Chapter 404
Zachariah Ballard was aware Larry Dune was just sugarcoating words. His true intent was to remind Severin Feuillet was the true mastermind who kept a low profile. Larry Dune’s visit was a veiled threat and a warning for him not to retaliate against Draco Hall.
“Alright, that is all Mister Feuillet wants to convey to you. I’ll make my leave now!”
As Larry began to leave the hall, Zachariah escorted him out.
“Don’t worry. We also wish for peace too. Moreover, Mister Feuillet saved my life and helped my family too. I’ll make sure not to cross him!”
Larry suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. “Oh, right. I have to remind you Mister Feuillet would prefer to maintain a low profile. I hope you’ll keep what I’ve told you a secret. Please don’t expose Mister Feuillet’s true identity.”
“Yes, I understand!” Zachariah nodded in agreement.
Zachariah let out a sigh of relief after Larry Dune left. On top of learning about Severin’s identity as Draco Hall’s true leader, he was also surprised about how powerful he secretly was. At the same time, Claude Emeraldo also got out of his hiding spot.
“What do you think about what he said?”
Zachariah turned to look at Claude. “From now on, I don’t need your gang to pay me taxes anymore. Apart from testing your loyalty, it was also a warning. But now, my family seemed like a joke compared to Draco Hall. I suppose they are the most powerful right now!” Claude saluted Zachariah as a thankful gesture. “Thank you, Mister Zachariah. Luckily we decided not to attack Draco Hall, and they even came to warn us about it. Even if we team up to fight them, I don’t think we’re a match for them. Severin must be on the level of a ninth-level grandmaster, and Larry doesn’t seem to be bluffing about him!”
Zachariah pondered carefully. “Yeah, we can’t afford to offend Severin. We must be in his good books and keep a friendly relationship with him!”
Claude nodded. “That’s right, but being friendly with him isn’t enough. We also need to please him to keep the peace between us. Luckily I told Hugo and the rest to leave him alone. Otherwise, we’d end up like the Chavezes!”
Zenoah Ballard suddenly darted into the hall. He seemed to be excited about something.
