Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 491 - Bab 500

Mick knew he would not be able to persuade Severin once the latter had made up his mind, so he said to Candy, "Candy, take some men to go back with you and Mister Severin back to Mus Hall. After he had freshened up, you can all follow him to Brookbourn. I and the rest of the men will take care of the other strongholds. We'll find the time to visit you and Mister Severin once things have stabilized, which I'm guessing would take around two days' time.""Yes, Father. Don't worry. You can leave it up to me!" Candy said with a smile."Good girl." Mick nodded. Then he apologetically turned to Severin, and said, "Mister Severin, I apologize for not being able to personally send you back. There are still things I need to do here."Mister Severin smiled. "Nonsense. We have all the time in the world to catch up later.""Let's go, Mister Severin!" Candy immediately led the way, and several of Mus Hall's escorted Severin to leave the place first.After Severin left, Mus Hall's Great Elder sa

Felicia jumped up in fright, and hurriedly asked, "What should we do? The fact that Mister Valerian is here earlier than expected means he really holds us in high regard. He'll surely be displeased if he finds out not all of us are here yet!"Catherine, however, was strangely calm. "There's no need to panic. It's not like Mister Valerian is very close to Severin. With such a big group like ours, it'll take him some time to notice Severin isn't among us. We'll just pretend Severin is already here and go out to welcome Mister Valerian for ten seconds or so. Then we'll scatter around once we all come back inside. I'm sure he won't even notice Severin's absence if we just do what I said.""Mother, don't worry. Take some deep breaths. Grandmother is right. Things will work out. Mister Valerian will be too busy to take notice of Severin's absence. We'll call Severin once we're back in the house and tell him to sneak in from the back door," Megan said to Felicia."Let's go. Mister Valerian

"Holy shit! This kid has balls. Not only did he lie about going into the toilet but he dares to speak to Mister Valerian like they're friends?" said someone after witnessing the latest development.The Shanahans were shocked too. Stanley had already hinted to Severin only to be completely ignored. 'Why won't Severin take the hint? I can't believe he actually told Mister Valerian he had some other urgent matters to attend to!'They could not help but wonder whether Valerian would get angry at Severin.However — out of everyone's expectation — Valerian only smiled and said, "It's fine. You may take the time to finish whatever you were doing. Besides, it's my fault for coming here so early and for not confirming the time of the visit with you all. I'll be sure to be more considerate next time."Everyone was struck dumb. Not only was Valerina not angry but he actually sounded a little apologetic."Haha, don't worry about it. You're more than welcome to drop by for a few drinks anytim

"But I can't possibly accept that, Zenoah. After all, it's a very precious item passed down within your family!" Though Severin knew deep down that it was a genuine treasure worth taking, he remained courteous and humble despite wanting to take it immediately.After all, it would make him look greedy if he were to take a family heirloom without the slightest hesitation.Felicia, who was watching from one side, had a glimmer in her eyes as she took out it from Zenoah. She then rolled her eyes at Severin and said, "He's offering it to you out of sincerity, so you can't just refuse it like that! Otherwise, they won't be able to live with themselves if you reject it!"Zenoah was unaware of the enigma contained within the jade pendant, so he nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mister Severin. I'd feel bad for the rest of my life if you won't accept it!""I understand. Thank you very much for your generosity then!" Severin could only smile awkwardly and say yes."Thank you, Mister Severin!" Zeno

Severin's attention remained on the jade pendant. He was confident that there was something desirable contained within, and though he did not know its exact contents, he was nevertheless certain that it would be a waste to let Felicia have it.As he pondered over his options, he spotted Megan having some tidbits alone. An idea popped up in his mind and he began walking toward her."Megan, can I…umm…ask for your help?" Severin walked over and asked her with a smile.When Megan heard that, she returned the smile. "What do you need me to do, Brother-in-Law? I'll do it as long as it's within my ability!"Megan's attitude toward Severin had changed completely because he had shown himself to be rich and incredibly capable. She felt that the Shanahans' had prospered in recent times due in no small part to Severin, and things would certainly not have been that good for them had it not been for him. Her dreams of driving a luxury car and buying whatever she wanted could not have been realiz
