Chapter 57
Blade was elated to hear that and immediately said, “Oh yeah! Why didn’t I think of that? Our supreme leader is here, so there’s nothing for us to fear if he’s willing to help us!”
“Correct!” Larry nodded. “I believe, there must be something extraordinarily unique about him, else he wouldn’t have become the leader of the twelve halls!” He then ordered, “Go forth and find out where he lives! It’s too late now, but we can bring our men to visit him tomorrow or the day after! Do be aware that our supreme leader is our divine existence. Mind your words all the time and avoid angering him at all costs!”
Elsewhere, Severin was driving along the road when he spotted a restaurant that was rather tastefully decorated. He decided that they should have dinner there. As soon as they got out of the car and saw the restaurant’s decor from a distance, Judith frowned and whispered to Maurice, “This place looks super expensive…”
Maurice at Severin and Diane who were walking up ahead. “I think it’s for the best if you don’t bring that up. I’m guessing that the clothes Severin bought for us today are just as expensive, otherwise, he would not have only eighty-five thousand dollars left from that hundred-and-ninety thousand that he demanded from the Orwells. The car must be expensive too, and I’m guessing that it’s around ten thousand dollars!”
Judith gasped in surprise and had to stop herself from letting out a terrified cry. She could tell that the clothes were expensive because of how good the quality was, but she did not think much of it then. When she thought about it again, she could already feel a chill down her spine.
When Maurice saw that Judith was about to let out a cry, Maurice hurriedly covered her mouth and then said, “Diane suffered for five years. She deserves to get the good things in life. It’s also Severin’s
first time treating her and Selene to a meal. Just close one eye if it’s expensive. Don’t make too big of a fuss when the food arrives, okay? Make sure you stay calm.”
Judith nodded, and Maurice finally let go of her hand.
“Sigh, the gap between the rich and the poor is simply too big. Diane comes from an upper-class family, and I feel like our son just isn’t good enough for her!” Judith lamented. “But that doesn’t. change the fact that she’s a good woman. She raised Selene all by herself without telling us, and she even helped us despite having a difficult life. Severin needs to treat her well from now on!”
“I think he’s already mature enough to know that this is the path he’s chosen.” Maurice smiled slightly.
“Grandpa! Grandma! Hurry up!” Selene ran to the door of the restaurant and turned around to urge Maurice and Judith.
“Okay! We’ll be right there!” Maurice answered excitedly.
“Selene is such a good girl! She’s so adorable!” Judith said with a smile.
When they came to the restaurant, Severin led them to a table by the window and sat down.
“Welcome, sir! Here’s the menu!” A waitress came over and handed the menu to Severin. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Severin took a look at the dishes on it, and could not help but frown. The cheapest dishes cost nearly a hundred dollars, while the more expensive ones were in the hundreds. As for the red wine, the price range was about a thousand to four thousand dollars per bottle. Such prices would have scared him five years ago, but he now felt that it was a tiny sum compared to the dizzying number contained in the bank card.
“Order whatever you want, honey!” Severin put the menu on the table and said to Diane.
Judith could tell that the decorations there were quite exquisite. There was a stage with a piano not too far away, and a pianist had been hired to play some music. It was normal, then, for her to worry that the food there was too expensive.
