Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 285
Chapter 285: Chapter 284 Skyfire Sect_1
As the words fell, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Following this, several men walked in, with a middle-aged man in a blue suit leading the way.
“I heard someone dared to cause trouble on my property,” said the man arrogantly. “I know quite a few wealthy businessmen in Five-river Province, and today, I’m eager to see which family’s son is so audacious!”
After entering the room where Julius Reed and the Roosevelt Shaw family of three were detained, the man in the suit surveyed his surroundings with an extremely haughty demeanor.
“It’s me, is that a problem?”
Julius Reed stood up, gazing intently at the man in the suit.
“Stop! Do not show off your abilities now!”
Seeing this, Roosevelt Shaw quickly rushed to restrain Julius Reed and smiled apologetically at the man in the suit, “This young brother is just young and rash; please, don’t mind him. I apologize on his behalf right here!”
Julius Reed had been good to everyone in the old district, so naturally, Roosevelt Shaw could not stand to see him aggrieved.
These people were armed and clearly not good men, and moreover, one must bow their head under another’s roof.
Even if he really wanted revenge, it would have to wait until they got out.
However, when the man in the suit glimpsed Julius Reed’s face, his expression suddenly changed drastically, “Julius…”
“He’s a friend of mine!”
Julius Reed saw that the other man was about to shout out his name and quickly went over to interrupt him.
“Who are you to dare imprison me here!”
He still maintained an extremely arrogant attitude.
This scared Roosevelt Shaw out of his wits, and just as he was about to go up and stop him, he was held back by Octavius.
“Ahem!”
The man in the suit was Bridger Davenport, Think Tank for Maurice Yarrow of the Three Blade Group, and it was on his advice that the Group had refrained from seeking revenge.
“That is…”
Davenport’s eyes kept darting around. He was a clever person and immediately understood what Julius Reed meant. However, he couldn’t fathom why this man, who could stir up trouble in Five-river Province with his own strength, came here.
“There are things I really don’t want to say because once I do, none of you will get away with it!”
Julius Reed continued to display a high and untamed attitude.
Seeing his arrogant behavior, a few men wanted to go over and teach him a lesson but were stopped by Davenport, “Take him to my room. I need to interrogate him thoroughly!”
“OK!”
The men nodded and escorted Julius Reed away from the derelict room.
“Brother, this trip is more perilous than fortunate, why didn’t you stop him! This gang doesn’t play by the rules; for Mr. Davenport, this bodes more ill than good!”
Seeing Julius Reed taken away, Roosevelt Shaw beat his chest in distress, worried about unexpected trouble.
This was a group of extremely vicious people, and no one knew what they were capable of doing.
“It’s okay, the person who came in just now is his friend.”
Octavius patted Roosevelt Shaw’s chest, signaling him not to panic.
Being a renowned figure in Five-river Province himself, Octavius naturally recognized Davenport, and although he was unsure why he was here, it surely had something to do with the Three Blade Group.
“Are you sure it’s nothing serious?”
Roosevelt Shaw was still not at ease. He knew Octavius and Julius Reed were risking themselves to save his family. If something really went wrong here, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“Mr. Davenport could leave, and not even gods could stop him,”
Octavius walked to the corner, leaned against the wall, and began to sleep.
“You stay at the door, no one is allowed in! If the envoy asks, just say I’m interrogating a hostage!”
After reaching a relatively decent room upstairs, Bridger Davenport waved his hand at several men, signaling them to leave.
Once the men had left, Bridger Davenport hurriedly moved a chair over respectfully, “Mr. Reed, what brings you here?”
He was quite surprised to see Julius Reed here.
The old district in Five-river Province was almost lawless, and apart from its location near the coast with a nearly abandoned dock, there was nothing of value to be found.
“First, tell me how you ended up here.”
Julius Reed sat down unceremoniously and looked at Bridger Davenport, “Instead of serving as the strategist of the Three Blade Group, you’re here mixing with a bunch of Hidden Guards. Could it be that you’re tired of the easy life and looking for some excitement?”
“Nothing can escape the discerning eyes of Mr. Reed.”
Bridger Davenport felt awkward and then began to explain, “This place is desolate; I wouldn’t have come here if I had a choice. But a month ago, two men came to our Three Blade Group and started negotiating with the boss directly.”
“These people promised that as long as we were willing to help, they would support the Three Blade Group, and also…”
At this, Bridger Davenport stopped midsentence.
“And also eliminate me.”
Julius Reed spoke casually, which startled Bridger Davenport!
“Mr. Reed, how… how did you know?”
Realizing he had lost his composure, he quickly said, “I have always opposed this! Ever since we met in Gonzalez City, I have been well aware of your capabilities. But our boss has been seduced by their words and insisted on following through, and it’s simply unstoppable.”
Bridger Davenport gave a wry smile, “In the Three Blade Group, no one can stop Boss Yarrow from doing what he wants.”
“I believe that. Like we said when we first met, you’re a smart man. You ought to know what’s in your best interest,”
Julius Reed lifted his eyelids to look at Bridger Davenport, who was sweating profusely, and said lightly, “In fact, if you had ever harbored ideas of harming me, I would have fed you to the fish long ago. You wouldn’t have lived to see this day.”
“Yes! Rest assured, Mr. Reed, even if I had the courage of a lion, I wouldn’t dare to cross you!”
Bridger Davenport wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, feeling his legs go weak. Taking a deep breath, he asked in a low voice, “But Mr. Reed… how did you know about the condition our boss offered?”
This matter had been tightly kept within the group, known only by less than five senior members and those two men.
The Three Blade Group had maintained strict confidentiality, so how could it have leaked?
“Maurice Yarrow has always borne a grudge against me. If the Leopold Family hadn’t run into bad luck and I was still safe and sound, he probably would have made his move long ago.”
Julius Reed stood up from the chair and said with a smile, “Now that he has such a large group to do his bidding, how could he miss this opportunity?”
“Mr. Reed is absolutely right.”
Bridger Davenport, soaked with sweat, stood there trembling.
“What kind of people are they, really? Do you know what they are up to by occupying this place?”
Julius Reed walked to the window and looked down at the Black Hidden Guards patrolling non-stop, growing even more puzzled.
“This matter is too confidential; I only know bits and pieces. From Boss Yarrow, I learned that the two leading men are called envoys, and they want to occupy the old district because a person called Saint Heir is coming. The old district has a dock that’s convenient for landing. As for…”
“Saint Heir? Did they ever mention Skyfire Sect?”
Julius Reed’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and the ring on his finger began to emit a red glow.
