Life After Prison

“What! Did Master Blade actually…” Many of Blade’s subordinates were dumbfounded to see that Blade had staggered back!

Blade might be famous for his skills with a blade, but even a punch from him would be difficult for any random person to block. It was therefore all the more surprising that Severin actually took the punch head on.

“Let’s attack that kid together!”

“Yeah, why don’t we all hack him to death!”

Blade’s subordinates held up their machetes and glared at Severin, and they almost certainly had their own set of combat skills. He frowned as he stared intently at the ring on Severin’s hand. The wearer of that ring was someone they ought to revere, and it never occurred to them that someone like Severin would actually be wearing it.

He smiled coldly, and said to his subordinates, “I know what I’m doing. It’s not yet time for you to make a move!”

At that moment, Blade wanted to bring his men away, because the person in front of him might just be their superior, someone even their first-in-command would have to kneel before. After all, the person wearing the Dracodeus Ring is the leader of the Dracodeus Temple, the superior whom their superior answers to!

Then again, doing so would make them seem a little timid, and they could not afford to embarrass themselves like that.

That was the first time in Blade’s life that he felt as if he was treading on thin ice! There were 12 halls in the Dracodeus Temple, and each hall was named after an animal from the oriental zodiac.

In addition to Draco Hall, there was Mus Hall, Equus Hall, and so on so forth. However, each hall was situated in different places, and they were all autonomous.

It never occurred to them that the temple head had actually came to Brookbourn…

“Blade, this…” When Trevor noticed that Blade had ceased attacking and was merely standing still, he frowned and tried to get a response from the latter.

Blade had a gloomy expression and his brows were furrowed into a frown. At that moment however, Henry came up from downstairs with his daughter Charmaine and several of the Longhorns’ bodyguards.

“I wonder what’s brewing here?” After sweeping a quick glance across the scene, Henry could not help but smile and say, “Oh my, there’s plenty of people here. There’s dear old Catherine and even the Draco Hall’s people! Is something interesting going on? I was a little rattled by the commotion when I was downstairs earlier!”

Trevor immediately flattered him with a smile. “Oh, you jest, Mister Henry. I’m sure you’ve seen moments that more chaotic. A little fight like this couldn’t possibly scare you! By the way, what brings you here to the hotel today?”

Henry smiled and said, “Me? Oh, I’m treating a friend to a meal here. You can imagine my surprise when I reached the hotel and saw that it was surrounded by all these people from Draco Hall! I only came up here out of curiosity!”

Seeing Henry’s arrival came, Denzel was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to explain what happened. After listening carefully, Henry smiled faintly and said to Blade, “Severin here is my friend. You might not have shown much courtesy to Denzel, but I’m sure you’ll indulge me a fittle, right?”

Blade had been trying to find a good excuse to make his retreat, and Henry’s request came at just the right time. Moreover, the Longhorns were a first-tier upper-class family, and even those from. Draco Hall would do well to avoid provoking them. He immediately cupped his hands in a

respectful gesture and said, “I see. Things will be much more straightforward now that we know he’s your friend.”

Once he concluded his sentence, he waved his hand and said to his men, “Let’s go. We’re leaving!” Blade then swiftly led his men away. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Mister Henry, t-t-t-this…” Trevor was at a loss and was utterly perplexed at the sudden turn of

events.

Henry smiled and said, “Is it that difficult for you to understand? Severin is my guest today!” Then, he walked away from Trevor and came up to Severin with a smile. “Are you alright, Severin?” “Right as rain! Thank you for that!” Severin answered.
