Ch. 101..110
Life After Prison Chapter 101-Victor nodded in response. “That’s for sure. As long as he doesn’t have any influence or power, there’s absolutely nothing for us to fear!”
Jada concurred. “Yeah. I heard that he was just released from prison a couple of days ago for smashing a beer bottle over Easton’s head. Easton eventually made use of connections to have him sent to prison!”
“Hehe,” Victor chuckled after hearing what Jada said. “If he could be sent to prison, then it’s clear that he doesn’t have any connections at all. Only the weak suffer the brunt of the law, so we can now be sure that Severin is just an ordinary person!”
He had been worried that Severin might turn out to be a powerful person simply because the latter was staying in the villa. Once he found out the exact situation surrounding Severin, however, he realized that there was absolutely nothing to fear, judging from how easily the Loughs were able to deal with him.
However, Jada thought of something and could not help but remind Victor, “Dad, there is one thing I need to point out though. Severin’s wife is the Shanahans‘ daughter, Diane. Five years ago, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock and was kicked out of her home as a result. I’m worried that we might offend the Shanahans if we’re too harsh on Severin.”
“But…” When Prunella heard that, her heart skipped a beat and she feared that it would hinder her chances of avenging her son.
Victor kept quiet for a moment before giving his take on the situation. “We probably don’t need to worry much, if at all. Diane was kicked out by her family and she hasn’t returned home for more than five years. This means that the Shanahans have long disowned her. We don’t need to be afraid of offending
the Shanahans. Secondly, our family has progressed very well in the past two years, and we even got in touch with a manager in charge of the Liberty City project. He promised to reserve a quota for us, and this will soon propel us to becoming a second–tier family. On the other hand, the Shanahans have regressed, and there is nothing for us to fear!”
He paused briefly before adding, “Besides, I heard that Edward Horsfield still has a crush on Diane, and even boasted that he’s willing to give her family a million and a half as long as she agrees to marry him. Anyone care to guess what’ll happen if Severin became a cripple?”
Jada’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard that. “If that happens, the Shanahans might even be grateful to us rather than blame us! And Edward will also be grateful to us for helping him achieve his goal. When the time comes, we can gain favor with the Horsfields too!”
“Bingo! Hahaha!” Victor laughed out loud. “By my careful analysis, we need to make Severin disabled because of the immense benefits it has for everyone. Diane will become a nobody if that happens, and once she marries Edward, you can be sure that he’ll be pleased with what we did!”
“All right, Victor! What are we waiting for then? Let’s get to it now!” Prunella said excitedly.
“By the way, Dad, Severin is very good at fighting. He wouldn’t have been able to face our restaurant’s hired thugs by himself if he wasn’t that skilled a fighter. Our family’s bodyguards are very powerful, but I still think it’s better to bring more people there. Make sure to bring more of
our stronger fighters there too!” Jada urged Victor after some thought.
“All right. Let’s head there after choosing some of the better guys!” Victor said as he strode out.
A sudden idea then occurred to Jada and she called Easton.
“Why are you calling me?” Easton was very upset. He tried to be intimate with Lucy several times. the previous night but failed to get up, so he decided to go out and get drunk after failing to figure out what his problem was.
Jada then said, “Hehe, I have good news for you. Severin will be crippled soon! My father is choosing a few of our best bodyguards. My aunt just came here today to beg us for help and asked my father to bring his men to beat Severin up and make him sterile.”
“Really? You couldn’t have made my day any better! I’m going to come over and see it happen for myself! I think Lucy is just as excited to see it. it’s gonna be so f*cking lit!” Easton was ecstatic and rushed out of the bar right away. After ending the call with Jada, he phoned Lucy who was shopping nearby.
Jada had a smug expression on her face as she grinned. “Oh, Severin. Weren’t you all smug last night? Well, you’ll soon find out that I’m no pushover, and you’ll get what’s coming to you.for slapping me!” She then walked out quickly.
Life After Prison Chapter 102-At that moment, Victor selected more than twenty of his family’s bodyguards, all of whom were warriors with formidable fighting power. Among them were the heads of several of his bodyguard teams.
“What do you think? These men should be enough, right?” Victor asked proudly when he saw Jada coming out.
Jada looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. “Even Hulk is coming, hehe. Not bad, not bad!”
“Hulk? Is he strong? He doesn’t look particularly tall!” Prunella looked at the person that Jada called Hulk. He was about 1.8 meters tall, but he did not seem to have a lot of muscles in his arms. Though he looked much stronger than ordinary people, the other bodyguards looked much stronger than him.
That comment elicited a smile from Victor as he said, “Show her your strength, Hulk.”
“Roger that, sir!”
Hulk walked over, looked left and right, and finally set his sight on a huge marble slab in the lawn. The slab was more than thirty centimeters tall and looked exceptionally sturdy. Hulk walked over, clenched his fist, and struck it just like that.
A muffled sound was heard, and the marble slab shattered in an instant, and several pieces were scattered on the ground.
“He sure is strong. I’ve heard that some of the bodyguards employed by upper–class families are experts at fighting, but I didn’t expect them to be that powerful!” Prunella and Cecil were completely stunned when they saw that scene.
“Don’t worry, you two. If this punch lands on a thigh, that thigh will be broken in an instant!” Victor’s wife smiled as she said to Cecil and Prunella.
“Great. Let’s head out, then!” Cecil was excited and full of confidence.
Within seconds, Jada led a whole group of them to the villa where Severin lived.
“Hey, Severin! Come out, you b*stard!” Cecil was getting more animated since he had the support of the Stones when he reached the entrance of Severin’s villa. He could not help but yell out loud when he thought of his son’s situation.
“Severin, you wimpy b*stard! How dare you bully Patrick! Come out here and meet your Prunella also shouted.
end!”
Judith and Maurice ran out anxiously after hearing all that yelling. “What’s happening out here?” As soon as they saw the horde of people, their expressions changed drastically to that of fear.
Life After Prison Chapter 103-“Who the hell are these two old people?” Prunella asked when the only people she saw were an old couple. Her rage began boiling deep inside and she demanded, “Tell your son and daughter–in–law to come out!”
Judith gulped, took a step forward, and said, “Everyone, m–m–my son and daughter–in–law went out and they’re not back yet. May I ask why you’re looking for Severin?”
“Hehe, you think we’d believe that? He’s probably hiding inside!” Jada snickered coldly. She waved her hand and then ordered the bodyguards, “Get in there and search carefully, fellas. Don’t believe a single word that’s coming out of this old couple!
About seven or eight bodyguards rushed inside at once. Judith and Maurice looked at each other and could not help but frown. Though they had no idea who the other people were, they remembered that Jada was the woman from the restaurant the previous night, and it was likely that she was causing trouble for them because of what happened at the restaurant.
After a while, the bodyguards came back.
“Sir, there’s no one else inside. It looks like these two bags of bones aren’t lying, and the people we’re looking for really aren’t at home!” A bodyguard reported to Victor.
“Damn it! We came at the wrong time! But then again, it’s almost five or six in the afternoon, so I’m guessing they’ll be back soon. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just wait here!” Victor decided on his next course of action and smiled coldly before saying, “You two stay right here and kneel! Don’t even think about telling your son and daughter–in–law not to come back!”
“Please, Miss. There’s no need to be so unreasonable. We didn’t pay the bill last night because your raised the price tenfold on purpose!” Judith had a bitter expression as she pleaded with Jada,” How about we meet halfway? We’ll pay the correct amount for last night’s bill and call it even. Does that sound good?”
“Does that sound good, you ask?” Jada smiled coldly and said, “I don’t think so! Do you think low- class folks like you can afford to piss us off? Look in the mirror, lady!”
In an extra show of might, Hulk stepped forward and roared angrily, “Are you two deaf? You were told to kneel!”
“You people are unreasonable!” Maurice gritted his teeth angrily and glared at everyone there! He viewed them as cowards for coming over in a group to bully an old couple.
“Don’t cross the line! My son knows Mister Henry, and we have a very good relationship with him!”
Judith said.
“Haha, all your son did was treat his illness, and the debt he owed you is now paid in full after he’s given you this villa. There are plenty of doctors in the world, and even if your son didn’t help him, doctors from other hospitals can still save Mister Henry!” Victor laughed loudly. “Or could it be that you’re under the impression that Mister Henry will forever owe you people just because your son saved him once? Do you think we’re fools who didn’t do our homework before coming to look for you? Who are you trying to bluff?”
“That’s right, we don’t think that Mister Henry will sever ties with us just because of Severin!” Jada added.
“Now kneel!” Jada was furious after thinking of how hard Severin slapped her the previous night. She felt ashamed more than anything, and it was precisely the fear of embarrassment that led her to avoid mentioning anything to her family.
She took a step forward and slapped Judith hard. “Do you think we’re joking around? Are you going to kneel or not?”
“Y–Yes! Okay! We’ll kneel! Happy now?” Judith’s eyes were red with fright. She felt aggrieved, but all she could do was kneel tremblingly.
“Honey!” When Maurice saw that Judith had been slapped, his face turned scarlet with rage and he slapped Jada with the back of his hand.
Life After Prison Chapter 105-“Are you sleepwalking? It’s already afternoon! Don’t you think it’s about time you woke up from your dreamland ?” Severin sneered when he heard the other party’s vicious remark. Everyone in front of him was mere child’s play.
“Sharp tongue, kid. Today’s the day you’ll find out that we’re not that easy to mess with!” Victor smiled coldly and glared at Severin.
Severin turned around and said to Judith and Maurice, “Mom, Dad! Bring Selene in. I don’t want her to see the bloodbath that will happen once we start throwing hands here.” After saying that, he turned to Diane again. “Honey, if you’re afraid, you should go in and lock the door!”
“I’m not. And there’s no point in locking the door.” Diane was well aware of reality. “They’ll come for us anyway if you get beaten down!”
“Let’s go in, Selene!” Judith led Selene into the house along with Maurice.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts! I think my bone is broken!” The bodyguard who had been struck by the stone earlier was still squatting on the ground. As he wailed and writhed in pain, his veins popped out of his forehead and he broke out in cold sweat.
“Is he really that strong?”
Hulk looked at the bodyguard, took a step forward, and clenched his fist while taunting, “Let’s spar, kiddo. I want you to show me what you’ve got!”
Severin reciprocated with a cold smile. “Are you sure? I’m curious to see how strong you are too!”
“Hmph!” Hulk snorted arrogantly. He clenched his fist, took a step forward, then gave Severin one punch. His movement was lightning–fast, and his attack was swift and fierce. He kept his guard up even as he attacked, and his punch carried with it a gust of wind.
Severin was not afraid at all when facing that attack. He clenched his fists immediately and confronted his opponent head–on.
“Hmph! He must be overestimating himself to go head–on against Hulk’s attack!”
“Blow his arm off, Hulk!”
Many bodyguards sneered and looked at Severin like he was a clown. The next second, a slightly dull sound was heard and an unexpected scene happened. Hulk, whose strength was like that of a bull, was sent flying backward by Severin’s punch. He flew back like a cannonball and was blasted several meters away before falling heavily to the ground.
“Ack!” Hulk fell to the ground and spurt out a mouthful of blood. His face paled instantly too.
“Ugh!” Moments later, Hulk uttered another cry of pain and covered his arm with the other hand. His face began to regain some color, but rather than rosy pink, it was an ashen bluish–green complexion.
“Are you all right, Hulk?”
A bodyguard immediately ran over, squatted down to check, and then exclaimed in shock. “Sir! H-H–Hulk’s arm is broken!”
“What!” Victor was bewildered when he heard that. It had never occurred to him that Hulk, the head of the bodyguards and an exceptional warrior, had an arm broken after getting punched by Severin.
“But how? That’s impossible! Didn’t Hulk break that huge marble slab earlier?” Prunella was even more frightened and took a few steps back. Her face was also turning various shades of color, and she really could not believe that Severin could defeat such a strong person.
“What should we do now, Dad?” Jada asked in fear.
Life After Prison Chapter 106-The incident left Jada feeling terrified. She gulped and was completely bereft of ideas.
“What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, and one person can’t possibly go up against so many people. I’m more than confident that a third–tier family like us can handle a pesky little hothead like him!” Victor glanced at his men and felt more certain of his abilities.
“Oh? This is mighty arrogant of a third–tier family like you, but even if you were a first–tier family, you people are nothing in my eyes!” Severin snickered. The other party had forced his mother to kneel, slapped her, and then beat his father up. He could not imagine how far they would go if he had arrived even a second too late. When he thought about how his parents suffered because of him over the past few years and still had to be subjected to those people’s bullying, he felt an indescribable rage deep in his heart.
Diane, who was standing behind Severin, covered her mouth in fright after seeing his fighting. abilities. It did not occur to her that he could fight that well. Even so, she began to worry a little when she saw how many people the Stones had brought with them. Though Severin might be able to hold his own against one person, it was a different matter altogether when the other party had more than twenty people.
“Go up there and break his damn legs!” Victor clenched his fist and roared.
“Charge!” Those bodyguards immediately surrounded him menacingly.
“Halt! Let’s see which one of you is bold enough to lay a hand on Mister Severin!” To their surprise, someone yelled at them right then, and the bodyguards immediately stopped their attack after being startled by the angry voice.
“Are you trying to court death?” At that point, dozens of people rushed in, followed closely by Blade and Larry strode in.
“Blade? And Mister Larry the hall master of Draco Hall? Why are they here?” The expression on one of the bodyguards‘ faces sank instantly as soon as he saw the situation.
They were well aware of the sheer strength that those two people had, for they were the first–and second–in–command of Draco Hall. Third–tier families could not afford to provoke an entity like Draco Hall.
“Why are you here, sir?” Victor’s face was a little sullen when he saw the people who had just arrived. Severin had been addressed as ‘Mister Severin‘, and Victor had a bad feeling after hearing that.
“Hehe, am I not allowed to be here? Just because you’re here doesn’t mean we can’t be here too.” Larry chuckled and looked at the people there. “What’s the matter here? What is this?”
“Sir, we have some grudges with Severin and we sincerely hope you won’t intervene!” Victor bowed his hands respectfully to Larry.
Larry, however, did not even bother to show Victor’s side any courtesy and smiled at Severin. “I was directing that question to you, Mister Severin. May we ask what sort of trouble are they causing?”
That was when Severin explained with a smile. “Patrick and the others tried charging ten times the price when I dined at Jada’s restaurant last night, which was bad enough in and of itself, but they went a step further and schemed against my wife by getting Patrick to force himself on her. Perverts like him ought to be sterilized, and that was exactly what I did. You can imagine my surprise when the Stones decided it would be a good idea to avenge that lecher! Can you believe it? They just don’t know what’s good for them!”
“Yeah! They’re being super unreasonable! They tricked me into going up to the private room yesterday and set me up so Patrick could molest me!”
Diane felt relieved when she saw Draco Hall’s apparent willingness to help Severin, which was why she stood up immediately and explained loudly. Though she did not know why Larry called addressed Severin as ‘Mister Severin‘, it was quite evident that they looked very familiar!
Victor frowned. “Is that what happened?”
“There was some scheming, but Severin went too far when he retaliated!” Jada bit her red lips, glared at Severin, and said with resentment on her face.
Seconds later, Larry slapped Jada across her face,
Life After Prison Chapter 108-Victor gritted his teeth and glared at Severin.
By his calculations, Severin would have become disabled had it not been for the good relationship with the supreme leader of Draco Hall. To make things even worse, Severin did not seem to know what was good for him and continued to confront their family boldly.
Severin’s expression was as cold as ever. “I want all of you to kneel, slap yourselves ten times, and promise never to cause trouble to me or my family again. Don’t even think about leaving this place until you’ve done as I ordered!”
“Surround them!” Larry told his men. As soon as he heard Severin’s cold words, he knew that the Dracodeus Temple’s Supreme Leader was truly very angry. None of those idiots realized the sheer formidability of the individual they had just offended!
Dozens of Draco Hall’s people immediately surrounded the Stones.
“I’m the head of Stones, Severin. Do you expect me to kneel to a guy like you?” Victor’s face was red with anger. His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was rather frightening too. “Are you sure you can afford to make such demands of me? How dare you tell me to kneel for you!”
“Why would I be afraid of asking you to kneel before me?” Severin put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and raised his head slightly like a sovereign ruler. “Next time you have beef with me, feel free to come at me directly. Threatening and assaulting my parents makes you look. weak. They’re old and powerless, but you and your bodyguards spared no mercy and had the nerve to lay a hand on them.”
“Didn’t you hear what he just said?” Blade asked fiercely. “Kneel before him. Do you honestly think. you can afford to refuse the demands of my brother?” He glared viciously at the people that he and his men surrounded.
Victor exhaled heavily and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
“But, Victor…” Prunella finally began to feel scared. Her mind had previously been filled with thoughts of revenge, and she never would have expected that Severin would be backed by such powerful people, much less be on good terms with Larry, the Supreme Commander of Draco Hall and one of the three big shots of the underground!
“I’ll count to ten. If you don’t kneel and apologize by then, I won’t hesitate to kill everyone here to show you what will happen if you offend me!” Severin threatened again when he saw that the Stones were still standing.
Diane stood behind him and could only stare in fright when she saw Severin’s fierce appearance.” Is this still the man who smiled at me and Selene while we were having fun just now? Is he the same handsome, gentle Severin that I know?
At that moment, Severin exuded a domineering aura as he stood there like a despotic ruler whom no one would dare to provoke.
Even so, Diane empathized with Severini’s mood at the time, because she knew how difficult it would be for him to not get angry when he saw them bullying his elderly parents. These people mapter US have rubbed Severin the wrong way, and they would have the suffer the consequences of their actions! Severin was like a true dragon.
“Hey now, Severin. Don’t you know that it’s not good to burn bridges with people?” Victor gritted his teeth and said while looking at Severin.
“One…two…”
Severin could not care less about what Victor said and continued counting.
“Okay, okay!” Victor knew that he had met a most ruthless person that day, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and kneel on his initiative when Severin counted to three.
As soon as Victor knelt, everyone else–his bodyguards, Prunella, and Cecil–knelt too. Jada resented everything that was happening, but she had no other option aside from kneeling, albeit unwillingly.
Life After Prison Chapter 109-“Mister Severin also wanted you people to slap yourselves ten times and swear not to cause trouble to him or his family again. You all heard that, right?” When Larry saw everyone kneeling, he stole a glance at Severin and felt subdued by Severin’s imperceptible aura too.
That was the moment he came to realize that the supreme leader of the Dracodeus Temple had an icy side to him too.
Victor had never felt that humiliated before, but since Draco Half’s people were lending a hand to Severin, he could only swallow his pride and do as he was told. “We apologize for what we did and we promise not to trouble you or your family again!” they vowed and slapped themselves ten times.
“Now get the hell off my property and mind your own business next time. Today was a lesson, and if you ever dare to come to my place and disrespect my parents, I can assure you that your entire family will be wiped off from Brookbourn!” Severin finally waved his hand, and remarked impatiently, almost as if the sight of that group of people made him nauseous.
Victor, Jada, and the others were red–eyed with anger and gnashed their teeth bitterly, but there was nothing they could do about it aside from clench their fists and leave with their men.
Meanwhile, Diane stood behind Severin in amazement as she never expected him to have such a masculine side. The domineeringness he projected was something she had never before seen in anyone, and she had a sense of security with him all of a sudden.
After the Stones left, Diane breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to thank Larry and Blade. “Thank you both for your help. I wouldn’t dare to think of the mess that would have happened if you didn’t show up when you did!”
Diane trusted Severin’s stellar fighting abilities, but the Stones‘ bodyguards were no pushovers, and more concerning was the fact that they had strength in numbers. If Larry and Blade did not show up on time that day, Severin might have been beaten to a pulp.
“Haha,” Larry laughed, and then said, “You’re more than welcome! Mister Severin is like my elder brother, and I’ll treat you as my sister–in–law from now on!”
After saying that, he said to his subordinates, “Say hi to your new sister–in–law!”
“Pleasure to meet you, ‘Sis‘!” His men called out respectfully one after another.
Diane has never been called ‘sis‘ by such a huge group of people, so her only response was to smile awkwardly and say, “No, no, no. Please just call me Miss Diane!”
Severin then glanced at Larry and Blade before casually asking them, “Is there anything I can help. you two with?”
He knew that there must be a reason why Larry and Blade came looking for him. After all, it made no sense for them to come to him for no good reason when he had just returned from Draco Hall earlier.
Larry looked at Diane and knew that it would be inconvenient to reveal Severin’s identity there, so he said, “Well, my mother’s illness is acting up again. It’s been plaguing her for some time now. I heard that you have exceptional medical skills, so I came here to ask if you could help cure her illness. I promise you’ll receive a just reward as long as you can heal her!”
Severin nodded. “I see. You’re a good son, Mister Larry, and your filial piety is admirable. Take me to her then!”
He subsequently turned to Diane and said, “Honey, I’ll go with them to visit the man’s mother!”
“Of course! Go ahead!” Diane nodded. After all, Larry had been tremendously helpful to them earlier, and she knew that Severin would feel bad to refuse even though Larry and the group were underground forces.
Severin looked at Diane, and said to Larry, “Could you leave ten men behind to guard the door? I’m worried that someone from the Stones might get some nasty ideas if they see us leave! I have to be more careful from now on!”
Life After Prison Chapter 110-“Consider it done!” Blade immediately stationed ten men outside the villa.
Larry, along with Blade, drove off with Severin and the rest of their men.
After returning to the car, Larry said, “Supreme Leader, why don’t I send more people to help you stand guard? Does that sound like a good idea to you? I’m worried that some other people will start troubling you again. Your family can’t resist them if the other people aren’t around!”
Severin gave it some thought and shook his head. “Forget it, I think it’s best that I avoid having your men around all the time. And also, please don’t call me ‘Supreme Leader‘. Mister Severin or boss will do!”
“Understood! I won’t call you that anymore. If no one else is around, I’ll just call you ‘boss‘!” Larry smiled awkwardly.
“Let’s cut to the chase. Your mother isn’t sick, right? Tell me what’s going on,” Severin then said. “That’s exactly the kind of response we expected from our supre–I mean, our boss! Nothing gets past you!” Larry remarked. “Well, the Cedar Gang sent someone over and said that their second–in- command has reached thirty years of age today. They want to celebrate, so they called us to go have a drink!”
“And that’s why you wanted me to tag along?” Severin’s expression turned dark. “Are you guys trying to let everyone know that my relationship with you is much more than it appears to them?”
Severin reaction startled Larry and he hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not it at all! The main reason is that we feel bad if we don’t go, but then if we do go, we’re also worried that it might be a trap!”
Blade also chimed in, “That’s right, Boss! You might not know this, but our relationship with the Cedar Gang is beyond repair. I beat up One–Eye yesterday too, didn’t I? And I even cut off one of his subordinates‘ fingers! You can’t blame us for being worried when they invited us to have a meal with them today!”
“They invited us over for a birthday celebration meal, and bringing too many people there won’t look good on us because it looks like we’re going there for a fight. But then again, if we decline, it’s almost as if we’re not showing them any courtesy, and they might assume that we’re afraid of them. We didn’t know what to do, so we decided to just come and look for you!” Larry continued.
“I see!” Severin understood their dilemma after hearing their explanation, and he said with a nod.” Where’s the location?”
“A villa up a mountain in the city outskirts,” Larry answered. “It’s their territory, and it’s located halfway up
the mountain. Even if we told our people to hide at the foot of the mountain, they won’t be able to rush up in time if Blade and I are attacked. But if we don’t go, they’ll laugh at us for being cowards!”
“Well, then there’s no need to call anyone else. We’ll go there with whatever people we have with us now!” Severin nodded and closed his eyes.
Blade and Larry exchanged bewildered glances at each other when they heard that. There had to be something on the supreme leader’s mind if he told them to go there with the men that they had
then, without calling for more men to join them.
Judith and Maurice rushed out as soon as Severin left.
“What happened, Diane? Why was Severin taken away? Didn’t those people come to help him?” Judith had a worried look and she was afraid that something might happen to Severin.
Diane immediately comforted them. “We have nothing to worry about. The person who came earlier was the Supreme Commander of Draco Hall, and he sought Severin’s help to treat his mother. They probably only helped us because they thought it would be best to lend us a hand before asking a favor from Severin!”
“I see. That’s good to hear then. I don’t need to worry so much anymore!” Judith patted her chest and the burden on her heart was finally lifted.
About seven or eight cars headed straight outside the city and reached the foot of a mountain. The vehicles then began their ascent up the winding mountain road.
