Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 299
Chapter 299: Chapter 298 Joel Martin’s Conspiracy_1
“I, too, wish to die, but it seems there’s no one capable of killing me yet.”
Facing such a formidable Shadow Warrior, Julius Reed stood in the middle of the warehouse, his eyes like those of an eagle, staring intently at his opponent.
“If you have the skills, then I don’t mind dying. Unfortunately, the one to die today will be you.”
At this moment, Julius Reed, having removed his shirt to bandage Anna Harris’s wounds, revealed his strong upper body muscles.
Although the lighting inside the warehouse wasn’t very good, Anna Harris, hiding inside a metal cabinet, could still see Julius Reed clearly.
This was the first time she had witnessed such well-built muscles.
Anna Harris had lived abroad for several years and often frequented the gym,
where the foreign men had even bigger muscles, but they seemed a bit too bulky and lacked grace.
The muscles on Julius Reed’s body were not excessive, but they conveyed an astonishing explosive power.
Even from inside a metal cabinet, facing the enemy, Anna Harris still felt completely safe.
“Julius Reed, I know you’re somewhat talented. Before I came, I did my research; many skilled fighters have fallen to you. But I still dared to come. Do you know why?”
The man didn’t seem to have the intention to start fighting just yet, still smilingly watching Julius Reed.
Plip! Plop!
The droplets of water falling from Julius Reed’s body hit the ground, sounding particularly harsh in the silent warehouse.
“Who sent you.”
His tone was icy as he sternly questioned the gunman at the warehouse entrance.
“Hm?”
The man furrowed his brow slightly, then laughed loudly, “Mr. Reed, I think you might be a bit confused about the situation. It’s not for you to interrogate me, but for me to kill you.”
Whoosh!
Julius Reed didn’t say another word; his entire body leaped into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the top of the warehouse.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
The man took a cautious step back and pulled the trigger of the device in his hand!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The darts hit the steel beams at the top of the warehouse, making a crackling noise.
And Julius Reed, like a ghost, ran swiftly across the steel beams, arriving above the man’s head in the blink of an eye!
Anna Harris’s palms were soaked with sweat inside the metal cabinet. She had only seen this kind of scene in movies before, but now witnessing it live right before her eyes, Anna Harris’s heart felt like it would leap out.
Too thrilling!
She found it difficult to associate the Julius Reed who used to joke and laugh with the youth before her now.
“You won’t be able to dodge my darts!”
Seeing that he couldn’t harm Julius Reed at all, the man rolled out of the warehouse.
At the same time, during the roll, he quickly adjusted the angle of the concealed weapon box in his hand, firing another stream of fire!
Click!
Facing the barrage of darts flying towards him, Julius Reed snapped off a piece of rebar with one hand and hurled it sideways!
Thwack!
Before the man could react, the rebar accurately impaled his shoulder!
“Ah!”
With a cry of pain, the sound of darts ceased completely.
The air once again became quiet, aside from the blonde man’s agonized wailing.
“Sending someone so unprofessional to kill me, I’m afraid they’re not a foe worth my attention.”
Julius Reed walked toward the man step by step, not quickly, but with enough pressure to make the man feel overwhelmed.
“Go to hell…”
The man endured the pain in his shoulder and tried to aim his other hand at Julius Reed to fire.
Whiz!
But before he could act, Julius Reed kicked a pebble, directly breaking the man’s wrist.
“Hiss…”
The man gasped, his body trembling non-stop.
His gaze toward Julius Reed had shifted from contempt to fear.
“Don’t come any closer…”
The man gasped for air and tried to push himself backward with his legs, ignoring the blood flowing from his wound.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
Julius Reed approached the man and asked coldly, “Who sent you, and what does the bridge collapse have to do with you?”
The other party was weak, obviously no match for myself.
Even placed in the underworld, the price of such a Shadow Warrior wouldn’t be high.
“I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything…”
The man had completely lost the arrogance he had shown before and tentatively asked, “If I tell you everything, will you let me go?”
His eyes were filled with pleading and fear.
“Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me now?”
Julius Reed’s foot was pressed on his leg, and he suddenly applied more pressure!
Crack!
As the sound of breaking bones was heard, the man’s eyes turned bloodshot as he begged incessantly, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
“You’d better be quick.”
Julius Reed lifted his foot from the man’s leg.
“It’s Joel Martin! The one who asked me to kill you is Joel Martin! He gave me five million, said all that mattered was you dead!”
The man wailed in agony.
“What’s the story with the bomb in the car!”
Hearing the name Joel Martin, Julius Reed felt it was both unexpected and yet made perfect sense.
Originally, because of Stanislaus Potter, he had let Joel Martin off once before.
Now it seemed like being too kind was not always the right choice.
If it really was Joel Martin’s doing, then it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
It was impossible for Joel Martin to install a bomb under his car without Ovidiu Cook knowing anything about it!
“I don’t know about this…”
It seemed like the man thought Julius Reed wouldn’t believe him and hurriedly explained, “Joel Martin only told me about the place you would pass through, and that the bridge would collapse. If you died, I could pocket the five million for nothing. If by some fluke you survived, and it’s a man…”
Here he suddenly stopped.
“Speak!”
Julius Reed said in a heavy voice.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
The man swallowed, his face pale as he recited, “The man needs to be captured alive, have both legs and feet broken, the woman… ‘have fun’ with first, then kill.”
“But this wasn’t my idea, it was all his idea!”
“After the deed is done, where do you meet?”
Since he had to bring the person back, there must be a designated place.
“It’s in the broken-down warehouse in the northern part of Gonzalez City, but there are a few of his men there, quite difficult to handle.”
The man dared not hide the slightest detail.
“Now, call Joel Martin and tell him you’ve done it.”
Julius Reed ordered expressionlessly.
“Right now…”
Painfully, the man looked at his broken leg and his immobile arms, his forehead creased with torment.
“I’ll help you!”
Julius Reed bent down and searched the man’s chest for the phone, “Which is it?”
“The top one!”
The call quickly connected and was answered right away.
“How’s it going?”
An anxious voice from Joel Martin came from the other end of the phone.
“I… I’ve injured the man, and I’ve also captured the woman. Are you still at the warehouse? I’ll bring them to you!”
The man stammered out his words.
“What happened?”
Joel Martin was somewhat vigilant.
“I’m injured! Broke one leg, but luckily I’m quick with a gun, otherwise I might have gone down the drain! Mister Martin, you’re not being fair! Didn’t you say he wasn’t that strong? I nearly lost my life!”
The man cursed loudly.
Fooled by his cursing, Joel Martin’s caution dissipated completely, “Haha! It’s good you’re okay! Who knew that kid had such a big life, the bomb didn’t kill him. Lucky for me I had a backup plan! Bring them here, and I’ll give you another three million!”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you!”
Click!
After saying these words, the man’s neck was twisted and broken by Julius Reed.
