Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 775

Chapter 775 

“These two can’t be serious. They know that the Severin is going to be the governor, and yet they’re bold enough to say such a thing?” 

“They probably think that they had a good chance of being appointed to the position, so they’re unhappy that Severin took the chance away from them. Why else would they be so bold as to question a war god like that?” 

The other mayors, whose chances of being appointed were very slim to begin with, started to whisper softly when they saw how brave Yacob and Regan were in standing up and saying such a thing. 

“Unsuitable?” Calum’s face soured, and he was obviously a little unhappy. “Who do you think is suitable then?” 

Calum’s petulant expression left both Yacob and Regan trembling in fright. However, when they thought about how they might be targeted-perhaps even killed-if Severin became the governor, they decided that they had no choice but to step forth. 

Regan gritted his teeth. “Our main objection is that Mister Severin isn’t the mayor. Hasn’t the practice. been to select governors from among the mayors? At least, that’s the case in about nine out of ten appointments.” 

Calum retorted with a cold smile. “Are you implying that I lack the authority to choose the governor? You said yourself that the governors are selected from the mayors in nine out of ten appointments. Can’t this appointment be a ‘one-out-of-ten’ situation?” Calum then added in a firm tone, “This matter is settled. If anyone dares to question my decision; then they will have to take it up against me. I will not spare that person’s life, nor the lives of his family!” 

Everyone gasped when he heard that. Judging from Calum’s response, the relationship between Calum and Severin was extraordinarily good. Had that not been the case, Calum would never have made such a threat to the other mayors just to ensure that Severin was appointed as the governor. 

Then again, if everyone knew that Calum was Severin’s apprentice, they would all be able to understand why he would be so angry. It was undoubtedly a massive disrespect to him when he was questioned by several mayors in front of his master. 

Severin smiled slightly. Once he arrived on stage and took the token, he said to everyone, “Some people here don’t seem too keen on my appointment as the governor. Does anyone else have any objection aside from the mayors of Namvail and Yusky?” 

Everyone gasped audibly when they heard that and were shocked by Severin’s act of singling out the two cities. ‘Could this be a grudge?’ they wondered. ‘Will he target them in the future?”
