“It is him! He’s with his wife, and the woman looks like She! Is he going shopping with two women?”
Manny’s expression turned glum when he saw the situation. “Darn him! Why must the women I like be
so into him?”
He then paused for a while before saying to his father, “Judging from the looks of it, Severin and She
might be a genuine couple, otherwise she couldn’t have gone shopping with him and his wife. It
would’ve been awkward for her in that situation. She even stayed behind at South Link City all by
herself even though her family had already returned to Brookbourn.”
The driver nodded in approval. “When you put it that way, Zachariah couldn’t have lied to us, and
there’s no need for us to test them anymore. Their rtionship has probably progressed to the point
where they will be married soon. Severin is lucky to get two beautiful wives.”
Manny clenched his fist, and said viciously, “I wish I could kill Severin right now, Dad. I feel so
frustrated right now.”
Yacob shook his head. “As much as you can’t wait to kill him, now is unfortunately not a good time.
Killing him right now means you will have to kill Diane and She too, otherwise, they’ll know that we
were the ones who killed him. What are we supposed to do if they inform one of the war gods?
Besides, our two elders aren’t prepared yet. If they are to kill him, they will have to do so under the
cover of night while wearing masks. It would be best to ensure that no one sees the two elders’ faces
so nothing will go
wrong.
Although Manny was very upset, he understood the logic in Yacob’s reasoning. In the end, he could
only grit his teeth and say, “Okay. We’ll just have to let him live for another day or two then.”
“Then again, you could go ahead with testing them to see if they’re really in a rtionship. For all we
know, Zachariah might have lied to us and immediately informed his daughter about it. She could just
be out for a stroll with Severin and his wife, and that’s not evidence of their rtionship. There’s still a
possibility that she decided to be the third wheel just to avoid our suspicion.” Yacob voices his opinion
to Manny.
Manny’s eyes lit up after hearing that. “You’re right, Dad! I’ll go over and see what’s going on!”
Manny and his bodyguards then quickened their paces and walked in Severin’s direction. He then
acted as if he ran into them by chance as he went up to Severin, Diane, and She.
“Ah, if it isn’t the governor! It’s been a while, sir!” Manny smiled politely and greeted Severin.
“Manny? Why are you here?” Severin frowned instantly. After all, Zachariah just called the day before
to inform She about the Ladds’ visit to the Bards. With Manny showing up all of a sudden, it
seemed quite certain that he came to test Severin’s rtionship with She.

Although Severin did not fear the Ladds, he did not want to have any more She-induced trouble to
deal with. After all, every single second of every day was extremely precious to him.
She confronted him and asked, “Yeah, Mister Manny, why are you here? I heard from my dad
yesterday that you went to our house to propose marriage to me. Hasn’t my dad made things quite
clear already?”
