The elders promptly entered the house.


    The second elder looked at Cain’s leg, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks for all your


    trouble, Cain.”


    Cain could only smile awkwardly as he replied, “It’s no trouble. I might have left the gang, but I’ll always


    be one of you. Serving the gang is a just move!” He was well aware that he could not leave Brookbourn


    because doing so would make him a deserter in the sher Gang’s eyes, and the gang would send


    people over to hunt him down and kill him. As a result, his only recourse was to hide while waiting for


    the sher Gang’s people toe and exact revenge.


    Even so, he felt that he had made the right choice because his goal was to see Severin dead after


    Severin crippled him so terribly.


    “I should be thanking you for all the trouble! Let’s rest for now. We can set the n in motion


    tomorrow,” Cain suggested after some thought.


    Lucy then immediately reminded him, “Are you going to let them stay in this sort of ce? Let’s bring


    them to our vi. We don’t need to be afraid of Severin anymore now that the elders are all here!” She


    had been thinking about moving back for quite some time already, since she was fed up with having to


    live in that temporary house.


    “You’re right! Let’s go to our vi first, and then we’ll go out to have a good meal!” Cain nodded


    immediately and brought everyone away.


    Severin was feeling a little bored, so he spent some time reading the alchemy manual alone in the


    courtyard. Although they were written in great detail, he did not dare to try it before he was fully


    proficient


    in it.


    “Brother-in-Law!” A beautiful woman then showed up out of nowhere after going in through the gate.


    When Severin saw that it was Megan, he immediately put away the book and asked, “What brings you


    here today? It’s been a long time since I entrusted you with that task. Did you manage to get it for me?”


    “Hehe!” Megan chuckled and took out the jade pendant that Severin had asked her to steal. She


    handed it to him and said, “I sneaked into my mother’s roomst night while she was taking a shower,


    and did a switcheroo!”


    “A switcheroo?” Severin looked at Megan with a frown.


    Megan smiled and said, “Yeah! Isn’t it important for us to be more careful in these situations? I found a


    jade pendant that looked the same as the Bards’ heirloom and switched them. That way, my mom


    wouldn’t suspect that it had been reced.”


    Severin’s eyes lit up after hearing that. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to be so sly! Don’t worry about the


    hundred and fifty thousand that I promised you! You’ll get it soon.” Severin said as he reached out to


    get the jade pendant from Megan’s hand.


    However, Megan took two steps back and said, “That’s not enough.”

    Severin’s face soured and he said to Megan, “I might notck money, but don’t you think it’s


    unreasonable for you to raise the price that we already agreed on?”


    Megan exined with a smile, “That’s not what I meant. We agreed that I’ll help you steal the jade


    pendant in exchange for a hundred and fifty thousand, and I never intended to ask for more money


    from


    you. But I did spend nearly two thousand to get a good quality counterfeit to switch with the original.


    You’ll reimburse me for that, won’t you?”


    “Oh, so that’s what this is about!” Severin was stunned for a moment. He then took out his cell phone,


    transferred a-hundred-and-fifty-two-thousand dors to her, and said, “I just transferred the amount


    plus some extra money to reimburse you. Promise me you won’t let Mom know about it, okay? I’m sure


    she’d be unhappy if she finds out!”


    “Thanks, Brother-in-Law!”
