Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 

For the record, the mayors of cities within the south county would usually pay a certain sum to South County Mansion every year, but it was always the war god who had the final say as to the amount, and it was also always agreed in advance. 

However, that decision had somehow been left in the hands of the new governor, and the mayors would be out of luck if the governor turned out to be a greedy person. In any case, a war god’s words were gospel and his statements could not be challenged -all that the people could do was smile and applaud. 

Of course, some people were getting increasingly eager, as they felt that they stood a chance of being. appointed to the position. 

“Let’s cut to the chase then. I will now announce the name of the person who will become the new governor, and that person will then be invited on the stage to receive the governor’s token!” Calum then said insipidly, “There are plenty of tables over here, so let’s all eat and drink once the ceremony is over!” 

Everyone applauded and looked forward to the announcement.. 

“The new governor is… Severin Feuillet!” Calum announced the name emphatically under everyone’s eager 

gazes. 

“Severin Feuillet? Who in the world is that? Why haven’t I heard of him before?” 

“Which city is he the mayor of? That name doesn’t ring a bell.” 

Many mayors were stunned when they heard such an unfamiliar name, and everyone began to look 

around. 

“Wait a minute. S-S-S-Severin? That kid?” Manny and the people from Yusky gulped and looked at Severin.. 

Yacob was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If Severin became the governor, then the Ladds might not be able to do anything to him at all! On the contrary, they might even be the subject of more humiliation, perhaps even to the extent of being targeted by Severin! For example, Severin might just find a random reason to make Yusky Mansion fork out more offerings! 

Regan’s jaw dropped too, and he wondered if he had misheard the announcement. However, under his shocked gaze, Severin came forth slowly and walked up to the stage. 

“This can’t be possible! How is it him? How can he become the governor?” Regan’s legs trembled, and he was so nervous that he felt like his heart was about to pop out of his chest. 

Surina was just as frightened, and she practically had trouble trying to keep herself still. “I… I didn’t expect think it either. Isn’t he just here for fun?” After saying that, she grabbed Regan’s wrist and asked, “Do you he’ll target us in the future? If he becomes the governor, then he’ll get to know many more powerful men in the future. Some of the mayors might even take the initiative to get on his good side, and there’s every possibility that we’ll end up being destroyed in the future!” 

The more Surina rambled, the more frightened she became, and even Regan became more restless. 

“Let’s not make any wild speculations. Whatever grudge he has against us isn’t entirely unreconcilable. Besides, he was the one who killed our men, not the other way around!” Regan tried comforting himself after some thought.
