Chapter 572

"Mess?" Gracie nearly fainted after hearing that and asked Severin, "What do you mean 'mess'? Equus Hall will be the most powerful gang in Brookton from tonight onward. Do you need money, Supreme Leader? We can give you money every year! Just tell us what you need and we'll be able to provide it to you! Equus Hall is yours, after all!"

Severin smiled wryly and said, "I don't need money. In my eyes, money is just a number and an external object. The previous supreme leader gave me more than enough money to spend. I could easily buy the entire city of Brookton if I wanted!"

Gracie gasped when she heard that because that was a very huge sum of money-cold hard cash instead of the value of many assets. The money that Severin had was essentially capital and cash flow. "Why did you call this a mess, though? My dad said that there would be twelve halls named according to the oriental zodiac. Collectively, we're a very powerful force. Aren't you the least bit interested in us?" Gracie looked bafflingly at the young man in front of her. She had never been as curious about someone as she did with the mysterious supreme leader who appeared out of nowhere.

Severin merely smiled wryly and said, "Firstly, I'm not very interested in these things, and I just want to live a comfortable life. Secondly, when the old man gave me this ring, he asked me to find the halls, but he didn't tell me which cities these twelve halls are located in! It's a pain in the neck to find."

As he said that, he paused for a bit and continued, "I got lucky this time and found one here though, so now it's a total of three halls. The first is Brookbourn's Draco Hall, the second is Riverson's Mus Hall, and the third is your Equus Hall."

"Hehe, I see!" Gracie could not help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard that. "My father said. that the old man who established Equus Hall had a strange personality, so it seems that he's just teasing. you!"

Severin smiled and said, "Yeah, he is a playful person at heart, but he's a nice guy! And besides, I wouldn't be where I am today without him!" A sudden thought occurred to Severin and he asked, "Where's your father, by the way? Why didn't he come here with you?"

The smile on Gracie's face disappeared in an instant and she became a little sentimental. "My father left me a few years ago. Cancer took his life. I was thrust into becoming the leader of Equus Hall, and I was forced to grit my teeth and hang on until today!" Gracie then shook away her sadness and deliberately forced a smile to say, "But it's not too bad though. I'm glad that you showed up and helped me solve such a huge issue at a time when I was on the verge of collapse. I don't know how else to thank you. I usually gave money to those who helped me, but you don't seem to need money that much!" Gracie then bit her red lips as a blush appeared on her face and she said half-jokingly, "Well, if you don't want money, then how about I repay your kindness by pledging to give my heart to you?"

Severin was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands to say, "No, no, no, no...don't! I can't do that. I have a wife and a daughter!"

"Haha!" Gracie could not resist laughing and saying, "Scared you, didn't I? I was just kidding!" She then punched Severin's chest softly like they were the best of friends.

"By the way, if you have the time, could you help me be on the lookout for the other halls like Sus Hall, Gallus Hall, or something of the sort? Let me know as soon as you have word of them, because they're one of our halls too!" Severin decided to ask for her help.

"Hehe!" After Gracie heard that, she could not help but laugh again. "I was a little ashamed when they made fun of Equus Hall as Ick-A's Hall, but now that I think about it, Sus Hall and Gallus Hall might be

even easier for people to make fun of! Hahah!

Severin could not help but laugh too. "Haha, that old man is a real joker! Seeing all the halls named after these Latin animal names left me utterly speechless!"
