Chapter 77


    Chapter 77


    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.


    s, 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, de…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, de 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 dors 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 de is the only reason that de 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 gettingte, so you should bring your men back to get some rest.


    I’ll transfer seventy thousand dors 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 pped 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. de 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 de


    might havee here specifically to help Severin escape? Why would he do something that would let


    Severin owe him a favor?”


    Jada nodded. “de was very polite toward Severin and addressed him as ‘Mister Severin‘, I fear that


    there’s more to their rtionship 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!”


    However, Eastonughed 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 de?”


    Jada frowned, still unable to shake off the feeling that there was a trace of respect from de to


    Severin, and a very noticeable one at that.


    “But why would someone like de 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 de specifically came to help Severin after seeing that


    thetter 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 de guy might look like a brute, but he’s a meticulous person too. I bet he was polite to


    Severin because of Severin’s rtionship 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 vi 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 vi to Severin!”
