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
Regan was delighted because Severin was right. If Severin did not accept the gifts, he would feel worried that Severin refused to forgive him. He could rest assured now that Severin accepted their gifts and their apologies."Thank you, governor!"Surina and Suga were relieved too. This incident started because of them and they were worried Severin would hold grudges against them. Yacob and the others also quickly expressed their gratitude before leaving the villa."Haha! There's no harm in having lots of spiritual herbs! Plus I'm in need of a first-grade high-rank spiritual herb. They are very useful and handy so the more the better!"After Regan and the others left the villa, Severin took a look into the spatial rings where he discovered half of the spiritual herbs were suitable to produce medicine. The discovery left him feeling delighted."Those two mayors are so interesting. When they did not know you were the governor, they were making lots of noise and threatened to have you
At that moment, Yacob gave them a vicious smile. "Seriously, how naive can you two be? Do you really think I'm scared of him? Although Regan did a very good job with Namvail's development, he did not have many strong fighters in his mansion. It's normal for him to be afraid of Severin."He paused before continuing, "But I'm not afraid of Severin because we have many strong fighters!"At this point, more questions popped into Manny's head. He frowned. "Then why did you insist that we have to go kneel down and apologize to him embarrassingly if you aren't afraid of him?"Yacob sneered coldly. "Because I want to let Severin put his guard down. The war god won't suspect us when Severin got killed if we went to apologize to Severin together with Regan."That had completely explained everything. Manny's eyes lit up while he gave a thumb up. "Dad, that's a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that? This is literally demeaning ourselves before we could accomplish something greater!"Carl
Manny nodded seriously. "I know it now."After that, he looked out the window while he was feeling extremely happy. Once Severin was dead, his family was going down with him. By then, he could bully Diane in any way he liked.After some thinking, he thought of something. "Oh, Dad, did you see the other woman together with Severin just now? She's very pretty too and she looks very young and cute. Do you think they are related?""Oh, that woman. Her name is Sheila Ballard. The daughter of Zachariah Ballard, the mayor of Brookbourn. Yes, she does look good. It's very rare to see such an energetic and pretty girl now," Yacob answered."Yes." Manny nodded with a plan in mind. "Dad, she's really very pretty. What about we go visit her father and get her father's permission to marry her? It's not every day that I get to meet a girl that I like."He knew very well that Yacob would never allow him to marry Diane who was already married and the wife of their enemy. Thus, his plan was to bu
"Delilah, I didn't know you are here," Shane said with a smile, and simultaneously, the anger on his face was nowhere to be seen."Hmph! I heard that you tried to bully Yoel when you saw him the last time. Is it true?" Delilah snorted. "Shane. Yoel's father and brother had just passed away. His family is in a downturn now. Do you think it was nice of you to bully him now?"Shane looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Delilah, you must have gotten the wrong information. How could I do that? Someone must be trying to frame me. Even after suffering a loss, the rich family is still rich. No matter how bad his family is, I couldn't just bully him as I wish."After that, he did not continue with his explanation and asked Yoel instead. "Hey, Yoel. I'm sure you know who that guy was. Where does he live? Give me his address!"Yoel smiled bitterly. "Are you sure you want his address?""Cut to the chase. He beat my men and insulted me. I have a bone to pick with him. I'm going to make hi
