Chapter 493 

Felicia jumped up in fright, and hurriedly asked, “What should we do? The fact that Mister Valerian is here earlier than expected means he really holds us in high regard. He’ll surely be displeased if he finds out not all of us are here yet!” 

Catherine, however, was strangely calm. “There’s no need to panic. It’s not like Mister Valerian is very close to Severin. With such a big group like ours, it’ll take him some time to notice Severin isn’t among us. We’ll just pretend Severin is already here and go out to welcome Mister Valerian for ten seconds or so.

“Thank you, thank you. You may all rise,” said Valerian with a smile. Then he waved his hand, signaling them to do so. 

Catherine immediately sighed with relief after everyone had stood up. The Shanahans could all scatter now and by that time, no one would ever notice Severin was not there. 

“Huh? Grandmother Catherine, where’s Severin? Why don’t I see him here?” 

Catherine was totally speechless because Sheila had chosen that very moment to pipe up after failing to find Severin. 

Every face in the Shanahans darkened while both Felicia and William broke out in cold sweats. 

“Hey, she’s right. Severin isn’t here at all. Where is he exactly?” Valerian asked with a frown. After all, Severin being the master of Warren, one of the Four Great War Gods reason he was able to come here to pay a visit to the Shanahans.
