    “Is that so? Who is this girl anyway?” Edward did not quite believe Jada’s words, so he smiled faintly


    and looked over. As soon as he saw who was in the picture, he gasped and said, “My God! Isn’t that


    She Bard? Why is She walking with Severin?”


    The corners of Easton’s mouth twitched a few times. “He…he’s a boytoy? I didn’t think he’d actually get


    together with She!”


    Lucy saw the surprised looks of both men and could not help but wonder out loud, “Who is She? Is


    she rich? Richer than Edward?”


    Easton immediately replied, “She’s not just rich. Her family is richer than the Znkos and the


    Longhorns. She’s the only daughter of Brookbourn Mansion leader, and those who marry her would


    almost certainly shoot to the top!”


    Edward nodded too. “The biggest force in Brookbourn is Brookbourn Mansion. You might think that


    they’re sitting in their ivory tower inplete detachment from the world, but some of the upper-ss


    families are required to pay them a certain sum of money every year. Moreover, as far as Brookbourn


    Mansion is concerned, there are many strong individuals there who could be regarded as true


    sovereigns!”


    “Why would that damn Severin be taking a stroll with someone like that?” Lucy gritted her teeth angrily


    after knowing what was the situation.


    The reason she chose Easton and abandoned Severin was because she wanted to live a rich life, and


    she believed that Severin was too poor to give her that. The only way she would feel vindicated with


    her decision was if Severin was poor and had a worse life than hers. Therefore, it was only natural that


    she could not stand to see Severin enjoying a better life than her, especially when Severin was richer


    and better than Easton.


    Easton then said, “Hmph, I think it’s in his nature to live off other people. She must have gone mad to


    choose Severin when there are plenty of rich young men from upper-ss families that she could


    choose from.”


    Lucy thought about what they said but still found it all hard to believe. “Are we overthinking? Aren’t they


    just taking a walk?”


    Easton sneered and said, “Just a walk? You’re too naive. She’s known to be a very proud person,


    and many of the rich and handsome upper-ss young men were rejected by her when they asked her


    out for a meal. Why do you think such a pompous youngdy like her would go for a walk with Severin?


    It’s a sign that she has a good impression of Severin!”


    “That’s right.” Edward nodded in agreement. “She is a rather arrogant person with high standards.


    Didn’t you notice that the two of them aren’t apanied by bodyguards? They’re having a walk and


    chatting with each other. If their rtionship has already progressed that far, you can bet that She


    now regards Severin as a friend. There’s even a possibility that it would progress into a romantic


    rtionship!” As he said that, he clenched his fists and had a resentful look as he said, “Severin must


    be killed as soon as possible. If this drags on and he marries She, we won’t even get the chance to


    target him anymore, and he’ll be the one who will make our life miserable by targeting us.”


    Lucy nodded. “Okay, then let’s hire a six stars assassin. What’s the highest rank among the


    assassins?”


    “For this organization,” Edward began. “The assassins are divided into one star to nine stars. The


    strongest one is nine stars. It’s rumored the nine-stars have already surpassed the attainment level of a


    grandmaster, but it goes without saying that they cost a lot too. I think hiring a six-stars is good


    enough.”

    Easton sighed. “ck Rose, the one we hired earlier, is very strong, and she looks hot too. It should’ve


    been easy for her to seduce Severin, but in the end, her ruse was seen through and we wasted all our


    money!”
