Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1557

"Sofia! You're back!" Birk expressed his joy upon seeing Sofia's return. He stood up right away and approached her.

"Is this Severin, your boyfriend?" Birk noticed Severin's presence at once and was struck by the young man's handsomeness. Having been told about Severin's impressive talent in alchemy by Sofia, he began to understand why she was so captivated by him.

Severin smiled and addressed the Birk, saying, "I'm Severin. It is my pleasure to meet you, father-in-law."

A faint smirk appeared at the corners of Birk's mouth after Severin addressed him as 'father-in-law' with no hesitation whatsoever.

The other elders exchanged slightly bemused glances. From the looks of it, Sofia's relationship with Severin was more complex than that of a simple couple.

Sheila chimed in with a smile, "Uncle, Sofia is now Severin's third wife."

Birk laughed and said, "Oh? Sofia told me earlier that he needed to provide a betrothal gift. I'm appalled that she is already his third wife even though I haven't seen that gift yet."

Sofia was aware of her father's jovial character and rolled her eyes at him. "Relax, Dad. You won't be left empty-handed."

"I'm not hearing things, am I? A hundred? Is this young man a third-grade medium-rank alchemist?" Two of the grand elders approached him in excitement. Even the most accomplished alchemist within the sect was only a third-grade low-rank alchemist, and that individual was already very highly regarded for his impressive talent. Severin's generous gift of a hundred third-grade medium-rank pills suggested he might be a third-grade medium-rank alchemist, a talent that left them profoundly astonished.

"My goodness! These pills will be able to help level four and level five warrior emperors make easy breakthroughs. A hundred pills will be of immense benefit in the progress of our sect's elite disciples!"

"You're right! One pill per disciple will already assist them greatly." The other elders soon joined the discussion. Their amazement at Severin's generosity was evident, for his actions had taken them all by surprise.

"Does that mean the other bottle contains third-grade low-rank pills?" Birk asked tentatively.
