Ch. 951..960
Life After Prison Chapter 951-Satchel’s expression soured when he heard that. Walbert was simply too good at blowing another person’s horn, and his words only made Meldrick happier-as evident from the growing smile on his face. Meanwhile, Sofia remained expressionless, and Satchel could not tell what was going on in her mind.
Draven felt that it made no sense, so he immediately frowned and asked, “You’re kidding, right? The Crenshaws are one of Skystream City’s first-tier families, and there aren’t a lot of people who would dare to provoke you. How are you not able to avenge your woman? Is this person a level nine warrior king or something?”
“Yes, Mister Walbert! It seems like an exaggeration. How is that even possible?” The Jolls’ grand-elder said with a sneer, believing that Walbert had made it up on purpose because he was trying to stay there and get acquainted with the Stormy Moon Sect’s seniors.
Walbert smiled wryly and had a look of regret in his eyes. “Why would I lie to you about something like this? The guy who killed Lucy was the same person who abused her physically in the past. Lucy broke up with him long ago and escaped. I wanted to teach him a lesson for Lucy’s sake, but I didn’t expect him to kill her right before my very eyes!”
“Don’t you have a level eight warrior king in your family? Were you still unable to do anything to them? Is the
guy so brave as to go against you?” Satchel asked with a frown when he realized that Walbert did not seem to be lying.
Walbert then said, “We do have a level eight warrior king in our family. I had him and two other level seven warrior kings attack the guy simultaneously, but they were no match for him at all. The three
strongest people in our family were defeated, and his final words to me before he left were just too arrogant!”
“What did he say to you?” Meldrick was curious to know.
Walbert smiled wryly and said, “He said that I don’t need to go through a lot of trouble to find him if I want to get revenge on him. He told me to go to the province governor’s mansion the day after tomorrow to look for him because he’ll be attending the province governor’s sixtieth birthday. He also said to throw everything I’ve got at him, whether it is a strong backer or any tricks up my sleeve!”
“He’s crazy! How could he be so disrespectful to you.” The Jolls’ second elder remarked.
“He probably does have the attainment of a level nine warrior king then if a level eight warrior king and two level seven warrior kings were unable to win against him in a battle. I’m not surprised that he’s such a madman. People that are as strong are him are very rare after all.” The grand-elder was also feeling a little surprised.
“Hmph. This is honestly my first time seeing someone so reckless.” Meldrick snorted coldly, and said, “I hope I don’t ever run into him, or else I’d be itching to kill him.” He merely said that casually because he knew that there was no need for him to interfere in Walbert’s private affairs.
On the other hand, Walbert did not expect much from Meldrick and knew that the latter was just being polite
At that moment, however, a bodyguard ran in and exclaimed, “Sir! Sir! Something happened.”
“What’s the matter? Why are you getting so worked up Satchel chastised somewhat unhappily.
The bodyguard then said, “One of our people heard four people chatting in the street earlier, and they seemed to be from the Stormy Moon Sect
“And why are you making so much of a fuss about it?” Satchel asked.
Life After Prison Chapter 952-Meldrick smiled and chimed in, “Four of our juniors have arrived at the gate of the city but decided to take a stroll instead of coming with us. That’s why they’re not with us right now. Perhaps those people you mentioned just happened to bring up the Stormy Moon Sect when they were chatting. There’s nothing to fuss about, right?”
The bodyguard gulped, raised his head, and said meekly, “But our guy saw those four people fighting someone in a plaza and ended up… getting killed.”
“What?!” The smile on Meldrick’s face disappeared in an instant, only to be replaced by a look of shock. He never dreamed that the Stormy Moon Sect juniors who came along with him and Sofia had been killed.
“Is that true? Why would they cause trouble on a whim if this is their first time being in the city? Why would anyone want to kill them?” Sofia’s complexion had turned gloomy too, and she never dreamed that her four juniors would be killed.
“Don’t worry. We’ll bring a couple of people over to check on the situation and find out what happened. We might be able to get a hold of the surveillance footage, or if anyone took a video of the people.” The grand-elder said immediately.
“That’s right. We’ll get to the bottom of this for you.” The second elder immediately said too.
Meldrick nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, “I hereby order you to find out the culprit behind this before
the sun sets.”
“I’ll go with you two.” Draven took the initiative to come forward. He then said to Walbert, “I’m afraid that drink will have to wait. I’m sure you understand how grave the situation is right now.”
Walbert nodded. “I do, I do. This is more important than anything. I’ll tag along too since I have nothing else going on for the rest of the day.”
Following their conversation, Draven, Walbert, and the Jolls’ two elders left speedily with some bodyguards.
“I’m really sorry about this. I didn’t expect that to happen to them as soon as they arrived at Skystream City”
Satchel apologized to Sofia and Meldrick after Draven and the others left.
Sofia smiled wryly before saying, “You’re not to blame for this, Mister Satchel. We can never control what would happen in this world. I just can’t help but wonder who that person is and why they killed our juniors who had just arrived in the city. The culprit must have already escaped by now, but if I get my hands on him, I’ll crush him into a million pieces”
“Take a deep breath and get some rest for the moment. My men will help you find out what happened and who did it” Satchel immediately comforted the two of them.
Before long. Draven and others came to the plaza. They asked the bodyguards to carry the corpses back and then began asking the others to extract the footage from the nearby surveillance cameras
in less than half an hour, they managed to extract a video and transfer it to their cell phones.
The bodyguard ran over with the video and said to everyone. “The video quality isn’t that clear, sir, and we arent able to see the person who did it because he had us back against the camera. But if you look at the area behind for that’s closer to the surveillance cameras, you can see ten beautiful women there’
Life After Prison Chapter 953-“Ten beautiful women?” Draven froze for a moment and took a closer over.
As soon as he laid eyes on the video, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He clenched his fists and said, “It’s that son-of-a-b*tch who has these pretty women all around him! He’s the one who gave me and Riken a hard time at the plaza today!”
Walbert immediately took the phone, glanced at it, and said angrily, “You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me. He’s the b*stard who killed my woman! His name is Severin!”
“How could it be such a coincidence?!” Draven was a little dumbfounded for a moment because it was too huge of a coincidence.
Walbert nodded. “It’s quite a coincidence, but I’m pretty sure that it’s the same guy. Although we can only see the guy’s face in this video, I remember these women very clearly.”
“I remember these women too! In that case, Severin must’ve been the one who did it.” Draven nodded and remarked, “He’s asking to be killed. It’s a good thing that he killed the Stormy Moon Sect’s disciples.”
“I think so too.” Walbert was stunned for a moment, and a smile soon appeared on his face. He then said, ” If you look at it that way, it’s good that the four people he killed were from the Stormy Moon Sect.”
After a pause, Walbert continued, “He’s a level nine warrior king, and neither my family nor yours will be able to kill him. There is no longer any hope for revenge, and the two seniors from the Sect might not be willing to help because it’s not a life-and-death situation for your family.”
Draven added with a smile, “You’re right, but if he did kill four of the Stormy Moon Sect’s disciples, then it would be impossible for the two strong warrior emperors to just ignore the injustice. They would have to kill Severin and avenge their juniors.”
After the two of them were able to get the gist of the situation, they soon drove back with a smile on their faces to report what they had discovered.
Before long, they finally returned to the villa where Sofia and Meldrick lived. At that moment, Meldrick and Sofia were filled with rage as they looked at the four corpses lying on the ground.
“Did the two of you find any clues?” Meldrick asked immediately as he approached Draven and Walbert. Draven nodded and said, “We have, and we didn’t expect that he was the same guy who offended me and Riken this morning. As if that’s not big enough of a coincidence, he was also the one who killed Walbert’s girlfriend. His name is Severin.”
“Severin?” Sofia frowned when she heard the name.
Is something wrong? Do you know him?” Meldrick frowned and asked Sofia.
Sofia shook her head and was a little unsure of herself. “No, I think? I have the feeling that his name is very familiar, like I’ve heard of it somewhere”
“How do you know his name? Do you both know him before this? Meldrick posed the question to Draven and Walbert.
Life After Prison Chapter 954-Walbert came forward and said, “He told me his name when he goaded me and said that I could go look for him at the province governor’s sixtieth birthday party. Lucy, the girl I liked whom he killed, mentioned to me that he was from Brookbourn.”
“He’s from Brookbourn?”
After hearing that, Draven, Meldrick, and the others gasped in surprise.
“Impossible! How can such a small city produce someone so strong?!” Zieg was astonished too. “Isn’t it a waste of his talent for someone of such high attainment level to stay in a place like Brookbourn?”
“Hehe, who knows what’s he thinking? Let’s not pay attention to these little details though. That’s what Lucy told me though,” Walbert chuckled and said with a hint of irony in his tone.
To everyone’s surprise, Satchel shook his head and said, “It doesn’t really make sense that he’s from Brookbourn. If he did come from a small city like Brookbourn, then it would have been impossible for him. to be invited to the province governor’s birthday even if he was a first-tier family or from Brookbourn Mansion.
Draven instantly understood what his father was implying and said in response, “Are you saying that there’s more to this guy than we think? Should we send someone to investigate, then?”
Satchel nodded. “Let’s tell some of the bodyguards to go out and investigate. If he is a level nine warrior king, then I don’t think he’s just a random ordinary person.”
“Hmph. Whether or not he’s an ordinary person is not important to me. There’s no need to investigate any further. He’s digging his own grave if he dares to kill someone from our sect,” Meldrick clenched his fist and said angrily.
Satchel was overjoyed, and he immediately said with a smile, “I fully trust in your ability to deal with that kid. He’s probably not the disciple of a sect, and we shouldn’t be facing any trouble since he won’t be affiliated with any sect.”
Meldrick smiled coldly. “Of course. Since you already know who he is, you can just send your men to find out where he’s staying. I’m going to teach him the meaning of regret.”
Walbert smiled and said, “I don’t think we should make any effort to look for him. Didn’t he already say that he will be attending the province governor’s birthday party? We’ll find him if we go there.”
Satchel frowned and said, “But that’s the province governor’s birthday party we’re talking about. Wouldn’t we be disrespecting the province governor if we kill that kid on such an occasion?”
To everyone’s surprise, Meldrick responded nonchalantly. “Please. Even the province governor is nothing in front of the Stormy Moon Sect. It is up to us whether or not we want to show him respect. If we don’t want to, then there’s no need to do so. The province governor wouldn’t take action against them now, would they?”
Sofia persuaded hastily. “That’s not a good idea. He governs one of the nine states, after all, and even though we’re not afraid of them, we still need to be courteous toward them or else it won’t look good on us if word gets out The last thing we want is for the Stormy Moon Sect to be accused of bullying the others Having said that Sha paused and continued, I think we should wait outside until the province governors banquet is over Wed still be in time to stop him at the entrance and kill himm “We’ll go according to your plan then Meldrick smiled and agreed without hesitation “You probably never would have dreamed that you’ll be dead tomorrow, right, Severin.
Life After Prison Chapter 955-“In that case, let’s just enjoy ourselves tonight and check the city out. It’s not like we can resurrect any of them anymore. We’ll just avenge them.” Meldrick added with a faint smile.
“You’re right. It’s already getting late, so I’ll get someone to make reservations at a nice restaurant later. We can have a few drinks together and you guys can go take a walk around the city after that.” Satchel nodded.
Severin and the others had already returned to their hotel by then.
“We’ll probably be meeting Skystream City Mansion’s people at the province governor’s birthday banquet tomorrow, right? We just offended the mayor’s son today, so I’m worried that the other party might try to stir up trouble with us tomorrow.” Diane could not help but ask Severin as she leaned against the head of
the bed.
Severin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, although Skystream City Mansion is a strong force, they’re still only a city mansion. They might have lots of powerful people, but they still won’t be as strong as I am.”
After saying that, Severin paused briefly before adding, “Besides, tomorrow is the province governor’s sixtieth birthday, so they won’t attack me because of something trivial from the previous day. Doing so would only disrespect the governor.”
Severin then sat next to Diane and kissed her.
“Hey! Didn’t we just do it last night?” Diane’s face turned red and she said embarrassedly.
Severin smiled and said, “Yesterday is in the past. Today is in the present. It’s different.”
“But aren’t we going to attend a birthday banquet tomorrow? Have you gotten those alchemical pills ready?” Diane asked again.
“Don’t worry, I still have some on me. I’m always ready. Severin had a naughty smile as he kissed Diane’s neck and asked, “Are you ready?”
Diane’s face turned as red as a tomato and she rolled her eyes at Severin. “Meanie! You’re going to tire me out again tonight.”
The next morning, Severin prepared to go to the province governor’s birthday banquet.
“You don’t have to go with us, girls. You can go shopping, or just wait for us at the hotel. I’ll just go with them.” Severin felt a little embarrassed to be bringing so many women, so he told the six beautiful bodyguards not to tag along.
“Okay, then we’ll go shopping and come back at noon! Lillie said with a smile.
Before long, Severin arrived at the province governor’s mansion with Diane, Megan, Sheila, and Felicia, where it was decorated in a very lively manner.
The mansion resembled a huge palace surrounded by luxurious buildings, and there was a huge plaza in the middle where plenty of banquet tables had been set up.

Life After Prison Chapter 960-“By the way, since you’re a county governor, you must’ve prepared a very unique gift for the province governor, right?” Satchel thought for a moment and smiled coldly before deliberately trying to put Severin in a hard spot.
He believed that Severin did not have much money after only being appointed not too long ago, and although the county mansion had great potential for development, all of that was speculative income. Out of all the county governors he had met, he believed that Severin was the one who had taken up office the most recently.
Severin knew that Satchel was trying to make him look bad on purpose, so he smiled slightly and said, “It should be decent, I suppose. This is our first time here, after all, so we can’t be stingy now, can we?”
“Haha, how about we head on in then? We shouldn’t be standing in the way of everyone at the entrance. It’d be better if we headed to the waiting lounge for now.” When Regan saw the situation, he knew that there was something amiss about the conversation. He smiled awkwardly and immediately tried and ease the atmosphere.
“Waiting lounge?” Severin frowned and was a little confused.
Regan then smiled and said, “This is your first time here, Mister Governor, so you’re probably unfamiliar with the procedure. The province governor is a person of noble status, and this entrance is where the guests are requested to show proof of their invitations. Only those who have received an invitation will be allowed to enter.”
After a pause, Regan continued, “Those who are qualified to enter will be directed to that hall over there, where there are sofas, tidbits, wine, and the like. Once the majority of guests arrived, a person will be stationed at the entrance to the waiting hall, and that is when the gifts will be recorded.”
“I see. I didn’t think the province governor’s birthday would have so many complex procedures,” Megan could not help but smile wryly.
“It’s mainly because there are a lot of guests. Managing it systematically will make things smoother.” Regan smiled awkwardly, but everyone knew that it was because the province governor was a proud person.
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance to the mansion, and they walked in after handing over their invitations. After being led into a hall, Severin realized that there were already many people in the waiting lounge, all of whom were chatting with each other while waiting for the banquet to begin.
Several people happened to be talking about Severin at that moment.
“Have you ever met the South County’s governor? I heard that he’s a young man in his twenties,” the first person said with a slight smile.
Another person then said, “Not yet. He just took office, didn’t he? I’m surprised to hear that he’s a young man whom no one seems to know. The past county governors were all slightly older, and they were most mayors who oversaw some of the more renowned cities. I wonder what’s going on, and why they would let someone so young be appointed as the county governor.”
A third person then smiled and said, “He would certainly have a very bright future ahead of him if he became the governor at such a young age. I have a daughter, so I was wondering if I should marry her off to him?”
When the previous person heard that, he hurriedly persuaded him, “Don’t be so impulsive. Young people are often the ones who tend to be impulsive, and being young and ambitious might not be as good as you
think. Those who are not sufficiently grounded tend to be reckless, and they might end up causing trouble too After listening to that remark, the man who wanted to marry his daughter off to Severin pondered over the advice and nodded at last “You have a point. Perhaps that’s not something I should consider for the time being. I can always think about it later on”
