Chapter 765

Sheila's mind went blank for a moment, but she soon became even more excited. Rather than refusing her outright on that occasion, he replied to her in a somewhat ambiguous sentence. 'Does that mean I have a slightly higher chance of success now?"

She looked at Diane, walked up to her, and held Diane's hand. "Diane! I didn't expect to run into you and Severin as soon as we arrived here. It has to be fate!"

"Perhaps there are some threads of fate that link you and Severin together. Otherwise, such a coincidence wouldn't have happened at all, wouldn't you agree?" Diane smiled.

Severin seemed embarrassed, and it was then that Zachariah walked over and gestured respectfully to Severin. "Thank you very much for helping us earlier, Mister Severin. We were originally planning to decide on a hotel to stay for two nights, but we didn't expect to run into a group of rascals!"

Severin then smiled. "No thanks necessary, Mister Zachariah. We're all friends, aren't we? Anyway, we bought a lot of villas, and some are still empty right now. How about you come and stay with us while you're here? You can all have a villa to yourselves."

"Sure! We might as well accept your gracious offer!" Sheila agreed with a smile before Zachariah could even say anything.

Zachariah rolled his eyes at his daughter and teased her deliberately. "I seem to recall someone saying that they wouldn't want to stay at Severin's place?"

Sheila glared at her father and retorted, "What are you talking about, Dad? When did I say I wouldn't want to go? He took the initiative to invite me, and since he saved my life earlier too, I can't possibly refuse his kind offer! It'll be far too disrespectful to him!"

“Haha!” Zachariah could not hold back his laugh. After all, the last time he saw his daughter being genuinely happy was several days ago.

"Mister Severin, these are..." The Ballards' grand-elder came forward and looked at the people who had fought under Severin's orders. He could see that they were all very powerful and that many of them had an attainment of a level eight or level nine profound master despite their young age. Anyone with such a high level of attainment would have almost nothing to fear in a place like Brookbourn, and there were nearly 30 or so such people who seemed to answer to Severin..

Severin smiled. "Oh, they're the bodyguards I just recruited. This is South Link City after all, and there are grandmasters everywhere you go, as well as a significant number of profound masters. I decided to recruit some stronger bodyguards so my parents will be safer whenever they leave the home!"

Having said that, Severin paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides, having these bodyguards around will ensure that South County Mansion has some form of presence and protection in the future!" After Zachariah heard that, he chuckled. "You've let go many of the Shanahans' bodyguards after leaving Brookbourn, and I heard that you only brought a dozen bodyguards and about eight servants along with you to South Link City. You really should recruit more bodyguards, otherwise, you won't be able to display your dominance whenever you're out in the future! If I'm honest, I do think that thirty bodyguards aren't enough."

"These will have to do for the time being. When I have some more spare time in the future, I'll head to the plaza again and try to recruit some talented young people. Thirty people aren't nearly as much as those who bring hundreds of bodyguards wherever they go, but in my opinion, quality matters more than quantity," Severin replied with a smile.

"Haha, you're right!" Zachariah laughed.

"It's getting late, so we should be heading back right about now. How about we get some dinner together later in the evening and celebrate together?" Severin asked with a smile as he led Zachariah and others back to his home.
