Ch. 691..700

Life After Prison Chapter 691-“Mason, it’s rare to hear you say that.”

Stanley laughed out loud. His relationship with Mason went way back. Hearing Mason asking for help for the first time was a surprise to him and also showed how desperate Mason was.

Without any hesitation, he answered, “Don’t worry. We are friends and friends help each other out. If you need me to kill that kid, I’ll fly in tomorrow.”

Mason was thrilled to hear that. “Thanks, Stanley. I’ll pick you up from the airport tomorrow.”

After they finished talking, Mason called another good friend of his who was also a war chief. Just like in the previous conversation, he exaggerated the whole thing. This time, the war chief also agreed to help without any hesitation. Once that was done, Mason felt delighted and walked out of the room where he saw Horus.

“Father, how is it? Is there anyone willing to help us?”

Horus felt hopeful when he saw his father walking out with a better look on his face.

Mason smiled. “Yes. Stanley and Zalton agree to help us.”

“That’s great! Haha! Severin that b*stard will never what’s waiting for him. Two war chiefs! Haha! I think one of them is a level eight warrior king and the other one is a level seven warrior king. This time Severin is dead for sure!” Horus said excitingly.

On the other hand, Yoel was sitting down having his coffee and did not have the intention to give a comment.

Mason looked at Horus and said, “Horus. We need to be grateful the war chiefs are willing to help us to kill Severin. On that day, our goal is to destroy his wedding. Don’t do other outrageous things when you see pretty girls, okay? The war chiefs are righteous people. If they see you bullying the others, I’m afraid they are not going to help us and it might also anger them.”

Horus smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, father. I know what you are saying. Everything is going to be easy once Severin is dead. We can think of another way to take revenge on his wife in the future.”

The corner of Yoel’s mouth twitched a few times. All the while, he was not a fan of the things Horus did. It just did not occur to him that Mason would continue to spoil Horus after yesterday’s humiliation.

Mason smiled. “Don’t worry. They promised me that they will kill Severin and destroy the six bodyguards” attainment. I told them I was afraid the bodyguards would seek revenge for Severin so they promise to do it.”

After hearing that, Horus got even more excited. “Wonderful! That’s the best! Haha. His bodyguards are very powerful too. You make the right decision asking the war chiefs to destroy their attainment.”

The more Horus thought of it, the more excited he got. Those bodyguards were very pretty too. After the war chiefs destroyed their attainments, he could capture them when the war chiefs left. By then, he could anything he want with them. His heart was full of evil. He sneered as he thought about his sweet revenge Just then, Yoel placed his coffee mug on the table, stood up, and was going to leave.

Suddenly, Horus asked coldly, “Yoel. Are you going to say anything? You must be very happy now my wedding is canceled.”

Yoel stopped walking and looked at Horus. “I have nothing to say. The Great Elder did not have to die but he is dead now because he needed to protect our family’s honor and the safety of our family I don’t think I should feel happy now.”

“Yes, the Great Elder is dead. That’s why we should seek revenge for him. Don’t you understand?”

Horus looked at Yoel and said, “Are you going to come with us when we go over to Brookbourn to destroy Severin’s wedding? Witness how we take revenge for the Great Elder.”

Life After Prison Chapter 692-Yoel smiled bitterly and said, “No, I’m not going. My friends and I are going out fishing. You guys go ahead.

He left after finishing his sentence.

“Forget about him. He’s useless. All he knows is fishing,” Mason said coldly.

Nevertheless, they did not know Yoel never agreed with their actions and behaviors. After he left the house, he hailed a taxi to Serpent Hall’s headquarters where Rachel lived. He looked around to make sure no one was spying there. After that, he put on a pair of sunglasses and went to the entrance.

“Wow, Mister Yoel, why are you here?”

Two men were guarding the entrance. When they saw Yoel coming over, they teased him.

One of them mocked, “You have some nerves coming here. Don’t tell me you guys are not giving up. Isn’t it enough that the Great Elder of your family is dead?”

Yoel smiled bitterly and said, “Could you please inform your Hall Master that I have something important. to discuss with her?”

“F*ck off!” The man cursed disdainfully. “No. We are not helping anyone from the Neely. Our Hall Master is not in. Even if she is, we will not help you!”

“That’s right. The Neely are all bad people!”

“Not in?” Yoel frowned. After some thinking, he left.

When he was standing underneath a tree, he started to think. “No. I can’t let Father and Horus continue to kill more people. They are the ones at fault. Who knows how many more people are going to die if

they go to Brookbourn.”

Once he made up his mind, he went straight to the airport and bought an air ticket. After Severin returned home, he had nothing to do so he continued to make more medicine. Unexpectedly, on the next day evening, Yoel found Severin’s house. When Severin heard someone was requesting to see him, he went. downstairs and headed to the garden.

He frowned the moment he saw Yoel. “If I remember correctly, you are from the Neely. I saw you when I was at your house.”

Yoel nodded and greeted Severin politely. “I’m Yoel Neely, the second young master of the Neely. I’m here today because I have something that I’ll like to inform you. Please bring your wife and bodyguards away from this city as far as you can.”

Life After Prison Chapter 693-Severin’s eyes looked shocked as he heard that. Immediately, he chuckled. “Mister Yoel, I guess not everyone in your family is bad. Based on what you say, I gather that your family still wants to fight me.” He sat on the stone chair and said, “I wonder how is your family going to fight me this time.”

Since no one was around, Yoel sat beside Severin and whispered, “Mister Severin. To be honest, I don’t like what my father and my brother did. But my father dotted him very much that my brother is spoiled. Due to some family matters, my father doesn’t like me. I also suspect that Horus was the one who killed my mother…”

Severin frowned when he heard that. “Yes, Horus was the one who killed your mother. On the way back here, Miss Rachel told me about that. She said Horus admitted that to her…of course, you have every reason not to believe me because I’m your enemy.”

“What?”

All the while, Yoel had been suspecting Horus was the one who did it. When Severin confirmed it, he stood up and clenched his fist tightly. “Horus….we are brothers from different mothers but we grew up together. And I have always treated him as my elder brother. I didn’t know…”

Severin could tell Yoel and Horus have different personalities despite being brothers. He chuckled when Yoel was in a rage. “Mister Yoel, if your brother and father continue to cause trouble for me, I will not go easy on them anymore. I will kill them.”

The corner of Yoel’s mouth twitched a few times. He sat down and said, “I have no say in the family. Now that I know Horus is the one who kills my mother, I only want him dead. And my father. He is my father but he and Horus have been wary of me. I tiptoe through life because they never treat me as family.”

At this point, he smiled bitterly. “To the extent where Mason suspected that I’m not his legit son. My mother did not like him and had an affair with another man after they were married. That was why he suspected. Even after we had done a paternity test, he still doesn’t believe me. If the paternity test did not prove that I’m his son, he would have kicked me out of the house already.”

It was a surprise to Severin that Yoel had to live cautiously and so unbearable. After some thinking, he looked at Yoel. “If they create more trouble for me, I have to kill them. Will you hate me for that?”

“Haha!” Yoel laughed. “Mister Severin. if you have the ability to do that, you will help me to avenge my mother’s death. My mother was the one person who loved me the most. I wanted to leave with her but she asked me to stay so I can live a good life. She got kicked out of the house. But two days later, she died in a car crash. I have been suspecting either Mason or Horus did it. But I don’t have any evidence.” As he talked, his tears started falling from his eyes. I finally know the truth today. Horus is a b*stard!! wish I can kill him now to avenge my mother!”

“Good. If they have the audacity to come to find me, I will kill them and you will become the head of the Neely!”

Severin smiled faintly and patted Yoel’s shoulder.

Life After Prison Chapter 694-Yoel wiped away his tears. Immediately, his mind was clear. He reminded, “Mister Severin, I admire you for helping Miss Rachel to fight against someone like Horus. But you have to leave now. My father has found two war chiefs to help him out. They said they are going to destroy your wedding, kill you and destroy your bodyguards’ attainment!”

He thought for a while. “I’m sure Horus is going to do something to your wife and your bodyguards once the war chiefs kill you and destroy your bodyguards’ attainment. Such as torturing them.”

“Two war chiefs?”

Severin was shocked. He did not, expect Mason could get war chiefs to help him out. And he also did not expect Yoel was actually a righteous person and he was willing to come all the way here to inform him so he could have enough time to run.

“Yes. You have no idea. My father has built many connections over the years. Especially with Stanley Napier and Zalton Dunbar. They always talk on the phone. Both of the war chiefs agree to come to help him. You should gather your family and leave this city. Otherwise, it’s going to be too late on your wedding day.”

Yoel looked worried. He continued with his gritted teeth. “I will find a chance to avenge my mother one day. I can pay a pretty girl to poison him. That’s the easier way. He’s a lustful guy. I’m willing to do anything even sacrifice my life just to kill him.”

Severin felt touched to see how persistent Yoel was. “Thank you for the warning. But I have a wedding in two days and I have sent the invitations out. It’s impossible for me to call off the wedding now.”

After that, he giggled, “What would other people think of me if I call off the wedding now? It’s very embarrassing.”

Yoel was speechless. “Which is important? Your life or your face? What’s wrong with you guys? Even if you are not afraid to die, what about your wife and your parent? There are always more opportunities in the future as long as you remain alive. You have already achieved high attainment at such a young age Hide somewhere for now and you can have your revenge in the future.”

Severin felt warm knowing Yoel was seriously worried for him. He smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. I’m not leaving because it’s useless even if the two war chiefs are here. They are no match for me!”

“No way!”

Yoel was shocked to see how confident Severin was. After a while, he took a gulp and said, “Are you already a level nine warrior king? My god! Only those truly from the hidden family are capable to reach this level. Oh, and the War Gods.”

Obviously, Severin was not one of the War Gods. There were only four War Gods in the country.

After a moment of silence, Yoel said excitedly. “Are you a member of the hidden family? As I thought, hidden families do exist. I heard about them but I have never seen anyone from the family…”

Life After Prison Chapter 695-Severin was impressed with Yoel’s imagination. He chuckled. “Haha. Your imagination is as impressive as your brother’s.”

“He’s not my brother! He is never nice to me and he has always wanted to kick me out of the house!”

Yoel’s eyes were filled with hatred as he remembered the thing Horus did to his mother. “I wish for him to die now. If you can kill him and Mason, you’re doing me a great favor for avenging my mother. Without Mason’s permission, Horus would never dare to plan the car crash!”

Severin nodded. “But I will only kill them if they try to mess up my wedding. If they did not show up, I will not go and kill them.”

He paused for a while and continued, “Unless you regret your decision and do not want them dead. Then you can go warn them and persuade them from coming here.”

Yoel smiled bitterly after hearing that. “Hmph. I might probably do that if I didn’t know Horus is the one who killed my mother. Now I definitely won’t do that. Besides, Horus is never a person who would listen to me even if I try to persuade them. Heck, they probably think I’m getting in the way of them seeking revenge.”

He stood up and bowed respectfully at Severin. “Mister Severin, thank you for telling me all this. At least now I know who’s the one who killed my mother.”

“You’re welcome.” Severin smiled and watched Yoel leave the place.

As Yoel walked out, he stood at the roadside where once again his tears fell. “Mother, forgive me that I do not have the ability to avenge you myself…”

Time passed quickly. Within a blink of an eye, two days had passed. The entire Blooming Hotel was reserved. The Shanahans had several hundred bodyguards surrounding the entrance to show off their power and wealth. One by one, many luxury cars drove in. Suddenly, those luxurious cars such as Bentley or Ferrari did not look that niche anymore. Many businessmen arrived to give their blessing with the invitation card. The rooftop of Blooming Hotel was decorated with warm and romantic designs. The worker had placed several hundred tables.

Judith and Maurice looked extremely happy. It had been their wildest dream to witness such extravagant. Nearly all of the reputable and influential people were invited to the wedding. It was definitely a scene to remember.

Nevertheless, Felicia approached Severin and looked unsatisfied. “Severin, this is not bad considering the wedding has shocked Brookbourn. However, this is far less when you say the wedding is going to shock the south county.”

Megan, who was standing at the side, did not agree. “Mom, you should be content with the wedding. After all, Severin had already taken back The One And Only. He’s really very strong. Isn’t that shocking enough. for you?”

Even though Felicia knew the wedding was already very ostentatious, she could not help but said, “If only Mister Valerian could make it today, that would be perfect; his presence would bring much glory to our family!”

Hearing this, Megan could not agree more and murmured, “That’s very true. If only Mister Valerian is coming, he did say he could make it.”

Life After Prison Chapter 696-Catherine then asked Severin, “Didn’t you save his phone number? Have you informed him yet? Did he say he wasn’t able to attend?”

The Shanahans continued to hope for the attendance of a war chief like Valerian since that would become the talk of some of the neighboring cities at least, if not the entire South County.

Severin smiled. “It’s still early, Grandma. He’s probably on the way here already! Even Sheila and her family haven’t arrived yet, so we should expect Valerian to take a bit longer to arrive since he’ll be coming from somewhere far.”

“So you’re saying that he might be in attendance?” The old lady’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard that. Severin smiled and said, “And it won’t just be the war chiefs. Even the war gods will be coming over today! After all, this is my wedding, and the war gods need to show me a little courtesy too!”

William was a little shell-shocked to hear Severin’s declaration and immediately reminded him. “Hey, you can’t just spout out random stuff like that. The war gods will get angry if this reaches their eyes, and it’ll be even more troublesome if other people make a mountain out of a molehill!”

“Yeah, Brother-in-Law! You need to restrain yourself a little when you’re bragging!” Megan rolled her eyes at Severin.

After all, they all shared the opinion that it was already a big honor for a war chief to grace Severin’s wedding to Diane.

“You need to watch your words, Severin!” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin too. She wore a white wedding dress, and the faint smile on her face made her look so much more charming than ever before.

Severin looked at Diane and could not resist a smile. “The ring and necklace look fantastic on you, honey!”

Diane touched the ring on Severin’s hand and said, “I told you to get a new ring, but you insisted that this one is fine. It has character, but don’t you think it’s a little unsuited for the occasion?” She did not know that Severin was wearing the Dracodeus Ring, which had tremendous significance to him.

Severin merely said with a smile, “I don’t need a new ring. This one has a big enough gemstone too. See?” “Mister Zachariah and Miss Sheila have arrived to congratulate the happy couple and wish them at blessed marriage. They are hereby presenting a jade sculpture, a pair of gold hairpins, a set of golden. bowls, and a monetary gift of eleven million dollars. The butler announced from the entrance of the platform.

The Ballards had arrived to present their gift.

Catherine smiled and brought George along with the others to greet them. “Mister Zachariah, we’re happy to have you here. Welcome…”

Stanley, on the other hand, was a little unhappy as he walked over and said to Severin, “Don’t you think you’re going a bit overboard to have all your guests surrender their cell phones and any camera- functioned devices or camera-related equipment at the hotel lobby? What are you playing at? Aren’t you afraid of angering the Ballards?”

Severin smiled slightly and said, “Hehe, I don’t have a choice. I wouldn’t want today’s events to be broadcast live, and I think it’d be much better to keep a low profile!” He was well aware that allowing everyone to bring their cell phones would cause too quick of a stir, and since many have already seen him. in person, he would much prefer to keep as low a profile as possible.

Furthermore, it would already be a sensation if the four great war gods came, and his move to ban cell phones from his wedding would help in ensuring that not a lot of people would know him too soon. They might know his name but they would not know his appearance immediately.

Stanley was so infuriated that he nearly fainted. “Didn’t you say you wanted to make this a sensation throughout the entire south county? Now you’re contradicting yourself by saying that you want to keep a low profile? What are you trying to achieve, exactly?”

Life After Prison Chapter 697-“Yeah, Severin! You might just make them unhappy with such a rule. How could you stop everyone from bringing their cell phones? Those from first-tier upper-class families and Brookbourn Mansion would feel as though you don’t respect them,” Judith remarked, feeling that her son’s decision was a little too sudden.

A young woman from the Shanahans side also added, “Yeah! How are you going to send waves throughout the entire south county if you don’t let them bring their phones in? You just know how to brag and exaggerate!”

Severin laughed. “I want the word of mouth from after the wedding ends to send waves throughout the south county. I have no interest to let the wedding be broadcast live. Do you understand?”

Stanley could not stand to hear that and said to Severin, “I don’t mind you enforcing that rule on other people, but you could’ve let me bring my cell phone, you know. I’m an internet celebrity now, and I have over ten million fans. I’ve already told them that I’ll be broadcasting your wedding live today, so they could see how beautiful Diane is with The One And Only. Why is it that even I can’t be allowed to bring my cell phone in?”

As soon as Severin heard that, he immediately said to Stanley in a serious tone, “Hehe, your status as an internet celebrity is even more reason for me not to let you bring your cell phone in.”

“I’m sure you must have your reasons for this, Mister Severin?” Zachariah asked with a hearty laugh after coming up to Severin with his daughter and his brother’s family.

“My handsome Severin! You look even more handsome today! You’re so captivating!” Sheila stared at Severin like a little fangirl.

Severin was a little lost for words, but he later said to Sheila, “This isn’t the occasion for you to say such things, Miss Sheila. I’m getting married to Diane today. It is a very solemn day!”

Sheila could not help but pout and say, “But I also want to get married to you like this…”

Severin nearly collapsed at her bold statement..

Several rich young men who were passing by immediately shot Severin an envious glance. After all, few women had Sheila’s beauty, and she was also the daughter of Brookbourn Mansion’s Zachariah. They all felt that Severin was an idiot for not agreeing right away.

Severin looked at Zachariah and then said to him, “Thank you for your cooperation, Mister Zachariah. This rule is being enforced mainly because there will be several important guests in attendance today. They are all big shots who have made it clear that they don’t want to be captured in a photo or in a live stream.. That’s the reason I enforced the rule that no one should be allowed to bring in their cell phones.”

At that moment, the four war gods probably had no idea that Severin was using them as an excuse.

“Is that so? Well, I do look forward to seeing who these big shots are!” Zachariah was overjoyed when he heard that because he knew that Severin would never enforce that rule on a whim. However, he surmised that the big shot Severin was talking about was probably Valerian, and no one else aside from that.

When Felicia and several other members of the Shanahans heard that, they secretly rejoiced because they believed that Valerian had already agreed to attend the wedding and Severin simply had not revealed it to anyone yet.

“Mister Larry of Draco Hall and his second-in-command, Mister Blade, have arrived to offer their well wishes to the happy couple.”

Larry and Blade had arrived too.

“Mister Larry! Here’s your seat! We’re so glad you could come!” Catherine said happily. After all, Draco Hall was a big force in Brookbourn whom few would dare to offend, so it was only natural for her to feel proud to have them around.

Life After Prison Chapter 698-Forces like Draco Hall seldom interact with those upper-class families and generally would not attend any of the weddings. Therefore, having Draco Hall as a guest was something that the Shanahans were very proud of.

“Gracie Swiften from Brookton’s Equus Hall has arrived with the hall’s elders to offer their best wishes to the happy couple.” Another announcement was made, and in came Gracie with her men and some gifts.

“Equus Hall!” Larry’s eyes lit up instantly when he heard that, as he did not expect them to come and attend the wedding of their own accord.

Severin smiled at Larry. “I forgot to tell you this, but it’s not just Equus Hall that will be coming. I managed to locate two other halls too!”

Larry became even more excited when he heard that. After all, each hall was sister to the other, and nothing could be better than for their supreme leader to locate the other halls.

“Brookton’s Equus Hall?” Catherine was stupefied, and she could only stare blankly as if confused over the entire situation.

Severin immediately reminded her. “Aren’t you going to go over there and greet them?”

“I will! They’re all our guests!” she went there with George and several other family members. The gifts that Equus Hall prepared were quite expensive too, which surprised everyone.

“Rachel Ledford, the head of South Link City’s Serpent Hall, has arrived with the hall’s elders to celebrate this joyous day,” came another announcement.

Catherine and much of Brookbourn’s other forces were surprised that even Serpent Hall would be in attendance.

“What’s going on? Isn’t Brookton and South Link City far from Brookbourn? How did the people from these two halls come to know about today’s wedding? Are they acquainted with the Shanahans? Is that why they’re attending the wedding?” a wealthy businessman asked in a daze.

Another businessman said, “No, that’s not it. I’ve never heard rumors about the Shanahans being familiar with such a force. I bet you on my last dollar that they’re here for Severin. I wonder what sort of person he is and how he could get to know the bosses of all these forces!”

The wealthy businessman said, “If this is the case, then we must try to appease Severin and the Shanahans. They’re not the kind of people we can afford to offend, and it’s shocking that they’d know the leader of such a strong force from South Link City. It’s the very large city where even South County Mansion is located!”

“Haha, this is great! Even Equus Hall and Serpent Hall are here!” Blade of Draco Hall laughed at one side before turning to Larry, “We should sit at the same table with their hall masters and have a few drinks. while we are at it!”

Larry nodded with a smile. “Of course! We must! I can’t believe Mister Severin would have found them!”

“Mick Wheatly, leader of Riverson’s Mus Hall, has brought his elders here to congratulate the happy couple and wish them a marriage blessed with many children the announcement came to mark the arrival of Mick from Mus Hall, along with Candy, Lauren, and others.

“Another hall? The crowd was shocked yet again, and they were left in awe of the Shanahans’ network.

Life After Prison Chapter 699-The sudden arrival of several forces that the Shanahans have never heard of before made them all feel incredibly excited.

“You just want me to suffer, don’t you, Severin? Stopping me from doing a live stream in this sort of situation is the utmost torture for an internet celebrity like me!”

Stanley felt tormented as he stood nearly. In his opinion, his popularity and fan count would increase by the bucketload if he were to stream the wedding reception live.

“War chiefs Norbert Scholl, Valerian Sutcliffe, and Lourie Chapman have arrived to congratulate the happy couple.”

Even more unexpected was the arrival of three war chiefs who were there to attend the wedding.

“You’ve got to be kidding me! It’s crazy enough that Mister Valerian is here. How is it that the two other war chiefs are here too?” A lot of people were shocked by what they saw.

“They probably don’t want to be photographed or filmed, which is why Severin forbade anyone from bringing our cell phones in. I can’t believe that these three war chiefs came together!”

All of a sudden, some people had the realization as to why Severin refused to let them bring their cell phones in.

“The other two war chiefs must be Mister Valerian’s friends. I can’t believe they came with him!” Sheila surmised with a frown.

Zachariah then pulled Sheila to one side. “Severin is incredible. He managed to invite three war chiefs to his wedding, and news of their presence would almost certainly begin to spread like wildfire. Those who hear about it will be shocked for sure, and this will only bring pride to the Shanahans!”

Sheila nodded. “Yeah. My handsome Severin is the most incredible man ever. I didn’t expect so many war chiefs to attend his wedding.”

Zachariah thought about it for a moment. “How’s your relationship with Severin so far? Have you made any progress? It’s about time you up your game because he’s the best candidate to be my son-in-law! Have you kissed him yet?”

Sheila was speechless for a moment as she looked at her father’s eager expression. With a blush, she answered, “I thought you said you didn’t like him because he wasn’t good enough? Why are you suddenly asking me to date him?”

“I was blind to his greatness back then, and I didn’t realize that he was a lion among men!” Zachariah then returned to his previous question. “You haven’t answered my question. How far have you progressed with him?”

Sheila’s cheeks became even redder, and she lowered her head shyly as he said, “I wouldn’t say that I kissed him. But I wouldn’t say I never kissed him either, since it did happen once!” As Sheila spoke, she could not help but purse her red lips as a wave of joy gushed into her heart.

Zachariah was confused, and the corners of his lips twitched a couple of times as he asked, “I cannot make head or tail of what you’re trying to say. Have you or have you not kissed him before?”

Sheila immediately glared at Zachariah. “Hush, Dad! Can’t you keep your voice down? It’d be so inappropriate for people to hear us!” She then toned her voice down and said softly, “I kissed him, but I kissed him secretly while he wasn’t paying attention. But he didn’t kiss me back though, so it doesn’t count!”

Zachariah was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, “Didn’t he react at all? You don’t look that bad, and there are probably aren’t a lot of people in Brookbourn who are prettier than you. Why wasn’t he happy when you kissed him?”

Sheila pouted and explained. “He told me he has a wife, and that I’m just a little kid. He then ignored me, like he always did. I didn’t pester him the past few days since I figured he was going to be busy with the wedding preparations!”

Life After Prison Chapter 700-Zachariah frowned in deep thought and stroked his chin before saying, “You need to work harder, Sheila. The leaders of both Equus Hall and Serpent Hall are beautiful women, if you don’t work hard, they might just beat you to Severin, and it would be such a huge loss if you were one step behind them when Severin finally decides that he wants a second wife.”

Sheila nodded thoughtfully and thought over her father’s words before suddenly feeling a huge loss of confidence. “Why do I feel like all my efforts will still be useless even if I try hard? He doesn’t seem to like me at all, and he’s becoming even more amazing as the days go by! I feel like I’m not worth being with him because I might just be a burden!”

“What are you talking about, silly? What makes you unworthy of him when you’re so beautiful? All a woman needs to do is look good!”

Zachariah cheered his daughter up immediately.

However, Sheila pouted and pointed out. “Look at those two hall masters over there. They’re beautiful, and they’re the leaders of their hall. You can bet that their attainment is very high, which means they won’t be a burden on my handsome Severin. I’m just an ordinary person who doesn’t have any attainment whatsoever, and I feel like I’m not good enough for Severin!”

“What nonsense are you babbling about? Isn’t Diane an ordinary person too? She doesn’t have any attainment either, does she?” Zachariah retorted. He then encouraged her, “That is why you must work hard. Looks are most important to a man. They don’t usually fuss all that much over other stuff!”

At that moment, Mason and Horus showed up at the hotel lobby with the war chiefs Stuart and Zalton. Behind them were several of the Neelys’ elders. Horus could not help but sneer when he looked at the hotel. “Hehe, Severin’s having a lot of fun right now, but he’s going to make a fool of himself later!”

“Do you have an invitation? Please leave your cell phone with us for safekeeping.” Two of the Shanahans’ bodyguards stepped forward and asked as soon as they arrived at the gate.

Horus smiled coldly and said, “We don’t need an invitation. We came here uninvited!”

“We’re from South County Mansion,” Mason added. “and these two are war chiefs. Why would we need an invitation?”

The bodyguards froze for a moment. Severin had instructed them to let Mason’s men in if the latter came. At that moment, the bodyguard smiled. “Right this way, sir. Our master earlier told us to let you in if you showed up!”

Horus, Mason, and the others were stunned to hear that.

“How did Severin know that we’d be coming here today?” Horus, who was feeling a little flustered, asked his father.

“Does he know that we won’t give in to him?” Mason wondered aloud.

Then, the Sanchezes’ Carlito and Sergio, along with Dietmar-the head of the And Only Jewelry Corporation-arrived with Phoebe.

“Mister Carlito? Why are you here?” Mason asked with a gloomy face after seeing Carlito show up there.

“Oh, Mister Severin gave us an invitation, so we decided to come!” Carlito smiled slightly. He had secretly found out that Valerian had bought flight tickets to Brookbourn, so he discussed it with his father and decided to attend the wedding.
