Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1676

By noon, Severin had crafted over 200 fourth-grade low-rank pills. He finally decided that it was time to rest and stepped outside for a breather. His emotions were instantly jumbled up as he gazed up at the place where Wuhlricht and Gilda stayed.

He could not help but feel a pang of guilt. It was Gilda's first time, after all, and Severin was aware that he would be taking her innocence without her consent. Needless to say, Gilda was Wuhlricht's daughter, and Wuhlricht had been exceedingly kind to Severin. Wuhlricht went so far as to cast aside his status as the leader of a first-tier sect to beg for Severin's help. Severin felt obliged to help, especially since his actions would save a life. Severin could not bear to watch such a prodigious talent perish either.

"I'm sorry, Gilda. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me for what I'm going to do tonight," Severin mumbled to himself with a bitter smile.

As time ticked away, nightfall came, and there was a full moon. Although Severin was still a little conflicted, he waited until it was well past eleven before gritting his teeth and flying toward Wuhlricht's residence.

To his surprise, Wuhlricht was already waiting nearby when he approached his residence. Relief washed over Wuhlricht when he saw Severin, but he still felt compelled to make his concern known. "What took you so long, Severin? You had me worried sick! I was afraid you wouldn't show up. This is Gilda's last shot at survival. It needs to be done on the night of August the fifteenth. A full moon will render the effect even more potent. You will both be able to draw upon the surrounding energy even more," Wuhlricht said.

Severin smiled wryly and replied, "I came a little later because I was worried someone might spot me."
