Chapter 119
Larry and Blade exchanged glances and were a little taken aback after hearing what Severin said in the call. To hear Severin asking someone else instead of Draco Hall to protect his family meant that Severin probably did not think too highly of Draco Hall’s people.
Moreover, the person on the other end of the line seemed to call Severin ‘master‘, which showed that Severin had apprentices. Judging from how powerful Severin was, one might deduce that his apprentice would not lack much in the way of strength either.
After Severin ended the call, he smiled faintly at the two of them and said, “Don’t jump to conclusions. It’s not that I look down on Draco Hall’s people. I’m just afraid that Draco Hall’s relationship with me might come to light!”
“We understand, Boss!” Larry nodded, but he knew in his heart that whatever Severin’s considerations were for not asking them to send their men, it was just as clear that the people sent by Severin’s disciples might all be extraordinary individuals.
A car had parked on the side of the road outside the villa where Severin lived. Inside the car was Easton and Lucy, who both trembled with fright after what they saw. They had heard from Jada that the Stones were going to give Severin a hard time, and the two of them immediately drove over simply for the sake of enjoying the schadenfreude and seeing how the Stones would deal with Severin.
However, they were shocked to see Victor–the head of the Stones–kneel in the front yard with Jada and the Stones‘ bodyguards. The entire group was seen slapping themselves and swearing never to trouble Severin and his family again.
They initially thought that they were hallucinating, but they soon discovered that it was the head of Draco Hall who compelled the Stones to kneel. All of a sudden, they realized that Severin was probably connected with Larry and Blade somehow, and the relationship with them might not be as simple as it seemed.
The two of the stayed put in the car before and watched the Stones leave in despair.
Easton gulped, took out a cigarette, and lit it, then took a few puffs before turning to Lucy in disbelief. “I’m not seeing things, am I? The people from Draco Hall didn’t even hesitate to offend the Stones just to help Severin. How does he have so many connections?”
Lucy felt her head buzz at that moment too. She never imagined that the dirt–poor kid would be so close to someone like Larry and even be able to ask him for help.
At that moment, she felt a little regretful as she stared at the luxurious villa not far away. A sense of helplessness soon ensued, for she would probably have been the one living in that villa if she had not chosen to be with Easton.
Easton looked at Lucy’s dazed expression and nudged her slightly with his elbow. “What are you thinking about? You look like you’re in a daze?”
That was when Lucy snapped back to her senses. “Oh, umm. What did you say again?”
