Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 

“Of course he does! Who wouldn’t want to take up such a position as prestigious as the governor?” Felicia’s eyes lit up immediately as soon as she heard that there was hope for Severin to assume the job. The way she saw it, Calum’s remark about making Severin a war god was probably in jest, but the decision to make Severin the governor was entirely Calum’s prerogative. 

Although the Shanahans were on the right track in terms of progress, Brookbourn was still a small city and there were thus plenty of restrictions on their development. If Severin became the governor, then the Shanahans could take advantage of their relationship with him and make their mark in a place as huge as South Link City. More importantly, the relationship between Severin and the four war gods meant that there was nothing for the Shanahans to fear in the future. 

Calum looked at Severin and asked, “What do you think? Would you like to try your hand at becoming the governor?” 

Severin noticed the expectant glances of Catherine, Felicia, Megan, and everyone else. After what 

seemed like a long time, he finally nodded and said, “Sure. South Link City is situated in a good location. The spiritual energy there is very rich, and there are many training resources too, so I suppose I have no choice but to reluctantly agree!” 

Everyone there was speechless. “What is he going on about?’ they wondered. Becoming the next governor carried with it a very high status, and many of the smaller city mansions had to answer to a county mansion. Several city mansions were even required to offer a part of their earnings to the county mansion every year. An honor like that was something everyone vied for, yet Severin’s response to it was ‘I have no choice but to reluctantly agree! 

“Haha, great! I have one less thing to worry about now that you’ve given your approval. I’ll make an announcement in South Link City when the time comes, and the public will soon know that you’ll be appointed in seven days. Is that fine with you?” Calum laughed, wishing that Severin could be appointed right away. 

“Sure, that’ll be amazing! We’ll make arrangements for our assets in Brookburn within the next few days, and then we can start packing our bags to move there! We’ll sell off whatever properties that can be sold, and we’ll have someone manage the rest!” Catherine immediately remarked excitedly. 

Severin smiled wryly. His consideration for accepting the offer was South Link City’s location, which was the very center of the south county. It would thus be more convenient for the other halls to visit him there, which was why he agreed in the first place. 

Later that noon, everyone had a marvelous time drinking away, and it was not until evening that the four war gods left in their helicopters. The other guests then began to leave one after another once the war gods and war chiefs left. 

“Congratulations, Catherine! You’ll soon become a member of the South County Mansion! Do take care of Brookburn Mansion if the chance ever arises in the future.” Zachariah then bid goodbye to Catherine with 

a smile.
