Chapter 199
“What’s going on? This anxious behavior is unbecoming!” Henry looked at the man in front of him and asked impatiently.
In his opinion, anyone who was part of the Longhorns-even the servants-should keep their calm at all times. They were a first-tier family, after all.
“Our people just got news that the people from Draco Hall are taking over the Cedar Gang’s property. Had we not investigated further, we wouldn’t have found out what really happened. Apparently, the Cedar Gang had initially set a trap for Larry and Blade of Draco Hall by inviting the two of them to a meal. In a sudden twist of events, all of the Cedar Gang’s strongest men were killed by Draco Hall!” The man then said.
“Are you saying that the Cedar Gang had been subsumed into Draco Hall?” Henry stood up as soon as he heard that. “This is quite huge indeed, so much so that it will usher in a change in Brookbourn’s landscape!”
Charmaine frowned and could not help but mutter, “Draco Hall won’t do anything to Severin, will they? I remember that time when the Loughs called Blade to help deal with Severin. It was only after we came that Blade left!”
To her surprise, the servant then said, “They won’t, that’s for sure. I heard that Severin went to meet the Cedar Gang with Larry and Blade that day. There were not a lot of Draco Hall’s people there, but they were still able to kill the Cedar Gang’s strongest man even when they were under siege, and Draco Hall was able to retreat without any casualties!”

Charmaine looked at the servant and waved him off. “You may leave now. We get the gist of it!” Once the servant was gone, Charmaine asked Henry, “What do you mean by that, Grandpa? Is Severin really that strong?”
Henry nodded. “Severin’s relationship with Draco Hall most certainly runs deep. You are to appease him always, and never offend him!”
“Is that guy who went to Easton’s wedding and made a big fuss really that powerful?” Gideon frowned, evidently because he did not believe in Severin’s ability and felt that his father was merely exaggerating.
Henry nodded. “The Cedar Gang aren’t weaklings, and Draco Hall was able to retreat unscathed even though they did not have a lot of people there. They’ve also taken over the Cedar Gang too. As it stands, Draco Hall is already as powerful as Brookbourn Mansion. Who can say for sure what lies ahead for Brookbourn’s change in landscape?”
Aside from the three first-tier families in Brookbourn, there was another bigger force known as Brookbourn Mansion. Although the people in Brookbourn Mansion were very low-key, there were
