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
Yacob tried to persuade Regan."Okay. Let's do that and get going!" Regan gave it a thought and finally nodded. Soon, the group drove all the way to Severin's villa."This is it. Let's go." Although they were reluctant to go, they forced themselves to do it.When they were at the entrance, they were stopped by the guards. "Who are you guys?"Regan approached with a friendly smile. "I'm Namvail's mayor, Regan Yankov. This is Yacob Ladd, the mayor of Yusky. We are here to see the governor.""That's right. Could you be kind enough to tell the governor that we are here to see him?" Yacob said with a smile."Sure. Please come with me. You can wait outside the villa while we inform the governor!" A guard said.Later, he brought Regan and the others in. When they waited in the garden, a guard went inside the house."Ma'am. Do you know where is the governor? There are two mayors here to see him. They said they are Regan Yakov from Namvail and Yacob from Yusky."Since the guard could n
Just then, the villa's door opened. Severin, Diane, and Sheila walked out. Manny, Surina, and the rest quickly stopped complaining when they saw Severin."Mayors, what brings you two here today? I know how busy you two normally are." Severin chuckled and approached them. "Fellows. Please sit down and tell me the reason for your visit.""Do you prefer fruit juice or water? I'll get the maid to prepare," Diane asked.Regan quickly waved his hand. "Ma'am, you don't have to. We, we're here to apologize!"Right after he finished his sentence, he knelt down. "That's right. Governor, we're here to apologize for the mess that happened earlier. I hope you could forgive us."Yacob, Manny, and the others also knelt down. Although Manny felt resented, he had no choice but to follow since his father was down on his knees.Severin quickly approached and pull them up. "What is this? Didn't you guys apologize to me this morning? I have already forgiven you. Why are you guys here again?"He had
