Chapter 468
The old wacko never told Severin that whoever wore the ring would become the supreme leader, and he felt as if he had been given a huge headache with the responsibility of handling such a force. After all, the force established by the old wacko was divided into twelve smaller ones, and Severin did not have the faintest idea where the rest of them were.
“Hehe, it’s hilarious when you say that!” Candy laughed from the side. Before long, the two of them reached a famous nearby restaurant, and they prepared to enter the premises as soon as the car was parked.
“It’s been a while, Severin. What a coincidence!” To Severin’s surprise, a familiar voice came from behind before he could enter the restaurant with Candy.
Severin frowned immediately and turned around to see Lucy, who was holding Cain’s arm.
“I didn’t expect you and Cain to be here too!” Severin remarked while chiding them in hist heart. Lucy was in Cain’s embrace, and Cain had his arm around Lucy’s waist. As expected, Severin knew that Lucy was like a tiger who could never change its stripes. Whatever she said the other day about wanting to rebuild their relationship was nothing but a complete farce. Had Severin not been rich, she would never have come to him and said that sort of thing. Furthermore, she got involved with Cain immediately after Severin rejected her, and the sight of her made Severin feel sick in his heart.
“Hehe, it is a coincidence! You were so generous last night, old friend! You didn’t even accept. our money and even gave us so much red wine to drink!” Cain chuckled. He did think of Severin as a decent person after what the latter did the previous night, and he would not have wanted to do anything to Severin if Lucy did not hate him so much.
Beside him, Lucy immediately said, “What are you talking about? Can’t you see that he looks down on you? You said you wanted to treat everyone, but he ended up forking out the money. Don’t you think that’s a massive show of disrespect to you? He completely stole your limelight!”
Severin was speechless. He had been kind enough not to accept their money and treat them with all that red wine, yet Lucy twisted his generosity and painted him as having ulterior motives because he wanted to steal Cain’s limelight!
“You’re free to think that way if you want!” Severin shrugged and could not be bothered to entertain their stupidity. He turned to Candy and said, “Let’s go, Candy!”
