That middle-aged man was Lance York, an elder of the Hillguard Gang who had always liked Rachel


    and wanted to win her heart. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to do so. Later on, he was so


    heartbroken after learning that Rachel was forced to marry Horus that got drunk several times alone.


    His Hillguard Gang was strong enough to face Serpent Hall, but he could not do anything after learning.


    about Rachel’s forced marriage because their gang could never be a match for South County Mansion.


    Moreover, he was just an elder, and their gang leader would never have allowed the gang to make an


    enemy out of the county mansion for the sake of a woman that their elder fell for.


    A few days ago, when he heard that the grand-elder of the South County Mansion had been killed and


    the wedding was called off, he became extremely excited and was filled with a glimmer of hope.


    Then, he came to know that another more important piece of news-the Neelys, who were the current


    leaders of South County Mansion, had been killed in Brookbourn, and a new person would be


    appointed to head the county mansion. He was relieved to hear that, and although he did not know who


    could have done something like that, he was still very much grateful to the person behind Mason’s and


    Horus’s deaths.


    “Mister Lance, do you think these people might have stolen Hall Master Rachel’s car? She won’t show


    up at this sort of ce, and she wouldn’t have allowed anyone else to drive it either. This is her favorite


    car, and she drives it all the time!” a young man said to Lance after some thought.


    Lance was over the moon when he heard that, because he never had a chance to get close to Rachel


    despite liking her so much. If he could apprehend those two car thieves, he could then bring the car


    back to Rachel along with the two thieves. Once he returned it to her, she would be so grateful to him


    that she might even treat him to dinner as a show of gratitude.


    With that idea in mind, Lance smiled slightly and said, “This is perfect! These two car thieves must be


    bold to steal Hall Master Rachel’s car like that! Let’s make them pay!” He then waved his hand at the


    end of his sentence and led his men over to stop Severin and Diane.


    When Severin was stopped, he frowned and was a little lost for words. South Link City was so far away


    from Brookbourn that it made no sense for anyone there to know who he was, and he could not have


    offended anyone when he had just arrived there that day!


    Therefore, he was a little confused to see the seven people in front of him act so hostile toward him.


    “Think you can leave?” One guy smiled deviously and said, “Hehe, it’s not going to be that easy! You


    didn’t think we’d catch you here, did you?”


    Severin said to the person, “If memory serves me right, I’ve never met any of you before! What do you


    want from me?”


    A big bald man stepped forward with a grin. “Don’t act stupid, kid. Where’d you steal that car from,


    huh?


    Do


    you


    know whose car it belongs to? This car belongs to the head of Serpent Hall! You must be insane to


    think that you can steal her car!”


    Severin then said in confoundment, “Hehe, so you’re members of Serpent Hall, then? This has been a


    big misunderstanding. I’m new to South Link City and I haven’t had the time to buy a car, so your hall


    master gave it to me for my convenience in going around town!”


    “Gave it to you?” Lance frowned and soon sneered again. “You’re quite something, kid. I’m surprised


    you could lie without batting an eye! All of us here know that Hall Master Rachel drives this car often.


    It’s her favorite, and since she has plenty of cars, she could have easily given one of those to you


    instead of this one. Who the hell are you anyway? Why would a beautiful woman like her just give away


    her car to you?”

    Severin pulled a long face. He never expected the other person to look down on him and be so rude to


    him too! He sneered. “Watch what you say, pal. You probably don’t know who I am yet, but if you


    weren’t a member of Serpent Hall, you would be half dead on the ground right about now!”


    Lance’s men burst out inughter as if they just heard the funniest joke in the world.
