Life After Prison

Jada was so angry that her face was turning red. She never once thought that those from Draco Hall would interfere with their business and be so intolerant of such issues that they felt the need to step in.

Alas, she knew that her only option that night was to admit defeat. Though she came from a third- tier family, Draco Hall was an entity that they did not dare to and could not afford to provoke. After all, not even a second–tier family would have the guts to challenge them.

“Hehe, Blade…sir, I only did that because I wanted to teach Severin a lesson after he embarrassed me today. I swear that our restaurant doesn’t scam people! But since you’ve decided to let Severin go, then we assure you that we’ll respect your decision!” Jada smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to concede to him.

Before long, Blade left with his two hundred men.

When he was finally out of sight, Jada asked One–Eye, “What happened? Why did Draco Hall’s people show up so suddenly?”

One–Eye signaled for his men to get up and then said viciously, “It’s all because of one damn. underling that owed one of their men tens of thousands of dollars but still hasn’t paid back. When they came, they grabbed that person and chopped one of his fingers off. They wouldn’t even entertain my offer when I told them I’d pay back the money on my underling’s behalf!”

As soon as Easton heard that, he said, “Damn! Severin always gets lucky! The debt that One–Eye’s subordinate owed Blade is the only reason that Blade came in here, asked about the situation, and let Severin go because of the injustice!”

“Yeah! I wouldn’t’ve let that kid leave if that didn’t happen!” One–Eye was fuming with anger too.

“Okay. Thanks for your hard work. it’s getting late, so you should bring your men back to get some rest. I’ll transfer seventy thousand dollars to you soon. Treat it as medical expenses for the finger that your subordinate lost, plus all those other people who got injured today.”

Jada frowned and finally allowed One–Eye and his men to leave.

“Severin was asking for it when he slapped you. If we happen to get a chance like this in the future, we need to make sure that he won’t let go!” Easton said while gritting his teeth.

Jada, however, frowned and said, “I have a feeling that things aren’t as they look. Blade wouldn’t have brought so many people over simply to collect a debt that One–Eye’s subordinate owed him. And why did they have to chop off that person’s finger too? Don’t you think that’s going a bit too far just for the sake of some money?”

Easton expressed his disagreement with her. “What are you trying to say? Do you think that Blade might have come here specifically to help Severin escape? Why would he do something that would let Severin owe him a favor?”

Jada nodded. “Blade was very polite toward Severin and addressed him as ‘Mister Severin‘, I fear that there’s more to their relationship than we might expect. If we do anything to Severin in the future, I’m worried that I might offend Draco Hall. They’re one of three underworld forces, and

while the Stones are no pushovers, we wouldn’t dare to go so far as to offend them!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

However, Easton laughed confidently. “Haha, you’re being a little too cautious, don’t you think? I know what kind of person Severin is. If he was as capable as you believe him to be, he wouldn’t’ve been sent

to prison by us. Besides, he’s only been back for a couple of days. How could he suddenly get to know someone like Blade?”

Jada frowned, still unable to shake off the feeling that there was a trace of respect from Blade to Severin, and a very noticeable one at that.

“But why would someone like Blade address Severin as ‘Mister Severin‘? The way he addresses Severin just doesn’t sound right!”

Jada was a cautious individual, and he felt that the entire incident that night was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. It seemed to her that Blade specifically came to help Severin after seeing that the latter had been trapped.

Easton thought for a moment and said, “I know why. Because Severin knows Mister Henry, and Mister Henry is the head of the Longhorns! Who doesn’t want to curry favor with someone close to a first–tier family? This Blade guy might look like a brute, but he’s a meticulous person too. I bet he was polite to Severin because of Severin’s relationship with Henry!”

Jada then shifted the topic. “By the way, why did Mister Henry treat Severin to lunch? You know what, lunch isn’t even that big of a deal. It’s the expensive villa that’s bugging me. Why would he just give it to Severin? You should try and see if you can find out why Mister Henry gave the villa to Severin!”
