"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
"Haha, it's over now!" Frankie was elated! Though he initially thought that the target would be difficult to deal with, it seemed that his worries had turned out to have been misplaced.At that moment, however, Severin placed his hands on the ground and spun his body, enabling him to kick Leonard and Carmen directly in their abdomen."Gah!" The two of them flew several meters back after being kicked.Severin squatted down on the ground and struck a cool pose as he looked at the two people who struggled to get up after being kicked. He pointed his fingers at them and said, "The two of you are too soft!""How in the hell did you react so quickly?" Leonard massaged his abdomen, gritted his teeth, and exchanged a glance with Carmen before charging toward Severin again."I won't hold back since you're asking for it!" Severin could not be bothered to toy around with them and launched himself forward like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of his opponents
Frankie felt that the young man in front of him was an enigma."Send my greetings to the grim reaper." Severin smiled coldly, then rushed over again in a blink of an eye.Though Frankie still wanted to resist, Severin slapped away the old man's hand. The next second, he grabbed the man's head and gave it a light twist. A crisp cracking sound was heard, and Frankie's head fell limply to one side. Severin then released his grip, sending Frankie's body collapsing on the ground."Go over and help him! Why are you just standing here?" When George saw that the fight had ended, he stood up and kicked the two bodyguards standing beside him.The two bodyguards were speechless, and one of them immediately answered, "But sir…it's done. The three of them are already dead. Mister Severin is far too strong. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his movements were as smooth as the water's flow!"George then said, "Are they dead? Ahem, that's good then. You should go over and help dispose of th
