Chapter 8
Charmaine nodded. “Yeah, I understand, Grandpa. I just didn’t think that someone dressed like that
could actually be some sort of prodigious doctor. Logically speaking, someone like him wouldn’t be
short of money, right?”
“Hehe.” Henry chuckled. “Savants like him probably treat this as training!” Severin had piqued his
curiosity greatly.
“Training?” Charmaine’s brows furrowed and she seemed a little puzzled.
“Training the mind is a form of training too. Great recluses might choose to stay at a city and keep a
low-profile. Some savants might already be able to see through many things. Anyway, the thoughts of
such reclusive savants aren’t something that ordinary people like us are able to figure out!”
Henry chuckled, and then said poignantly, “The reason us Longhorns are where we are today is in no
small part due to a savant that helped us in the past!”
Charmaine nodded pensively after hearing that.
At that moment, Severin had already arrived outside a bank. He frowned when he looked at the
purplish-gold bank card that Old Wacko had left to him. “Old Wacko said that there’s a lot of money
inside the ount, and he doesn’t even know how much there is inside! He also told me that I had to
pay a visit to Dracodeus Isle it on the fifteenth of August for destiny or something like that. Well, there’s
still over a month to go until then!”

As Severin’s fingers caressed the Dracodeus Ring that Old Wacko had given to him, his lips curled into
a smile and he walked right into the bank.
“Security! Security! Why isn’t security during their job! How could you let someone with such raggedy
clothes in here? Is this the kind of establishment where hobos are allowed in too? Gosh, you can smell
the stench of this person’s poverty from a mile away!”
Severin had taken just a few steps in when ady wearingvish jewelry yelled at the security guard
with a look of disgust.
The security guard came over, smiled awkwardly at Severin, and said, “Sir, please leave if you have no
business here.”
Severin’s face soured. He looked at the security guard and shot back, “What nonsense are you talking
about? Why would Ie in if I don’t have any business here?”
The security guard looked at thedy and turned to Severin again. He felt as if he had been put in a
tight spot as he asked, “What sort of business do have here, then?”
Severin shed his bank card and said with a triumphant smile, “I’m here to withdraw some cash!”
“I see. There’s a self-service ATM over there…” The security guard smiled.
Severin said in some disdain, “But what if I want to withdraw a hundred thousand? Or two hundred
thousand? Will the ATM be able to handle such a huge request? I’m worried there might not be enough
money in the ATM.”
“Pfft, how ridiculous. A hundred thousand? Or two hundred thousand? I’m not sure the ount linked
to your card has that amount of money!” Thedy said sarcastically when she heard of that.
At the end of her sentence, she looked carefully at the card in Severin’s hand. “What kind of card is
that? I’ve never seen something like that before. Is it some membership card you picked up by the side
of the road? Oh, I know, you’re probably one of those from the loony bins…”
“What’s going on here?” It was then that the bank manager came over and casually asked about the
situation.
“Does your bank issue this sort of card? This kid right here is dressed in worn-out clothes, but he says
he wants to withdraw several hundred thousand. Does he even have that much money? Hey,
everyone! Look here! This fool is trying to pretend as if he’s some big shot by waving around a card he
probably picked up from the trash! Why isn’t security chasing this hobo out yet? He’s a damn eyesore!”
Thedy had two bodyguards with her, and her yells were so loud that it drew the attention of almost
everyone there.
Severin, however, was in no mood to entertain her nonsense. He stepped forward, pped the woman
on the face, and said, “My clothes might be a little ck here and there, but I’m a million times better
than someone with heart as ck as yours!”
Thedy waspletely caught by surprise, and could not believe that Severin had pped her. After
a while, her chest began heaving due to anger, and she pointed at Severin while saying, “See! That
b*stard just pped me! Damn prick. Don’t you know who I am?”
“I don’t need to know who you are to p you.” Severin grinned icily and had a contemptuous look on
his face, as if he was looking at a clown.
If supreme individuals like the Four Great War Heroes based their actions around his mood, he would
have no reason to be afraid of some rich woman from such a small city.
“Are you trying to get yourself beat up? She’s the wife of the Eastshine Group’s president, Preston
Kingsley! Where did you get the courage to p her?” The two bodyguards rushed forward
aggressively. With a tall and robust figure, they had an intimidating calmness in their eyes and seemed
really skilled at hand-to-handbat.
“The Eastshine Group?” Severin appeared shocked, but see he soon grinned and said, “Doesn’t ring a
bell!”
“You’re asking for it!” The two bodyguards looked at each other, took a step forward, and punched
Severin one after another.
However, Severin raised his foot and delivered two consecutive kicks to both the bodyguards. They
ended up copsing to the ground while clutching their chests in pain.
The richdy had been maintaining her arrogant expression all throughout, but when she saw the two
bodyguards copsing to the ground and having difficulty getting up, she was so frightened that she
squatted on the ground and screamed, “Ah, he’s…he’s assaulting us!”
“Shut your damn mouth or I’ll kick you too!” Severin lifted his leg, scaring the woman into closing her
mouth. Both her legs were trembling too.
Secondster, Severin spoke with a weird expression, “Oh, didn’t you say that you’re the wife of Mister
Preston Kingsley, the Eastshine Group’s president? How could you embarrass yourself like this? It’s so
shameful! Hey, everyone, look! She wet herself in the bank lobby. She must be one of those from the
loony bins.”
Thedy lowered her head and saw that her skirt was soaking wet. She had peed herself out of fear.
“Ah, I…”
She felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to stand up and flee the scene, but she had just only
begun to get up when Severin’s stare scared her into squatting back down again.
“Hahaha!” A number of bystandersughed after seeing the woman wet herself in fear.
The manager from earlier was startled by the sequence of events and immediately went to look for the
bank’s branch director.
After a while, a man wearing gold-rimmed eyesses walked over.
“T-t-that’s him, Sir. He’s the one causing trouble here!”
The female manager stood some distance away from Severin and pointed at him in fear.
The branch director seemed angry at first, but as soon as he saw the bank card in Severin’s hand, he
felt so frightened that he even trembled. “A V-V-V-V-Violet-Gold C-C-Card?”
Severin nced at the man. “Did you guys seriously let someone with a stutter be the president?”
The branch director tried his best to calm down and said to Severin, “H-h-hello, Sir, wee to our b-b-
bank. May I have the honor to serve you personally?”
“Sir, what’s this Violet-Gold Card you’re talking about? Why haven’t I heard of it before? I’ve only heard
of the ck Card before!” The female manager knew that there was a story behind the card after
seeing the branch director’s ingratiating demeanor.
“Of course, you haven’t. You couldn’t even if you wanted to. Less than ten of these cards have been
issued by our bank, and each one of them are in the hands of powerful people. It’s not the kind of thing
that you can own just because you’re rich. Even those who have a worth of billions don’t
necessarily have the privilege to own it,” the branch director said to the manager.
When the female manager heard this, her legs became weak and she nearly copsed on the ground.
The Violet-Gold card was the highest-level bank card issued by their headquarters, and there were only
ten such cards in existence. yet one of those cards just happened to appear in a small city like
Brookbourn.
Severin froze for a moment, then frowned again. “F*cking hell! Does it really contain that much money?
That old geezer told me that there’s ‘some’ money in the card for me to spend!”
