“Take it easy, Quintus. He’s offended us before, and he’s even pissed off the son of one of


    Brookbourn’s second-tier families! His days are numbered from the beginning, and we even hired a


    very skilled assassin to end his life. There’s no point for you to get yourself worked out about someone


    who already has one foot in the grave!” Jada immediately persuaded Quintus. “You hired an assassin?”


    Quintus seemed to disagree with their decision. “Don’t you think you’re going too easy on him to kill


    him like that? I want to see him die by my hand for humiliating me like that!”


    Victor stepped forward immediately and smiled awkwardly as he said, “I’m sorry that my bodyguards


    were ipetent. I never thought that he’d be no match for them even when they outnumbered him. I


    wonder what level grandmaster is he.”


    At that moment, Quintus’s two bodyguards had already got up from the ground, but both of them were


    clutching their chests in pain as they got up.


    One of them said, “He must be a profound master and no longer a grandmaster. He’s just too strong,


    and a level nine grandmaster might not even be as good as him!”


    “Yes, he’s at least a level one profound master, and judging from his moves earlier, we estimate that


    he’s probably already a level two profound master!” the other bodyguard chimed in too.


    “I see. A profound master? I guess it’s about time I bring my family’s strongest fighters over! Quintus


    smiled coldly and thought for a moment before saying to Jada, “Profound masters


    are very powerful, and the assassin you hired might not be a match for him at all. The you spent has


    gone to waste, I’m afraid!”


    money


    “What? That….that can’t be!” Jada’s lips twitched a few times when she heard that she spent all that


    money for nothing. Although she only paid a-hundred-and-fifty thousand and Edward. was the one who


    spent the bigger chunk of the fee, a-hundred-and-fifty dors was no small amount for the Stones, and


    it was heartbreaking, to say the least.


    Victor made another call to his other bodyguards and told them to bring the injured. bodyguards to the


    hospital. He then turned to Quintus and said, “We should head back, Quintus. I’ve already told my men


    to prepare a sumptuous feast for us. Severin is going to die sooner orter, so you should take a


    breather for now!”


    “Okay. Let’s go back, then. I’ll call my familyter and tell my father to send some strong men who are


    profound masters!” Quintus eventually nodded and relented.


    Victor took a deep breath when he heard that. They are considered a third-tier family in Brookbourn


    and therefore did not have a single profound master at all. Hiring one was too expensive, and they


    were reluctant to spend money to hire such individuals as a bodyguard. Moreover, they could not be


    recruited that easily because of how hard it was to find them, especially since there were few such


    people in a small ce like Brookbourn. By contrast, Novaks could send out a few such men at


    random, which just goes to show the sheer difference between the Stones and the Novaks.

    Severin had just returned to the vi with Maurice and Judith As soon as they returned to the


    living room, Severin had a cold expression as he said unhappily, “Why didn’t you bring the bodyguards


    with you when you went out? Do you have any idea how dangerous it was today?” Judith immediately


    exined embarrassingly, “You see, Severin…we’re used to being poor, and we’re not used to having


    bodyguards follow us around. It’s even worse for your father when he went fishing with his friends


    because he felt awkward when the bodyguards went with him. He didn’t want people to make fun of


    him.”


    “We can afford bodyguards because we have money. What is there for anyone to make fun of? You


    and Dad need to get used to it. Who knows what’d happen to the two of you if I didn’te here on


    time?”


    After ending his words, Severin produced a small bottle out of nowhere. “Here’s some ointment for you,


    Dad. Apply it on your face and the swelling will subside in no time!”


    Knowing that his son was worried for the two of them, Maurice smiled and said, “Okay. I promise to


    bring bodyguards with me the next time!”

    Severin then said firmly, “The male bodyguards I hired yesterday are not as powerful as the six female


    bodyguards, so you need to bring at least one of the girls with you. They’re very strong, you know! I


    hope you don’t feel awkward because of that.”
