Everyone on the mayor’s side was startled. “The Mount de Gang is a strong force,” Hamish


    reminded.


    Richard immediately said, “Do you need our help?”


    “We can help too!” Hamish echoed to show his loyalty.


    Severin refused with a smile. “Don’t bother. I can go alone. There’s no need to kill too many people.


    The gang will crumble if their gang leader and a few of their strongest elders are dead.”


    “But they will have a lot of property and assets left behind if their gang crumbles! They are involved in


    plenty of different industries!” Richard seemed to have thought of something, and he wanted to see if


    he could reap some benefits.


    Severin looked at Richard, and then at Hamish.


    Credit was due to Hamish for finding out about Canis Hall, so he thought for a moment before saying,


    Well, you might not be able to handle everything if you take over all the assets, and you might even be


    in danger by the time I leave. You and the Wymount City Mansion can split whatever assets left behind


    equally.”


    “Thank you, Mister Severin!” Hamish was ecstatic to hear that and immediately nodded in respect.


    “Yes, thank you, Mister Severin!” Richard was also quite happy too. After all, it was a good bargain.


    That way, the Maddocks will be able to make progress and be a first-tier family. Severin’s decision


    to let them split the assets with Wymount City Mansion is-in Richard’s view-the correct approach. With


    the Maddocks and Wymount City Mansion sharing the spoils, any other forces would be led to assumeBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    that the Maddocks would be under the protection of the mayor. That would deter them from causing


    trouble with the Maddocks.


    Severin smiled and said, “Okay then. Can someone bring me there? I know where their headquarters


    are.” “No problem, Mister Severin. We’ll bring you there right away,” Hamish said immediately.


    “Yes, we shall!” The mayor’s two elders nodded one after another with beaming smiles. Severin then


    said, “Just wait for me outside when we get there!”


    They soon arrived at a vi area where several bodiesy strewn on the ground.


    “Who the hell did this and killed my right-hand man?” The leader of the Mount de Gang looked at


    the corpses on the ground and clenched his fists in anger. The four other men who were killed along


    with the gang’s second-inmand were all very strong members too.


    “I’ve already sent someone to investigate the matter. I’m sure we’ll be able to find out who did it!” The


    second elder clenched his fist angrily too.


    The other elders were also fuming.


    Unexpectedly, Vinn-their leader-said with a frown, “I think we shouldn’t pursue this any further.”
