Life After Prison Chapter 774
For the record, the mayors of cities within the south county would usually pay a certain sum to South County Mansion every year, but it was always the war god who had the final say as to the amount, and it was also always agreed in advance.However, that decision had somehow been left in the hands of the new governor, and the mayors would be out of luck if the governor turned out to be a greedy person. In any case, a war god's words were gospel and his statements could not be challenged—all that the people could do was smile and applaud.Of course, some people were getting increasingly eager, as they felt that they stood a chance of being appointed to the position."Let's cut to the chase then. I will now announce the name of the person who will become the new governor, and that person will then be invited on the stage to receive the governor's token!" Calum then said insipidly, "There are plenty of tables over here, so let's all eat and drink once the ceremony is over!"Everyone a

"These two can't be serious. They know that the Severin is going to be the governor, and yet they're bold enough to say such a thing?""They probably think that they had a good chance of being appointed to the position, so they're unhappy that Severin took the chance away from them. Why else would they be so bold as to question a war god like that?"The other mayors, whose chances of being appointed were very slim to begin with, started to whisper softly when they saw how brave Yacob and Regan were in standing up and saying such a thing."Unsuitable?" Calum's face soured, and he was obviously a little unhappy. "Who do you think is suitable then?"Calum's petulant expression left both Yacob and Regan trembling in fright. However, when they thought about how they might be targeted—perhaps even killed—if Severin became the governor, they decided that they had no choice but to step forth.Regan gritted his teeth. "Our main objection is that Mister Severin isn't the mayor. Hasn't the p

Before long, more and more people joined in the shoe-shining session, and two men even came forth to condemn the shameless behavior that Regan and Yacob displayed. Regan and Yacob lowered their heads and were speechless for a bit since they had somehow turned into the target of public criticism."Quiet, please!" Severin stretched out his hand and gestured for everybody to remain silent. "Let's talk about the offerings. I'm not going to set a standard rate for everyone because that'll be too troublesome!"Everyone listened closely after hearing Severin get into the details of what everyone wanted to hear. They all wanted to know how much they needed to pay.Severin smiled slightly. "As you all know, my name is Severin, which sounds pretty similar to the number 'seven'. For that reason, you will only need to offer seventy percent of what you used to offer in the past. This means that I'm giving you a thirty percent discount. Just make sure you hand the money in on time!""A thirty pe

As soon as Severin put forth that question, both Regan and Yacob stiffened."Murderous intent? You wanted to kill him? Do you know who he is? Not even a hundred of your lives are worth as much as a fraction of his!" Calum had a gloomy expression when he heard that and immediately questioned Regan and Yacob.He then looked at Severin. "Would you like me to kill them both?"Had it not been for Severin's insistence on not causing too big of a stir in the city and his dislike of having his identity revealed, Calum would have called Severin 'master' already. Even so, many of the guests there were shocked because Calum's tone sounded like he was asking for advice, much like the attitude of a subordinate seeking direction from a superior."Spare us!" Regan was so shell-shocked that he immediately knelt on the ground. Then, his mistress Surina, along with his men, did the same one after another."It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! You got us all wrong here!" Surina had

After Severin and Diane got out of the car, Felicia and Megan came with several others to greet them. "Welcome home, governor and wife of the governor!"Diane and Severin exchanged a dumbfounded glance with each other, and they were left stupefied by the welcome that they received."Did you and Megan put up the plaque, Mom?" Diane asked as soon as she went up to Felicia.Before Felicia could even answer, Megan said, "Hehe, that was us! You might not know this, but as soon as you and Severin left the home, Mom asked me to could look for someone to help us put it up!"Diane was speechless and she almost fainted after hearing that. 'They sure are excited.'"Where's the token? I'd like to see it, Severin!" Felicia immediately ran to Severin with a smile and asked eagerly with an expectant look.Severin took out the token and handed it over to her."Wow… this… isn't this made of real gold? It feels so good to the touch!" Felicia took the token and touched it excitedly.Severin smile

Felicia was still a little heartbroken after thinking about it, and she could not help but to protest softly. "Even if you wanted to win their hearts, isn't a ten percent discount more than enough? Why does it have to be thirty percent? This is a huge loss of earnings!""It's not like we lack money right now. If we have a good relationship with those mayors, our business in South Link City will be much smoother in the future. As you probably already know, the mayors of many cities have their properties in South Link City, especially the nearer cities!" Severin immediately said."That's my husband for you! I didn't think you'd be such a business-savvy person!" Diane could not resist heaping some praise on Severin.Felicia finally conceded when she saw them singing the same tune. "Okay. Everything you both said seems to make perfect sense. So be it, then. A woman like me shouldn't bother about such things. All I can hope for is that I can get a bit more money to spend."Severin smile

William was not there at the time, so it was natural for Maurice to be worried that William might be unhappy if Severin did not give his father-in-law any money.Severin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I won't forget my father-in-law. He'll receive his share too!"Zachariah and Zenoah stood not too far away, and they both had a surprised look after seeing Severin transfer over a million to his family members. Although the Ballards could just as well fork out the same sum of money, they could never make such a generous gesture.After all, God knows how long it would take for a person to finish spending 30 million dollars.…Regan and Yacob brought their people to a teahouse after the ceremony came to an end.Once they took their seats, Regan frowned and asked, "What do you think this Severin guy is playing at? He gave us a thirty percent discount and did not show any discrimination against us, but I can't help but feel uneasy at the whole thing!"Beside him, Surina frowned an

Manny lowered his head as he was boiling with anger. He had no idea why his father suddenly became a coward.After Yacob finished beating Manny, he turned around and smiled at Regan. "Regan, my brother. The damage is done and we had offended the current governor. No matter how he is the newly appointed South County's Governor!"At this point, he paused. "Thus, I think we should go apologies to him to show how sincere we are. Regardless if he would come after us in the future or not."Regan nodded his head after hearing that. "I guess that's the only solution we have now. An apology itself is not enough. We should bring some gifts over!""Gifts. Tsk, I don't think he's interested in money or gold. Let's give him some spiritual herbs. I know it's going to break our bank but at least that can show our sincerity." Yacob smiled."Dad, seriously? We knelt down and apologized to him today in front of everyone and he said he has let it go. Is it really necessary for us to go apologize to
