Chapter 350
“Take it easy, Quintus. He’s offended us before, and he’s even pissed off the son of one of Brookbourn’s second-tier families! His days are numbered from the beginning, and we even hired a very skilled assassin to end his life. There’s no point for you to get yourself worked out about someone who already has one foot in the grave!” Jada immediately persuaded Quintus. “You hired an assassin?” Quintus seemed to disagree with their decision. “Don’t you think you’re going too easy on him to kill him like that? I want to see him die by my hand for humiliating me like that!”
Victor stepped forward immediately and smiled awkwardly as he said, “I’m sorry that my bodyguards were incompetent. I never thought that he’d be no match for them even when they outnumbered him. I wonder what level grandmaster is he.”
At that moment, Quintus’s two bodyguards had already got up from the ground, but both of them were clutching their chests in pain as they got up.
One of them said, “He must be a profound master and no longer a grandmaster. He’s just too strong, and a level nine grandmaster might not even be as good as him!”
“Yes, he’s at least a level one profound master, and judging from his moves earlier, we estimate that he’s probably already a level two profound master!” the other bodyguard chimed in too.
“I see. A profound master? I guess it’s about time I bring my family’s strongest fighters over! Quintus smiled coldly and thought for a moment before saying to Jada, “Profound masters

are very powerful, and the assassin you hired might not be a match for him at all. The you spent has gone to waste, I’m afraid!”
money
“What? That….that can’t be!” Jada’s lips twitched a few times when she heard that she spent all that
money for nothing. Although she only paid a-hundred-and-fifty thousand and Edward. was the one who spent the bigger chunk of the fee, a-hundred-and-fifty dollars was no small amount for the Stones, and it was heartbreaking, to say the least.
Victor made another call to his other bodyguards and told them to bring the injured. bodyguards to the hospital. He then turned to Quintus and said, “We should head back, Quintus. I’ve already told my men to prepare a sumptuous feast for us. Severin is going to die sooner or later, so you should take a breather for now!”
“Okay. Let’s go back, then. I’ll call my family later and tell my father to send some strong men who are profound masters!” Quintus eventually nodded and relented.
Victor took a deep breath when he heard that. They are considered a third-tier family in Brookbourn and therefore did not have a single profound master at all. Hiring one was too expensive, and they were reluctant to spend money to hire such individuals as a bodyguard. Moreover, they could not be recruited that easily because of how hard it was to find them, especially since there were few such people in a small place like Brookbourn. By contrast, Novaks could send out a few such men at random, which just goes to show the sheer difference between the Stones and the Novaks.
