Chapter 780
William was not there at the time, so it was natural for Maurice to be worried that William might be unhappy if Severin did not give his father-in-law any money.
Severin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t forget my father-in-law. He’ll receive his share too!”
Zachariah and Zenoah stood not too far away, and they both had a surprised look after seeing Severin transfer over a million to his family members. Although the Ballards could just as well fork out the same sum of money, they could never make such a generous gesture.
After all, God knows how long it would take for a person to finish spending 30 million dollars.
Regan and Yacob brought their people to a teahouse after the ceremony came to an end.
Once they took their seats, Regan frowned and asked, “What do you think this Severin guy is playing at? He gave us a thirty percent discount and did not show any discrimination against us, but I can’t help but feel uneasy at the whole thing!”
Beside him, Surina frowned and said, “Don’t scare me, darling! What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Severin is only acting as if he’s not targeting us?”
Regan nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m worried about. Two-faced people do exist. They might portray themselves a certain way, but deep down they’re the complete opposite of what they show on the outside. They pretend to be generous and forgiving now, but they might just find an excuse to go against after a couple of months have passed and everyone else forgets about what happened today.”
Surina was worried as soon as she heard that and asked anxiously, “What should we do then?”
Regan finally answered, “Well, I invited Yacob here so we can discuss it. After all, we’re both in the boat!”
Yacob kept silent as he frowned in deep thought.
Manny then remarked with a gloomy expression, “Does it matter if he’s the governor? I heard that he came from Brookbourn, where there aren’t any huge forces there. Even if his attainment is strong, I don’t think he’d be capable of winning against our family’s strongest men. We don’t have to be afraid of him at all! If he can only win in a fight against a level two warrior king like Jinny, then maybe he’s just a level three warrior king?”
When Regan heard that, he immediately pointed out, “It’s probably much more than that. His attainment is at least five or level six warrior king. Plus, he knows Mister Calum, which is why that position was given to him in the first place!”
“Hmph. We don’t have anything to fear even if he is a level six warrior king!” Manny snorted coldly, looked at Regan with a little more contempt in his eyes, and said directly, “Namvail is developing well, Mister Regan, but it’s unfortunate that there are still far too few strong people in your city, or your mansion for that matter. We, at Yusky, have plenty of strong guys whose attainment has reached that of a level seven warrior king!”
However, Yacob immediately stood up and slapped Manny as soon as the young man ended his sentence. “Don’t talk nonsense, Manny!”
