Severin’s words made the old man fume in anger. He looked at Severin and said, “That’s easy for you
to say. What if something happens to her? Can you afford to bear the consequences?”
Severin answered with a dry smile, “Firstly, she would have been dead already if they wanted to kill her.
I offered to help only when I heard her calling for help. If their intention had been to bring Miss Chelsea
away, then they would almost certainly refrain from killing her right away!”

Following a pause, Severin continued, “Secondly, if I can’t protect her, then I’m afraid no one in your
family. will be able to protect her.”
“Hehe, that’s a rather bold remark from you!” the other elder said with a chuckle. “This young man here
must be a strong individual then!”
Richard thought for a moment before smiling at Severin. “Our two elders have very high attainment. If
you can defeat one of them with ease, then I’ll entrust my daughter to your protection.”
Severin was stunned for a moment. “I’ll leave it to Miss Chelsea to decide. I’m willing to offer my help,
but there’s no point if she doesn’t appreciate it. After all, I wouldn’t want to lend my hand to someone
who doesn’t wish to be helped!”
Chelsea bit her red lips before saying atst, “I trust Severin. I’ve seen his skills at the airport, and I can
tell that he’s a genuinely strong person.”
The grand-elder remained adamant. “The people that they sent today have failed to capture you, so
you must understand that the next group of people they send over will be much stronger than the ones
today. Your safety is at stake here!”
Severin took a step forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and said to the old man, “Let’s not
talk about the what-ifs. Let’s talk with our fists. As I said, if I can’t guarantee her safety, then there’s no
point for any of you to stay by her side.”
“Fine. Show me what you’ve got then!” It was no surprise that the grand-elder doubted Severin’s
strength. because Severin looked very young. Furthermore, the grand-elder had a rather decent
attainment of a level five warrior king, so he was undoubtedly a little offended and wanted to give
Severin a taste of what he was capable of.
After the grand-elder finished speaking, he clenched his fist and rushed up to Severin in a blink of an
eye. He threw a punch at Severin without hesitation. Since Severin had been kind enough to save
Chelsea, the grand-elder decided to just test Severin’s strength. To that end, he abstained from using
his full strength. or even his spiritual energy.
Upon seeing that, Severin smiled subtly and reciprocated the grand-elder’s punch. A slightly dull thump
was heard, and the impact sent the grand-elder flying back several meters before he could finally
stabilize himself. There was a look of astonishment in his eyes. During that brief moment when his
punch came into contact with Severin’s fist, he felt as if hended his blow on an unshakeable
mountain.
After he stood firmly on the ground, he could not help but put his hand behind his back. It was already
numb, so he shook it to try and get rid of that numb feeling.
Finally, he took a step forward and said, “You are very strong. Severin, and I acknowledge your
strength. I can tell that you were holding back a little with that punch earlier, and your attainment is
probably that of a level seven warrior king.”
