“B-B-de?!” Denzel’s expression soured when he heard that name.


    Diane, who initially was able to breathe a sigh of relief, immediately turned pale. She said softly to


    Severin, “Bad news. It appears that the Loughs have still maintained connections with de.”


    Severin’s brows furrowed, not out of nervousness, but out of curiosity. “Is this ‘de’ guy strong? What


    kind of person is he?”


    “You might not know this, but aside from the wealthy families we see in Brookbourn’s surface, there’s


    the existence of a ruler in the underworld, as well as an organization called the Draco Hall. Draco Hall’s


    second-inmand is de. He’s a capable fighter, and he only got to where he is now by killing


    people. They say that he faced more than a hundred people with only a de in his hand, and by the


    end of the massacre, more than sixty of themy dead the ground, while the others ran off because


    they were scared out of their wits!” Diane said with a frown.


    She was growing increasingly worried, and after pondering over the situation, she said softly to


    Severin, “We should go, Severin. We can probably still get away if we leave now, because Denzel’s


    security guards might be able to help us stop the Loughs’ bodyguards. If we miss that chance, I don’t


    think anyone will be able to save us!”


    When Severin heard that, he grinned slightly and said, “I didn’te here today to cause trouble at the


    wedding. Lucy owes me a hundred and ny thousand, all of which were my parents’ hard- earned


    money. That amount consists of forty thousand for the dowry, and the hundred and fifty from when she


    sold off my matrimonial home in a scam for half the original price!”


    Diane was stunned for a moment before she managed to string her words together. “Are you stupid?


    You’re willing to risk your life for money? Do you honestly think you’ll be able to escape this situationExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    with your money?”


    Severin nodded right away and said with conviction, “I don’t think that’ll be a big problem.”


    Diane nearly fainted. His words were infuriating! She could not believe that he just described the


    situation as not a big problem! Had she not called the Shanahans to stall time, and had Denzel not


    stepped forward to speak up for him, Severin would have been hacked to death already.


    She was utterly bewildered to see him being so calm about it.


    Denzel pondered over the situation and said, “Severin, you and Miss Diane should leave. My people


    will hold them off for you!”


    After saying that, he immediately yelled, “Listen up, fes! You are to escort Severin and Miss Diane


    safely out of the hotel!”


    As soon as the guards received the order, they immediately surrounded Severin and Diane one after


    another.


    Denzel did not dare to take any risks. Since he was unsure when Henry and the others would arrive at


    the hotel, his best bet was to find a way to get Severin and Diane out first.


    The Shanahans watched the scene unfold with puzzled expressions.


    Denzel was a businessman who almost never did anything if there was nothing in it for him!


    A usible exnation for Denzel’s stance against the Loughs was probably to ingratiate himself with


    the Shanahans, but the Shanahans were there, and they did not intervene, so that exnation could


    be discounted. The only other possible reason was that he was trying to please Severin, rather than the


    Shanahans.


    Whichever perspective one looked at it, Severin’s appearance was theplete opposite of a rich and


    powerful person. Besides, everyone knew that he was the guy who was sent to prison after smashing a


    beer bottle over Easton’s head, and there was no reason for them to have him imprisoned if he had


    been a rich and powerful person.


    At that moment, the Shanahans could not understand what Denzel was trying to achieve with his


    actions.


    “Damn you, Denzel. Why’d you have to pick a fight with me today? Do you want to make an enemy out


    of me?” Trevor’s face turned red with anger as he waved his hand and signaled his men to surround


    them.


    Easton gnashed his teeth in anger. “Think carefully before you act, Denzel. Ask yourself if it’s really


    worth offending us for Severin’s sake. Once our men start hacking him, don’t me us if you get


    caught in the crossfire. After all, it’s easy for anyone to get wounded when weapons are at y.”
