When the sound of the door echoed, everyone’s gaze was instantly drawn to it.
“It’s you!”
Upon seeing who was at the door, Atlas Leopold’s pupils shrank drastically, and he became visibly unsettled.
Because it was none other than his worst nightmare, Julius Reed.
After being humiliated at the Pearl on the Water, he had immediately dispatched a Shadow Warrior.
Yet not only had all the men he sent out died, but he had also been attacked!
The Shadow Warrior had even managed to reach him; if not for the intervention of a Deep Cold Shadow Warrior, he would likely be dead by now.
As for that Shadow Warrior, they probably lay dead somewhere on the road already.
After all, shot multiple times and bleeding profusely.
Moreover, through the connections of the Leopold Family, he had confirmed that not a single hospital in the city held any record of that female Shadow Warrior.
With injuries that severe, avoiding a hospital spelled only certain death.
“Indeed, it’s me.”
Behind Julius Reed, stood Allen and members of the Abbott Family.
“Fate really does make enemies cross paths!”
In his mind, Atlas Leopold suddenly felt as if he had been duped and deceived.
If he had known Julius Reed was here, he would have never come!
Facing such a devil without a well-thought-out plan to deal with him wasn’t this just courting death?
But now, he only had one employee in front of him.
That was far from enough!
“Did you hit him?”
Julius Reed looked at Nathan Abbott.
At that moment, Nathan Abbott was being pressed against the wall, his neck squeezed by a bodyguard. Although he couldn’t speak, he still managed to nod vigorously.
“That’s good!”
After getting the answer, Julius Reed appeared quite pleased.
“You all conspired against me!”
By now, even a fool like Atlas Leopold could understand what was happening.
Clearly, two groups had colluded to set him up!
“Nathan, you dare trick me!”
His face darkened to the extreme.
Ordinarily, it was him, Young Master Leopold, who played tricks on others! But who could have anticipated that today he would be the one to be played!
“So what if I played you?”
Julius Reed walked over with a smile.
“You sent people to harass Elize Yarrow, is that something a gentleman does?
She’s just a girl, you’re really heartless!”
“Don’t come any closer!”
Atlas Leopold took a deep breath, his entire body tensing up.
He had witnessed Julius Reed’s methods and knew all too well how formidable his opponent was.
“Get lost! ”
The moment Julius Reed neared them, the bodyguard immediately let go of Nathan and threw a fierce punch!
Bang!
Julius Reed did not retreat, countering with a punch of his own!
Crack!
The bodyguard’s bones instantly snapped!
Before he could react, Julius Reed’s other hand was already upon him!
“Don’t block my way!”
With a powerful heave, he tossed the bodyguard to the ground.
Everyone was shocked.
This bodyguard was highly skilled; they had all witnessed him subduing Nathan just moments ago.
But now, faced with Julius Reed, the man didn’t even have the strength to fight back!
He was instantly overpowered!
“Stop! Don’t come any closer!”
Atlas Leopold swallowed hard, shaking slightly in fear.
This scene mirrored exactly what Elize Yarrow had gone through just a moment ago.
“Since you came looking for trouble with me, you should have known this day would come. But I’ve changed my mind – initially, I wanted to rescue Elize Yarrow, but after she repeatedly slandered me, I now want to see how you’ll deal with her.”
As soon as Julius Reed uttered those words, Elize Yarrow’s face immediately turned pale.
Not just hers, the expressions on the faces of everyone else were also unsightly.
They had thought the matter was over, and everyone was even ready to applaud and cheer.
But then Julius Reed suddenly pulled this move, catching everyone off guard.
“Jerk! How can you be so petty! I was just… just kidding around…”
Elize Yarrow was somewhat afraid.
Previously, when Atlas Leopold bullied her, it was Julius Reed who stood up for her.
Today, when she heard that Atlas Leopold was going to make a move, Reed even personally rushed over.
But what did she do? As soon as they met, she was sarcastic, mocking, and jeering at him, completely biting the hand that fed her!
“I was wrong! Bro…”
She begged with a cry in her voice.
“Brother Reed, leave this to me, I promise I’ll handle it to your satisfaction!”
A hint of a smile crossed Atlas Leopold’s eyes.
It seemed that there had been a conflict between the two before!
In this case, he and Julius Reed had become fellows in the same boat.
Adept at calculating, Atlas Leopold naturally knew this was an opportunity, and if played well, he might even use this excuse to extricate himself and curry favor with Julius Reed!
As long as he returned to the Leopold Family, he would fear nothing. In Five-river Province, no one dared to openly mess with the Leopold Family!
“You vile woman! How amusing!”
Atlas Leopold looked at Elize Yarrow with malice and began to walk towards her.
“Hey! How can you do this? Elize just spoke in anger, you’re a man, don’t be so petty!”
Ives Abbott saw Atlas Leopold walking over and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Being friends who hung out together, naturally they didn’t want anyone to suffer any mishap.
“Exactly! I was just joking!”
Elize Yarrow’s previous confidence all stemmed from Julius Reed.
But now that Julius Reed had raised the white flag, she found herself in immediate danger.
Now, Elize Yarrow almost regretted green with it.
If it wasn’t for her indulgence in a moment’s verbal victory, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a dangerous situation.
“Fine, I’ll forgive you this once. If there’s a next time, you better be prepared to feed the fishes!”
Julius Reed waved his hand, and Nathan’s employees immediately lifted Atlas Leopold up.
“What are you doing! I’m Atlas Leopold! Of the Leopold Family! Offend me, and you won’t end well!”
Atlas Leopold struggled incessantly, but he lived a life of luxury and had no real strength!
He was now lifted off the ground!
“The Leopold Family? Let me ask you, haven’t I already offended the Leopold Family enough? What are you, always shouting and making a fuss!”
Slap!
Julius Reed slapped him across the face, immediately drawing blood from Atlas Leopold’s nose.
Remembering the chain of events triggered by the video of Quamaine Potter getting beaten up, which Atlas Leopold had arranged to be released, made him angry.
If it wasn’t for that video, Quella Radcliffe wouldn’t have fallen into such danger.
The two of them would still be living carefree in Gonzalez City, not in such peril.
So when he threw his punch, Julius Reed put a lot of force into it.
All the young people present were scared stiff.
The Young Master Leopold, one of the four young masters of Five-river Province, actually got his nose bloodied by a slap!
“How bold must one be? I’m really curious now, who exactly is Ives Abbott’s boyfriend!”
“First, he slept with Elize Yarrow, putting a green hat on the young master, and now he’s with Ives Abbott. Honestly, I’m very curious, who is he really!” “I heard it’s him, the same one who previously gave Atlas Leopold a good thrashing! ”
Everyone began to speculate about the identity of Julius Reed.
To dare to beat up Young Master Leopold so brazenly in Five-river Province, who would believe he had no backing?
Even if Ives Abbott claimed that this man was her boyfriend, the Abbott Family wouldn’t dare to flagrantly attack Atlas Leopold, right?
“You hitting me, you won’t end well! ”
Atlas Leopold threatened through gritted teeth, filled with malice.
By now, he hated Julius Reed to the core and had even thought of how to take revenge after getting away! “Is that so? I’d like to try that!”
Slap!
Julius Reed swung another heavy slap..
