Chapter 510: Do Not Attack Her Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Watson? Watson was the one who gave you the potion?”
Lawrence swallowed his saliva.
“Watson? The strongest genius in the kingdom, Watson?” Byron followed up with an incredulous expression.
He had heard of Watson’s name. Very few people in the entire kingdom had never heard of Watson. Watson shone in the Royal Academy exhibition competition. He also battled the seven gods to protect the King, and he could resurrect the dead, just like what he did with the late Queen Avril.
That news had already spread in the royal city. However, whether Watson had actually resurrected Queen Avril remained to be seen. After all, most had not seen her yet. King Landhar III had announced that his successor was Watson. He had done that in front of all the civil and military ministers.
Watson was the next King, and even the people at the Holy See treated him with great respect. Since he had replaced the seven gods as their central faith, the royal power was at its peak.
Watson had also replaced Reid as the most famous elite in the capital, who could intimidate the other kingdoms with just his name.
The heir to the throne, Antonio and Reid’s disciple, Watson had so many titles that he was already a legend in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Byron was surprised to hear that Deena had a connection with Watson, then it turned to disbelief. Watson was someone from the higher class while Deena was a nobody; there was no way they were in contact.
“Deena, you said that Watson spent ten million gold coins on you to give you that potion. You must be joking. Why would Watson spend money on you? Did you have a special relationship with Watson?” Byron thought for a moment.
If Deena used her beauty to seduce Watson and make him fall in love with her, then it was not that he could understand. After all, Deena’s beauty was evident to everyone. He might even be attracted to her if he were not her father, let alone a teenager like Watson.
However, Watson was the strongest genius in the kingdom. Even if he liked Deena, he would not spend ten million gold coins on her. That was equivalent to the wealth of an entire family.
“I’m not joking. I came back here to explain the matter! Young Master Watson gave me a potion worth ten million gold coins, and he also gave me this bag of money. Right now, I’m one of his subordinates.”
Deena tightened her hold of the bag in her hand and puffed out her chest.
“Subordinate? You must have seduced him, so he had to give you something in return. How would you qualify to be his subordinate? However, so what if you’re his subordinate? I’ve already sold you to Lawrence, and we’ve signed a contract. The kingdom’s law protects that contract. Even Watson can’t break the law.”
Byron snorted coldly and looked at Lawrence. “Master Lawrence, Deena now has platinum-tier strength. Your guards aren’t strong enough. I’ll help you keep watch here so you can find more guards.”
Deena and her mother’s face darkened. Byron did not feel happy when he discovered that Deena was Watson’s subordinate. Instead, he helped the b*stard, Lawrence.
“Byron, I changed my mind. I won’t touch Deena again. Please return the 100,000 gold coins I gave you.”
Lawrence did not turn around and call for help. Instead, he spoke to Byron with a gloomy expression.
“Master Lawrence, what do you mean? Why do you want to take the money back? We’ve signed a contract.”
“Byron, you idiot! If you want to die, don’t bring me along.”
Lawrence gritted his teeth. “Do you know how much influence Watson has in the royal city right now? If he knew that I touched Deena, he would crush me to death, and—”
There was one thing he did not say. The underground casino he opened was managed by Veronica, one of the Severed Fingers Gang’s higher-ups. He was also a Severed Fingers Gang member, so he had the honor of meeting Watson once. At that time, Watson appeared as the Black king, leaving a deep impression in his heart.

If he had known that Deena was connected to Watson, he would have even treated her with respect. He hated Byron so much then. The beautiful Deena had become so high and mighty in his eyes.
“Byron, this is the contract. Watch carefully.” Lawrence took a contract from his pocket and tore it in front of Byron. The fragments fell to the ground like snowflakes.
The guards that Deena sent flying backward grimaced in pain. They got up and gave the box of gold coins back to Byron.
“Lawrence, you can’t do this. You promised me! You broke the contract because you heard that Deena’s connected to Watson? Are you so afraid of him? Plus, how do you know she’s telling the truth?” Byron dropped to the ground and wailed.
“I can prove it.”
Just as Lawrence was about to refute, the mansion’s door opened. A woman in a black dress and light makeup walked into the hall. A beautiful woman riding a unicorn and more than ten men in black stood behind her.
Lawrence immediately knelt on the ground and broke out in cold sweat.
“Lady Veronica, Lady Elven.”
“Miss Deena has just become Young Master Watson’s subordinate. Perhaps she doesn’t understand some aspects of her work. Initially, Elven and I are here to offer our condolences and ask what Miss Deena needs. I did not expect to see such a thing.” After Veronica walked into the house, she roughly understood what had happened after sweeping a glance around. “Lawrence, do you still remember the requirements for becoming a member of the Severed Fingers Gang? First, do no evil. What are you doing now?”
“Lady Veronica, I did not do any evil deeds. Byron was the one who wanted to give his daughter to me. For that, I even paid 100,000 gold coins for her. It’s all Byron’s fault!”
Lawrence’s voice trembled as he responded, trying to shift the blame. Veronica was not a fool; she snorted and said, “Lawrence, from now on, you are no longer a member of the Severed Fingers Gang. Hand over the casino in your hands! Since you can’t manage the casino well, many people in the Severed Fingers Gang can help you. You should reflect on that.”
“As for Lord Byron, since you are Miss Deena’s father, I will let you go for daring to lay your hands on her. I hope there won’t be a next time.”
As Veronica spoke, Elven went to Deena and took out a set of black clothes. There was a broken sword-shaped finger embroidered on the chest area. “This is the clothes for our intelligence officer. Perhaps you are still in shock, but no matter what happens in the future, you can tell me.”
“Thank you, Lady Elven.” Deena took the clothes and looked touched.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you out to eat something. I’ll tell you about your work and help you calm down.” Elven patted Deena’s shoulder and led her out.
“Stop right there! You’re not allowed to leave!”
Byron realized that the money in his hands was gone; he was unwilling to do it. He immediately got up and wanted to chase after Deena. At that moment, Elven turned around and beamed lights from her eyes to leave two deep ravines on the ground in front of Byron.
Byron was terrified by the sight.
“Do you have any objections?”
“No, no.”
“Remember, Deena is Young Master Watson’s subordinate. Don’t attack her again, or you will end up like that soil.” Elven snorted coldly and escorted Deena away with Veronica.. No one dared to speak again.
