LIFE AFTER PRISON - Season 7 Episode 27

The elders promptly entered the house.

The second elder looked at Cain’s leg, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks for all your trouble, Cain.”

Cain could only smile awkwardly as he replied, “It’s no trouble. I might have left the gang, but I’ll always be one of you. Serving the gang is a just move!” He was well aware that he could not leave Brookbourn because doing so would make him a deserter in the Slasher Gang’s eyes, and the gang would send people over to hunt him down and kill him. As a result, his only recourse was to hide while waiting for the Slasher Gang’s people to come and exact revenge.

Even so, he felt that he had made the right choice because his goal was to see Severin dead after Severin crippled him so terribly.

“I should be thanking you for all the trouble! Let’s rest for now. We can set the plan in motion tomorrow,” Cain suggested after some thought.

Lucy then immediately reminded him, “Are you going to let them stay in this sort of place? Let’s bring them to our villa. We don’t need to be afraid of Severin anymore now that the elders are all here!” She had been thinking about moving back for quite some time already, since she was fed up with having to live in that temporary house.

“You’re right! Let’s go to our villa first, and then we’ll go out to have a good meal!” Cain nodded immediately and brought everyone away.

Severin was feeling a little bored, so he spent some time reading the alchemy manual alone in the courtyard. Although they were written in great detail, he did not dare to try it before he was fully

proficient

in it.

“Brother-in-Law!” A beautiful woman then showed up out of nowhere after going in through the gate.

When Severin saw that it was Megan, he immediately put away the book and asked, “What brings you here today? It’s been a long time since I entrusted you with that task. Did you manage to get it for me?”

“Hehe!” Megan chuckled and took out the jade pendant that Severin had asked her to steal. She handed it to him and said, “I sneaked into my mother’s room last night while she was taking a shower, and did a switcheroo!”

“A switcheroo?” Severin looked at Megan with a frown.

Megan smiled and said, “Yeah! Isn’t it important for us to be more careful in these situations? I found a jade pendant that looked the same as the Ballards’ heirloom and switched them. That way, my mom wouldn’t suspect that it had been replaced.”

Severin’s eyes lit up after hearing that. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to be so sly! Don’t worry about the hundred and fifty thousand that I promised you! You’ll get it soon.” Severin said as he reached out to get the jade pendant from Megan’s hand.

However, Megan took two steps back and said, “That’s not enough.”

Severin’s face soured and he said to Megan, “I might not lack money, but don’t you think it’s unreasonable for you to raise the price that we already agreed on?”

Megan explained with a smile, “That’s not what I meant. We agreed that I’ll help you steal the jade pendant in exchange for a hundred and fifty thousand, and I never intended to ask for more money from you. But I did spend nearly two thousand to get a good quality counterfeit to switch with the original. You’ll reimburse me for that, won’t you?”

“Oh, so that’s what this is about!” Severin was stunned for a moment. He then took out his cell phone, transferred a-hundred-and-fifty-two-thousand dollars to her, and said, “I just transferred the amount plus some extra money to reimburse you. Promise me you won’t let Mom know about it, okay? I’m sure she’d be unhappy if she finds out!”

“Thanks, Brother-in-Law!”
