    ude Emeraldo was relieved when Severin epted his gift. However, he also knew Severin was


    just being humble when he extended his friendship. After all, Severin didn’t need his help. Knowing that


    Severin was trying to hide his identity, he decided to y along. “Haha, of course! We must help each


    other in times of need!”


    Stanley and George, who were watching nearby, exchanged nces. Their lips twitched as they


    shared the same thought.


    “Severin and ude have rarely dealt with each other. Since when are they on good terms?”

    “Mister Emeraldo, please have a seat. I’ll get the servants to prepare lunch for you. We’re honored to


    have you as our guest, so let’s have a couple of drinks!” George said.


    “Haha, I’m thinking of the same thing too! We should have a drink or two!” udeughed as he


    followed George inside the house.


    Severin packed up the box and turned to his wife.


    “Honey, I guess we’ll have to postpone our trip home. I’m afraid I can’t turn down his offer to drink with


    him.”


    Dianeughed. “I never knew you had such a good rtionship with Mister Emeraldo. Better still, I


    didn’t know you’re such a social butterfly! That’s a good thing, though. Your connections are helping our


    family business to grow!”


    “Really? Social butterfly? Now you’re being mean, honey.” Severin protested.


    In the meantime, on the balcony of the teahouse opposite the Shanahan’s estate, someone was


    watching the couple from afar. The elderly gentleman took a good look at Severin. Then, he checked


    the photograph in his hand and sneered.


    “I’ve finally found you, brat! I’ll kill you and finish this mission!”


    The man was none other than the Six-Stars Assassin.


    On the other hand, in the Bard estate, She was excited about the War Chief’s visit.


    “Father, is the War Chief arriving by ne tomorrow?”


    Zachariah was sipping tea in a good mood. However, as he had cooped himself inside his. home, he


    didn’t know that the news of the War Chief’s visit had spread like wildfire. Everyone in Brookbourn was


    looking forward to meeting the legendary Great War Hero.


    When Zachariah heard his daughter’s question, he frowned and put his teacup down. “How did you


    know?”


    “Why wouldn’t I? Everyone’s talking about it on the streets! I also heard the merchants and the high-tier


    families will give him a reception! They are going to invite him to their homes!”


    She giggled as she continued. “Dad, I want to go too! Please take me with you tomorrow! I want to


    meet the War Chief and take photos with him! It’s a chance of a lifetime to meet him!”


    Zachariah’s lips trembled. “T-they knew?! I thought our family was the only one who knew about his


    visit! What should we do? We might lose our chance to invite him to our ce!”


    “That’s unlikely! Our family is the most powerful in this city, and it’ll be disrespectful of him if he doesn’t


    ept our invitation!”


    “It doesn’t work that way, She. The great War Chief doesn’t need to pay his respects to us.”


    Zachariah shook his head.


    “By the way, aren’t you supposed to go y with Severin?”
