Chapter 774


    Chapter 774


    For the record, the mayors of cities within the south county would usually pay a certain sum to South


    County Mansion every year, but it was always the war god who had the final say as to the amount, and


    it was also always agreed in advance.


    However, that decision had somehow been left in the hands of the new governor, and the mayors


    would be out of luck if the governor turned out to be a greedy person. In any case, a war god’s words


    were gospel and his statements could not be challenged -all that the people could do was smile and


    apud.


    Of course, some people were getting increasingly eager, as they felt that they stood a chance of being.


    appointed to the position.


    “Let’s cut to the chase then. I will now announce the name of the person who will be the new


    governor, and that person will then be invited on the stage to receive the governor’s token!” Calum then


    said insipidly, “There are plenty of tables over here, so let’s all eat and drink once the ceremony is


    over!”


    Everyone apuded and looked forward to the announcement..


    “The new governor is… Severin Feuillet!” Calum announced the name emphatically under everyone’s


    eager


    gazes.


    “Severin Feuillet? Who in the world is that? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”


    “Which city is he the mayor of? That name doesn’t ring a bell.”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Many mayors were stunned when they heard such an unfamiliar name, and everyone began to look


    around.


    “Wait a minute. S-S-S-Severin? That kid?” Manny and the people from Yusky gulped and looked at


    Severin..


    Yacob was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If Severin became the governor,


    then the Ladds might not be able to do anything to him at all! On the contrary, they might even be the


    subject of more humiliation, perhaps even to the extent of being targeted by Severin! For example,


    Severin might just find a random reason to make Yusky Mansion fork out more offerings!


    Regan’s jaw dropped too, and he wondered if he had misheard the announcement. However, under his


    shocked gaze, Severin came forth slowly and walked up to the stage.


    “This can’t be possible! How is it him? How can he be the governor?” Regan’s legs trembled, and


    he was so nervous that he felt like his heart was about to pop out of his chest.


    Surina was just as frightened, and she practically had trouble trying to keep herself still. “I… I didn’t


    expect think it either. Isn’t he just here for fun?” After saying that, she grabbed Regan’s wrist and


    asked, “Do you he’ll target us in the future? If he bes the governor, then he’ll get to know many


    more powerful men in the future. Some of the mayors might even take the initiative to get on his good


    side, and there’s every possibility that we’ll end up being destroyed in the future!”


    The more Surina rambled, the more frightened she became, and even Regan became more restless.


    “Let’s not make any wild spections. Whatever grudge he has against us isn’t entirely unreconcble.


    Besides, he was the one who killed our men, not the other way around!” Regan triedforting himself


    after some thought.


    Surina smiled wryly. “It might not be an irreconcble grudge, but you heard what he said at the


    entrance before we came in, didn’t you?”


    Regan was even more frightened, and after pondering over his options, he thought to himself, ‘No, we


    can’t let him be the governor, or else we’ll be in big trouble!”


    Ather putting some mors thought into it, he decided toe forth directly and say, “Mister Callum, sir


    wasn’t the governor always selected from the among the mayors ? Severin isn’t a mayor, to why was


    he suddenly chosen to be appointed to the position?


    Vacob did not expect Regan to be so bold as to object, but he soon understood why Regan did to


    Severin became the governor, then neither the Ladds nor the Yankovs would be able to live in peace-


    after all, they had both offended Severin in one way or another


    After thinking about it, he immediately took a step forward and gritted his teeth. “Sir, I think Mister


    Regan is right. Severin was never a mayor, so it might be unsuitable for him to be a governor all


    of sudden”
