Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1611

Severin was a little shocked when he heard that. He retorted, "Do you genuinely think that someone who is cuckoo in the head could become a second-grade medium-rank alchemist as quickly as he did? The rate of his progress wouldn't have been possible if he were as dense as you suggested."

Elsa rolled her eyes and said, "But joining the Skyblue Sect is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This is a first-tier secluded sect we're talking about! Refusing such an offer from such a strong sect makes it seem as though he lacks the smarts."

Severin then explained, "Benjamin is engaged to Megan. They're planning on getting married soon. Besides, Megan is already pregnant with his child. He can't afford to leave at such a time."

Diane, who had not been aware of Megan's pregnancy, asked in surprise, "Megan is pregnant? Why didn't I know?"

Severin chuckled and said, "Haha, I spoke to Benjamin on the phone yesterday. When I asked him whether or not he was interested in joining us on Mount Ermonie, he said no. He plans to focus on his alchemical training and raise his children to be talented individuals. He prefers to live a more comfortable life in normal society."

Elsa responded as if she had a sudden realization. "I see. He hasn't made arrangements for the wedding yet, and he'll soon become a father too. His willingness to sacrifice his future for the sake of the people he loves makes him a very admirable individual. Other guys might make the opposite choice and choose to join us on Mount Ermonie."

Elsa no longer felt that Benjamin was an idiot. On the contrary, she had a newfound respect and admiration for him.

On the other hand, Diane contemplated everything in silence.

That evening, Severin had planned to work on his pills when Diane entered his room all of a sudden. She was dressed in a sultry suspender skirt and wore a seductive expression as she approached him.
