Chapter 155
As soon as Severin ended the call, Judith stepped forward anxiously and asked, “How did it go? Is Larry coming?”
Severin smiled. “It’ll be fine, Mom. I helped him in the morning, didn’t I? He’ll be here!”
Judith breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Severin’s assurance.
“Keep bragging, kid! You have only one hour. If he doesn’t come by then, you’ll be in for a treat!” Manuel smiled coldly and did not believe Severin’s words at all.
Severin paid him no mind and walked to one side to smoke a cigarette.
“Look, Stanley. I bet Severin is smoking because he wants to relieve his anxiety right now!” Maryam walked up to Stanley and whispered to him.
Stanley nodded. “You’re right. He must be the kind who wants to smoke whenever he gets a little nervous. Doesn’t he know who Larry is? This is Draco Hall’s big shot we’re talking about! Why would Larry even entertain him?”
Time ticked by, and by the ten-minute mark, a few cars drove over and parked at the gate. Many of Draco Hall’s men then came down from the vehicles.
That being said, the Chavezes did not dare to offend such forces on a whim, because it would end up being a cruel and merciless fight if it came to that.
“Haha, it’s worth my trip!” Larry smiled again, but he felt a little helpless because Severin did not. let them reveal his identity. Therefore, he needed to find an excuse as to why he came. After giving it some thought, he said again, “Mister Severin is very skilled in medicine. He treated my mother’s stubborn illness and is my benefactor. Her illness isn’t completely cured yet, and it only improved a little compared to before. I would very much appreciate your help to prescribe some medications to her so that she might recuperate better, Mister Severin!”
Severin walked over and played along politely as he said to Larry, “I’m really sorry you had to come all this way, Hall Master Larry!”
“Haha, you’re too polite!” Larry laughed.
