Manuel’s heart skipped a beat. It appeared to him that Larry was only willing to go there because his
mother’s illness had not been cured, and Severin’s help was thus needed for
any follow-up treatments. In all likelihood, Larry was probably afraid that they would beat Severin to
death and no one would prescribe the medicine for his mother.
Severin looked at Manuel, and said, “Mister Manuel, you just said that you’d bring your men away if I’m
able to get Hall Master Larry toe here, and that you’ll write off the matter of me beating your son
up!” Severin then paused for a moment and continued, “I trust that someone with your reputation in
Brookbourn would be a man of your word.”
Manuel was furious, but he could only smile politely at Larry. “Alright. We’ll have to show some
courtesy now that Hall Master Larry is here.”
After finishing his sentence, Manuel brought Rufus and the Chavezes’ bodyguards away.
“Thank you very much for your help, Hall Master Larry, sir! Since you’re here, why note in and
have a seat?” Catherine had wanted to curry favor with a force like Draco Hall in the past because.
they were all very capable fighters despite not having as much money as them. Since there were many
benefits to building a good rtionship with a force like them, it was only natural for Catherine to seize
the chance to express her gratitude.
Larry smiled awkwardly at her and said, “Haha, that won’t be necessary. I’ll visit again when I have. the
time, and besides, it’s not ideal when I brought so many people over today. I still have a lot of things to
take care ofter this afternoon!” He was telling her the truth instead of merely making an excuse. He
was very busy with the takeover of the Cedar Gang’s property, and manpower was needed to take care
of the property too.
“Well then, since you’re busy, we can always do so another day. Doe and visit when you’re. free!”
The olddy smiled, but deep down, she was a little embarrassed. Larry was being courteous not to
her, but to Severin.
“Thank you for this, Hall Master Larry. Let’s have some tea another day if you’re free!” Severin smiled
and tried to act polite.
“Sure thing, Mister Severin. We’ll be off then!” Larry nodded and left almost as quickly as he came.
They drove off in their cars and disappeared from sight.
“I was wondering why Larry rushed over here, but now I realize it’s because his mother’s illness hasn’t
been cured yet! He’s worried that no one will prescribe any medicine to his mother if Severin gets
beaten to death!” Maryam made a sour remark after Larry left.
-“Yeah, it’s all just a matter of luck that he happened to be treating Larry’s mother. He’d be finished

if it wasn’t for that!” Stanley said the same thing.
They obviously did not think that the rtionship between Severin and Larry had reached a level where
Severin could just call him on a whim.
Severin, meanwhile, could not be bothered to exin anything to them. After all, he did not want
anyone to know that Larry was his underling.

However, Catherine had noticed something. As soon as Larry came, he repeatedly called Severin
Mister Severin’. Most of his words and actions undoubtedly hinted at some sort of respect toward
Severin. Most people might not notice that, but she was not most people. She guessed that Larry’s
rtionship with Severin was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After pondering over what happened, the olddy smiled at once and said to Diane, “I’ve decided. Our
family has been slipping down for the past few years, and although you’re married to Severin now,
you’re still undoubtedly part of us. The Shanahan blood flows in your veins, so, starting tomorrow, you’ll
be reappointed as the general manager of the Shanahan Corporation. I hope you’ll be able to lead our
family back to its glory days
