Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1855

Severin looked at the bewildered Rourie and smiled. "I apologize for misleading you. We had our reasons for hiding out attainment, and I could assure you that we did not hide our attainment on purpose."

During the past month, Rourie and his family had nothing but praise for Severin and his companions. They gave Severin's group treatment that far exceeded that of ordinary honorary elders. When Rourie finally came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and waved his hand. "I was caught off guard by what happened. I didn't expect all of you to be level nine royal saints..."

With eleven esteemed level nine royal saints on their side, the Chorteaus were bound to secure at least a few places in the tournament regardless of whether or not they performed well. Rourie brimmed with excitement and hurriedly headed to the mayor's side to put their names in.

Kiyu was left speechless when he learned that the Chorteaus had submitted eleven participants. He warned Rourie solemnly. "Are you not aware that anyone participating in the tournament must at least have reached level eight royal saint? Do not make a mockery of this!"

"I can assure you that they have reached the necessary attainment level!" Rourie assured Kiyu as soon as he saw the mayor's anger.

The genuineness in Rourie's response eventually elicited a nod from Kiyu. He was nevertheless surprised by the sudden development and said, 'When did the Chorteaus amass such formidable strength?'

Kiyu might not comprehend the reasons behind their sudden rise, but he nevertheless handed eleven entry tokens to Rourie. He then sent someone to relay the news to the other families in the nearby waiting area.

Thorold was leaning on his chair and resting his eyes when he was told of the news. He opened his eyes and narrowed them as he gazed toward the Chorteaus. His jet-black pupils seemed to be glowing with a near-tangible murderous aura. The fact that the Chorteaus had fielded 11 participants made him snort. "No wonder Severin rejected the offer. It's because he has a formidable team with him! Still, having more people doesn't necessarily guarantee that they'll secure a place in the sacred lake!"
