Just then, Severin looked at Deacon and asked, "Mister Deacon, I think you have remained in level five warrior emperor for quite some time. Am I right?"
Deacon smiled bitterly. "Yes. I have been at this level for two years. During these two years, I have been searching for spiritual herbs or foods to help with my progress but I have had no luck."
He felt pity and continued, "I did try to make a breakthrough last year but the spiritual herb was not strong enough to help me. I had to change to another spiritual herb halfway through the process and eventually, I failed because I lost control. That had gotten me injured too. I had to rest for a few months until I was fully recovered."
Meena added, "That's why my dad is a little afraid to make the breakthrough now."
Severin smiled. Then he flipped his hand to take out a third-graded medium-rank alchemical pill for Deacon. "If that's the case, then please accept this alchemical pill. I hope it can help you have the breakthrough you wish for."
"Is that really a third-grade medium-rank alchemical pill!"
The elders saw it and their eyes popped out of their heads.
Whereas, Deacon kept on rubbing his eyes and wondered if he saw it wrongly. He gulped and said, "Mister Severin, this is too much. I can't accept it. I don't even have any precious to thank you for saving Meena and now you're giving me such a precious item. I…I really can't accept it."
Diane tried to persuade. "Mister Deacon, faith has brought us together. Just take it. We know how much this alchemical pill means to you."
The next day, Ruben brought over twenty men with him to a roof not too far from the Carneys' residence. They took turns to monitor the situation.
"Mister Ruben, I hope you won't disappoint me this time," Maximus said with a smile while enjoying his tea. This was not the first time Ruben had invited him on a ride like this. However, there were two times the girls they targeted were average only, and that made him unhappy and unsatisfied. Despite his old age, he had a high standard of requirements. Not every girl could please him.
Haider laughed. "Mister Maximus, don't worry. Have you seen Miss Meena before? Do you think she's beautiful?"
Maximus thought before answering. "Yes, she is. At least there is hardly anyone prettier than her in Littleton."
