Sorcerer in the Women’s World

Chapter 84: Celia: I’m Heartbroken

In a heavily guarded secret base, this was the branch of the adjudicators in Royo City. Every city had its branch.

The main purpose was to monitor the people with special powers of the various large Families.

Catherine sat at the head of the table. On both sides of the table were more than a dozen women wearing black cloaks. These were the intelligence officers of the base.

“Miss, the purple-robed adjudicator died because of an auction item. However, we’ve screened all the people who were in the Century Auction House that day, and we didn’t find anyone suspicious, but we did find something suspicious.”

“Suspicious? This?”

Catherine shook the green potion in her hand.

Wasn’t this just an ordinary potion? There didn’t seem to be anything special about it.

“Miss, this is called the Berserk Potion. It can increase a warrior’s strength by three folds.”

“What? Three folds!”

Catherine was shocked.

There were strength-enhancing potions on the market, but most of them could only increase the strength of the user by only one fold.

It was the first time she had heard of a potion that could increase the user’s strength by three folds.

“Velken must be hiding something.”

“I’ll go and capture and interrogate Velken immediately.”

Catherine shook her head.

“In any case, he is still a member of a large Family, we can’t just capture him like this. Go and investigate the people who are close to Velken, I think we will find the answer there.”

“Yes!”

…

Welsh walked out of the martial arts centre and bumped into Lex and the other two.

“Why haven’t you left?”

Celia is currently not in a good mood. Were you waiting for her to come out and beat you up again?

Lex and the other two trembled as they remembered how terrifying Celia was.

“Uh, we’re leaving, we’re leaving now!”

They did not want to be tortured again.

“Wait!”

Welsh called out to them.

“Is… is there anything else?”

The three of them turned around, the fear and the nerves making their scalps tingle. Compared to Celia, they were more afraid of Welsh.

After all, the scene just now was still lingering in their minds.

In their hearts, they had long regarded Welsh as a demon.

Now that the demon was looking at them with a smile, it made their scalps tingle more than ever, the fear had reached a point they were even willing to kneel immediately.

If Welsh had given them the same blow he had served Chang He, they would have lost their lives in a snap.

Welsh tried his best to look amiable as he said, “Do you want the injuries on your faces to heal faster?”

“You… What do you want? We were really wrong.” Lex said gloomily.

How crazy was he to have provoked such a devil?

If he was given another chance, he would definitely hide far away.

As long as Welsh was around, he would never set foot in the place.

When he thought about how he had ordered people to use glue to try and trick him previously, his heart was filled full of panic.

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you. I just want to ask if you are willing to be my underlings. Of course, other than treating your injuries, there will be other benefits in the future.”

Welsh was prepared to establish his own force.

The things he would encounter in the future would become more and more complicated. If he were to rely on himself, he would probably die of exhaustion.

Intelligence, manpower, and resources were all things that he needed to consider.

Of course, he could not establish them all at once. Instead, he chose to develop slowly and take the long but steady way.

He would start with the three of them.

“Plop!”

The three of them immediately knelt.

If they had such a strong person as their boss, their futures would be bright.

Lex did not hesitate. He went forward and hugged Welsh’s thigh.

“Big Brother Welsh, as long as you protect us, let alone being your underling, we can even call you daddy. Daddy!”

Welsh was speechless.

“Alright, that’s enough. Wait here, I will give you the medicine later.”

Lex was really so very shameless, to the point he could kneel on the ground and call him daddy.

If people were to find out, he wondered what rumours would spread about him behind his back.

At this moment, Welsh saw Celia walking out of the martial arts centre.

However, she seemed to still be angry at him and was still ignoring him.

“Did you get the medicine? Lend me some.”

Smack!

Celia threw him a medicine bag without looking back.

Then, she left directly.

Welsh gave the medicine to his three new subordinates and chased after her.

“Hey, are you angry?”

Celia didn’t say anything.

“Is it because of your manny?”

Welsh asked her, but she still didn’t say anything.

Her face was fully void of any emotion.

The manny had crossed his bottom line, so Welsh chose to take action. In principle, he didn’t do anything wrong.

“There’s no need to be angry because of him. That manny does indeed not know how to behave, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been left to run a small martial arts centre here.” Celia said.

‘So he was banished here. No wonder he seemed so resentful.’ Welsh thought.

At this moment, Celia stopped and looked at Welsh.

“I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. I thought you were just a little more powerful than me.”

Welsh smiled and said, “I’m not that powerful. It’s just a show.”

Celia fell silent.

“If you’re not unhappy because of your manny, what are you unhappy about?”

Welsh did not understand, was it that he did something wrong?

“I’m heartbroken.”

“What?”

Celia’s words made Welsh’s expression change.

“You have another man?”

He was very angry as if he had been cuckolded.

“Didn’t you say that even if I begged you on my knees, you wouldn’t marry into my Family?”

Celia’s face was full of sorrow.

So this is why she’s angry… A hint of gentleness appeared in Welsh’s eyes. “Silly, of course I won’t marry into your Family, because I want to take you as my wife.”

“How can you be sure that I will marry into your Family?”

Celia smiled.

All the sad emotions she had from before also disappeared.

As long as Welsh did not despise her, everything was fine.

Hearing Celia’s words, Welsh said confidently, “If you don’t even want to marry such an outstanding man like me. Who else do you want to marry?”

“Then, should I also return this sentence to you?” Celia retorted.

Welsh was stunned.

He did not expect Celia to be so quick-witted.

“See, you won’t marry into my Family, and I won’t marry into yours, so our relationship is still over.”

Celia shook away his hand sadly, her face once again filled with sadness.

How could Welsh give up so easily?

He grabbed Celia’s cute hand and kissed it gently.

“As long as you don’t take a husband, we can be together for the rest of our lives. I’ll always treat you as my first love.”

Welsh looked serious.

Celia looked at him tightly. At this moment, the entire world seemed to have stopped.

After a long time, she finally came to her senses.

“Then… then will you marry into another Family?”

“Of course not!”

Welsh said as he hugged her.

Celia nestled in his arms and felt her heart surge with sweetness.

“What a touching scene.”

At this moment, a woman’s voice was heard.

Welsh’s gaze became sharp as he looked at the wall in front of them. A woman in black had appeared.

Welsh could sense a dangerous aura from her.

It was obvious to him that this person’s strength was above his.

“An old friend. I’ll talk to her. You go home first.”

“No, you should go first.”

Celia also felt the powerful aura.

She couldn’t just leave Welsh to face the woman alone.

Furthermore, the aura of this woman was comparable to that of her second aunt. She was a top-tier cultivator.

She was probably not too far away from becoming a junior master warrior.

Even with the two of them combined, they would not be a match for this person, let alone Welsh alone.

“Believe me, with you here, I won’t be able to fight wholeheartedly,” Welsh said.

This made Celia very angry.

Was he calling her a burden?

Celia stomped on Welsh’s foot fiercely, then ran back home.

“Don’t die, wait for me to come back.”
