Chapter 1816


    Deep down, Rourie felt nothing but anger for Endric, ‘You must be in over your head, Endric! How dare


    you


    show such disrespect to a level nine royal saint?‘


    Though Severin had injured Endric and several of the family’s guards, there was at least a justifiable


    reason behind all that. Endric might be a prodigy, but he deserved it for his disrespectfulments


    toward Severin’s wives. The Chorteaus were lucky not to have been eradicated that way!


    With that in mind, Rourie swiftly picked up from where Rainier left off. His expression transitioned from


    a


    stern facade to a cheerful smile as he said to Severin, “I must apologize for my son’s failure to inform


    me


    of such a significant event beforehand. I could have greeted you personally…”


    After that initial ttery, Rourie turned his gaze to Endric. The young many unconsciously on the


    ground


    and was barely hanging on to life after being severely wounded. He looked at the Chorteaus‘ elders


    firmly,


    giving them a stern order, “We have spoiled Endric. His behavior nearly provoked a conflict between


    my


    family and our honorary elder. I will have him expelled from the Chorteaus, effective immediately.”


    The Chorteaus‘ elders nodded in solemn agreement. “Yes, sir.”


    With Endric’s punishment done and out of the way, Rourie looked at Severin’s group with a cordial


    smile.”


    This punishment is a satisfactory one for you, I hope.”


    The impartiality disyed by Rourie impressed Severin’s group. Severin nodded in approval and said,


    “It is.


    With the crisis averted, Rourie felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest. At the same time, he

    surprised to know that Severin was the honorary elder that Rainier had recruited. The Chorteaus was


    merely a second–tier family in Nontwo City, and its strongest member was a level five saint.


    Based on the city’s hierarchy of prominent families, they were considered to upy the lower rungs.


    However, the presence of a level nine royal saint in their midst was a potential game–changer that


    could


    elevate the Chorteaus‘ standing to a first–tier family! It would yield increased profit and even help them


    secure a ce in the quota to visit the sacredke!


    Rourie seized this opportunity to wee Severin and Wuhlricht with enthusiasm, saying, “Please


    come


    on in. Allow me to wee you’into our family! We shall have a good chat over a few drinks!”


    “Much obliged.” Severin nodded after seeing Rourie’s sincerity.


    They followed Rourie into the Chorteaus‘pound and received a very warm wee from the


    family.


    That evening, Rourle convened a meeting with his children in a secluded chamber. He wanted to know


    After learning of the chance meeting in the vast mountains and their rescue from the wolf, Rourie


    remained pensive for a moment and appeared to reach a decision. He exhaled deeply and remarked, “I


    am pleased to hear that. His willingness to save you suggests that he isn’t a greedy person who would


    do


    anything for treasure. Our family has struggled to secure a ce to visit the sacredke for several


    centuries now, I’m not strong enough to vie for a ce this year, so I’ll have to ce my hopes on


    Severin.


    After some more thought, Rourie continued, “As a level nine royal saint, he can at least secure a ce


    or


    two for our family in the sacredke…”
