Julius Reed had not expected that after waiting half a day, he would encounter someone he knew.
The Red Widow was highly skilled.
While she couldn’t kill Atlas Leopold, she could at least serve as a warning to the Leopold Family.
Looking at the bright moon above, he shook his head and disappeared into the streets.
By tonight, news of his presence in Five-river Province would spread throughout Gonzalez City.
The Shadow Warriors in the city would immediately rush back.
At the same time, the Shadow Warriors in Five-river Province would start to make meticulous arrangements.
Half an hour later, he appeared in a villa on the outskirts.
“Young Master!”
The guards bowed their heads upon seeing Julius Reed.
After passing through nearly a hundred bodyguards, he entered the first floor of the villa.
At that moment, an old man was sitting inside.
It was none other than Truman Ridge, the very grandfather of the previously injured Finnian Ridge.
“Young Master!”
Upon seeing Julius Reed, Truman Ridge bowed deeply, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Your grandson is not fit to inherit the Ridge Family. If you do not have a suitable candidate, it’s better to return to your former life.”
Julius Reed sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and casually picked up a newspaper from the coffee table.
“Understood ! ”
Relieved by these words, Truman Ridge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Julius Reed mentioned Finnian Ridge was not suitable to inherit the family, it meant the Ridge Family’s existence was still tacitly acknowledged.
A grandson can be born again.
But the vast family business had cost the Ridge Family countless people’s hard work and effort.
To be able to keep this enterprise, Truman Ridge was already very content.
“I hear that the Leopold Family is planning something recently, does the Young Master imply…”
He asked quietly.
If Julius Reed nodded, he could use all means necessary to beat the Leopold Family into submission.
“Your information network is still quite efficient,” Julius Reed said with a light chuckle, shaking his head, “You need not interfere with this matter. My visit to Five-river Province is to establish a company, a corporation powerful enough to make everyone in Five-river Province submit, to build a true commercial aircraft carrier!”
He was going to protect Quella Radcliffe and establish his own public business empire.
At least with this empire as support, many things would be easier to handle.
“I will follow all of the Young Master’s commands!”
Truman Ridge dared not pry into Julius Reed’s affairs.
All he needed to do was to take care of the tasks dictated by the Young Master. “Starting tomorrow, start planning a corporation. The name will be…”
Julius Reed rubbed his head, somewhat unsure of what name to choose.
This was to be a corporation with special significance, and he did not want to be hasty about it.
“You go ahead and start planning, for now, I haven’t thought of a good name.”
“Rest assured, Young Master, just outline the specifics, and in just a week, I can have it built for you!”
Truman Ridge nodded, taking a contract out from behind him.
“The contract for the landmark building in the most prosperous area of
Five-river Province is right here. The Willson Building!”
“The Willson Building?”
Julius Reed took the contract, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, it was a landmark building in Five-river Province.
Even from a great distance, that building was visible.
The entire building, like an unsheathed sword, pointed straight to the heavens!
“I didn’t expect it to be in your hands.”
The reason he had kept Truman Ridge around was that he trusted his ability to handle matters.
Aside from the issue with Finnian Ridge, Truman Ridge was an extremely perfect candidate.
After this incident, the Ridge family would surely be much more restrained.
“I knew the Young Master would eventually emerge, so many years ago, I bought this Willson Building, to hold for you!”
Truman Ridge wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It seemed that, for today, he had safely navigated the ordeal.
Ever since the incident involving Finnian Ridge, he had been walking on thin ice and seemed to have aged a great deal overnight.
Now having been forgiven by Julius Reed, he felt the weight on his shoulders disappear instantly.
“Hurry and get things done, I’ll have one last good sleep here! Starting from tomorrow, Five-river Province might not be so peaceful.”
After Julius Reed said this, he strode upstairs to the villa, closed the door, and went to bed.
The next morning, Truman Ridge had already left the villa. But before he left, he arranged for someone to prepare breakfast.
“Saint, did you sleep well?”
After receiving the report from his staff, he called Julius Reed who was downstairs.
“These bodyguards of yours might not stand up to much, but they still have some combat prowess. Last night, there were three assassination attempts, the latest of which got to the villa entrance, but your men pushed them back.
Truman Ridge, I do admire your ability.”
Even while sleeping, Julius Reed remained extremely vigilant.
Last night, a total of three groups had tracked them to the villa; two of which didn’t last long before they were killed by gunfire.
The last group was clearly a team of Shadow Warriors.
They were well-trained, reaching the villa entrance through tight coordination.
But in the end, they were repelled by the combat personnel inside the villa and were all killed on the villa’s outskirts.
“That’s what I should do! Saint, I’ve already notified the major groups to create momentum for our company’s establishment!”
Truman Ridge’s voice came through from the other end.
Clearly, he had been busy with this matter and was personally handling it. “Alright! I’ll skip breakfast, I should be heading out! Otherwise, those folks will have no chance to assassinate me.”
After saying this, Julius Reed hung up the phone and strode out of the villa.
Although the scene had been cleaned up, signs of the battle were still present.
At the villa’s entrance, the shrubs still bore traces of dried blood.
After walking out of the villa, Julius Reed didn’t take a car, but instead walked leisurely down the street, hands clasped behind his back.
This villa was located in the suburbs, where few people passed by.
But still, there were people jogging on the street early in the morning.
Only, the pace of this jogger…
Julius Reed squinted his eyes, watching the elderly man running towards him.
The running stride of the ordinary folks and that of special forces were entirely different matters.
That professionally trained step was immediately recognizable.
Beside the old man was also a Teddy dog.
The Teddy dog, upon seeing Julius Reed, came running over frantically.
“Tintin, come back!”
The old man saw his dog running off and quickly called out to it. But the Teddy dog didn’t listen at all and ran straight towards Julius Reed.
“Young man, my dog doesn’t bite, don’t be afraid!”
The old man shouted loudly, quickening his pace.
But a strong intuition told Julius Reed that something was definitely wrong!
He just ran a few steps quickly, heading towards the Teddy dog, and with a kick, sent the dog flying into the air!
Boom!
The kick was powerful, and the Teddy dog exploded with a loud noise less than five meters into the air!
Clearly, someone had planted a bomb within the dog!
Julius Reed rolled with the momentum, avoiding the rain of poison from the explosion!
And the old man who was running a moment ago, now had a dart appear in his hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His previously benevolent expression changed, revealing a murderous look in his eyes!
“As expected, no good deed comes from a visitor with ill intentions!”
Julius Reed stamped his foot and suddenly disappeared behind a large tree.
But the old man didn’t give up, instead, he changed his angle and continued to shoot!
Eventually.
After several darts were fired, he walked towards the tree with a frown.
“Hey! Looking for me?”
Just then, a voice rang out from behind the old man.
‘You!” Click!
Before the old man could react, Julius Reed snapped his forearm!
