Chapter 1049
After Severin killed them, he picked up their spatial rings and transferred the more valuable items-such as spiritual herbs or spirit stones-into his spatial ring.
Once that was done, he went up to the still-shocked Chelsea and smiled at her. “I had to do that to find out who was behind all this. You don’t blame me for what happened, do you?”
Chelsea was at a loss for words. She eventually had a blank look as she said, “I have no issues with your plan, but the least you should do is tell me in advance! I wasn’t mentally prepared at all for what was going to happen! You have no idea how scared I was!”
Severin shrugged. “Well, what if you screwed up after I told you in advance? It’d look much more realistic if I didn’t tell you anything!”
Chelsea was speechless for a moment. Though she understood the logic behind it, she still found it a little hard to accept.
In the end, all she could do was say to Severin. “Anyway, thanks for helping out. At least we were able to locate the perpetrator. I’ll probably be safe now.”
A thought then occurred to her as she frowned and said, “Right now, I’m just a little worried that the Mount Blade Gang will bring their men over and cause us some trouble.”
Severin frowned. “They wouldn’t dare to do that after all those horrible things their second-in-command did. Besides, do you think their first-in-command would dare to take it up with me after I killed his right- hand man? He’ll probably be worried that he won’t be able to go up against me. After all, his strength is likely to be only slightly stronger than his right-hand man.”
Chelsea nodded after thinking about Severin’s words, “You’re right. Those who we were today are dead, and the rest of the gang probably wouldn’t be able to trace their deaths to my family. Besides, they probably believe that my family isn’t strong enough to kill their second-in-command.”
“God dang it! I just realized I forgot something!” Severin smacked his forehead and remarked regretfully.
Chelsea was taken aback by Severin’s sudden reaction and hurriedly asked, “What happened? You scared me there!”
“These people are part of a gang.” Severin began, “so they’re probably one of the underground forces who ought to know about some of the other factions within Wymount City. I should’ve asked them if they knew anything about Canis Hall.”
He then smiled wryly and said, “Well, it’s getting late. We should head back soon!”
After returning to the Maddocks’ villa, Severin went upstairs and slept in his room. When Chelsea went back, she went to look for her father instead of going back.
