Abigail also chimed in, “Yeah! Junior generals who help perpetuate evil are not worthy of being bestowed
such a title!”
“Who are you to talk? You’re just bodyguards!” Quintus shot Abigail and Lillie a vicious glare. He was still adamant on showing his superiority at the time because he believed that Severin and the others would not dare to do anything to him.
“They can say what they want! This is a land of free speech!” Severin smiled faintly.
He then turned to Zachariah and said, “Thanks for your gesture, Mister Zachariah, but these people won’t be able to do much, if at all. Your family need not concern yourselves with them. They’ll be courting death if they sent their men here!”
Zachariah was well aware that neither the Novaks nor their junior general could do anything to Severin even without the Ballards’ help. Be that as it may, the reason he did that was simply to please Severin and demonstrate his sincerity. He smiled and said, “But we can’t possibly! The Ballards owe a lot to you, and we can’t just sit by without doing anything when these people have made it clear that they want to harm you and your wife!”
Diane knew that Severin was powerful, but she did not know just how powerful he truly was. As a result, she was still somewhat afraid of offending a junior general. She smiled at Zachariah and said, “Thank you very much for your help, Mister Zachariah!”
“Yeah, don’t you think you should appreciate our kindness, Severin?” Sheila crossed her arms and said with an angry pout.
Severin smiled and said, “You misunderstand me, Sheila. That’s not what I meant. What I’m saying is, you didn’t have to go through all that trouble.”
“Well,” Zachariah remarked. “we’ve already brought them here, so we’ll leave it to you to deal with them as you see fit. Never fret, Mister Severin, we’ll be there for you if you ever need us. Our two families will help each other in the future and foster a good relationship!”
Judith and Maurice had come out as soon as they heard the initial commotion, but they stood tactfully to one side and did not have a chance to say anything. After hearing Zachariah’s statement, Judith was overjoyed because she felt that there was nothing for them to fear in Brookbourn if Severin could have a good relationship with the Ballards. She could not help but step forward and thank them with a smile,” Thank you so much, Mister Zachariah. You’re right. Both our families should keep in touch often and foster a good relationship with each other!”
“Yes, Auntie! That’s exactly right!” Sheila felt secretly happy because she knew that it would lead to more opportunities to get closer to Severin. As long as she worked hard, Severin might even fall in love with her, and she could one day become Severin’s woman.
Diane, who was standing on one side, did not get angry when she saw Sheila’s antics. Instead, she could not help but giggle to herself because Sheila’s character was growing on her.
However, Severin did not seem to like her very much, so it was not in Diane’s place to say anything either. She believed that emotional matters must be allowed to develop organically, without being forced.
Severin was getting fed with Jada and Quintus’s nonsense. “Just how much of a b*stard can you be, Quintus? Did I not teach you a proper lesson the last time around? I don’t care if you stir up trouble with me, but you even forced yourself on my wife yesterday! Didn’t you say you wanted to turn me into a cripple? All right then! I’ll give you that chance right now!”
He then said to Abigail, “Untie them!”
“Yes, sir!” Abigail walked over, took out a dagger, and cut the rope that was used to tie them up.
“A ch-chance?” Quintus was so frightened that he took a few steps back as he looked at Severin and asked, “What do you mean by that, Severin? Are you saying you want a one-on-one fight? I…I’m not that strong! My strength is just that of a normal fighter!”
