. When he left, Sheila ran over excitedly to Diane and said, “Thank you, Diane!” Diane smiled and said, “Look at how happy you are, silly! I understand how you feel right now. I believe Severin likes you too, but he’s been very careful not to hurt my feelings.” Following a pause, Diane added, “I’m already more than happy to live the life that I have right now. Besides, if you take Mister Fonzo as an example, you can see that all seven of his wives get along very happily with each other. I think it’ll be fine as long as Severin treats the both of us well.” “Yeah!” Sheila nodded excitedly and said to Diane again, “If Severin wants to look for other women, I’ll go with your decision because you are his first wife.” Diane smiled. “Sure. If he meets another woman that he likes, we will not let him bring her into the household unless you and I approve of her. We don’t want any scheming women to disrupt our harmony!” “Yeah! It’d be so tiring if we have to face that all the time!” Sheila nodded repeatedly.
Diane also said, “You know what, I’m actually glad that things turned out this way. I don’t know if it’s because Severin has a high attainment, but he lasts super long in bed. Besides, if I start training in the future, I might be so busy that I won’t have time to keep him company! Having you around takes some of the burden off me, at least!” Sheila was speechless when she heard that. ‘What does Diane mean by ‘share some of the burden?’ All of a sudden, she felt a little scared despite dreaming about becoming Severin’s woman all the time. She looked at Diane, pursed her lips, and asked softly, “Is he really that good in bed? It’s my first time, and I’m a little scared because I don’t have any experience. What should I do?
Diane laughed when she heard that. “It’s not that scary! You just need to get used to it!” She then patted Sheila’s head. “Let’s wash up and change into some prettier clothes. We’re going shopping later!” Sheila nodded and said, “I’m in a good mood today, so please let me pay for everything! If there’s anything you want, let me know and I’ll buy it for you!”
Life After Prison Chapter 1102-“Haha, if you say so, then don’t mind if I do!” Diane smiled.
After Severin returned to his room, he immediately widened his mental acuity and secretly listened in to the conversation between the two women. When the conversation was over, he retracted it and muttered to himself with a smile, “Am I really that good in bed?” Not long later, Diane came back to the room and smiled at him. “Sheila is a good woman. She’s pure, and she’s not the kind to scheme around, I can tell that she loves you out of the goodness of her heart, so you must treat her fairly too!” Severin stepped forward and placed his arms around Diane. “Don’t worry, Diane. I know that you and she are like sisters, and I think she’s a very good person too. I never allowed my relationship with her to go above and beyond that of friends because I was worried about your feelings, but if you can accept her, then I’ll treat her well and take very good care of her!” “By the way, how do we use the liquid that’s supposed to change my attainment talent?” Diane remembered that and could not help but ask Severin.
“You need to put the drop of it in the bathtub and soak in the water for about an hour.” Having said that, Severin handed the bottle to Diane. “Here. Just pour it into the bathtub when you take a bath.” “It’s that easy? I’ll do it right now!” Diane had waited a long time for that moment. She had been yearning to get the talent for attainment and was very eager to take a bath.
Severin smiled and went downstairs after changing his clothes. Sheila was already waiting for him there. Her face turned slightly red again when she saw him, and her heartbeat began to quicken too. “You… you’re here!” Severin walked up to her and smiled playfully past? Why are you so shy now?” She said, “Weren’t you always very bold in the Sheila’s heart was pounding, and she lowered her head as she said, “All women get shy when it comes to this sort of stuff! I’ve never been in a relationship before, either, and I was bold. only because I wanted to chase after you! I risked everything and went all out!” He smiled, and said to Sheila, “Come on. Aren’t you going to train? Let me see your boxing technique. I’ll correct any errors in your posture!” “Okay!” Sheila was very excited. As expected, Severin’s attitude toward her had changed a lot, and he had begun to take the initiative to care about her.
She followed him and even reached out to hold Severin’s hand, Severin was taken aback for a bit, but he did not push her hand away. Instead, he held hands and walked with her to the woods not far outside the villa.
“Is that Mister Severin with Miss Sheila?” Fonzo was taking a walk nearby, and he could not help but chuckle when he saw the two of them together. “As expected, haha! He is a man, after all, and what man can resist the presence of such a beautiful woman? Haha, this is great progress!”
Life After Prison Chapter 1103-After the two of them came to the patch of forest, Sheila’s heart was pounding wildly and she made small talk with him. “Umm…. why hasn’t Diane come down yet?” Severin smiled. “She’s bathing in the spiritual liquid, and she’ll need to soak in it for about half an hour. Once she’s done, she’ll gain a talent for attainment. It’ll enable her to train much quicker, and it won’t be long before she can break through to the attainment level of a profound master.” “That sounds great! She’s always so eager to start her training.” Sheila was happy for Diane too.
“I can see that the two of you are hitting it off rather nicely!” Severin smiled, and said to Sheila, “You need to train hard too. I’ve been very busy in recent days, but I’ll decide on our wedding date once I have some time to spare.” Sheila felt that his gesture was very sweet, but she shook her head and said, “It’s fine. You don’t need to hold a wedding ceremony for me. You have too many things on your plate right now, and you still haven’t found seven other halls. Diane told me that you only have around nine months left to finish that task. Your time is precious, so you don’t have to waste it on me.
After a pause, she continued, “I’m happy enough as long as you can accept me.
I don’t care about anything else. Besides, shouldn’t those who value attainment place less importance on these formalities? Isn’t constant growth more important for attainment?” Severin was moved after hearing that. He took a step forward, placed his arms around Sheila’s waist, and pulled her into his arms. “I didn’t expect you to be so considerate, Sheila. I thought you were just a stubborn and pampered little girl, but I can see now that you’ve matured a lot!” “Really? I’m content as long as you like me!” Sheila pursed her sexy red lips and said shyly. Severin looked at the sexy woman in front of him. Her bashful appearance and faint fragrance beckoned him, and he lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
“Nggh!” Sheila let out a muffled groan, and her big beautiful eyes widened instantly as her body descended into a state of confounded passion. She did not expect that Severin would take the initiative to kiss her at such a time, much less such a passionate kiss.
At that moment, her heartbeat began to quicken too. She enjoyed the feeling immensely. Her hands unconsciously crept up to Severin’s shoulders as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Who’s there?” Severin let go of Sheila right away. He immediately narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bushes behind him where the sound had been produced.
“I didn’t expect you to be so vigilant of your surroundings, Brother-in-Law!” Megan smiled awkwardly, and then slowly stood up from there with a man.
“You’re still here, Benjamin?” Severin was a little startled when he noticed that the man. beside Megan was his apprentice, Benjamin.
However, he understood what was going on within seconds, and said to Megan, “Looks like f caught you, Megan. I didn’t think your boyfriend would be my apprentice!” Megan walked over with a smile, and then said, “Well, it doesn’t matter if you caught me.
You’ll find out sooner or later anywhere. Didn’t we catch the two of you too?” Severin became a little embarrassed, and he touched the bridge of his nose.
“Well…” Megan smiled and said, “Relax, haha! We’ve accepted Sheila a long time ago, and we all thought that you were a blockhead who’s oblivious to her feelings toward you. Guess you’re not a blockhead after all.” She took Benjamin’s hand and said, “I planned to introduce Benjamin to Mom and Diane later today, but I didn’t expect you to find out first. We’ll excuse ourselves now and let continue from where you left off!”
Life After Prison Chapter 1104-Severin then said awkwardly, “What do you mean ‘continue’? I’m going to teach Sheila some boxing techniques and appraise her training!” Megan led Benjamin away and said, “More like mouth-to-mouth techniques! I think you’re just trying to put on an act and hide your more ravenous side!
Haha!” “Ahem, let me take a look at your punches!” Severin smiled awkwardly at Sheila.
Sheila displayed her basic boxing technique for Severin to see. After Severin looked closely at it, he said to her, “Your posture is wrong, and your movements aren’t coherent enough. Will you be okay if I held your hand from behind and execute the movement so you can feel it better!” “Okay.” Sheila lowered her head and nodded. She then continued, “That was my first kiss, and I didn’t expect it to come so suddenly.” Severin then came up to her from behind and smiled fiendishly while saying, “That might not necessarily be the case. Maybe I was so drunk last night that I kissed you when we were both in bed? You probably didn’t know that you kissed me, and I might’ve forgotten about it when I woke up too.” Sheila blushed as she said, “You’re so mean! Does it count if I wasn’t aware of the kiss?” Severin then said jokingly, “Then why did you go on and on about having me take responsibility?” Sheila turned around and punched Severin’s chest lightly before saying, “Who cares. I’ll be relying on you for the rest of my life now!” “Okay, okay!” Severin hugged her again.
After a while, Severin and Sheila came out from the woods. They arrived at the gate of the villa where they were staying at, and they made their way to the living room entrance.
“What do you think, Mom? Do you accept him?” Megan had just finished introducing her boyfriend, Benjamin, to Felicia.
Felicia looked at Benjamin, then at Megan, and said, “You’ve been a stubborn girl ever since you were still young, so it’s not like you’ll listen to me if I said no.” She paused for dramatic effect and then eventually said, “All I ask is that you treat her well, Benjamin. You are also an alchemist, and you’re the scion of South Link City’s mayor too. I hereby give my approval.” “Thank you so much!” Benjamin immediately stood up excitedly and gestured respectably. “Well, I’m glad you agreed, Mom. I know Dad will be fine with him, so I’m more worried that you might say no.” Megan was also extremely excited.
“I saw it! I saw it!” Diane ran down and exclaimed excitedly.
“No way… you saw that?” Megan had a puzzled expression as she looked at Severin and Sheila who had just entered the living room. She asked confusedly, “How are you able to see what happened between them in the woods earlier?
They were so far away, and it’s impossible to even get a glimpse of them even if you stand by the window.
Life After Prison Chapter 1105-Diane did not understand what Megan was talking about and rolled her eyes before saying, What are you talking about? I’m saying that I saw the spiritual energy in my surroundings. I can see it now. It’s as clear as day to me.” “That’s great news, Diane! I’m so glad you can finally start training!” Megan was extremely excited when she heard that.
“It’s good to know that my daughter stands a chance of becoming a strong individual!” Felicia was also a little excited as she said to Severin, “If you have any pills, you must give priority to Diane before anyone else. She must always have a constant supply of pills for her training!” Severin did not know how to react to that and could only smile at her as he said, “Don’t worry. My wife will always have a steady supply of pills, but she can’t just eat them willy-nilly. Certain pills must be taken only in certain situations.” “Relax, Mom,” Megan said, “he’s an alchemist, so he’ll always have a steady supply of pills for Diane.” She then asked, “Say, isn’t it about time we go shopping?” “Sure. Let’s go!” Severin smiled. He went shopping with them in the morning and some dry needling treatment when he came back.
gave Fonzo In the evening, he eagerly took out his alchemy furnace and prepared to refine some second- grade high-rank pills. His experience in the past two days allowed the refinement process to begin much more smoothly.
Though the first two sets of pills that he refined simultaneously ended in failure, Severin still had an excited look on his face. During the second session, he discovered that he was on the brink of success, and he only needed to pay more attention the next round for him to finally became a second-grade highrank alchemist.
“Phew! Time to continue” After resting for a while, Severin took out another set of materials. and continued his refining.
Time ticked away slowly, and after more than ten minutes, Severin waved his hand and caused a pill to levitate in front of him.
“Awesome! Hahaha! I succeeded at last!” Severin was elated to see the pills in front of him, and he could not help himself from leaping for joy in a rare show of excitement. He knew all too well what would entail if he successfully refined those pills-anyone who was a warrior king could secure a rapid breakthrough and reach the attainment of level nine warrior king quicker.
He originally thought that it would take at least half a year or even longer for him to become a second-grade high-rank alchemist because he was a newbie who did not understand alchemy at all. As a result, he was incredibly surprised too when he managed to achieve it in less than three months!
“Haha, I’m a genius!” It was such an amazing feat that he could not help himself from lavishing a bit of praise on himself. Though the pill was only an inferiorquality pill, there was no doubt that he had become a second-grade high-rank alchemist. The first success was simply the beginning of many more successful attempts to come, and the next step was to find ways to increase his success rate.
“I have to strike while the iron is hot and try refining a few batches of pills tonight!” After carefully putting away the pill in his hand, Severin rested for a while and started refining again. It was not until after three in the morning that Severin put away the alchemy furnace and then went back to the room to get some sleep.
Life After Prison Chapter 1106-In the span of two days, Severin had produced several second-grade high-rank pills.
“What’s up, Master? Why’d you gather us all here?” The four war gods had arrived and they entered the room with Severin.
Calum looked at Severin with a puzzled expression. When Severin called them the previous day, he had requested them to rush over and meet him the following morning. They did as they were told, but they could not help themselves from guessing if Severin had something very important to tell them about.
Beryl looked curiously at Severin too. Severin smiled and said, “Look at how nervous all of you are. I called you all over because I have some good stuff for you!” “You nearly scared me there! I thought you called us over something serious had happened!” The four of them were relieved when Severin assured them that he called them over because he had something good in store for them.
With a wave of the hand, Severin took out a porcelain bottle. He opened it, took out four pills, and said to the four of them, “I’m giving you one pill each. You’ve been at peak-stage level nine warrior king for a while now, so this pill will help you break through to the first-rank warrior emperor without a hitch!” “Isn’t this a second-grade high-rank pill? Did you have another breakthrough in your alchemy already?” Calum felt incredibly excited when he took the pill.
He and the rest of the war gods had reached the attainment of a level nine warrior king for more than a year, and it was natural for them to want to break through to warrior emperor. Alas, it was easier said than done, because of how much strength and energy was needed to achieve it.
However, the pill that Severin gave would make it so much easier for them to break through to level one warrior emperor. “Your alchemical talent is ridiculously impressive, Master! You truly are a genius!” Warren was excited too. If the existence of such a pill was made public, then a frenzy amongst many strong individuals would almost certainly occur.
Beryl smiled. “With his talent, it’s only a matter of time until he becomes a thirdor even fourth-grade alchemist. By comparison, people like us can only look up to him in the hopes. that we could one day achieve a sliver of his greatness.” Horace then said excitedly, “I don’t know how else to thank you for your kindness. Why don’t you marry my granddaughter? She’s a very beautiful young woman.” Severin was speechless. It was not the first time that the old man suggested that to him. He smiled awkwardly. “Let’s not dwell on that. Feelings work in mysterious ways, after all.” Calum’s mind went blank for a moment and he finally said to Horace, “If our master does marry your granddaughter, doesn’t he have to call you Grandpa like your granddaughter does? You must be crazy if you think you can get him to call you Grandpa!” At the same time, Warren reacted to that and immediately said, “I agree! If Master calls you Grandpa, then what are we supposed to call you? You just want us to treat you like our senior, don’t you?” Horace felt embarrassed right away and hurriedly explained to them. “I never even thought about all that, guys. You know what, just forget it. I won’t ask him to marry her again, okay?” “Hahaha!” Severin could not help but laugh when he saw their antics. “Okay then, you can take your pill with you, train hard, and break through to level one warrior emperor as soon as you can.” “Yes, sir!” “We’ll excuse ourselves then!” The four of them left excitedly after getting the pill.
Life After Prison Chapter 1107-During that period, Skystream Province’s governor, Zeke, received an invitation from Severin to come over that morning as well.
“Why is Severin asking us to go over? I heard that he’s leaving Skystream City today, so I can’t help but wonder if it’s because he wants us to see him off. Why is he so full of himself when he’s just a county governor?” One of Zeke’s daughters could not help but pout unhappily.
Zeke chuckled and said, “Well, if someone else had asked me to go, I probably wouldn’t even entertain their request at all. But if it’s Severin, then I’d be more than delighted to meet him, even if it’s just to see him off!” “But why? He’s just a county governor. You’re the province governor, so you are one step above him!” His beautiful daughter remarked begrudgingly.
Zeke smiled again. “You still don’t understand, do you? He’s a second-grade medium-rank alchemist who can refine countless top-grade pills. This shows that he’s close to breaking through to a second-grade high-rank alchemist! But that’s not the point, though. The mere fact that he gave us plenty of pills as a gift on my birthday is a sufficient enough reason for me to see him off.” The grand-elder smiled and said, “Indeed! We must ensure that we have a good relationship with Severin. If he becomes a second-grade high-rank alchemist in the future, even forces such as the Stormy Moon Sect might wish to get him to join their ranks.” The second elder shared the same views too. “That’s right. Even a single one of his pills will allow us to add another warrior emperor powerhouse into our ranks.
The presence of such an individual in an organization gives them a significant advantage over those who lack such individuals. The combat strength and ability of a level one warrior emperor is about the same as several ninth-rank warrior kings!” “Let’s go. We ought not to make such a big deal out of it if it turns out that we were called over to see him off. Severin, as the South County’s governor, is a cut above the other three. governors. He has a bright and boundless future ahead of him!” Zeke said earnestly.
Before long, they all arrived at the villa just as the four war gods had left.
“How’s everything so far, Fonzo? I believe your leg is now completely healed?” Zeke asked Fonzo with a smile after leading about a dozen or so people into the villa.
Fonzo immediately got up and greeted him back. “Mister Zeke! What brings you here? If I knew you were coming, I would’ve gone to greet you at the door!” Zeke chuckled and said, “No need to trouble yourself. Mister Severin asked me to come here because he wanted to see me.” Fonzo frowned suddenly. “That’s strange. All four of the war gods came here earlier today, and now you’ve come here too. I can’t help but wonder what business all of you might have with Mister Severin.” “They were here? All four of them?” Zeke was a little startled when he heard that. After all, every war god had about the same status as he did, but even he was unable to make friends with all four of them at the same time. More importantly, they all rushed there as soon as Severin requested their presence.
“Mister Severin is an enigma, isn’t he? Even the Four Great War Gods rushed over simply because he told them to!” The grand-elder who came with Zeke expressed his surprise too.
At that moment, Severin came to that villa with Diane and the others.
“Haha, Mister Severin! To what do I owe the pleasure of being called over?” Zeke asked as soon as he saw Severin there.
Life After Prison Chapter 1108-Severin smiled, looked at the crowd, and said, “It’s nothing serious. We’ll be leaving Skystream City soon, so we feel that it’s necessary to give you a parting gift before we leave. After all, we both have a very good relationship with each other. I’ve also prepared a gift for Mister Fonzo too.” Fonzo laughed. “Hehe, that’s very considerate of you!” After Severin finished speaking, he took out two small porcelain bottles with the wave of his palm and they floated in the air before Zeke and Fonzo.
Zeke could not help but gasp with emotion when he saw those floating bottles.
“You truly do live up to your reputation as an amazing alchemist, Mister Severin.
Your mental abilities are very strong, and you have such excellent mental control that you can levitate the bottles. before our very eyes.” Fonzo took the bottle in front of him and asked with a smile, “I wonder what could be in this bottle. Is it another pill?” “That’s right! I made one each for the two of you,” Severin said. “Anyway, we have to get going soon, so farewell until we meet again!” Severin then led everyone to the place where he parked his car. Fonzo and Zeke put away their respective bottles, expressed their thanks, and saw Severin off at the entrance as Severin drove. off.
“What a generous man he is. I didn’t think he’d give us another pill before he left!” Zeke could not help but remark with a smile after Severin left.
“He is, indeed. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?” Fonzo offered.
“Perhaps another day when I have more time to spare. Mister Severin has left, so it’s about time we excuse ourselves too.” Zeke smiled and left with his men.
After they had walked a little further, Zeke’s daughter said, “You called him generous when he only gave you a single pill? You’re the province governor, for heaven’s sake! How could he only give you one pill after asking you to come all the way here to meet him? He should’ve at least given you two pills.” Zeke’s expression soured immediately and he chastised her unhappily. “Do you know how precious a single second-grade medium-rank pill is? It’s enough for a level four or level five warrior king to secure a breakthrough, which is why I called him generous even though he just gave me one. Besides, he’s given us plenty of pills before too!” At that moment, Zeke took out the small porcelain bottle and opened it to take a look.
As soon as he laid eyes on the pill inside, he was thoroughly petrified by what he saw. “T-t-t- this…” he stammered.
“What is it, Dad? Why do you look so surprised? It’s not like you haven’t seen a second-grade medium-rank pill before!” the young girl frowned upon her father’s reaction.
Zeke gulped. “This isn’t a second-grade medium-rank pill. It’s a second-grade high-rank pill! Hahahaha! I can break through to level one warrior emperor with this!” “A second-grade high-rank pill?” His daughter was shell-shocked when she heard that and even doubted whether or not she heard it clearly. “Didn’t he say that he was a second-grade medium-rank alchemist on your birthday? How is he suddenly a second-grade high-rank alchemist? He couldn’t have made a breakthrough within the short span of a few days, could he?”
Life After Prison Chapter 1109-Zeke nodded. “He is incredibly talented, so I do believe that he made the breakthrough in the past few days. This pill is an inferior-quality pill, which is normal for those who had a step up from the previous rank.” “His generosity knows no bounds, sir. It is such a surprise that he gave you a second-grade high-rank pill!” Even the grand-elder was a little excited as he walked behind Zeke.
Zeke smiled and said, “Well, he most certainly deserves our long-lasting friendship. We must do our best to aid him if he ever needs our help in the future.” “Of course!” The elders looked at each other and nodded.
“Oh, my word! It’s a second-grade HIGH-rank pill!” Fonzo had also opened the porcelain bottle at about the same time. When he found out that the pill inside was a second-grade high- rank pill, his mouth widened with excitement.
At that moment, Sofia and Meldrick had returned to Stormy Moon Sect.
“Why aren’t the other four with you?” asked the middle-aged man in front of them. He was none other than Sofia’s father, Birk. He was not pleased when only two out of the six people that he sent out returned, and he had a bad feeling that something ominous had happened. Meldrick immediately stepped forward and explained, “Sir, the four of them were killed.” “Killed?!” Birk was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly and exploded in a rage, “Who’s the b*stard that killed our sect’s members? They’re asking to be killed if they kill one of our people!” Birk then looked at the two of them and said, “Where are they now? Did you kill the person? Have you avenged our disciples?” Sofia then said, “We didn’t take revenge because it was our disciples that misbehaved. They tried to rob him because they knew he had pills on him, and they even wanted to take his beautiful wife away. He didn’t let them do any of that, of course, so an altercation happened. and he killed all four of them.” Then, Sofia paused for emphasis before continuing, “He’s my savior, Dad. He saved my life once before, so I can’t kill him.” After Birk knew the whole story, he said to her, “I see. Then we won’t pursue the matter any further since it was our disciples that committed the injustice against him. I have explicitly warned everyone not to pick on other people and keep a low profile as much as possible, but they did not heed my advice. I will not mince my words when I say that they deserve to be killed after messing with someone whose attainment was higher than theirs!” Birk’s statement left Meldrick with no choice but to nod and cooperate. “That’s true. They brought it upon themselves.” He then left with Sofia after handing over the offering to Birk. Sofia then brought the new recruit Draven to arrange his accommodation and receive a disciple token.
On the other hand, Meldrick left the hall from the other end and came to a courtyard. Meldrick walked into the courtyard with a smile and called out to a middle-aged man who was soaking in the sunlight. “Mister Ronnie!”
Life After Prison Chapter 1110-Ronnie, the sect’s protector, had been in a bad mood recently, and he merely glanced briefly at Meldrick before saying, “Do you have nothing better to do than to come here and bother me?” Meldrick smiled subtly, sat down in front of Ronnie, and asked, “I’m curious if you are aware of the circumstances surrounding your son’s death?” At the mention of his son, Ronnie’s face soured and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at Meldrick. “What are you trying to tell me, Meldrick? Are you saying that you’re well aware of the circumstances surrounding Brandon’s death?” Brandon’s death has been bearing down on Ronnie for quite some time because Brandon was his only son. Brandon went out to hunt for treasure with Sofia, but Sofía was the only one who made it back. According to Sofia, he had been killed by a spirit beast.
Though there was no evidence to prove that, Ronnie did not think too much about it because he believed in Sofia’s words. When Meldrick brought that up to Ronnie again, the latter finally realized that the truth was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Meldrick nodded. “Brandon wasn’t killed by a spirit beast. I only found out the truth when I went out with Sofia. She revealed it to me while we were on the road, but she insisted that I shouldn’t tell you about it.” Ronnie clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He suppressed his anger before questioning Meldrick. “Then why are you telling me that?” Ronnie was well aware that Meldrick was very a sly and scheming person.
Meldrick and Brandon had both tried to win Sofia’s heart, and their affection for her was an open secret even though they never expressed their feelings outright.
As rivals in love, they were less than cordial with each other. As a result, Ronnie was a little wary when Meldrick approached him to tell him about it.
Meldrick deliberately expressed his sadness. “I didn’t want to tell you at first, but I understand how important it is for a father to know the truth about his son’s death. I can understand the pain, especially if you don’t know the true events surrounding what happened…” Then, Meldrick stood up again as if to leave. “I’ll excuse myself then if you don’t wish to know the truth. I shouldn’t have reminded you of your pain in the first place.” Ronnie immediately panicked when he saw that Meldrick was about to leave.
He stood up and said, “Hold on. I never said I didn’t want to know the truth, did I? How did my son die? He couldn’t have been killed by Sofia, right? Her attainment was not as high as my son at the time!” Ronnie’s heart ached again. Brandon was young, and his talent was somewhat better than. many of the disciples. If he had still been alive, he would have broken through to the level one warrior emperor by then.
Meldrick sat back down and said to Ronnie, “I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone that you heard it from me. I don’t want Sofia to be unhappy!” Ronnie frowned. “Why would she be unhappy?” “Well, when Brandon and Sofia went out to search for treasure, he took her to a place where no one was around and secretly drugged her to try and force himself on her.
Just as he about was about to do the deed, a passer-by who is unaffiliated with any sect or gang killed Brandon in the name of justice.” Meldrick did not hide anything from Ronnie and revealed every detail.
Ronnie could not help but sigh when he heard that. “Why did Brandon have to be so impatient? Serves him right for committing such a heinous act!” Having said that, he clenched his fist again and said, “But that unaffiliated practitioner crossed the line. My son might be a little impulsive, but he doesn’t deserve to be killed.
