Meanwhile, Satchel had an ugly expression on his face. Despite initially wanting to put Severin under
public scrutiny, Severin was able to turn the situation around with eloquence and sessfully
strengthen his rtionship with Timon.
To everyone’s surprise, an old man came forth with a smile and said, “You’re both right. As the four
county. governors under Skystream Province, we must always help each other whenever we encounter
any troubles. We mustn’t emte those with questionable characters who like secretly ying tricks
behind one’s back.”
Severin could discern the presence of a deeper meaning behind his words, and he immediately nodded
at the person while asking humbly, “May I ask who you might be?”
Regan hastily exined, “This is the West County’s governor, Fonzo Shanahan.”

Severin immediately said, “Mister Fonzo! I am pleased to make your acquaintance today!” Severin then
nced at Fonzo’s legs and could not help but frown. “What happened to your leg?”
Fonzo had to walk with the help of a cane, so it was quite clear that there are some problems with his
leg. He was very self-conscious about it because he had to walk with a limp most of the time.
When Severin brought up his leg issue in front of so many people, the smile on his face disappeared
instantly and his expression sank right away.
“Hehe, did you have to open that can of worms? Are you trying to make Mister Fonzo look bad on
purpose?” When the opportunity to stir trouble arose, Draven immediately seized the opportunity and
used Severin.
Fonzo’s mouth twitched a few times, but for the sake of his dignity, he forced a smile and said, “Hehe,
don’t worry about it. This limp has been there for donkey years, and everyone knows about it. There’s
no need to get worked out about it.”
Severin smiled and said respectfully, “I have no ulterior motives for asking you that, Mister Fonzo. I
simply want to know how this came to be. I’ve dabbled in medicine, so perhaps I might be able to help
you cure it.

A gleam of light shed in Fonzo’s eyes when he heard that, but that gleam soon disappeared.
He smiled awkwardly. “Thank you for your kindness, Mister Severin, but this limp has been with me for
ages. I’ve sought the treatment of countless doctors in the past, and my daughter brought me to far
lands just to seek treatment too. Nothing worked, unfortunately, and I’ve epted that I will have to live
with it for the rest of my life.”
His charming, middle-aged daughter Mae-Lynne-who had been standing beside him-smiled wryly and
said to Severin, “We appreciate your kindness, Mister Severin, but this limp is incredibly difficult to
treat. He ventured into a dangerous ce to hunt for treasure when he was young and ended up
getting poisoned. The poison destroyed the nerves in his right knee, and because it’s been so long,
even the bone. tissue there is now a little necrotic. Many who im to be miracle doctors could only
shake their heads when they saw his situation.”
After Severin finished listening to the exnation, he smiled and said, “I see. I believe I can try using
some silver needles to stimte the nerve endings. I also know of a low-grade alchemical pill that will
be very effective in helping you regenerate damaged bone tissue. If we use both approaches, you’ll
have aplete recovery in about five days.”
“Five days? Aplete recovery!” Mae-Lynne and Fonzo exchanged nces at each other, wondering
