Ch. 721..730
Life After Prison Chapter 721-“H-H-How dare you hit me?” The saleswoman covered her face in disbelief. She was one of the more senior employees there, and she got to know many rich people after successfully selling many villas to them. Perhaps the frequency with which she dealt with those rich people clouded her eyes and made her feel as though she was also a rich woman.
The aggrieved expression on the sales woman’s face prompted Surina to come forth and say, “Hehe, you’re spineless! Is bullying a salesperson all you can do?” After saying that, she turned to the saleswoman and comforted. “Don’t worry, Jill. I’ll have my people teach him a good lesson later. He’ll have to kneel and apologize to me, my sister, and slap himself ten times before I’ll let him leave!” When the saleswoman heard that, she was overjoyed and said immediately, “Thank you, Miss Surina!” Surina smiled again. “We’ve decided to buy two fully-furnished and renovated villas, and we’ll be making the full payment right away!” She made a point to raise her voice and emphasize the word ‘full payment, as if she was afraid that Severin would not be able to hear her.
“You want me to kneel, apologize, and slap myself ten times? You’re far too deep in la-la-land, woman!” Severin did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Ma’am, it doesn’t look like he’s going to learn his lesson until he gets a beating.
Let me do the honors!” said a tan-skinned guy with bulging muscles all over his body. He was tall, and he had a very fleshy face.
After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists and said, “You’ve refused to kneel and apologize, so don’t blame me for beating you up!” The saleswoman on Severin’s side was terrified and hurriedly scuttled to one side. In her mind, her efforts to secure a sale from them would probably all be in vain since the jewelry worn by the woman was a fake. Worse still, that couple even offended someone who should not be offended!
Within seconds, however, Severin kicked the big man to the ground, and he hugged his leg in a fetal position while crying non-stop.
“Arghhh!” Veins were bulging out from his forehead, and judging from how painful he seemed to be, his calf had likely been broken.
“Attack him all at once! Looks like he’s not so spineless after all. I didn’t think that even Barak wouldn’t be a match for him!” Barak had an attainment that reached level five profound master, so when she saw him collapse to the ground, she immediately ordered the other men to attack Severin because she could tell that he might. have some skill.
Everyone immediately surrounded Severin upon receiving her instruction, but as soon as they rushed up to him, they were all sent flying the next second. In a flash, all of them ended up writhing on the ground, and though their attainment was a rather decent level of profound master, they were no match for Severin at all.
“No, this is impossible!” Surina was so frightened that beads of cold sweat began to form on her forehead. The bodyguards she brought with her were no pushovers, and they were all high-quality fighters. Alas, they were still no match for Severin even though they attacked him all at once.
Life After Prison Chapter 722-“Hehe, are you still going to make me kneel and apologize to you, old hag?” Severin chuckled and took a step forward.
“D-d-d-d-don’t come n-n-near me!” The two sisters Surina and Suga immediately huddled together and backed away in fright..
“L… I’m the mistress of Namvail Mansion’s mayor! You’ll be killed if you hit me! I’m warning you: we have a lot of strong people in our household! My husband and his people are nearby too!” Surina’s face soured, and she tried to use her identity to threaten Severin once more.
Severin merely smiled coldly upon hearing that and was ready to come forward and scare the other person again. However, he did not expect Diane to grab him from behind and persuaded him. “Forget about it, honey. There’s no point getting yourself worked up over this sort of woman. We came here to view the units, and our parents are waiting to move in after we’ve decided on the purchase! We’re pressed for time!”
When Severin heard that, he smiled at Diane and said, “Okay. Like I’ve promised before, I’ll listen to my wife.”
Severin then turned to Surina again and warned. “Remember, the only reason I held my hand was because my wife interceded for you. You’d better not be so arrogant next time. And also, just because you can’t afford something doesn’t mean other people can’t afford it too. Have I made myself clear?”
Kelly did not expect the situation to change so quickly, and she immediately stepped forward to ask, “Sir, are you still going ahead with your purchase?”
Severin smiled and said, “Of course! We have one request, though. Since we’re going to buy a lot of units, I’d like to ask that a wall be constructed around all the units we bought. After all, our extended family will all be staying together!”
“Umm…” Kelly frowned suddenly. That was her first time encountering such a situation, and after thinking. for a moment, she said, “I’m afraid I’d have to ask my superiors for further instruction. Oh, didn’t you want to see an actual unit? How about I bring you and your wife to have a look? This purchase involves a lot of money, so it’s best for you to view the unit before making a decision. I wouldn’t want you to be dissatisfied with your purchase!”
Severin was pleased to receive Kelly’s reminder and nodded. “Sure. Let’s go and see the actual unit then!”
The saleswoman who was slapped by Severin earlier let out a soft giggle and said, “You’re such an idiot, Kelly. The woman’s necklace and ring are both fake, so how do you expect him to buy so many units? It’s a waste of your time to bring them to view the units because they’ll only end up making excuses not to buy! He’s just trying to act tough in front of Miss Surina!”
Severin shot the saleswoman a cold look, prompting her to step back in fright and close her mouth.
Surina believed that Severin did not dare to hit her at all, and the only reason he made those remarks. earlier was because he and his wife were synchronizing with each other to try and get themselves out of what could be an awkward situation. Her courage doubled in an instant, and she said with a sneer, “How many units are you going to buy that you’d need a wall to surround them? Haha, wouldn’t it be a joke if you buy only one villa and have the wall constructed around it? Hahaha! How much do you plan to borrow from the bank? Or are you only going to pay a minimum down payment?”
Severin ignored her and said to Kelly, “Come on, Kelly, Let’s go and view the unit. By my current estimate, I’ll be buying twenty villas!”
“TWENTY?!” Kelly’s jaw dropped when she heard that and she unwittingly raised her voice.
Several potential buyers who were in the salesroom glanced over in surprise when they heard that. The cost of twenty villas was equivalent to seventy-six million, and they all wondered if Severin was joking!
“Twenty, you say? Are you genuinely interested in getting twenty villas?” At that moment, the the sales department immediately walked over with a smile after hearing what Severin said.
Life After Prison Chapter 723-The manager was a woman who looked smart and capable. She had an excellent figure, and she wore professional business attire with black stockings that lent her a mysterious yet sexy air.
“Miss Louise! Mister Severin here wants to buy twenty units, and he requests that a wall be built all around the twenty units because he’ll be living there with his extended family!” Kelly said nervously when she saw Louise approaching.
Louise nodded immediately, took out her business card, and handed it respectfully to Severin. “I’m Louise, the sales manager. You’re a huge client, so we can make arrangements to construct a wall around. the twenty villas you’ve purchased. The cost will also be two percent cheaper!” Then she seemed a little. excited as she offered, “I think I should bring you to view some of the actual units!”
Severin noticed a frown from Kelly, who was standing beside them, and immediately understood what was happening. Louise seemed eager to take the credit for the sale so the commission would be hers when the purchase was finalized. In response, he merely smiled and said, “You don’t have to trouble yourself, Miss Louise, Kelly here has been helping us since we came, so we might as well just let her pick up from where we left off and have her accompany us to do the viewing. Shall we, Kelly?”
“Ah, sure! Right this way, Mister Severin!” Kelly was stunned for a moment and nearly forgot how to react, but she soon came to her senses and hurriedly led the way.
She was also a little nervous because of how good-looking Louise was. The latter even invited some male clients out to do some other ‘business’ to ensure that the deal could be closed. As a result, Louise’s commission in the company was much higher than most. Unfortunately, those potential buyers who had been snatched away by her did not dare to speak up and could only rue their bad luck. At that moment, Kelly thought that her potential buyer would also be robbed by Louise, but Severin somehow just ignored Louise outright.
Louise froze on the spot as she looked at the three people walking out of the entrance. She believed herself to be in good shape, and she even blinked at Severin a few times to hint at him. Any quick- witted person would have interpreted that as ‘pick me’. Moreover, many men wanted to have a good- looking saleswoman by their side when they were viewing a unit. Alas, she had failed.
“Don’t feel discouraged, Miss Louise. He’s just blowing his own horn. Don’t you think it’s weird that we haven’t heard of someone like him when we already know so many rich people in South Link City?” Jill from earlier stepped forward and said with a sneer, “I dare say that the couple will probably cook up some reason to leave, and maybe Kelly will end up having to come back here all by herself!”
“That’s right! The jewelry that she’s wearing is The One And Only, and it has to be a counterfeit! It wasn’t for sale even when my husband wanted to buy it for me, so how could that woman be able to afford the real deal?” Surina then folded her hands over her chest and added, “But I must say, the degree of forgery is very high. It looks so good that I almost mistook it for the real thing!”
After saying that, Surina looked at her bodyguards-who had finally managed to get up-and lashed out at them, “Go to get yourself treated at the hospital! The next time I go out, I’ll bring some stronger men to protect me. You’re all a bunch of useless trash!”
Life After Prison Chapter 724-The bodyguards were speechless for a moment. Their attainment was higher than most, and they had already reached level seven profound master. Such attainment was considered to be quite high in a place like South Link City, but Surina had the gall to refer to them as trash.
“Phew, thanks for that, Mister Severin. I should treat you to a meal some other time. If it weren’t for you, Miss Louise would have poached you from me already!” Kelly could not help but remark with a smile as she brought Severin and Diane to the entrance of the villa. “I probably wouldn’t have anything to worry about for the rest of my life if you and your wife bought twenty units. Being able to sell two or three properties per day is already an achievement, and let’s not even get started on landed real estate like these!”
Severin smiled and said, “We chose you because we could tell that you’re an honest saleswoman who doesn’t have any malicious intent. We really appreciate your offer to treat us to a meal, but there’s no need for that at all.”
After casually looking around, Severin asked Diane, “What do you think? Are you satisfied?”
Diane smiled. “I am. The architecture is impressive, while both the furnishings within the house and the greenery outside look good too!”
Severin nodded in satisfaction too. “Then it’s settled! Let’s go and sign the contract! By the way, you can send the location of this place and ask our parents to come over when they can! The contract signing won’t take too long, anyway!”
“Sure thing,” Diane said with a smile. “Since we’re buying them for the Shanahans, should I just use the company’s funds to pay for it?”
Severin said indifferently, “I don’t see why not. It’s not a big sum to the Shanahans anyway, and I’m sure you can tell that everyone-including your grandmother-has handed full authority to us.”
Diane nodded. “You have a point. In that case, we’ll go with that!”
Kelly was in deep thought for a moment before remarking, “You’re buying a lot of villas, Mister Severin, not that I’m complaining of course since I’m more than happy to get the commission. But I still think that twenty units are a bit too much. Even if a lot of your relatives moved in, I don’t think you’d be able to live in all the units. There are so many rooms in each unit, and there’s enough on each floor to house several people at once!”
Severin smiled and said, “If it’s just the Shanahans, then there aren’t a lot of people, but Lillie and the girls have been with us for so long and worked really hard to ensure our safety, so I believe they deserve to have a place all to themselves! Some of the bodyguards with much higher attainment can also be allowed to live in the villa next time!”
When Kelly heard that, she could not help her surprise as she said, “You’re such a kind man, Mister Severin. I didn’t think you’d be so considerate toward your servants. I know of many rich people who live in villas and build small houses for their servants, but those houses tend to be very uncomfortable to live.
in!”
“Haha! It’s only right!” Severin laughed and was nonchalant over Kelly’s remark.
Kelly could not help but glance secretly at the necklace and ring that Diane was wearing. If Severin and Diane could spend seventy-six million on twenty villas without batting an eye, then it’s almost certain that what Diane wore was the genuine The One And Only. Kelly could not help but wonder who they truly were and how they could be so rich!
“They’ve returned?” Surina and Suga had not left yet, and they were curious to see if Severin and Diane would conjure up some kind of excuse to leave. However, they were stunned to see the three of them return together.
Severin and Diane soon signed the contract and paid the full amount.
“Mister Severin, Miss Diane, take care!” Kelly saw the two of them off at the door. She felt like she was living in a dream as she looked at the couple from behind. After all, the commission she would receive from the sale ranged in the hundreds of thousands, and it was simply an unimaginable amount for an ordinary saleswoman like her.
Life After Prison Chapter 725-“Surina, he looks like some rich guy from one of South Link City’s upper-class families. He couldn’t have spent more than seventy-six million dollars to buy twenty units if he was just an ordinary businessman! We’re talking about an astronomical sum here!” After some time had passed, Suga finally said to the red- clad Surina.
In response, Surina chuckled. “Hehe, I’ll remember what happened today. He’d better not show his face in front of me in the future, or else I’ll make sure he knows what true regret is!”
Severin and Diane drove up to the villa and parked their car there. Less than ten minutes later, a fleet of cars drove up too, and in each vehicle were the Shanahans, whom Rachel sent over.
“How many units did you buy, Severin? I heard that South Link City is a big city, and the houses here cost a fortune! These villas are probably very expensive, right?” Judith could not help but ask Severin as she marveled at the luxurious villas before her.
Severin smiled and said, “You can stay here with peace of mind, Mom. We will helm the county mansion in the future, and this money will just be peanuts to us! You should go ahead and choose which unit you. prefer to stay in!”
Then, Severin turned to Lillie and said, “You and the girls are a close-knit group, so you can all stay together in one villa!”
Lillie was delighted to hear that and said with a smile, “Don’t mind if we do, then!”
Abigail was grinning from ear to ear too. “You’re too kind to us! We’re just your bodyguards, so we’re really honored that you made arrangements to let us all stay in one villa!”
However, Severin laughed and said, “This, along with the next nineteen units, are all ours. If you don’t know which are the ones we bought, then you can choose one that is closer to the one here. There will be people coming over tomorrow to build a wall that would surround all twenty units.”
The Shanahans were all incredibly happy and immediately started to choose their preferred unit to stay in. Some of them went for a walk around the area just to see which ones were more to their liking.
At that moment, Selene ran over and tugged on Severin’s trousers legs. “Dad! Dad! The air here is so fresh, and there are all these little green dots floating in the air!”
Severin was overjoyed to hear that. He immediately carried Selene and asked, “You can see those tiny green particles in the air?”
Selene nodded earnestly. “Yeah! There are many more of them here than in our old house!”
Severin placed his hand on Selene’s head, closed his eyes, and ruminate for a while. Several seconds. later, he opened his eyes and said with a smile, “This is splendid news!”
He then put Selene on the ground and said excitedly to Diane, “Good news, honey! Selene has an exceptionally good talent for attainment, and she can see the spiritual energy all around us. You should explain to her the basics of attainment when you’re free, I’ll also give Lillie and the girls a heads-up so they can teach Selene how to train! Their training techniques are perfect for girls!”
“Really?! That’s good to hear!” Diane was a little excited too. She smiled and commented casually, “Hehe, looks like Selene inherited your traits for attainment, and I’m glad she didn’t inherit my terrible talent. If you hadn’t helped me, I don’t think I’d ever get the chance to train and become a practitioner in this lifetime!”
Severin comforted her: “Don’t worry. There’s still time once you change your talent a year from now. You’re still young, so you have many years ahead of you!”
Diane nodded and reminded him. “By the way, Grandma said earlier that Rachel already made reservations at a hotel for dinner tonight. I remember Rachel mentioning that it was her treat.”
Severin looked at the time. “Oh, yes! It’s still early though, so why don’t we head out and get some toiletries? Even though the furniture and appliances are pretty complete already, stuff like toothpaste or toothbrushes aren’t provided!”
Life After Prison Chapter 726-“Sure. Let’s go do some shopping. I’m excited to have a look at the malls in this bustling city!” Diane smiled.
“You’ll become the wife of the governor in three days. People will have known who you are by then, so you probably won’t meet too many impudent individuals when you go out in the future!” Severin said after some thought.
“I don’t care much for an undeserved reputation like that. My only hope is that our family will be safe and sound.” Diane smiled and said, “But I do hope that grandma, my parents, and the Shanahans will be as strong as possible.”
Severin could not help but say to Diane, “Being safe isn’t easy in this world unless you’re already strong. enough. If you accidentally provoked someone you can’t afford to offend, then you’ll become nothing more than a little lamb who can only be at someone else’s mercy. Our priority right now is to make sure you get stronger!”
The two of them chatted for a while before going out to do some shopping. Soon, the two of them came to a mall and bought plenty of stuff, including some red wine. As they were on the way back to the car, they noticed that there was a bit of a commotion up ahead. Severin glanced over and saw a crowd that had seemingly gathered to watch something.
“Sigh, it’s such a shame that the once-dignified scion of the Neelys would be forced to kneel and lick someone else’s shoes!” someone lamented.
Severin frowned. ‘Scion of the Neelys? Didn’t I already have Horus killed? Was that person referring to Yoel?’
Yoel had left a good impression on him for being the kind of person who could distinguish right from wrong. Even if the Neelys had fallen from grace and their grand-elder was dead, Yoel would still have the second elder, third elder, and several other elders. It could not have been possible for Yoel to be bullied. that badly. From the looks of it, there were quite a few powerful forces in South Link City, because only those who were more powerful than the Neelys would dare to bully Yoel.
After a bit of thought, Severin decided to squeeze over and see what was all the ruckus about.
“Hehe, your family isn’t the county mansion anymore, Yoel. I bet a lot of people won’t cooperate with your family anymore, and your family is no longer as strong as ours after the death of the grand-elder. Let’s see if you still have the guts to take Delilah from me!” a fat man sniggered as he said to Yoel who was kneeling on the ground.
Yoel looked up at the man and said, “Don’t cross the line, Shane. Delilah has the right to choose whoever she likes. You can’t blame me if she doesn’t like you. Blame yourself for not being good enough!”
“F*CK YOU!” Shane kicked Yoel’s chest and stepped on him. “If you die, if you decide not to date her, if you ignore her, or if you scold her and stop being together with her, then she will choose me in the end!”
Yoel stood up and gained a sudden burst of courage as he glared at Shane and said, “I bet you’re only picking on me because I didn’t bring my men out with me today. In that case, I might as well warn you not to push me around even though my family is significantly weaker than before. If you piss me off, the second elder and the others will go all out against you, and your family will end up suffering too!”
Life After Prison Chapter 727-Shane was taken aback by Yoel’s remark, but he immediately started laughing again. “Your grand-elder is dead, and there aren’t any level six warrior kings among your ranks anymore. I’ll be honest with you, my family-the Watts-might have been afraid of you in the past, but now there is an elder in our family who has gotten a breakthrough to level six warrior king. We also have a level five warrior king with us! Compare that to Neelys, whose strongest person is only a level five warrior king. What makes you think we’ll be afraid of you?”
He then paused for a breather before continuing, “Besides, those elders only followed your family. because your father was the governor. I heard that your father died in Brookbourn, so how many elders do you think will risk themselves to fight against the Watts, especially when there is zero chance of you. people winning!”
Sure enough, Yoel’s expression soured instantly when he heard that. He used to think that Shane would not dare to offend him even if he was out alone because he was still from South County Mansion even though Mason might not place much importance to him.
When he went out without a bodyguard, Shane deliberately caused trouble for him and humiliated him just because his father was already dead. He had experienced how it felt to fall from grace and be bullied like a dog.
“If you’ve got what it takes, then let me give the elders a call and see if they’ll come over!” Yoel gritted his teeth and took out his cell phone to make a call.
When Shane saw that Yoel was about to phone the elders, he immediately stepped forward and snatched the cell phone away. “Hahaha! Do you think I’m stupid? This is a rare chance for me to deal with you, so why would I let you call your elders over when I haven’t had enough fun with you yet?”
“B*stard!” Yoel glared at Shane with horrifyingly bloodshot eyes.
“Well, well. I didn’t think you’d be bold enough to curse at me. Even though I’m not bold enough to kill you, I can still beat you until half-dead. As long as you’re alive, I’m pretty sure your elders wouldn’t dare to come for me!” Shane had a smug expression on his face, knowing full well that Yoel’s death would spur the elders into going all out against the Watts. Though they might end up securing victory in the end, there would probably be casualties or injuries.
However, if all he did was beat Yoel up, then the elders would not dare to attack them since the Watts were much stronger than the Neelys.
Yoel’s face was extremely sour after Shane snatched his cell phone away, and he felt as though he might not be able to escape a severe beating that day.
“Get him, guys!” Shane, on the other hand, had a very smug expression. He wanted to make life difficult for Yoel for ages ago, but he did not have the chance to do so. However, he became extremely excited after hearing that the Neelys had been destroyed and a new person would lead South County Mansion.
“These people are going overboard! They’re bullying someone who isn’t even on the level of a grandmaster!” Severin could not stand it anymore and squeezed through the crowd to shield Yoel.
When Yoel saw that it was Severin, he had a slightly surprised look in his eyes because he did not expect Severin to show up there at that time, much less be willing to help him. After all, he was a Neely, and both his father as well as his brother had plotted to kill Severin some time ago. He already felt lucky enough that Severin neither killed him nor held any grudges against him.
“Thank you, Mister Severin!” Yoel smiled bitterly. He knew that Severin was very powerful, and he would be in safe hands if Severin came to his aid.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed, kid? Who are you to interfere with the Watts’ affairs?” Shane shot Severin a vicious look and threatened him. “Think twice. You’ll be unlucky if you get beaten up by my men later!”
“Hehe, pardon me, but I know Yoel, so I’ll take care of you people on his behalf today!” Severin chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly.
“F*cking idiot. Getting tired of life, are you? Kill this guy first, fellas! I hate these nosy, meddling people the most!” Shane gritted his teeth angrily and pointed at Severin.
Life After Prison Chapter 728-A dozen of Shane’s bodyguards rushed up immediately, but because they were all grandmasters or profound masters, they were no match for someone like Severin and were defeated in less than ten seconds. Every single one of them writhed on the ground and began to groan in agony.
“My family is a second-tier family, and we have many more strong fighters. How dare you offend me? I’ll remember what you did today, so you better not show yourself in front of me ever again. If you do, I’ll bring my family’s strongest men over to kill you!” Shane did not expect Severin to be so strong, and though he gave Severin a warning, he was so frightened that he retreated backward several steps.
“A second-tier family?” Severin’s mind went blank for a moment. South Link City was truly a whole other ecosystem. Even a second-tier family would be so strong that he initially mistook them to be a first-tier family! It came as a truly huge surprise.
Upon seeing Severin’s surprised expression, Shane thought that Severin was afraid and immediately. regained his arrogance again. He smiled at Severin and said, “So, what do you think? If you’re scared, then you should kneel and apologize to us! I might even spare your sorry life if you put on a good attitude with
me.”
As soon as Shane ended his sentence, Severin rushed forward in a flash and gave the man a tight slap..
“Ah!” Shane was stunned, and a big palm print appeared on his face that made his cheek look even more. swollen than before.
He covered his face, looked at Severin viciously, and said, “You’re crazy! How dare you hit me? Didn’t you hear what I just told you? I’m from a second-tier family!”
“I slapped you because you’re a fool!” Severin glared at him and snatched the cell phone from his hand.” You’re the one who should kneel and apologize, or else I’ll break all your limbs!”
“You…” Shane’s eyes opened wide and he could not believe what he just heard.
Severin slapped Shane again and asked, “Do I need to repeat myself?”
“Are you sure? So be it then. I’ll kneel and apologize to you, but mark my words, this doesn’t end here.” Shane glared at Severin and could only grit his teeth before kneeling.
“Is that the kind of attitude you should have when you’re apologizing?” Severin looked at the other party’s angry expression and raised his palm again.
Shane was absolutely terrified at that moment and covered his face in a hurry. He then lowered his head. and said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I know I was wrong, and I promise I won’t do it again!”
“Scram!” Severin could not be bothered to entertain the guy’s nonsense and dismissed him unceremoniously.
Shane was frightened and left immediately with his bodyguards. However, Severin’s memory was deeply. etched in his memory, for that was the first time he suffered such humiliation in all his years alive.
Life After Prison Chapter 729-Severin took Yoel’s cell phone, walked up to the young man, and handed over the cell phone. “You should bring some men with you whenever you go out in the future, or else you’ll be the one who would have to suffer if you meet people like him and get beat up to a pulp!”
Yoel smiled wryly and could not help saying, “Thank you, but… don’t you hate me? My elder brother. treated you so terribly, and he even brought my father and some of our men to cause trouble at your wedding.”
Severin answered with a smile, “I treat others the way they treat me. You’re different from the two of them. Back then, you went to my house and warned me to leave because you were worried that I would be in danger. It shows that you have a good heart!”
you today!”
Yoel smiled wryly and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so strong. I have nothing but gratitude for “Hehe, no thanks necessary.” Severin chuckled, then walked up to Diane and left with her.
Yoel made a phone call, and some of the Neelys soon arrived to leave with him. When they went back, Judith, Maurice, and other important members of the Shanahans were already waiting at the entrance.
“What took you two so long? We even bought cars already! Hehe!” Megan giggled. “Rachel already sent us the location, so we were just waiting for the two of you to return before we head out for dinner together!”
Severin explained with a smile. “Oh, I had to take care of something on the way back, and I lost track of time a little. Sorry we were late! Let’s go then!”
Felicia grinned. “You know, I heard a lot of discussions when I was on the street earlier. Can you guess what they were talking about?”
Diane was eager to know the answer. “Tell us, Mom! What did they talk about that made you all giddy withi joy!”
Felicia said triumphantly, “They were discussing who would become the governor in another three days. After all, the usual practice was to choose one from the cities within the county, so they were all wondering which city mansion would end up being elected as the county mansion.”
“Really?” Diane asked. “No wonder you look so happy! I don’t think they would’ve guessed that the next governor is a name that they never even heard of!”
Felicia had a smug smile. “Of course! I told them that it would be my son-in-law, but none of them believed me. I even mentioned the name Severin Feuillet, but they said they’ve never heard of him before! I believe they’ll find out soon enough!”
Severin was a little speechless and he could not help but say to Felicia, “You need to keep a low profile in the future. This isn’t Brookbourn., and I just discovered today that some forces are so much stronger than a county mansion!”
“How is that possible?!” Felicia could not help her surprise when she heard that, but she soon recalled something and said with a smile, “We have nothing to be afraid of though. Even the war gods call you Master, and we have you to protect the Shanahans! These forces in South Link City wouldn’t dare to do anything to our family! If they do, they’ll only be digging their grave!”
“Diane felt that Felicia was getting a little too proud, so she could not help but remind her, “Severin is right, Mom. Even though we’re powerful right now, other people aren’t aware of that. Besides, Severin can’t be by your side all the time, right? What if you meet those who have nothing to lose and show no
hesitation. in killing you on the spot? That’s not worth all the trouble at all! Severin might be able to avenge you, but we can’t bring you back to life anymore.”
Felicia was given a fright after hearing Diane’s analysis. She had a flustered yet awkward smile on her face as she said, “You’re right. We should keep a low profile in the future, especially since many people don’t know that we’re from South County Mansion. And even if we are officially the county mansion, it’s impossible for everyone in South Link City to know about it right away. Keeping a low profile is always. best!”
They soon arrived at a hotel lobby.
“Whoa, why does this look fancier than the Bloomington Hotel?” Megan could not contain her excitement when she looked at the big hotel in front of her.
Life After Prison Chapter 730-“This hotel is much more magnificent than Bloomington. It’s a six-star hotel, and those who could afford to spend their money here are either famous influencers, celebrities, or wealthy businessmen!” Diane introduced.
“Hehe, then my tastebuds are in luck today!” Megan chuckled and licked her lips.
Everyone soon walked in and was led by the waiter into a huge VIP room. At that moment, Rachel and several elders of Serpent Hall were already waiting for them.
“I’m really sorry to keep you all waiting for so long!” Severin smiled and apologized to them..
“Don’t worry about it, Severin. You’re our boss from now on, so everyone here is at your disposal if you ever need our help!” Rachel said with a slight smile..
“You can serve the food now,” the grand-elder immediately told one of the waiters.
Back at Brookbourn Mansion, Sheila sat alone on a stool under a gazebo in the yard and had a slightly melancholic look in her eyes.
Zachariah walked over, sat by her side, then smiled at her as he said, “Severin and the Shanahans have already left Brookbourn. They’re going to South Link City!” He glanced at Sheila’s reaction after ending his sentence. Then, he asked softly, “Do you want to go after him?”
Sheila smiled wryly and shook her head. “No thanks. He’s too amazing. I finally realized that I’m not good enough for him. I was initially just curious about him, but when he rejected me, I must’ve felt a little resentful toward him and decided to keep chasing him. I couldn’t accept what was happening because I felt that I’m pretty enough! I was sure that he would not have been able to resist me!”
She then paused and sighed again. “In hindsight, he never felt anything for me at all, since he didn’t even bother to tell me when he left. What use is there to chase after him?”
“He has surpassed my expectations. Even the war gods call him master! I can’t believe I looked down on him in the past!” Zachariah smiled wryly and said, “I feel like I’ve let you down, Sheila. Perhaps he wasn’t so accepting of you because I looked down on him before and thought that he wasn’t good enough for you!”
Sheila pouted, rolled her eyes at Zachariah, and said, “What are you talking about, Dad? He told me lots of times he thinks I’m too young and too immature. It has nothing to do with what you told him! Maybe he just thinks of me as a friend!”
Zachariah smiled and said, “Well, even though he left without saying goodbye, the Shanahans have sold. some properties to us on the cheap, so you could say that he did take care of us. This shows that you have some place in his heart at least!”
“Really? Well, good on him for having a conscience!” Sheila finally had a smile of relief when she heard what her father said. After stretching her waist, she asked, “Hey, do you think maybe he and I aren’t fated to be with each other?”
