The old wacko never told Severin that whoever wore the ring would be the supreme leader, and


    he felt as if he had been given a huge headache with the responsibility of handling such a force. After


    all, the force established by the old wacko was divided into twelve smaller ones, and Severin did not


    have the faintest idea where the rest of them were.


    “Hehe, it’s hrious when you say that!” Candyughed from the side. Before long, the two of them


    reached a famous nearby restaurant, and they prepared to enter the premises as soon as the car was


    parked.


    “It’s been a while, Severin. What a coincidence!” To Severin’s surprise, a familiar voice came from


    behind before he could enter the restaurant with Candy.


    Severin frowned immediately and turned around to see Lucy, who was holding Cain’s arm.


    “I didn’t expect you and Cain to be here too!” Severin remarked while chiding them in hist heart. Lucy


    was in Cain’s embrace, and Cain had his arm around Lucy’s waist. As expected, Severin knew that


    Lucy was like a tiger who could never change its stripes. Whatever she said the other day about


    wanting to rebuild their rtionship was nothing but aplete farce. Had Severin not been rich, she


    would never havee to him and said that sort of thing. Furthermore, she got involved with Cain


    immediately after Severin rejected her, and the sight of her made Severin feel sick in his heart.


    “Hehe, it is a coincidence! You were so generousst night, old friend! You didn’t even ept. our


    money and even gave us so much red wine to drink!” Cain chuckled. He did think of Severin as a


    decent person after what thetter did the previous night, and he would not have wanted to do anything


    to Severin if Lucy did not hate him so much.


    Beside him, Lucy immediately said, “What are you talking about? Can’t you see that he looks down on


    you? You said you wanted to treat everyone, but he ended up forking out the money. Don’t you think


    that’s a massive show of disrespect to you? Hepletely stole your limelight!”

    Severin was speechless. He had been kind enough not to ept their money and treat them with all


    that red wine, yet Lucy twisted his generosity and painted him as having ulterior motives because he


    wanted to steal Cain’s limelight!


    “You’re free to think that way if you want!” Severin shrugged and could not be bothered to entertain


    their stupidity. He turned to Candy and said, “Let’s go, Candy!”


    “Pfft!” Lucyughed at Severin again. “You sure know how to pretend, Severin. When I went to look for


    you yesterday and took the initiative toe to your door, you pretended like you were a man of noble


    character, and I really thought that you loved your wife so much that your wouldn’t be swayed by other


    women. Turns out, you’re dating these little girls behind your wife’s back!” Lucy took the chance to


    mock him. “People like you are hypocrites!”


    Severin’s lips twitched a few times and he said to Lucy, “She’s my friend. I won’t hesitate to shut you up


    if you keep yapping your mouth off to spout all that nonsense!” The look in his eyes was so terrifying


    that Lucy involuntarily took two steps back.


    “How dare you be so rude to her?” Cain took a step forward, stood in front of Severin, and said, “You


    snatched Lucy away when I was trying to win her heart, and now that she’s my woman, you have no


    business bullying her! Anyone who does so is courting death!”
