A dull thud was heard, and Rnd 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 tond your attack on him?” Humbert did not even manage to see what was going on, and


    from his angle, he could only see Rnd soaring through the air moments after going forward to attack.


    The fact that Rnd was already vomiting blood suggested that the injury was rather serious.


    Therefore, his first thought was that Rnd underestimated Severin’s strength, thus allowing Severin


    the opportunity to injure him severely..


    Rnd was already angry, and Humbert’s question irked him even more. Hembasted 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 Rnd-one of the strongest people in Brookton-to say such things.


    “Who are you, kid? Why haven’t I seen you before? Rnd nced 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 ident. Then I found out that this vile woman Shayna was the one


    who nned the entire thing and hired someone to kill Winnie. I…” He began exining everything to


    Rnd.


    Rnd listened quietly, and once he finally got the gist of what happened, he took one step forward


    and pped 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 Rnd 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 Rnd.

    The revtion came as aplete shock to Rnd, 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 Rnd’s anger was genuine, as Geoffrey was likely always duplicitous and


    probably kept many things from Rnd 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’te here.” Rnd


    gritted his teeth and said viciously, “I’ll break your limbs right now!”
