Victor gritted his teeth and glared at Severin.By his calculations, Severin would have become disabled had it not been for the good relationship with the supreme leader of Draco Hall. To make things even worse, Severin did not seem to know what was good for him and continued to confront their family boldly.Severin's expression was as cold as ever. "I want all of you to kneel, slap yourselves ten times, and promise never to cause trouble to me or my family again. Don't even think about leaving this place until you've done as I ordered!""Surround them!" Larry told his men. As soon as he heard Severin's cold words, he knew that the Dracodeus Temple's Supreme Leader was truly very angry. None of those idiots realized the sheer formidability of the individual they had just offended!Dozens of Draco Hall's people immediately surrounded the Stones."I'm the head of Stones, Severin. Do you expect me to kneel to a guy like you?" Victor's face was red with anger. His eyes were bloodshot,
"Mister Severin also wanted you people to slap yourselves ten times and swear not to cause trouble to him or his family again. You all heard that, right?" When Larry saw everyone kneeling, he stole a glance at Severin and felt subdued by Severin's imperceptible aura too.That was the moment he came to realize that the supreme leader of the Dracodeus Temple had an icy side to him too.Victor had never felt that humiliated before, but since Draco Hall's people were lending a hand to Severin, he could only swallow his pride and do as he was told. "We apologize for what we did and we promise not to trouble you or your family again!" they vowed and slapped themselves ten times."Now get the hell off my property and mind your own business next time. Today was a lesson, and if you ever dare to come to my place and disrespect my parents, I can assure you that your entire family will be wiped off from Brookbourn!" Severin finally waved his hand, and remarked impatiently, almost as if the sig
"Consider it done!" Blade immediately stationed ten men outside the villa.Larry, along with Blade, drove off with Severin and the rest of their men.After returning to the car, Larry said, "Supreme Leader, why don't I send more people to help you stand guard? Does that sound like a good idea to you? I'm worried that some other people will start troubling you again. Your family can't resist them if the other people aren't around!"Severin gave it some thought and shook his head. "Forget it, I think it's best that I avoid having your men around all the time. And also, please don't call me 'Supreme Leader'. Mister Severin or boss will do!""Understood! I won't call you that anymore. If no one else is around, I'll just call you 'boss'!" Larry smiled awkwardly."Let's cut to the chase. Your mother isn't sick, right? Tell me what's going on," Severin then said."That's exactly the kind of response we expected from our supre-I mean, our boss! Nothing gets past you!" Larry remarked. "We
"Hey, Boss! Do you think Larry and his group are brave enough to accept our invitation?" asked a bald man sitting in front of a bearded man in the mountain villa.The bearded man was Monte, leader of the Cedar Gang! Next to them stood the one-eyed man from the previous night with several other people, and all of them were considered the most people of the Cedar Gang.Monte smiled coldly. "Haha! I sent invitations to a lot of wealthy businessmen, and if the Draco Hall's people are afraid to come, then you can bet that the news will spread like wildfire. When that happens, they'll be laughed at for sure! Of course, they'll be laughed at all the same if they brought a whole group of people. They'll lose their reputation just as well if word gets out that they're afraid of having a meal with us!"Then, Monte continued, "But if they come with only a few people, then today will mark the death of Larry Dune! Haha!"Upon hearing that, One-Eye frowned. "But sir, both Larry and Blade are ver
"Let's go!"Those who were higher in the hierarchy walked along the path toward the villa gates. Since the villa was halfway up the mountain and there is only one road leading to it, one could easily see how many people Larry brought just by standing at the gates.If Larry brought some men for an ambush, their only option was to do so in the woods at the foot of the mountain. In the event a fight broke out, however, it would probably be too late for them to rush up even if they found out about it. The cars parked at the open space for Larry, Blade, and the others to get off with Severin."Haha, and here I was worrying that you'd be afraid to come, my old friend! I'm glad you could make it to Kevin's birthday party! Having you here will make our villa all the merrier!" Monte was ecstatic to see Larry and Blade bringing such a small number of people there.Though he had made extensive preparations to kill Larry, he estimated that there was a less than ten percent possibility that Lar
Larry burst out laughing when he heard that. "Hahaha, that's a good one, Monte! Why would I need to bring so many people just to have a meal? Do you think I'm a coward?""Haha, not at all! Why would I ever think that, my friend? Hasn't Draco Hall made its mark by slaughtering many people? I am told that your strength has reached the peak of a warrior and is almost approaching that of a grandmaster!" Monte had a genuine smile on his face while making that remark.Sure enough, many tables had been set up in a courtyard outside, with a few more inside a hall. Many wealthy businessmen began to arrive, and they all received the protection of the Cedar Gang. The businessmen's endeavors were guaranteed to be smooth sailing, and all they had to do was provide some monthly benefits to the Cedar Gang!After seeing the arrival of Larry and his men, several dozen people stood up and greeted them with a smile. It was common knowledge that the relationship between Monte and Larry was very tense,
However, if Monte could use the poisoned wine that he had prepared to eliminate the two leaders from the picture, then the remaining people would be a piece of cake for them.One-Eye was not an idiot, and he immediately understood what Monte meant. He cupped his hands and bowed to Blade in a fake show of sincerity, "My apologies. You're our guests today, and our esteemed leader is right. Whatever happened in the past should be left in the past. We ought to do our very best to play host to our valued guests!""Hmph!" Blade sat back down when he saw One-Eye sitting back down too.Monte then looked at Severin again, and then said to Larry, "My friend, who is this young man here? You seem to have a good relationship with him!"Larry then smiled and made an introduction. "This here is Mister Severin Feuillet, a miracle doctor. I was not feeling too well earlier, but he treated my condition so my body could recover. Since he was a guest at my place and your men invited us over for this c
"Come on, fellas! Keep drinking!"Monte, Kevin, and the others poured more wine for Larry's group after they feasted on some of the food. They had already finished one bottle of wine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary after they drank it. Larry and Blade could finally breathe a sigh of relief, for it seemed that they had been overthinking the situation and were under the false assumption that the Cedar Gang wanted to poison them.Even though that was the case, they did not dare to be too careless in the event that the Cedar Gang intended to get them drunk before dealing with them. Before long, Monte took out another bottle of wine and poured it for Larry, Blade, and Severin.After pouring the wine for the three of them, they raised their glasses again to toasted Larry and Blade! The two men had let their guard down and picked up their respective wine glasses to drink the wine. Monte did not mind that Severin had not touched his wine glass yet, since whether he drank or not did
