Ch. 1311..1320
Life After Prison Chapter 1311-Zeke found their antics a little amusing and laughed secretly at one corner.
Severin looked speechless. Facing a woman as unreasonable as Felicia was headache -inducing. In the end, he could only nod and give in. “Fine. You can tag along if you want. I’m just worried about your safety because you and Megan don’t have any attainment.” At that moment, Lillie stood up all of a sudden. She raised her hand and said, “Sir, why don’t you let two of us come with you? That way, you won’t have to worry about their safety anymore. We’ll be there to protect them whenever you’re not around.” Wendy stood up as well. “That’s right! I’m sure we’re strong enough to protect them.” Severin frowned and pointed out, “But the invitation only allows a maximum of five people.” “Well,” Wendy smiled. “We won’t join you at the banquet.
We’ll just protect Miss Megan and Madam Felicia when they’re not attending the banquet.” “That’s a good idea! They’ll have no problem protecting us.
because their attainment is high enough!” Megan nodded in agreement.
Severin smiled and said, “Sure. Wendy and Lillie can come along. The other four will have to stay here and protect South County Mansion.” “Yes, sir!” Lillie and Wendy exchanged gleeful glances at each other.
“Well then, Mister Zeke, it’s about time I show you where you’ll be staying. There are a couple of empty villas over there, so feel free to choose any of them,” Severin said while glancing at Zeke.
“Don’t mind if we do, then!” Zeke said with a grin.
Severin thought about it and asked Megan, “Could you please make the restaurant reservation for dinner? I’ll leave it to you to handle that if that’s okay.” “Hehe, not a problem!” Megan answered with a smile.
Once Severin brought Zeke and others to the villas, he said, These three are all empty, so take your pick. The servants will do housekeeping daily.” Zeke nodded. He then waved his palm and produced more than thirty third–grade low–rank spiritual herbs. He levitated them. in front of Severin and said, “Thank you for giving me that pill earlier. I don’t have anything to give you in return, but I do believe that you’ll be able to utilize these spiritual herbs better than anyone. I, for one, can’t refine them into pills.” Severin’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw that. He took all the spiritual herbs and said to Zeke, “This gift is incredibly precious. I feel bad to accept this many spiritual herbs all at once, but it just so happens that my supply of them is running low.” As Severin said that, a sudden thought occurred to him and he asked awkwardly, “I wonder if you have any third–grade. medium–rank herbs? I’ve been trying to refine some third- grade medium–rank medication, but these spiritual herbs are simply too difficult to find. I don’t have any right now.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1312-Severin naturally omitted the fact that he was already a third- grade medium–rank alchemist.
Zeke was completely lost for words. ‘Just how shameless can he be? I’ve already given him plenty of third–grade low–rank herbs, and he’s now asking for medium–rank ones?‘ Nevertheless, the losses that he would suffer in currying favor with such a competent alchemist would be worth the gains if Severin gave him more pills in the future. After all, the effects brought upon by one of these pills were worth the loss of several spiritual herbs. He smiled and took out seven sprigs of third–grade medium–rank herbs. “These are very difficult to find. We have some back at the Skystream Province Mansion, but most of them are kept with the fifth elder. He didn’t tag. along with us, so I can only give you these.” Severin glanced at them and took six out of the seven. “Thank you so much for these. That last one isn’t suited for alchemy, so I won’t take it.” “Haha, you’re more than welcome!” Zeke put them away and smiled heartily. “I can have someone deliver more to you if I come across any in the future. We’re friends, after all, and I’ll be happy to help you as long as it allows you to make progress in alchemy.” “1 be sure to return the favor next time!” Severin smiled. He knew that Zeke was helping him because in exchange for receiving more pills in the future.
In the evening, Severin and the others brought Zeke’s group out for dinner. Over the next two days, Severin had some free time and was thus able to refine some pills. When it was time to make their journey to Oolong City, they all left together and arrived the next morning.
“I have some villas here, so make yourself at home. There’s another two days before the birthday celebration, so have some rest before then and take the opportunity to have a stroll around the city.” Zeke led Severin and others to a villa and said.
with a smile.
Megan looked at the place and blurted out, “You’re very powerful, Mister Zeke! I didn’t think you’d have properties in Oolong City too!” Zeke smiled. “Well, the king does request an audience with us from time to time, so I decided that it would be convenient to buy a couple of villas here. You’re welcome to come and stay here instead of at a hotel whenever you’re visiting.” “Haha, don’t mind if we do then!” Megan said with a chuckle.
Nana was on top of the moon as well. She gave her father a thumbs up and said, “You’re amazing, Father! Your plan is super great! Severin won’t know what’s coming for him! He’ll probably be super happy to have received your invitation.” Logan smiled bitterly. “He’s a talented person, and he’s also a county governor. Killing him I out of the question. We can only castrate him and destroy his attainment. We wouldn’t want him to cause us any trouble in the future. After all, a person as talented as him would have a bright future ahead of him.” Nana nodded. “I’ll tell Franko then. He’ll be happy to hear that. Severin is oblivious to his impending castration! I bet he’s excited that he has the chance to meet you.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1313-Elsewhere, Franko was clenching his fists as he looked at the beautiful maids in his villa. In the past, he would usually go over and tease whoever caught his eye, sometimes even going so far as to feel them up. Alas, he no longer found any joy in doing so because of his emasculation. All he felt was pure resentment.
Leslie happened to be passing by, so he asked Franko, “Why didn’t you go out on a date with Nana today? You need to make the most of your time with her.
She’s your only chance of getting revenge.” Franko smiled confidently and said, “She promised me that she’ll persuade her father to ask for Shadraw’s help. I’m confident that she will get it done.” Leslie nodded. “Did you tell her about your physical condition?” “I did. She’s fallen in love with me, so she’s heartbroken and angry,” Franko said. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Once Shadraw avenges me, I’ll give it some time to go before comforting her slowly. I will then tell her that I’m no longer a normal man, and I’ll wish her happiness while persuading her to find someone who can give her the love that she deserves. That way, I’ll be able to get rid of her in the end.” “I see. I suppose that is your only option then. We won’t have to worry about avenging you as long as Shadraw takes action!” Leslie smiled and nodded immediately.
At that moment, Nana barged in all of a sudden and said, “I’m here, Franko!” Several of her bodyguards were trying to catch up to her, and all of them had a helpless expression.
Leslie waited until Nana came up to them before chuckling. ” Haha, speak of the devil!” Nana asked, “Were you talking about me earlier? What were you talking about?” Leslie’s first thought was to say, “I was just talking about how beautiful you’re becoming by the day!” Nana was overjoyed to hear that, and she immediately lowered her head shyly.
“Am I? You’re making me blush.” Beside her, Franko asked, “You seem to be in a very good mood today, Nana.
Were you able to settle everything?” Nana immediately laughed. “Of course! I managed to force my father into enlisting Shadraw’s help. Severin came to the banquet without knowing that he’s walking into a trap!” Franko knew exactly what she was implying. He frowned and asked, “Are you saying that he’s attending your eldest brother’s birthday banquet?” Nana smiled and nodded. “Yeah! We sent invitations to him, the nine province governors, the four war gods, and the three commanders.
He’s probably super happy that he now has the chance to meet the king. He thinks that he’s been given a special honor when he’s sending himself to his demise!” “That sounds perfect! I’ll get a chance to see him die right before my very eyes!” Franko had a look of excitement when he heard that.
Leslie, however, frowned and pointed out, “Isn’t it a little inappropriate to attack him on the day of your eldest brother’s birthday? It’ll only ruin the mood.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1314-Nana smiled and said, “That won’t happen. Once the banquet is over, my father will ask to speak with him in private. He will then be brought to Shadraw’s headquarters, where they will do the deed. It won’t affect the birthday celebrations.”
Leslie nodded with a slight smile. “That’s good to know. I’m glad my son will finally be avenged.”
“Haha, he’s probably feeling happy because he’ll meet the king! The thought of him meeting his end is making me feel so excited,” Franko fantasized and said with a chuckle.
Leslie then remarked with a smile, “There’s another two days. left before the banquet, so Severin is probably already in the city by now.”
Franko chuckled smugly. “Let him enjoy his final days.”
“Since we have nothing else to do right now, why don’t we go shopping?” Nana looked eagerly at Franko, almost as if she had forgotten about his emasculation.
Franko’s lips twitched a few times. In the end, he could only smile awkwardly and agree to her request. “Sure. I don’t have anything else to do either, so let’s go out and relax.” He then left happily with her.
“I’ve already chosen my room! Hehe! Can we go out and have a tour of the city now?” Megan asked Severin pleadingly after choosing a room in Zeke’s villa.
Felicia chimed in and said, “We don’t often get the chance to visit a place like this. I think we should make the most of our time here and visit as many places as we can!”
Severin could only nod helplessly. “I don’t have a choice now, do I? Let’s go then. Bring Wendy and Lillie too.”
“Yay! Okay, I’ll head down and tell them.” Megan ran downstairs immediately.
Naturally, Sheila and Diane tagged along too. Their group of seven people soon left the villa and went shopping.
“Hey, Severin, do you think that the other county governors will get jealous if they know that you’re the only one who got an invitation? I find it fun to imagine the expressions on their faces once they know what happened,” Megan remarked with glee while she was walking.
Lillie expressed her agreement with Megan. “Of course! It shows that the king views him on the same level as a province governor.”
On the other hand, Wendy thought for a moment and made a conjecture, “Do you think there’s a chance that someone leaked some information about Mister Severin’s alchemy level. to the king? Or maybe they told the king that Mister Severin has a super high attainment? Could that be why he’s curious about you and wants to meet you? Perhaps he thinks that you’re a genius.”
Severin seemed to have a moment of clarity when he heard that and frowned too. After a while, he nodded. “You may be right. The only people who could have brought up my name and recommended that I be invited to the banquet are either those four or Mister Zeke.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1315-Diane could not help but giggle at Severin’s remark. He was probably the only person in the world who would dare to refer to the four war gods so flippantly.
“Sir! Sir! Look at those hot chicks over there! Tsk, tsk, tsk! The number of pretty ladies in Oolong City is more than double that of our Flowind City,” remarked a bodyguard to a young man. His eyes brightened when he spotted the women in Severin’s group and he was almost salivating at their beauty.
A young man with two beautiful women on either side of him was walking just ahead of the bodyguard. he glanced over at Sheila and the others at his bodyguard’s urging and was awestruck by their beauty. At that moment, he no longer found his two female companions attractive.
“Mister Serge…” One of the women said flirtingly to Serge when she saw him gawking at the group of women. She was feeling a little jealous at that moment.
Serge looked at the women and said to them, “You two can go ahead and shop without me for now.” The two women were even more upset when they heard that. Rich young men like him were hard to come by, and they were unfortunately unable to keep him interested in her.
“Okay. Call us when you’re free, okay?” Even though they were very upset, they had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
“Do you know him? Have you seen him before? Why does he have so many beautiful women around him?” Serge grinned coldly and asked his bodyguards.
One of them answered, “I’ve never seen him before, but there is nothing for you to worry about. You are the son of the Jewelink Province’s governor, so there aren’t a lot of people. that you can’t afford to offend.” Another guy nodded in agreement after some thought. “Apart from the children of the other province governors, the only ones we can’t afford to provoke are the four war gods and the children of the three commanders. Oh, and the king’s children, of course. Other than those people, everyone else in Dracodom is fair game.” “Haha! In that case, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to take his women, right?” Serge laughed with a lustful greed in his eyes.
However, a middle–aged bodyguard felt the need to step forward and remind him, “Your father told you not to cause any trouble in Oolong City. I think we should keep a low profile here.” Serge was not pleased to hear that. His expression soured and said unhappily, “How is this causing trouble? I won’t deny that CARRER he warned me not to cause any trouble, but the context here is very different. Hitting on another man’s woman is hardly considered causing trouble, okay?” He then paused before. pointing out arrogantly, “It’s not like that guy is a war god or something! I’m well aware that there are people I shouldn’t. mess around with, and I’ve already met all of them before. Since this guy isn’t among the people I can’t provoke, there really shouldn’t be anything for me to be afraid of.” A bodyguard then came forth and sided with Serge. “Don’t you think you’re being a scaredy cat, Farik? We’re level eight. warrior kings. What’s there for us to be afraid of?” Another guy tried to curry favor with Serge and immediately said with a smile, “Yeah! Mister Serge here is the son of a province governor! He’ll have no problem getting that guy’s women. Heck, he doesn’t even need to take her away by force.
If he reveals his identity to them, the guy might happily give his women to Mister Serge.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1316-Serge laughed triumphantly when he heard that. “Haha, Murak’s right! One of the county governors even offered his wife to me in exchange for our family’s help! Hehe, you have no idea the sort of things people would do for power and benefit.” “He might even wet his pants in fear after knowing who you are. That’s when he realizes that there’s no point resisting,‘ Murak said smugly, and continued to egg Serge on. “Prove Farik wrong for not believing in you.” Serge smiled as he walked right toward Severin and the others. “Let’s go, Farik. It’s about time I show you my prowess.” Severin was busy chatting away when Serge stopped him. He noticed that ogling the girls and felt disgusted by the de was latter’s perverted expression.
“Don’t stand in the way! Move aside if you know what’s good for you!” Severin said, glaring coldly at Serge.
Serge gritted his teeth in anger and said to Severin, “You’ve got some balls talking to me like that.” Murak smiled coldly. “You’re the first person who has ever been so brave. Do you know who he is? You’ll probably regret what you just said if you do.” “Haha, you guys sure are cocky. Do you know who he is? You’re the ones who will end up regretting it.” Megan laughed and remarked in disdain. She thought very little of those people.
“Oh? Tell me then! I’m dying to know if his identity is intimidating enough.” Murak folded his arms in front of his chest and still with a playful smile on his face.
Megan then said, “He’s the South County’s governor. You should scram right about now if you know what’s good for you.
“A county governor? Ah, so he is a person of high status,” Serge smirked when he heard. “I was a little nervous before. knowing who he is, but I don’t have any reason to be scared of him anymore after being told that he’s just a county governor.” Murak then said, “Now it’s our turn to introduce ourselves. Do you know who this young man is? He’s Serge Wanbury, the only son of the Jewelink Province’s governor! He is the Wanburys‘ future heir.” “A province governor’s son!” Megan, Sheila, and the others. exchanged surprised glances at each other.
As soon as Serge saw their reaction, he thought that Severin. and the others were afraid of him. He smiled arrogantly. “Do you realize who you’re talking to now? How dare you make. such rude remarks to a governor’s son? You won’t be able to bear the consequences if my father finds out what you did.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1317-Serge was anticipating fearful looks from Severin and the others. He expected them to prostrate themselves before him with a smile and try to please him in the hopes of getting his forgiveness. Once that happened, he only needed to hint at them that he would let everything slide if he was allowed to have the company of Severin’s woman for a couple of days.
Unfortunately, he soon discovered that neither Severin nor the women had the reaction that he was expecting.
Instead, Severin smiled and said calmly, “So you’re the son of a province governor then! Your arrogance made me think that you were some big shot.”
Severin then paused for a moment before continuing, “Being a province governor’s son doesn’t mean you can just stand in other people’s way, though. Or do you want to meet with me for some reason?”
Serge’s mouth twitched a few times. His expression soured, and he clenched his fists while glaring at Severin. “You really are an ignorant fool. Don’t you know that there are consequences for offending me?”
Murak, the bodyguard, took a step forward and said, “I think we should teach him a lesson for being so ignorant. Perhaps he’ll know what he should do to calm your anger once he feels pain.”
“You think too highly of yourself.” Severin grinned. He clenched his fist and manifested spiritual energy.
“That’s because I’m strong enough!” As a level eight warrior king, Murak’s pride was at stake. Spiritual energy surged out from his body as soon as he clenched his fist. He immediately rushed forward and threw a punch at Severin.
“You asked for it!” Severin clenched his fist and struck the attack head–on.
A huge roar was heard, and the impact catapulted Murak several meters back before he fell to the ground. Murak was in utter disbelief. He stood up with difficulty and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Murak!” Serge was terrified when he saw what happened, and the other bodyguards felt the same too. After all, the confrontation demonstrated that Severin’s punch was about on par with that of a level nine warrior king.
“So, do you want your subordinates to come over and suffer more humiliation?” Severin smiled coldly at Serge.
“You…”
Serge looked angrily at Severin. He felt a wave of helplessness because he knew that none of his men were a match for Severin.
Meanwhile, Franko happened to be around the area with Nana.
As soon as he saw Severin, he clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “It’s him!”
“Him? You mean Severin?” A flash of anger appeared in Nana’s eyes as she looked in the direction that Franko was looking at.
Franko nodded. “And from the looks of it, he seems to be butting heads with Serge.”
“He seems to enjoy causing trouble,” Nana said, gritting her teeth. “He’s going to die soon anyway, so let him do whatever he wants in his last moments.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1318-Franko then said, “Yeah. He won’t be able to intimidate other people once he’s dead.”
Serge gritted his teeth when he knew that none of his men were able to take Severin on. He waved his hand and led them away dejectedly. “You win this time! Let’s go, fellas!”
Severin smiled indifferently and left with Diane and others. Come on, everyone, let’s continue to enjoy our day.”
Serge his men had walked some distance away when Murak said angrily, “Damn it! Our luck is pretty crap today. I didn’t think a county governor would have such attainment. Why haven’t any of us heard about him before? I never expected a country governor to have a level nine warrior king attainment.”
“I won’t just sit by and let him get away with humiliating me. I’ll tell my dad to send some more strong men so he’ll be dealt with properly,” Serge huffed angrily after what he had to go through.
“You give up on wanting to get revenge. You’ll only be humiliating your entire family because none of your men will be able to win against him even if your father brings your family’s elders,” warned Franko, who was approaching them with Nana and their bodyguards.
“Mister Franko! Princess Nana!” Serge immediately greeted them with respect. Franko and Nana were just the sort of people he could never dare to provoke. “It’s my honor to meet you here.”
Franko smiled and said, “We just witnessed what happened between you and Severin. I’m sorry to break it to you, but you can forget about revenge. Even your father won’t be able to hold out against that guy.”
“That can’t be possible! Is he a warrior emperor or something?
Serge gasped when he heard that.
Franko then smiled and said, “Yes. His attainment is incredibly high, and even my father is no match for him. You shouldn’t. provoke him either.”
“What?! How can your father be no match for him? Isn’t Mister Leslie a second–grade warrior emperor?” Serge and his bodyguards were shell–shocked to hear that, so much so that they initially thought they had misheard Franko’s statement.
Murak asked in disbelief, “You’re not pulling our leg, are you? How is that even possible?”
“Everything I said is the truth. You can trust me,” Franko
assured. He then said to Serge, “But you don’t need to worry that you won’t get your revenge. Severin will meet his end the day after tomorrow.”
“Isn’t that the day of the eldest prince’s thirtieth birthday? Is Severin invited to the banquet too?” Serge put two and two together and asked.
Nana sneered. “You’re the ones who are invited to the banquet. He’s walking into a trap.”
Serge knew what was going on as soon as he heard that. He smiled and said, “Ah, so you’re also planning to help get rid of this guy, Your Highness. I guess I have nothing to worry about then.”
He was happy to hear that because Severin’s death would leave those women with no one to rely on. When it came to that, he could happily toy with them as much as he wanted! He became increasingly delighted when he thought about it, and he was eager to watch the drama unfold.
Life After Prison Chapter 1319-Severin, Diane, and the others were not affected by that brief episode. They spent the day enjoying the sights at Oolong City and returned to their lodging when the sky darkened. By the time they were back, Zeke had already instructed several of his
men to prepare a feast for them.
“Haha, come right over, Severin! We’re going to have a wonderful feast tonight,” Zeke beckoned as soon as he saw Severin’s return.
“Haha, don’t mind if I do then!” Severin laughed. He then walked to the table and sat down.
“Guess we’re in for a treat then, huh?” Megan said with a smile.
“I invited one of Oolong City’s famous chefs to prepare our food. The wine that we’ll be having is produced only in Oolong City. It tastes amazing, and I drink plenty of it whenever I’m here,” Zeke said with a smile.
Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
The next day, Severin went shopping with Diane and Megan since they had another free day too. Time passed by quickly, and soon the day came for them to attend the birthday celebration at the palace. The palace grounds were surrounded by a huge wall, and the entire palace area was almost as big as a
city. It was situated right in the middle of Oolong City, and only people who were invited could enter.
“And we’re here! Though I’m afraid you don’t have enough ” Zeke spots remaining for your two bodyguards to join us,” reminded Severin when they arrived at the gates.
“I just so happen to have two empty spots remaining. Perhaps they can go in with me,” a man offered unexpectedly. Horace, one of the war gods, had arrived with two other companions.
“Mister Horace! Fancy meeting you here, haha!” Zeke said with a smile when he saw Horace.
“It’s been a while!” Severin greeted too.
“Grandpa!” Wendy said excitedly as she ran over to Horace.
“She’s your granddaughter?” Severin nearly fainted when he heard that. It was his first time finding out that Wendy was Horace’s granddaughter.
Life After Prison Chapter 1320-Severin had a rather contrived expression when he recalled Horace mentioning numerous times that he had a beautiful granddaughter whom he wished he could marry off to Severin. Severin started to wonder if Horace specifically arranged for Wendy to become her bodyguard for that reason.
Horace immediately smiled and said, “Yes! I just didn’t tell you! Haha! She has plenty to gain from being around you. She told me that she was already a level nine warrior king, and that it wouldn’t take long before she had a breakthrough to warrior emperor if she ate one of your pills! Haha!”
Lillie came over with a grin and said to Severin, “Before we set off from South Link City, Wendy told her grandpa to save two spots so we could attend the banquet too. After all, each.
invitation comes with a quota of five people.”
Severin was speechless. He could only smile wryly and say,
Guess I’m the only one kept in the dark then. You two planned this from the very beginning!”
“It’s not just you,” Sheila said blankly. “Both Diane and I had no idea about this either.”
Felicia then said embarrassedly, “Oh, Wendy… why didn’t you tell me that you were the Mister Horace’s granddaughter? You have such a noble status! I always had to rely on you to protect me, and I even requested your help to carry stuff whenever I went shopping. How could I let you do all that labor for me? I almost can’t bring myself to face you.”
Wendy said with a smile, “There’s no point in revealing this to all of you. I’m your family’s bodyguard, after all, and I volunteered for this position. My grandfather says that he’s a super powerful person, so I was curious to know what kind of person he is. Lillie and I are super close too, so I made sure she came with me.”
“Yeah,” Lillie agreed. “Our identities aren’t important. Mister Severin is very strong, and we’ve received countless benefits: from him in return for serving him. We respect him and we are happy to dedicate ourselves to him.”
“Haha, let’s take the conversation inside, shall we?” Horace laughed. He then asked Severin, “I wonder why you’re the only county governor that the king invited. I found it a little strange. when Wendy told me about it.” Horace then paused in thought before asking, “Is it possible that he specifically invited you because he knows about your strength?”
Severin’s brows furrowed even more severely when he heard. that. He could not help but ask, “I thought the king invited me because one of you four mentioned something about me to him. I guess there’s more to this than I first thought.”
Horace smiled and said, “What else is there to this? It’s just a birthday celebration. And besides, with your strength, there’s practically nothing for you to be afraid of.”
Severin nodded. “That’s true. Being strong enough allows me to fear nothing.”
They soon came to the palace entrance. Once they were inside. the palace grounds, Zeke gave a brief overview of the palace to everyone. “That mansion up ahead is the palace. These residences here are mainly for him and his women, while those over there are for his children. Even though today’s banquet is held to celebrate Prince Philip’s birthday, the venue will be in the main palace.”
Severin nodded attentively. Zeke soon led the group to the palace proper.
As soon as they arrived near the entrance, they heard the person in charge of recording the gifts announce, “Skydra Province’s governor, Mister Seymour Enderby, has arrived with his family to celebrate the eldest prince’s birthday. They have generously given thirty second–grade high–rank spiritual herbs and twenty third–grade low–rank spiritual herbs!”
The people on Seymour’s side had already arrived and presented their gifts.
Zeke’s mouth twitched when he heard the announcement. He then said with a wry smile, “That’s very generous of Seymour. Thank goodness I prepared my gift in advance. If I had given you all the third– grade low–rank spiritual herbs, I might be in.
