Chapter 151
When Severin heard that, he could not help but frown. “Rufus does seem a little overly enthusiastic about getting revenge. I didn’t expect him to come looking for us after I taught him a little lesson. earlier!”
Stanley was overjoyed when he heard that and immediately said, “You’ve screwed up big time, Severin, The Chavezes are a second-tier family, and Rufus is the eldest son of their patriarch. Who are you to teach him a lesson? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“Seriously, Severin? Of all the people you could’ve provoked, did you have to choose him? Our family won’t be able to help you anymore!” William added.
Felicia was also shocked to see Rufus’s appearance, but she remembered that Severin only beat Rufus because Diane allowed him to. Besides, Felicia was earlier irked by him too. After thinking about it for a bit, she stood up for Severin. “Mom, you have to protect Severin. It was Rufus who crossed the line when he picked on us while we were buying cars. Severin only beat him up after having enough of him. And to make things even worse, we were already about to leave when Rufus ordered his bodyguards to stop us from leaving!”
“Yeah! You need to help Severin! He’s part of the Shanahans now, isn’t he?” Judith was also startled by the sudden development and urged Catherine anxiously.

Everyone proceeded to walk out, and there, they saw the Shanahans’ bodyguards confronting the Chavezes’ bodyguards at the main gate. Some of the other family members who heard the news had also rushed to the gate and were frightened by the spectacle.
The head of the Chavezes brought more than two hundred people there, and among them were several highly-skilled individuals.
“Is Severin here? Hand him over right now! If you don’t hand him over today, we’ll take Felicia and Megan away until he offers himself!” Manuel, the head of the Chavezes, yelled loudly. He seemed to be a rather intimidating person.
After all, he might be more than forty years old, but he learned martial arts from several powerful fighters in his family. He was a trained fighter with a relatively strong body, and he looked very energetic for his age.
“I was the one who beat your son up, and I will take sole responsibility for my actions. Don’t you
