Those who were not selected could only sigh and lament their lack of luck. After all, securing a quick breakthrough to level one warrior king was the greatest opportunity they could hope to receive.
“Let’s go then! Our first order of business is to check up on Maddie’s brother and find out what’s wrong with him!” Severin decided. He then ushered Maddie to lead the way and left the plaza along with Diane. and the rest of the newly-hired bodyguards.
Maddie looked at the people there and could not help but frown. “Sir, didn’t you say that you were only looking to hire thirty bodyguards? There are already thirty of them here. Wouldn’t my brother become the bodyguard number thirty-one if you cure him and decide to hire him?”.
Severin smiled. “It won’t be a problem. An additional bodyguard is no big deal when I can afford to support even a hundred more if I wanted to. I just don’t think it’s necessary to have that many. I value quality over quantity, and their attainment level must be high enough. Many families have dozens of bodyguards, but most of them are nothing more than profound warriors.”
“Yes, yes! You’re handsome, and your reasonings make perfect sense too! If we all became warrior kings, then our overall combat strength will be much stronger than hundreds of profound masters!” a smooth- talking guy flattered Severin.
Severin merely glanced at him before saying, “I’ll get my wife, Diane, to arrange some uniforms for everyone. And also, my name is Severin, but you can just call me sir or Mister Severin so I can keep a lower profile. Don’t call me Mister Governor or Governor when I’m appointed to South County Mansion in a couple of days. I’m not used to hearing myself being called that!”
“What?” The bodyguards all gasped in unison when they heard his remark, and everyone thought the same thing. ‘He’s kidding, right? He’ll become the governor?”
“Sir, are you being serious? Are you the one who will head South County Mansion?” Maddie gulped and felt like she was dreaming. novelbin
Severin smiled slightly. “Haha! It’s as true as true can be!”
“Whoa, Mister Severin! That’s awesome! I never would have dreamed that you were the one who will be appointed as governor of the south county! We can carry ourselves with pride in public now!” A man said with a smile.
A sudden thought then occurred to Severin and he reminded everyone sternly, “Whether you’re working for South County Mansion or other people, you must never use your high status or your strong attainment to bully anyone. Have I made myself clear on this? I will not spare you if I ever find out that you used your position of power to oppress others!”
“Don’t worry, Mister Governor! We will never do such a thing!” The smooth talker said with a smile.
Severin glanced at the guy. “I thought I told you to just call me Mister Severin!”
The other party could not help but smile wryly. “But Mister Severin, if you do become the governor, then you probably wouldn’t be able to keep a low profile anymore no matter how hard you tried. The upper- class families, wealthy businessmen, and gangs would definitely call you ‘Governor’ or ‘Mister Governor’ when they see you!”
Severin could not help but feel a headache coming on and he finally conceded to the guy. “Fine. You can call me whatever you want! Happy now?”
“Hehe!” Maddie giggled as she led the way. “Other people would’ve wanted to publicize their appointment as the governor, but our employer here isn’t like any of them. It’s quite refreshing to see you be so low-key.
Severin smiled. “I’m the kind of guy who likes peace and quiet, especially when it comes to alchemy. My goal is to break through to second-grade alchemist as soon as possible because there are still a lot of things I have to do!”
After finishing his words, Severin could not help but look at Diane and say to her, “Which is why I might need your help to deal with certain things in the future, honey. I’m worried that there might be invitations where I can’t just outright refuse!”
Diane rolled Severin’s eyes. “I can indeed help with some things, but I’d rather not go socializing or
drinking every time. You can just tell Stanley or George to deal with that sort of stuff. They’re much better suited for a life of eating, drinking, and chatting!”
“Haha!” Severin could not help but laugh heartily after hearing that.
