Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1357

Severin wanted to ignore Starkel at first, but he was not going to just let Starkel make such rude remarks about his character. He sneered. "What's there to be so proud of when you're just a senior director of an auction house's branch? Whether or not I'm a good person isn't for you to judge."

Elsa's expression soured immediately and she retorted unhappily at Starkel, "The fact that they're with me right now means that they're my friends. How could you talk to my friends like that?" Elsa then paused briefly before adding, "Besides, who I exchange numbers with is none of your business! I'm free to do whatever I want. Do you understand?"

Starkel was appalled that Elsa would side with someone she just met and say something like that to him. He pulled a long face and became even more frustrated. With a snicker, he said, "I'm doing this for your good, Elsa. Look at all the women around him. Do you think someone like him will have good character? Governors nowadays are surrounded by women. Are you telling me this is the life I want?"

Elsa gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Starkel. "Get out! I don't want to see you right now! This man here is my master! I'm becoming his apprentice in the future, and I'll be learning alchemy from him. Our relationship isn't as debauched as you imagine."

"Your master?" Starkel was completely dumbfounded. He never expected Elsa to acknowledge such a young man as her alchemy master. After his initial surprise, he said hesitantly, "Can he do alchemy? You don't have to choose a man as your master, right? I know a second-grade medium-rank alchemist who's a woman. It'll be more appropriate for a woman to guide you in your learning process."

He then glanced at Severin and said, "He might get some nasty ideas if he becomes your master. What if he takes the opportunity to feel with you while teaching you alchemy? What are you going to do then?"

Severin had been patient with Starkel since he came in, but he had since lost his patience and said coldly, "Didn't Elsa tell you to leave? Or are you deaf?"

"How dare you talk to me like that? Are you asking for trouble?" Starkel shot back angrily.
