Translator: 549690339
Inside the Pearl on the Water Hotel.
The Red Widow lay on a large bed while three doctors bustled around, examining her.
“Mr. Reed, is this lady your…”
Miguel Abbott cautiously inquired from the side.
Half an hour ago, he had received a call from Julius Reed.
Asking him to prepare a bed, a room, and three doctors.
The somewhat bewildered Miguel Abbott brought these things to Julius Reed, only to see a woman covered in blood.
For a boss of his level, there were several private doctors at his disposal.
Not only were they highly skilled, but they were also residing inside the Pearl on the Water Hotel.
As for the bed and room, there were plenty to spare in the Pearl on the Water.
Once in the room, the doctors began their hurried examination.
Watching from the side, Miguel Abbott felt a chill down to his bones.
Not to mention the woman’s excessive blood loss, the doctors extracted several dart heads from her body.
And some of the most dangerous ones had nearly punctured her heart. The doctors carefully operated, with sweat dripping constantly from their foreheads.
“An old acquaintance, just didn’t want her to die. If she really can’t be saved, I wouldn’t have any regrets,”
Julius Reed said with a smile, hands clasped behind his back.
The Red Widow was very cunning; though she was injured many times, none were lethal.
Besides, in Five-river Province, no one but Julius Reed could guarantee her safety while she was unconscious.
She appeared to be gravely injured, but she was not going to die.
“Who did this?”
Miguel Abbott couldn’t help asking.
The injuries were so severe that he had thought they couldn’t save her at first.
But under the frenzied effort of the sweating doctors, a life was ultimately snatched back from the brink.
“The Leopold Family! You might want to inquire about what happened to the Leopolds last night. I think you, Boss Abbott, would be very interested, ” Julius Reed didn’t conceal a thing.
Since Miguel Abbott had boarded his ship, there was no turning back.
In Five-river Province, he was already completely opposed to the other major players.
Although they hadn’t openly fallen out yet, it was only a matter of time.
“Go find out!”
He gestured to a bodyguard standing behind him.
The bodyguard nodded and strode out of the room.
“What kind of vendetta led her to seek death at the Leopold residence?” Miguel Abbott shook his head.
As a prominent family in Five-river Province, the Leopolds’ financial and human resources were far beyond compare.
How could this woman possibly have breached the Leopolds’ defenses single-handedly?
It seemed a miracle she hadn’t died.
“No real vendetta, she was shot by a Leopold yesterday while chatting with me. Temper got the best of her, and she went straight over for revenge. I couldn’t stop her,”
Julius Reed said with a sense of helplessness.
Her attempt at revenge was unsuccessful, and now she had become his problem.
“It’s good that she’s alive,”
Miguel Abbott shook his head.
Such rash behavior.
Before long, the bodyguard returned to the room and whispered in his ear.
“What!”
Miguel Abbott’s face changed dramatically, “Are you sure about this news?”
“No mistake! This news is already well-known, only we were unaware! The intelligence networks within the circle had wind of this since last night,” the bodyguard answered in a low tone.
“Alright, you can leave,”
Miguel Abbott’s expression shifted, and finally, he turned to Julius Reed, “Last night, the Leopold Family suffered an attack by a Shadow Warrior. The casualties were severe, and that Shadow Warrior even made it to the villa’s doorstep, less than ten meters from Atlas Leopold!”
When the bodyguard spoke these words, he could hardly believe them.
Who would dare to strike at the Leopold villa?
But hearing about the severe casualties, he found it even more incredible.
Armed with nothing but a single weapon, one man was able to make the Leopold Family apprehensive!
“I had known that much already.”
Julius Reed calmly responded.
The person involved had already told him everything, did he need someone else to repeat it?
“That’s incredible! Is it the person right here?”
Miguel Abbott’s heart stirred with emotion.
His earlier disdain had turned into admiration and fear in just a fleeting moment.
Now, when he looked at the woman on the bed, his gaze had changed somewhat.
“Let me correct you!”
Julius Reed turned his head, looking at Miguel Abbott, “It wasn’t ten meters, it was five meters.”
The Red Widow had said so herself, there could be no mistake.
“This…”
Miguel Abbott was completely stunned.
What kind of monster was the other party to have gone alone and faced Atlas Leopold?
Five meters was practically face to face.
“Let’s go!”
After watching the doctor finish the surgery, Julius Reed left the room with Miguel Abbott.
The elevator went straight down to the first floor.
“Mr. Reed, about the person upstairs…”
Miguel Abbott’s mind was filled with the scene of the Red Widow storming into the Leopold villa.
It was too thrilling!
“It’s alright, once she’s healed, she will leave on her own. Now, you’re coming with me to Willson Building.”
Julius Reed wanted to see how well Truman Ridge had handled things.
“Willson Building?”
Miguel Abbott was obviously taken aback.
“That’s the most bustling area in Five-river Province, many people want to buy it, but they can’t get it. I don’t know who bought the Willson Building back then, but to this day it’s still vacant.”
He spoke with regret, “It’s such a waste, just think, even if it was just rented out, the annual rent would be a large amount of money! But many years have passed, and there’s been no action there. I wonder if the person who bought the building is dead, or not in this world.”
Businessmen surely value profitability.
Yet the Willson Building, such a bustling office tower in the prime location of Five-river Province, remains unsold.
Not even rented out.
The evaporation of huge sums of money every year would pain anyone, wouldn’t it?
“If it was really for sale, would you buy it?” While chatting, Julius Reed got into his Mercedes.
“My! With the current land prices, I truly can’t afford it!”
Miguel Abbott said jokingly.
If he really wanted to buy, he could afford it.
But after the purchase, there wouldn’t be much money left.
It was the same for the other tycoons in Five-river Province.
Sometimes, when these people got together, they would occasionally discuss the Willson Building.
The Mercedes started slowly and gradually headed towards the Willson Building.
“Brother Reed, I recently heard something.”
Miguel Abbott drove the car himself, heading for the Willson Building while speaking to Julius Reed, “According to inside information, the owner of the Willson Building is about to make an appearance. And it seems they intend to establish their own company!”
He had previously heard rumors, and now that Julius Reed mentioned the Willson Building, he elaborated a bit more.
“What do you think? If the other party really starts a company, will it have a future?”
Sitting in the Mercedes, Julius Reed asked calmly.
“With all due respect!”
Miguel Abbott huffed slightly, “The landscape of Five-river Province is set in stone, anyone else who dares to come here would absolutely be chased out with their tail between their legs. After years of struggle, every power standing in the limelight is deeply entrenched. Can any outsider hoping to make a move really outfight the local snakes?”
No matter what kind of company, as soon as it tries to set up in Five-river Province, it would face the encirclement of the major enterprises.
The current situation is hard to break.
If it weren’t so, the ambitious Miguel Abbott wouldn’t have thrown his lot in with Julius Reed, trying to be a game-changer.
“Five-river Province has been quiet for too long, it’s time for a change of weather!”
Julius Reed said in a soft voice..
