Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 522

Diane could not help but smile bitterly as she began explaining to him. "The thing is..."

After hearing everything from Diane, Severin clenched his fists and had a murderous look in his eyes. "Novaks, you say? It was Quintus, wasn't it? I spared his life the other day, thinking he'll learn his lesson, but I guess I was wrong! He's got some guts threatening you like that!"

Diane frowned and said, "Honey, I'm worried that the Novaks will cause trouble for the Shanahans now that Wendy and Lillie beat him up to a pulp."

Severin grinned icily and said, "Hehe, they should know better than to do that. If they try to bully you again or trouble the Shanahans, I'll make sure the Novaks are wiped out in Riverson!"

After Lillie looked at the situation at the villa, she could not help but ask, "Was there a fight here?"

Kiera then said, "Yeah. A group of guys from Cherridom came to kill sir, but Abigail and I killed them all. Abigail got poisoned, though."

Wendy and Lillie were shocked to hear that.

"Why did that happen?" Diane asked. "Is she all right?"

That was when Kiera said, "Don't worry, sir has already helped her deal with it and applied some medicinal powder on the needle wound. She'll be fine by tomorrow."

Lillie then said, "But you two are warrior kings. Does that mean they're very strong? We met a couple of people from Cherridom too, but Wendy and I made light work of them and killed them all!"

"You met them too?" Severin was taken aback when he heard that. "They're probably the same group of people then. I didn't think they'd know where to look for Diane and sent someone there too!" Following a brief pause, he said somewhat fearfully, "I'm glad Wendy and Lillie were with you, otherwise I can't even begin to imagine how bad things would turn out!"

"The people from Cherridom were probably not hired by Quintus, since they came as soon as Quintus left. Do you know who they are and why they came to trouble us?" Diane looked at Severin and asked. Severin then said, "You remember Lucy, don't you? After the Loughs fell from grace, she went and found herself another man to rely on. He's a former college classmate of mine named Cain, and he became rich after going abroad some years ago. The country he went to was the Cherridom, where he joined an organization called the Slasher Gang."

When Diane heard that, she clenched her fists angrily and said, "Lucy's too cruel! You never treated her badly in the past, but she continues to target you for no good reason! Now, she even told Cain to send men over to kill you! She's the worst!"

Severin smiled bitterly and said, "She didn't instigate this though. I met her and Cain when I was at a restaurant, and they both had a swell time mocking me. Cain then sent his men to kill me, so I destroyed Cain's attainment and broke one of his legs too. I'm quite certain that he was the one who sent those men to the company earlier."

"I see! I kept wondering to myself what I did to provoke Cherridom's people!" Diane said suddenly.

Lillie then turned to Kiera. "The guys that we met weren't very strong. Why was Abigail so careless to get herself poisoned?"

Kiera then explained, "Their leader has a fairly high attainment level. He's a level nine profound master, but we managed to injure him severely. He kowtowed on the ground and begged us for mercy, and just as Abigail walked over to end his life, he suddenly launched a set of hidden needles. We were standing too close to him, and there were a lot of needles, so Abigail wasn't able to dodge one of them. It was only later that we found out that the needles were laced with poison!"

After Lillie heard that, she could not help but say, "So that's what happened. These people are despicable, and the Slasher Gang must be a tricky organization to deal with if they have members who are level nine profound masters!"
