Chapter 913
Arnie could not help but sigh and say, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Neither my dad nor the bodyguards are going to come here. We’ll just have to suck it up this time.”

“No way!” Moby exclaimed in disbelief. “Doesn’t your father dote on you all the time? Why would they just let it slide when you were slapped and two of your family’s warrior kings were killed?”
Arnie smiled bitterly and said, “Well, my dad said the province governor’s sixtieth birthday will be celebrated in another two days, and many powerful people will come to our city. He’s worried that we might provoke a big shot like a war chief, a province governor, or the son of those people. He told me to just tough it out, and he even held a meeting to tell all our family’s youths not to go out and cause any trouble within the coming week. We were told to keep as low a profile as we possibly could!”
Moby understood how serious the matter was and nodded immediately. “Okay then. I guess there’s nothing we can do about it then.”
“What happened? Isn’t he coming?” Dave asked immediately.
Moby then said, “Yeah, but I agree with his father’s reasoning though. We should keep a low profile during this period since there are simply too many powerful people coming into the city from elsewhere. Some of the first-tier families would probably need to be more prudent than usual too, what more the Pearsons.”
Dave thought for a while and nodded. “You’re right. A lot of people will be here for the province governor’s birthday, and the situation here will be much different compared to the usual.”
Severin and the others went out after checking in to the hotel.
“Yay, I can finally go shopping now!”
Megan did a little stretch when she walked out of the hotel and put her perfect figure on display.
“We can finally spend a bit of money here in this huge city, but we were a little unlucky to have run into those perverts when we came earlier,” Felicia said.
Severin then remarked, “Sigh, it’s not like we could do anything about it. You’re all beautiful, so you’re bound to draw attention when you’re walking on the street.”
There was a bit of joy on Felicia’s face when Severin said that, and she could not help but say proudly, You’re right. We’re all beautiful, but you’re all young, and I’m the only one who’s old.”
Severin then said to Felicia, “Don’t say that. You don’t look old at all, and honestly, you look like you’re just
in
your thirties. There’s a kind of alchemical pill that can make your skin look better and suppler after eating it. I’ll refine one for you when the time comes.”
Megan’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “I want one too, Brother-in-Law! Why didn’t you tell me that something so amazing existed?”
Severin smiled bitterly. “You’re still young, so you don’t need a pill like this. You’ll only need it if you’re forty or fifty years old.”
