Severin never expected that Sheila would ask such an awkward question in public. After figuring out a way to diffuse the situation, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "You were given a prearranged quota too, right?"Sheila merely smiled. "Yeah, it's decent. The Longhorns gave us two spots in advance, and both locations are very good too. Aside from that, we're mainly here to officiate the ribbon-cutting. Once that's out of the way, Mister Henry will announce the number of quotas, starting with those that have been prearranged, and ending with those that have secured their approval based on the latest information given."Severin nodded. "Well, that sounds great!""Welcome one and all to the launching of the Liberty City project! The ceremony will start soon, so may I please invite everyone to come and take their seats!" An attractive thirty-something emcee announced loudly on the stage.The guests all set down their glasses of wine and walked over quickly to find a seat.

The emcee had a smile on her face as she announced the last two spots."What?! The last two were given to the Shanahans? They got two?!"Sure enough, the audience began to whisper among themselves."What's going on here? Wasn't the Shanahan Corporation on a downward slope when Stanley was the general manager? Don't you feel strange that Diane has secured two of the prearranged quotas after assuming the position of general manager for only a few days?" Someone then insinuated.Victor and Jada, who was in the vicinity, happened to hear that remark.Victor was stunned for a moment, and she felt that it was a good time to turn public opinion against Diane. With the thought of his humiliation the other day still fresh in his mind, he deliberately raised his voice. "You never know if she's a good rider, if you know what I mean. Good-looking women are usually even more experienced! I think Diane must've used some underhanded ways to get what she wants. Maybe she has some sort of secret r

"Holy crap! Severin must be ridiculously bold to punch the head of a third-tier family like the Stones!"Some people were so shocked that their mouths were agape and they could not believe that Severin would dare to hit Victor."Ah!" Jada was so frightened that she took several steps back and covered her mouth in disbelief. Victor fell to the ground and had a nosebleed."What are you doing, Severin? How can you punch the head of the Stones? Aren't you going to apologize to him?" Catherine was terrified and shouted at Severin, mainly because it brought them no benefit to offend a third-tier family and might even be disadvantageous because there was a possibility that they might retaliate in the future. Secondly, they were at the launching of the Longhorns' project, and the fuss Severin made was tantamount to disrespecting the Longhorn family. He might as well just slap one of the Longhorns after what he did!"God, he's so handsome! I like a man who takes a bull by the horn!" Unlike

Gideon then said straightforwardly, "It seems to me that you were the one who began to stir trouble at the launching, and Mister Severin here only punched you because he was angered by your unfounded accusations. What did you intend to achieve by making that remark?""I…I didn't! I'm being wrongly accused here! I didn't mean to provoke him!" Victor was taken aback by what was happening and hurriedly cried wolf. "I just think that it's a little odd for the Shanahans to get two spots when Diane had just only resumed her position as general manager. I just made some off-handed remarks, that's all! I didn't make any sort of insinuation!""Tell your men to chase Victor, Jada, and the rest of the Stones from this venue," Gideon said to the head of the bodyguards. "Their prearranged quota in the Liberty City project will be retracted and given to Brookbourn Mansion!"Gideon had earlier realized that there were only two spots given to Brookbourn Mansion, and it seemed a little out of place

Jada, who was standing beside Victor, complained to him. "Why did you have to be so stupid, Dad? It's all over now. We lost the quota that originally belonged to us, and worst of all, we offended the Longhorns. Our life will only get more difficult from today on."Victor protested, "I thought I had a good relationship with Gideon, and that he'd come and help me. And besides, my remark wasn't straightforward at all. I just hinted that Diane got the two quotas even though she just became the general manager. It's up to other people to think what they want to think.""You might as well have just spit it out after what you said. People aren't idiots, you know." Jada was even more speechless as he said to Victor, "Why did you feel the need to do that when we've already hired a four stars assassin? For all we know, the assassin will probably arrive in Brookbourn by today or tomorrow, and Severin will be dead by then! Your actions just caused us a tremendous amount of loss, Dad!""Damn it!

It was natural for Stanley to feel that way when his dream woman was walking right toward him, so much so that he even unconsciously adjusted his necktie."H-hello, Miss Robin. Is something the matter?" Stanley immediately smiled and greeted her as she approached.Robin merely nodded at him and walked right past him toward Severin. She then offered her business card. "Severin, was it? I admire your courage in punching Victor, and I especially enjoy making friends with such straightforward people. I wonder if you'd consider being my friend."Severin was aware of her status and felt that it would be inappropriate not to show some courtesy. He accepted her business card and then smiled awkwardly, "Umm… This is a little awkward, but I don't have a business card for you. You see, I'm unemployed and I don't have a job."Catherine and the other Shanahans nearly had a stroke. Severin was being something of an embarrassment because he did not even have a business card.Robin smiled. "That'

Diane rolled her eyes at Severin. "Of course not. If I got jealous just because another woman gave you a business card, then I'd probably spend my whole life being miserable!""Alright then, it's about time we head back. Don't forget our celebrations at the hotel tonight!" Catherine could not be happier. Everything that happened to the Shanahans that day was a positive development, and she firmly believed that they could soon rise to become a second-tier family if they could keep the momentum going.After pondering over their newfound fortunes, she said to Severin, "By the way, you should visit the Zelankos tomorrow and help check on their old lady's health. It'd be best if you can help treat her because then the Zelankos would owe us a favor. We can leverage that at a later date to establish more business cooperations with them.""That's right, Severin," George chimed in. "And you mustn't offend Sheila too. She seems interested in you, and our family's future will be even more secu

Severin and Diane were just about to reach the car when Severin sensed the somewhat rhythmic footsteps of a man and a woman coming from either side of him. They were walking at a speed that could not be considered slow, and though it seemed like nothing unusual, there was something about it that was different from the norm. Severin was instantly able to sense that those two individuals were elite fighters. Moreover, he could not help but raise his guard because he could feel them targeting him."Walk slower behind me, Diane!" Severin quickened his pace all of a sudden and walked ahead of Diane, who frowned because she did not know why he suddenly decided to quicken his pace.As she was just starting to wonder what was on Severin's mind, Leonard and Carmen had already appeared in front of Severin. The two of them attacked Severin simultaneously from either side, and they both produced a dagger that they stabbed right at Severin."Ah!" Diane yelled when she saw what happened."What's
