Chapter 561
A dull thud was heard, and Roland was sent flying backward. He knocked Geoffrey, who was standing behind him, onto the ground, and the two of them vomited blood at once.
“This can’t be happening! How can an elder be no match for that Severin guy?” Shayna’s face turned pale with fright when she saw what happened. ‘Who the hell is this guy? He’s terrifying!”
“What did that kid to do you, sir? Were you careless because you underestimated him? Why weren’t your able to land your attack on him?” Humbert did not even manage to see what was going on, and from his angle, he could only see Roland soaring through the air moments after going forward to attack. The fact that Roland was already vomiting blood suggested that the injury was rather serious.
Therefore, his first thought was that Roland underestimated Severin’s strength, thus allowing Severin the opportunity to injure him severely..
Roland was already angry, and Humbert’s question irked him even more. He lambasted viciously, “Didn’t Geoffrey already mention that he’s at least a level four profound master? Do you think I’d hold back in that situation? He’s simply too fast, and I wasn’t a match for him!”
Humbert’s jaw dropped, and so did Geoffrey’s. They both wondered if they misheard things because it was rare for Roland-one of the strongest people in Brookton-to say such things.
“Who are you, kid? Why haven’t I seen you before? Roland glanced at Severin one more time and asked with an extremely solemn expression. “What did our people do to offend you that you felt the need to go against us?”
Severin smiled faintly and said, “My name is Severin, and I was just passing by when I ran into an attempted murder disguised as an accident. Then I found out that this vile woman Shayna was the one
who planned the entire thing and hired someone to kill Winnie. I…” He began explaining everything to Roland.
Roland listened quietly, and once he finally got the gist of what happened, he took one step forward and slapped Humbert. “I never would’ve thought that you would offend Mister Severin for the sake of some woman. You’re a disgrace to Equus Hall. I’m disappointed to know that you did something like that!”
Humbert knelt immediately and begged Roland for mercy. “I know my mistake now, sir. I won’t be seduced by women again, and I promise not to do such things just because a woman asked me to.”
“Sir, if I may. Humbert and Geoffrey are not good people. They were the ones who murdered the twins at the city entrance some time ago. Someone saw them raping the twins before killing them, but the witness didn’t say anything out of fear!” After some thought, Wesley decided to muster up the courage and step forward to tell Roland.
The revelation came as a complete shock to Roland, who could only look at Geoffrey in disbelief. “Is he telling the truth? What else are you two hiding from me?”
Severin could tell that Roland’s anger was genuine, as Geoffrey was likely always duplicitous and probably kept many things from Roland while always maintaining a facade.
“I…I didn’t! They’re lying!” Geoffrey still wanted to argue.
“Nonsense, you say? I probably won’t know about any of your misdeeds if I hadn’t come here.” Roland gritted his teeth and said viciously, “I’ll break your limbs right now!”novelbin
