"This is the end for the Neelys, I suppose. Our status will be reduced to that of an ordinary family.

Following the death of the current governor, a new person must be elected to become the new governor. It's not a position that can be inherited!"

The second elder looked at Yoel pitifully and said, "If the Neelys are no longer the governor, I'm afraid that some of the connections we made in the past won't be useful anymore. Some of the families and forces decided to associate themselves with us based on the sole fact that your father was the governor!"

However, Yoel felt incredibly relieved and said with a faint smile, "It's fine. Even if we're no longer South County Mansion, we can still be regarded as a second-tier family in South Link City as long as the elders are still around. At our worst, we're just slightly inferior to some of the first-tier families!"

"I'm glad that you can accept this with an open heart. Severin is the kind of person that no one can afford to offend. Don't bother thinking about avenging your elder brother and father. All we can do is deal with the loss and move on!" the fourth elder reminded Yoel after pondering briefly over what happened.

"Don't worry. I'm well aware of that. It's time we head back to South Link City!" Yoel forced a smile as he said to the elders.

At that moment, the celebrations at the roof of the Bloomington Hotel were in full swing, and the Shanahans were all happy because they had earned the right to be proud.

"See that? I told you not to offend Severin. I was right, wasn't I? It's incredible that he turned out to be the war gods' master!" George commented while drinking with Stanley.

Stanley smiled and said, "I get it, Dad. I couldn't care less about what happened in the past. I'm a famous Internet celebrity now, and I can spend my days having fun while making a lot of money every month. This is the kind of life I want, and I couldn't be bothered about securing any of the Shanahans' assets anymore. It'd be even better if they get richer and more powerful. Receiving even a small slice of the pie from them after they've reached the zenith is so much better than whatever happened in the past!"

"Haha, glad that you have it all figured out!" George looked relieved and could not help but jest, "Guess we have to appreciate that we lost the bet with Severin and had to do that streaking. You wouldn't have. become an internet celebrity if that hadn't happened!"

"You're right, haha! I really should thank him!" Stanley laughed, and said to George again, "Your fans are growing in number too, Dad. They've reached several million already!"

George laughed contentedly too. "Hahaha, it's not too bad. I just didn't expect to gain so many fans in one day!"

"By the way, now that the current governor is dead, the selection process for the next leader will have to begin. The entire thing is a darn headache!" Calum lamented after drinking for some time. After all, the south county was within his jurisdiction, he had the final say over who to designate as the successor.

Upon Hearing his comment, Catherine's eyes lit up immediately and she could not resist suggesting to Calum, "Mister Calum, our family might not be that strong yet, but there's no question on Severins. strength. He is a very capable person, and I believe he is the perfect fit to become the governor!"

Severin was speechless, for he did not expect Catherine to blatantly offer up that suggestion simply for the sake of improving her family's position.

When Calum heard that, he laughed. "Haha, he is undeniably suited for the job. Heck, I could even get the king to bestow upon him the title of a war god if that's what our master wants! Unfortunately, he doesn't seem interested in becoming the governor!"
