“Speak! Who sent you?”
Julius Reed’s foot was planted on the man’s back as he asked coldly.
He had just broken the old man’s two arms.
Now, his opponent had no ability to resist at all.
“Hah! I didn’t expect you to be so formidable! It seems I really underestimated you!”
The old man let out a long sigh, yet a smile crept across his lips.
“Have you ever heard of a ‘dead soldier’?”
He turned his head and stared straight at Julius Reed.
“Before coming here, I never intended on leaving alive!”
Seeing this, Julius Reed’s eyebrows tightened!
He retreated hastily several steps, instantly hiding behind a tree!
Boom!
The moment he dodged, the poison pack on the old man’s body immediately exploded!
“Trying to play tough with me!”
Julius Reed dusted off his clothes, his anger slowly rising.
It was a good thing he’d recovered his memory.
Otherwise, anyone else would have had no chance to escape under the double poison pack.
After walking down the path for a while, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Water Pearl.
Elize Yarrow was still with Octavius, and he had to see for himself to be at ease. He had thought that leaving Quella Radcliffe in Gonzalez City would save him a lot of trouble.
But now it seemed that trouble couldn’t be avoided at all.
Because you simply don’t know where the next trouble will come from.
Upon arriving at the Water Pearl, he went straight to the top floor.
Since it was early morning, the restaurant was virtually empty.
The only people bustling around in the hotel were a bunch of waitstaff.
The moment Julius Reed entered the elevator, a waiter on the first floor whispered into a headset to report.
The action was very stealthy, but it still didn’t escape Julius Reed’s ears. Ever since his memory returned, his bodily functions had been enhanced.
“Mr. Reed!”
When the elevator door opened, he was greeted by Octavius.
Upon receiving the news, the boss had immediately come to the top floor.
Now that he had chosen his side, he had to be thorough.
“Your waiter downstairs is troublesome.”
After saying this, Julius Reed turned and pushed open the doors to the private room.
“I understand!”
Upon hearing this, Octavius’s expression darkened.
“Allen ! ”
“Here!”
The Western man walked over with long strides.
“Search the rooms of all the staff immediately, and if you find anything suspicious, take them down right away!”
Octavius took a deep breath.
He hadn’t noticed a problem with a waiter in his own restaurant.
“Understood ! ”
Allen nodded and went downstairs with several bodyguards.
In the private room, Julius Reed didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Elize Yarrow had no idea how much she had drunk the night before; she was still completely reeking of alcohol.
After getting drunk, she had laid down on the plush carpet and fallen into a deep sleep.
“The life of the rich is really something! ”
Seeing this, Julius Reed couldn’t help but sigh.
When he stayed at Quella’s place, he often slept on the floor too.
That was normal for a son-in-law living at the bride’s home.
After all, having a place to sleep was considered a blessing, and he was content not to be thrown out.
Back then, the floor was icy cold.
Looking at the private room now, the plush carpet was far superior to many people’s beds.
But as comfortable as it was, it was still something to be stepped on.
“Hey, wake up!”
Julius Reed crouched down, continuously patting Elize Yarrow’s cheek.
Even with such distance, he could still smell the alcohol emanating from Elize Yarrow.
How much did she drink last night?
Gazing at the countless bottles on the table, Julius Reed shook his head.
For someone so young, it was indeed tough on her.
“Mr. Reed, last night she was all by herself, laughing and then crying, waking up just to sigh, and falling asleep after drinking,”
Miguel Abbott explained from nearby.
Since Julius Reed had entrusted Elize Yarrow to him, it was his responsibility to take care of her.
Fortunately, the girl had only drunk alcohol and hadn’t done anything else.
“Ding-ding-ling!”
Just then, Elize Yarrow’s phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed Simeon Kensington.
Watching Elize Yarrow show no sign of reacting, Julius Reed shook his head and answered the call.
“Elize! I heard you were out all night with that man, dressed in a bunny girl costume. Is that true or not?! It’s all over Five-river Province now, saying that you’ve put a big, big green hat on Atlas Leopold!”
As soon as the call connected, Simeon Kensington could not wait to ask.
The two were very close friends, so there was no restraint in their speech.
“It’s surprising, really! You’ve never had a serious boyfriend before, you haven’t even held hands with someone of the opposite sex, and yet you’ve done something so bold! I didn’t believe it when someone told me, but after a lot of friends said the same, I realized it was true!”
Before getting a response from the other end, Simeon Kensington asked again, “What did your family say? With such a scandal, I’m worried that your father will beat you to death!”
“She’s asleep,”
Julius Reed said this and then, disregarding Simeon Kensington, who was still not following, hung up the phone.
“Damn! Elize Yarrow, you’re ruthless!”
On the other end of the line, Simeon Kensington, who was stunned, looked at the phone and a weird expression emerged on his face.
It seemed everything was true.
Suddenly, Simeon Kensington felt some sympathy for Atlas Leopold. Being one of the Four Young Masters, to be cuckolded like that!
“Boss, we’ve found them! There were three in total!”
After the door to the private room was pushed open, Allen led the bodyguards and brought in three waiters tied up. “This is what we found!”
He threw a plastic bag onto the table.
Inside were listening devices, pagers, and several cell phones designed for seniors.
“I checked the call logs, they’ve only been in contact with one person, and there are also some text messages!”
Allen took out one of the senior cell phones from the plastic bag and showed the text messages to Miguel Abbott.
The texts were simple, just some basic numbers.
But, given the recent circumstances, Miguel Abbott immediately inferred that it was Julius Reed’s travel schedule.
Even Miguel Abbott’s own travel records had all been meticulously logged.
“Who made you do it!”
He threw the cell phone in front of the three waiters and asked coldly as he squatted down.
“Boss, I really don’t know what you’re talking about,”
One waiter looked at his two companions before speaking.
Seeing the look from their colleague, the other two also shook their heads, protesting their innocence.
“Boss, we have no idea why these things are here,”
“Truthfully! We’re just honest workers, we have no clue what you’re asking about!”
These people were adamant that they were not involved, which made it difficult for Miguel Abbott.
“Let me do it.”
Julius Reed, who had been watching the whole time, walked over to the head waiter and asked, “Young man, would you like to confess truthfully?”
“Sorry, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The waiter looked up briefly and then lowered his head again, avoiding Julius’s gaze.
“Tough mouth you’ve got there!”
Julius Reed laughed as he stood up and, without warning, stomped on the waiter’s toes!
“Ahh!”
The pain shot through his body as the waiter’s foot was almost completely shattered.
He cried out in agony, his body starting to shake.
“Too late, you can shut up now!”
Julius Reed did not accept his plea but instead stepped down again, crippling the waiter’s other foot.
“Please, just kill me quickly!”
The waiter screamed miserably.
