Ch. 391..400
Life After Prison Chapter 391-“What? What did you say?”
Upon hearing that, Trevor only knew Severin had done other things to his son.
Lucy sneered. “Oh, he’s not a real man anymore.”
Although Lucy said it discreetly, Trevor knew what she was saying.
“Damn him! F*ck him!” Trevor slapped his thigh. “But there’s nothing we can do. He’s too powerful. We’re just sending our bodyguards to their death and there’s nothing you can do if you go.”
Easton said, “That’s why we hired the assassin! Oh, Mister Edward told me the assassin was here yesterday morning. I think the assassin is probably going to execute his mission either. today or tomorrow. We hired a six-stars assassin this time. He’s one of the most powerful assassins in the killer organization. I’m not leaving the city. I’m staying because I want to see Severin dead!”
Trevor considered and finally nodded his head. “Let’s sell all of our fixed assets. With that money, we can at least pay most of our debts even when we had no choice but to have the company declare bankruptcy. Oh, that includes the villa that you guys bought a few days ago. Sell it even if the seller asks for a lower price!”
Once that was said, Lucy could not accept that. She said angrily, “Dad, what are you talking about? You can’t sell that! That’s Easton and my wedding gift. We just bought it and we haven’t even moved in. How can you sell it? Where are we going to stay if you sell it?”
“We can rent a place to stay. Just do it. And sell your car too. Otherwise, our debtors might kill us!” Trevor made the decision.
“Dad, then how are we any different from the poor? That means we’re going to have a whole. lot of debts and no money! I haven’t even enjoyed a day yet since I married Easton. Are you expecting me to bear the debts with you guys?”
It was hard for Lucy to accept this situation. The reason she had chosen Easton was because Easton was rich. She could buy luxury cars and branded bags without thinking twice. Now her life took a turn and she had to bear the debt and rent a place to live. How could she accept the changes?
Easton’s face became sullen. “You were poor too before, weren’t you? Since you have chosen. to be with me, isn’t it normal for you to go through thick and thin together? So you are willing to be with me when I’m rich and now that I don’t have any money, you’re saying this?”
Lucy bit her teeth while her eyes became red. She shouted back, “Easton, do you know how much I did for you? My wedding was ruined and I was insulted because I choose to marry you! I want another wedding and you kept on telling me later! Now you want me to bear the debt. and suffer together with you? I can’t do it!”
Easton was in an angry mood, to begin with. The rage overtook him when Lucy shouted at him. He gave Lucy a slap in the face and said, “You are a vain and materialistic woman! How dare you speak of that wedding? If you didn’t invite him just because you wanted to taunt him, do you think he will destroy our wedding? It’s all your fault my family is in this situation. Get the hell out of here now! From now on, you’re not my wife!”
“You-you hit me! I will leave! We never registered and I was never really your wife! Hmph! I’m not going to suffer with an imbecile like you!” Lucy said angrily while covering her face.
Once she had her say, she turned around and left.
“F*ck you!”
Fury surged through Easton. He had tolerated it when he found out that damn woman slept together with Edward. Now that he had no money, Lucy actually thought of leaving him immediately! His frustration kicked in so he ran after her and kicked her back “Bam!”
Lucy fell to the floor.
“Ouch!”
Life After Prison Chapter 392-Lucy grunted painfully and got up on her feet. “Easton! Are you a man or not? How could
you kick me? Sure enough, I was wrong. If I continue to be with Severin, maybe I’ll have a better life. I was blind to choose you. It’s bad enough you’re poor but you’re hitting me now!”
Easton glared at her angrily and said with his gritted teeth, “Get the hell out of here before I convince myself to kill you! That villa and the car in the garage belong to me! Don’t even think about taking them!”
“You-!”
At first, Lucy thought about driving the car away because the car was quite valuable. Having heard that, she nearly suffocation in her fury.
In the end, she took out the key from her purse and threw it on the floor. “I’m young and beautiful! And I don’t give a damn about your damn car! Hmph! I can easily find a better man than you!”
After that, she said nothing else and left. Yet, she kept on looking back while she walked toward the door as she was afraid Easton would kick her again.
“Mister Trevor! I have bad news!”
Shortly after Lucy left, the butler of the Loughs came running in.
Trevor smiled bitterly. At this point, he had calmed down. “I know. We’re going broke. Sell anything that we can possibly sell. Damn, the Horsfield. They just left without saying anything. I’m sure they had transferred all of their cash before they left.”
Yet, that was not what the butler was going to say. “It’s not this. Other than the Horsfield leaving the city. Something happened to the Chavezs too. Draco Hall had killed every single. one of the Chavezs. They dispersed the servants and bodyguards though. Then they took over the Chavezs’ business and assets.”
“What?” Trevor gasped. “Oh, my god. Is it real? How did that happen? Why would Draco Hall. do that to the Chavezs all of a sudden? The underground force and the upper-class family have always refrained from invading each other. Why would they suddenly break this unspoken rule?”
Easton smiled bitterly. “Dad, we’re already having trouble with ourselves. Why do you have the time to care about the Chavezs? Sigh…I really never expected to see our family be in this. situation…”
Trevor looked at Easton. “You better pray the assassin you hired is going to do his job. The Horsfield had left the city and we are broke. If this assassin failed to kill Severin and got killed in return, we don’t have any money to hire another one!”
Upon hearing that, Easton’s mouth twitched. By this time, the news about the Horsfield and the Chavezs was all over the city. This was the first time two two-tier upper-class families ended in a tragedy at the same time. Many families had called upon their core families member to gather for a meeting.
“Hi, grandma. A meeting now? Alright.”
Diane and Severin were shopping together with Selene when she received a call from
“Come on, grandma asks us to go back. She calls for a meeting and said it was urgent!” Diane smiled and explained after she hung up the phone.
Life After Prison Chapter 393-“Okay. Let’s go.”
Severin nodded and drove to the Shanahan’s estate. Quickly enough, they reached their destination. At that moment, George, Stanley, and the others were already there in the living hall. And so were Megan, William, and Felicia too.
“Hurry up. We’re waiting for you two!” Stanley said impatiently when he saw Severin.
After the night he got tricked by Severin, he held a grudge against Severin. He contacted Coco the next morning. She said she was drunk and fell asleep in the bathroom. Her explanation was her phone ran out of battery when Stanley could not get hold of her when he tried calling her. Stanley felt helpless. He knew she was lying but there was nothing he could do.
However, Coco was very benevolent. After she received seventy-five thousand dollars from Severin, she gave the other girls seven thousand dollars each and told them to keep it a secret.
Since Buttercup and Tina did not do anything, especially anything bad, they were happy to receive the money.
Thus, Stanley had no money to go out and have fun the days after that night. Recalling how Severin tricked him, he was not in the mood. Especially how Catherine valued Diane and Severin even more now.
During these few days, he had been trying to contact Robin. Yet, Robin could not be bothered to reply to him. His hope of being a live-in-son-in-law was near zero. It pissed him off even more.
Severin looked at Stanley and knew Stanley was still pissed off about that night. He could not be bothered to deal with him and said to Catherine, “Grandma. I’m sorry for being late and having everyone wait for us. We were shopping just now and were quite far from here.”
Catherine waved her hand. “Sit down. There’re some seats over there. They were just here a moment ago. There’s no hurry.”
Severin nodded and brought Diane and Selene to the empty seats to sit. After Severin sat down, he realized the place they sat was near the front. Obviously, it showed their status in the family.
“I’ve gathered everyone here today to tell you two news!” Catherine smiled.
“The first news is the upper-class families had gotten together to attack the Horsfields. With the involvement of Brookbourn Mansion and the other businessmen, the Horsfields are now broke. The head of the Horsfield and Edward had left the city with the remaining cash!”
Upon hearing that, Diane could not help and look at Severin. Yesterday morning, Severin told her to terminate the partnership with the Horsfield. From the look of it, he must have known this was happening.
Catherine smiled again. “But I know our family had terminated our partnership with them. earlier and found new business partners. Many other businessmen now discover our potential and seek to cooperate with us. Therefore, we didn’t suffer any huge losses. The only project we had with them ended yesterday too.”
At this point, she paused and looked at Diane. “Diane, it seems like you know something was going to happen to the Horsfiled.”
Life After Prison Chapter 394-Everyone looked at Diane. It surprised them that Diane actually have the ability to foresee it.
Diane smiled. “Severin was the one who told me. He is good friends with Miss Robin. I think maybe she had told him in advance.”
Upon hearing that, Catherin nodded satisfyingly. “Good. That’s good. It’s best if you are close with the Ballards.”
Severin smiled faintly. “We are now not just close with the Ballards. All I need to do is call. Mister Zachariah and he will rush over here now immediately.”
“Bluff all you want!” Stanley gave Severin a disdainful look. He said, “Do you think you’re really that powerful just because grandma complimented you? Maybe Miss Robin is really too blind to fall in love with you and maintain a close relationship with you. But does Mister Zachariah approve of you? Do you think you are worthy to be with Miss Robin? The difference. between you two is just too big. Not to mention, you were once sent to jail. It’s not good if the others find out about it, right?”
Severin sneered. “Oh well. At least Miss Robin was the one who likes me. At least, I’m better than someone who tries to harass her with his thick face. Luckily Miss Robin ignored him.”
“You-what nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t do that!”
All of a sudden, Stanley felt humiliated and talked back.
Severin scoffed. “Oh really? This morning, Miss Robin complained to me. She told me a guy called Stanley kept on harassing her. Asking her if she was awake in the morning and has she slept yet during the night. She told me he was going to ask her out for lunch and buy a bag for her. I wonder if it’s you that she was talking about?”
“You…” Stanley gritted his teeth angrily. He did not expect Miss Robin to ignore her but told. Severin everything.
“Alright, alright. That’s all I have to say about the Horsfield. What I’m about to talk next is. about the Chavez.”
Catherine continued, “No one knew the reason. Yesterday Draco Hall had killed every member of the Chavezs. After that, they dispersed the servant and the bodyguards that surrender. None of the Chavezs is alive right now.”
“What?” Stanley was so shocked that he got on his feet. “The Chavezs is a second-tier upper- class family. And they had many elite fighters. How could they possibly be killed so easily?”
“We don’t have any detailed information. We only know Draco Hall had already taken over everything that belonged to the Chavez!”
Catherine thought for a while and continued, “What I want to know is whether the Ballard is. going to do anything to Draco Hall.”
Diane had a weird expression on her face. She told Abigail to keep her kidnapping a secret because she was afraid that might have her grandma and parent worried. Thus the only ones who knew about it were Severin and her.
If Severin had not killed so many elite fighters by himself without a sweat yesterday, the Rulus were dead. With the sudden ambush from Draco Hall, the Chavezs had no one to lead them. The guardians were not around. Therefore, the Chavezs had no chance at all.
Severin smiled. “Catherine, I have an idea. Since Draco Hall now owns so many, they’re probably in a difficult position now and wary that the Brookbourn Mansion might cause trouble for them. After all, this has broken the balance the city once had. What about this? Ask Mister Larry from Draco Hall to give us some of the business and they could keep those small businesses that are suitable for them to handle.”
Life After Prison Chapter 395-“Hoho. Severin, are you serious? Do you think they will give those to you? In your dream!” Stanley scoffed when he heard that.
There was no way in anyone’s right mind that the people from Draco Hall would give part of Chavez’s business to their family. It was something only an idiot would do.
Even Geroge mocked. “Hoho. Some people really love to be in their dreams. This is just impossible. If this came true, I will be happy to slap myself a few times. Or maybe run naked. around this estate!”
Severin heard that and chuckled. “George, you’re the head of the family and you shouldn’t joke around. Do you think it was appropriate of you to say those things? If you can’t do it, it is going to be very embarrassing!”
George did not expect Severin to talk to him in that manner. “Tsk, do you think I’m joking? If that happens, our family has the right to become a second-tier upper-class family. How many assets are that going to be? It’s going to be worth it for the run one round to celebrate having that many assets in the family, isn’t it?”
Everyone heard that and cracked up.
Severin smiled and said, “It’s going to be a big round outside of our estate. Can you finish it? Your floppy fats are going to flip around in the air when you run. Oh my, I can’t even bear myself to imagine that!”
It roused George’s anger. “Severin, do you really think Draco Hall will give us that many? Fine, get Larry here and ask us to give what once belonged to the Chavezs to us. I don’t need much. I’ll run naked if he is willing to hand over half of it!”
He paused and continued, “But what if he gives us less or even nothing? Are you going to run naked?”
Severin smiled. “Haha. Sure, why not? Since you’ve already said it out, I’ll be embarrassed if I don’t accept the challenge. Everyone here can be our witness. Anyone who does not fulfill the end of the bargain is a d*ckhead!”
“Fine. Anyone who does not fulfill the end of the bargain is a d*ckhead!”
George held his fist and accepted the challenge. From his point of view, Severin was definitely going to lose. Larry and Blade were no idiots. It was impossible for them to hand over that many businesses to the Shanahans. And it was obvious. Neither Larry nor Blade was an idiot.
Diane was scared. She quickly pulled Severin. “Severin, what are you doing? I know you and Larry and Blade are very close. But that doesn’t mean they will hand over that. many businesses to us! How could they possibly give us nearly half of what the Chavezs used to own?
Megan also expressed her concern. “Severin, were you drinking before you come back? That must be the alcohol talking. It just doesn’t make sense!”
Felicia joined. “Severin, are you dumb? You’re going to embarrass yourself if you run naked.”
Williams did not say anything but he looked gloomy. He did not understand what was wrong with Severin.
Catherin glared at Severin and said, “Severin, are you for real? If you two are really betting on it, I will be the one monitoring whoever losses. Of course, for the sake of our reputation, the loser can at least wear underwear.”
Since everyone was persuading Severin to take back his words, George felt confident. “Severin, I’m giving you one last chance. There’s still time for you to regret it. I don’t want others to say. I’m bullying an idiot in the future! Haha!”
“You’re the idiot!” Severin glared at him and said, “I never regret the things I said. The challenge is on!”
“Fine. Haha! But there is a time restriction. If Larry did not promise to give us half of the Chavezs within a day, then it means you lose the challenge. What do you think?”
Life After Prison Chapter 396-George laughed in delight. Stanley, who was by the side, was extremely smug too. His father was finally cool for once. That should be how the head of the family should look like!
He added fuel to the fire by saying, “So? Severin, do you want to raise the bet? If my father loses, I’ll run naked together with him. If not, if you lose, you’ll get your wife to run naked with you. How’s that?”
When Severin heard what he said, he clenched his fists tightly. He never thought that they would be so cocky.
“Sure! Since you want to embarrass yourself together with your father, I’ll play along!” he said directly.
“Severin, what are you doing? If you want to bet, do it yourself! Why are you dragging me into this? I’m not going to run naked!” Diane jumped in fright. At that moment, she was furious, glaring at Severin.
Severin knew that he could not keep things from his wife any longer. He pulled her to the side. and secretly said, “Honey, don’t worry. We won’t lose. This industry is like a hot potato to Draco Hall. I believe the one Larry’s giving to Shanahan’s estate. He had previously mentioned. this to me!”
Upon hearing that, Diane was slightly persuaded. “Are you serious?”
“Why would I lie to you? You’re my wife. If I’m not hundred percent sure, why would I risk. letting you run naked?” Severin promised.
“Hmph! It’s good that you still care!” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin. At that, she was no longer that angry and chose to believe Severin.
Then, Diane walked over once more.
“So? Diane, have you talked to your husband? Do you dare to bet? Haha!” When Stanley saw them return, he could not help but chuckle smugly.
Diane was infuriated at how arrogant they were being. She said directly, “Okay! I’ll agree to it! I’m really looking forward to you two fatsos running naked! Tsk! I’m going to take photos in all your full glory!”
“Does that mean you agree to the bet? Okay! It’s a deal!” Stanley chuckled. From the way he saw it, Diane must have been provoked by him to agree to the deal.
“Diane, you must be joking! Why are you joining in on such a bet?” Megan jumped and immediately walked over, saying to Diane, “You’re a lady. If you do that, your reputation will be tarnished for the rest of your life!”
Life After Prison Chapter 397-Diane looked at Severin before saying to Megan, “Don’t worry. I have faith in Severin. I believe he will win!”
“You’ve gone nuts! Nuts! All of you!” Megan was utterly speechless. Why would her sister ever join in on such a bet? She could not fathom at all.
Severin was a little moved that he had gained Diane’s trust. This made him very happy.
“We don’t need a day! I’ll call the Hall Master right now!” Severin smiled and took his phone. out, then dialed Larry.
At that moment, Larry was worried sick to death, not knowing what to do. He was afraid that the Brookbourn Mansion would look for them for trouble, and even more afraid that they would join forces with the first-tier upper-class families to gang up on them. After all, this has never happened between underground forces and upper-class families before. Naturally, the other first-tier upper-class families would worry.
When Larry received Severin’s call, he immediately led more than a dozen of Draco Hall men and drove over to them.
In the main hall, Catherin immediately welcomed Larry and Blade in to have a seat.
“Haha! Severin, what can we do for you?” Larry chuckled and asked once he arrived.
Stanley and George, standing by the side, were secretly smirking. They wanted to see how shameless Severin would be to ask them.
They never would have thought that Severin merely smiled and cut to the chase. “I heard that you two have taken over the Chavezes’ business. Those are hot potatoes! You two are almost going to surpass Brookbourn Mansion. I’m sure they won’t be too happy about it, right?”
“Yes, it is indeed hot!” Blade furrowed his brow then asked Severin tentatively, “I wonder if you have any solutions? There are many strong people in Brookbourn Mansion. Although we have taken over the Chavezes’ business, we’re completely no match for them!”
Severin smiled. “I do have a solution, that is, to give most of the businesses to us the Shanahans. That way, you won’t have the hot potatoes in your hands. All you need is to take a suitable number of businesses. I don’t think you’ll be able to manage the rest!”
up The crowd was speechless. They never would have thought that Severin would be so direct and shamelessly expressing his thoughts. Was he not afraid of aggravating Larry and Blade and that they would destroy the Shanahans?
Catharine was startled. She thought that Severin would tactfully analyze the problem with. them. She never would have thought that he would be so direct. There was no difference. between directly asking them for money!
Furthermore, the businesses that they could not manage, they could just sell it. It was worth a lot! They are not idiots.
She immediately said to Severin, “Severin, what nonsense are you talking about? Stop it at once! They might have a lot of businesses, but if they can’t manage them, they could hire people to manage the businesses for them. If they can’t do it, they could still sell it off!”
Then, Catharine smiled at Larry and said, “Master Larry, don’t mind Severin. He is just joking! That’s his favorite thing to do!”
However, Larry was merely slightly taken aback, then his eyes sparkled. He said, “That’s a great solution! It’s done! Let me see, the Chavezes have a few swimming pools and some spas. We’ll keep these, the rest, we’ll give to you!”
“What?!”
The Shanahans gasped when they heard what Larry said. How was that possible? They were only going to keep about ten percent of the Chavezes’ businesses to themselves and give the rest to them?
“That’s impossible!”
Life After Prison Chapter 398-Stanley and George were completely dumbfounded. They even wondered if they had misheard. Unless Larry and Blade had suddenly turned into idiots within one night?
Larry pondered for a while before deliberately explaining, “Severin is right. These in my hands are truly like hot potatoes, so giving it to the Shanahans is the best possible option. Furthermore, he and I are good brothers. He had even treated my mother before. Money isn’t too important to me, so this is settled. What do you all think?”
Looking at Catharine’s baffled expression, Larry felt that his excuse was still rather weak. He thought about it for a while before adding, “Of course, we’re not giving it to you just for free!”
Catharine came to her senses upon hearing that. Turns out there were conditions involved!
She immediately asked, “Master Larry, what are your conditions? Tell me!”
“From now onward, every year you need to hand in a financial report to us and split thirty. percent of the profits with us. You can’t tell anyone about this. You’ll be managing the business, but we’ll get thirty percent of the profits. I think this is a good deal!” Larry said with a smile.
“No problem!” Catharine immediately agreed to it. The businesses were worth too much. They only needed to share thirty percent of the profits. This meant that they received seventy percent of the profits out of thin air! It was almost free!
Even if the Shanahans received thirty percent of the profits, it would be already a great deal, let alone receiving seventy percent!
“Haha! Then, it’s a deal!” Larry chuckled and secretly praised himself for his quick wit. To him, it did not matter, after all, it was all Severin’s. Giving the business to the Shanahans was the same as giving it to Severin. At least, that way, if the Ballards found out about it, they would not do anything to them.
Moreover, if they were to hold onto the businesses, even if the Ballards did not come looking. for trouble, they would still have to hand over some of the businesses as a peace offering. It would be much better to give them to the Shanahans.
“Miss Diane, why don’t you send your men to handle the takeover? Other than the few businesses that we wanted to keep, the rest will be handed over to you! I’ll get Blade to pass on my instructions for you all to take over!”
“Okay! Sure! Don’t worry! We will manage it properly and make it even more profitable!” Diane nodded delightedly.
She thought for a while before saying, “Master Larry if you’re free tonight, why don’t you join. us for dinner as a celebration of our collaboration!”
Larry pondered for a while before politely declining. “In this current situation, I don’t think it’s appropriate. If news got out that we were dining together to talk business, it would be bad! Let’s do it another day!”
“Yes, you’re right! This timing doesn’t seem too appropriate !” Diane nodded in agreement after giving it closer thought.
Soon, Larry and Blade left. The Shanahans immediately instructed their men to take over the Chavezes’ business.
“Amazing! We’ve hit the jackpot! Now, all of the businesses are ours! And we only need to give them 30 percent of our profit!” Everyone in the Shanahans was extremely excited.
Life After Prison Chapter 399-Stanley was also extremely thrilled. “My God! Haha! Does that mean we can almost go up against the first-tier upper-class families? Although we can’t compare to them, among the second-tier upper-class families, we’re definitely in the lead!”
George was also delighted. After all, it was a great bargain.
“Ahem! You two. Don’t forget about our bet. Let’s go! We’re waiting for you to run naked!” Severin cleared his throat and reminded them.
“What? We were just joking!” George chuckled awkwardly. He previously thought that they would not lose. He never thought that this would have happened. It was such a surprise, so naturally, he would not want to run naked with Stanley.
“As the head of the family, are you going back on your word?” Severin said coldly, “Everyone. here was a witness to what you just said. Are you two a sore loser?”
Catharine thought for a while before saying, “Severin, if you get them to run out naked, it will embarrass our family. Why don’t we just get them to strip?”
“No, I don’t think it’s great either. I think we can give them a piece of cloth to let them cover their parts!” Severin said firmly.
“Okay! We’ll do it that way!” Catharine nodded after hearing what Severin said.
Soon, Stanley and George only had a piece of cloth around them, standing right in front of the gates.
“Dad, this is extremely embarrassing if someone were to see us!” Stanley looked at his father in displeasure. The bet was initially only between his father and Severin, yet he insisted on raising the bet, wanting to see Diane embarrassing herself. He never would have thought that it backfired after he dragged himself into it.
George, on the other hand, accepted it openly. “Just treat it as a celebration! We have suddenly gained a few billion dollars’ worth of businesses! We’re rich! Our family will be powerful!”
Then, George quickly ran ahead. “If we were to run fast enough, it would be less embarrassing!
“My God! Is that the head of the Shanahan family and his son? What is going on? Is this a form of performance art?” Some passersby were stunned when they saw what was happening. Some even took their phones out to film them.
“Dad, I feel so embarrassed!” Stanley felt helpless.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t feel embarrassed! As long as you don’t feel embarrassed, the others will be embarrassed instead!”
George has accepted his fate. He even started posing for the others to take photos.
“Dad, what are you doing? Why are you posing!”
Stanley looked at his father and thought he had gone mad. This was way over the top.
“You know nothing, kid! If you don’t pose, they will laugh at you. If you pose, they might not know what is going on. They might think we’re doing some sort of performance or doing a publicity stunt!” George said.
“Publicity stunt?”
Life After Prison Chapter 400-Stanley was a little stunned, then he came to the realization.
Yes, after all, he had to take a run around. If he were to be embarrassed about it, others would surely laugh. If he felt awkward, it would be even more embarrassing, so he would rather own it and make others feel awkward instead. Also, it could just be a publicity stunt for the Shanahans.
“Yes! We’re celebrating! The Shanahans are becoming a second-tier upper-class family!” Stanley yelled and started mimicking his father, posing.
“What?” The passersby who heard him gasped. Were the Shanahans going to become a second -tier upper-class family? Turns out they were celebrating it this way! Father and son sure. loved their family a lot! At that moment, everyone’s perception of them changed. Some even started admiring their guts and how open they were! Many even took videos and uploaded them to the internet!
However, the two plump men lacked stamina. They merely ran half a round and could no longer go on, but to avoid feeling awkward, they still posed for the passersby, letting them. take photos however they liked, looking natural and nonchalant.
Severin and the others, who were standing by the gates waiting for them, finally saw them returning, panting heavily.
“Have they gone mad? They even posed for people to take pictures of them?” Megan was baffled looking at what they were doing. After all, no one could have thought that this would happen. If she were them, she would have dug herself a grave and buried herself alive. It was too embarrassing.
“Okay, okay! Thank you, everyone!” By the gates, some of the passersby even ran over to take photos.
Stanley immediately posed and said to everyone, “This is a promotional event that my dad and I planned. We’re opening a new restaurant called the Delight Diner. Our mission is to hope. that everyone can be as happy as us, let go of unnecessary baggage, and live happily! Please come and visit our restaurant!”
“Yes, please come and visit!” George also posed a few poses before entering and getting changed.
When they returned to their rooms, George and Stanley were so exhausted that they almost. passed out.
“Dad, it’s really embarrassing, but we made it! F*ck, I’ve never been so humiliated in my life! Severin is a b*stard!”
At the thought of how Severin humiliated them, Stanley clenched his fists tightly, wanting to tear Severin into pieces.
He never would have thought that George would say to him, “Stanley, can’t you see? Severin is no ordinary guy. That Larry Dune clearly listens to him! They have such a close bond! Which ist why, you can hate Severin, but just hate him, don’t go bothering him looking for trouble!”
“Dad, why? Is he really that great?” Stanley furrowed his brows. He wanted to seek revenge for the incident at the bar, yet he never would have expected that his father was persuading him not to.
Although he knew that his father was a man of few words, he was still a smart person, only appearing to be a fool. After all, he followed his father’s instructions during the run and they successfully finished the entire course, and it indeed became less awkward than when they initially started running.
George said, “He is great! Any ordinary person is no match for him! Furthermore, haven’t you realized? Something suddenly happened to the Chavezes and the Horsefields. Also, once Horsefields went
down, the Loughs declared bankruptcy too! All these people had offended Severin! The Zelankos, Ballards, Longhorns, and even Draco Hall cracked down on the Horsefields. That proved that they were all willing to help Severin!”
