Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 324:
Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Boulevard League_1
After Julius Reed stepped out of the room, he immediately arranged for Aron Jackson’s people to keep a close watch on the airport, the docks, and the train stations.
At the same time, he summoned a large number of men to guard the vicinity of Shangri-La; even the service staff inside were Aron Jackson’s people.
It was completely a posture of luring the enemy into a trap.
As long as the Isolde Family dared to come, however many came would be killed!
After all, Quella Radcliffe’s kneeling had filled Julius Reed with a killing intent!
Just as he walked out of the hotel’s main entrance, Julius Reed received a call from an unknown number on his mobile phone.
This number was extremely confidential; aside from people like Miguel Abbott, no one knew it.
No telemarketing calls would ever make it to this number.
“Hello.”
Julius Reed didn’t hesitate and immediately answered the call.
“Mr. Reed?”
A faint voice came from the other end of the phone.
“You are…?”
Julius Reed felt the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it belonged to at the moment.
Moreover, judging from the voice, it sounded like the other party might be in a cramped space, making the call secretly.
“Bridger Davenport.”
“It’s you? How do you know my number?”
Julius Reed felt it was incredible since though he had agreed with Bridger Davenport to report any news to him, the number left had been Miguel Abbott’s.
This way, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion and could also achieve a secretive effect.
“Mr. Abbott gave it to me. Mr. Reed, it’s urgent, please listen to me first.”
Bridger Davenport’s voice was so soft that Julius Reed had to listen carefully to make it out clearly.
“Yesterday, our gang leader Maurice Yarrow joined an organization called the Boulevard League. Many wealthy merchants and powers from Five-river Province have joined, including the Leopold Family and Kensington Family. However, people like Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter were not invited. On the contrary, Golden Eagle Group and Moonlight Group are the first to be targeted in the Boulevard League’s initial plan!”
“To sum up, all the invitees are from large families that hold a grudge against you. Atlas Leopold of the Leopold Family was crippled by you, Quince Kensington’s men were killed by you in Gonzalez City, and Maurice Yarrow has always wanted to eliminate you. The only one that doesn’t fit is Stanislaus Potter, his son Quamaine Potter…”
“Stanislaus Potter has already pledged his allegiance to me; he is now my man.”
Julius Reed spoke calmly.
“That explains everything then. The members of the organization aren’t only from Five-river Province but also wealthy merchants from Ganny Province. The next step in their plan is to take out Stanislaus Potter and Miguel Abbott within the next few days.”
Thud! Thud!
At that moment, there were footsteps in the telephone call, and Bridger Davenport hurriedly hung up the phone.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong?”
Aron Jackson, seeing that Julius Reed looked a bit off, quickly came over to comfort him, “Please rest assured, Big Brother! Even if the Isolde Family had the power of the divine, they couldn’t escape from Gonzalez City!”
“It’s not that.”
Julius Reed shook his head, muttering to himself, “Boulevard League, Boulevard League, Boulevard? I want to see if you can really trap me!”
He turned to Aron Jackson, “I need to go to Five-river Province now; their people have already infiltrated here, and the bomb incident last time proves it. For your sister-in-law’s safety, I only trust you.”
“Big Brother! What are you going to do?”
Aron Jackson was a bit slow to react. Weren’t they just waiting here for the Isolde Family to come to their doom?
Why suddenly go to Five-river Province?
“This Boulevard League should be connected to the people who have been targeting me. If we find out who the organizers are, we can trace back from there and find out who the ‘highly skilled individual’ Joel Martin spoke of really is!”
A flash of sharpness crossed Julius Reed’s eyes, and his voice turned somewhat icy, “Your sister-in-law’s safety is more important than anything!”
Having said that, he went over to confer with Quella Radcliffe and then headed straight to the Titan Group.
Fifteen minutes later.
A Jetta appeared in the underground parking lot of the Titan Group.
At that moment, a man in a black trench coat approached the car window and tapped lightly on the glass, “Got a light?”
The window slowly rolled down, and the trench-coated man whispered upon seeing no one around, “Ovidiu Cook remains without suspicion for now, at most, he’s guilty of negligence. I’ve checked even which newspaper he reads while using the toilet; the guy doesn’t have the guts to betray you.”
“I need a plane, to fly to Five-river Province immediately. The operation must be kept confidential, no one else can know.”
Julius Reed spoke from the driver’s seat of the Jetta.
“Relax, the driver has been drugged by me and will suddenly drop dead in three hours. As for the others, you don’t need to worry,” said Bane Cook, clad in a black trench coat, as he put on his sunglasses. “Boss, the plane is on the rooftop, aside from you and me, no one else will know. By the time Ovidiu Cook discovers anything, you will have already landed.”
“Excellent!”
Julius Reed looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then got out of the car and took the elevator to the rooftop.
Behind him, Bane Cook followed all the way to the elevator.
This was an elevator exclusively for senior staff. Once the emergency mode was activated, it wouldn’t stop midway, but head directly to its destination.
After Bane Cook swiped his card, the elevator went straight up to the rooftop.
At that time, the helicopter on the rooftop was emitting a roaring sound.
“Hello…”
“I am Bane Cook, calling for the plane.”
Before the security personnel could speak, Bane Cook promptly showed his ID.
“Minister Cook!”
Upon seeing the name on the ID, a security guard hastily saluted him.
Bane Cook’s renown was well-known; he controlled the greatest power within the Titan Group’s most secretive department.
Moreover, the rumors about him were so extraordinary that everyone regarded Bane Cook with awe and fear.
“Does the chairman know about this, Minister Cook? Don’t take it the wrong way, this is company protocol, even the chairman needs to explain in advance if he wants to use the helicopter.”
Four security guards stood in front of Bane Cook, looking troubled: “Maybe you could check with the chairman?”
“Who is this?”
One of the security guards noticed Julius Reed and approached to investigate.
“Stop right there!”
Bane Cook’s expression darkened, and he addressed the security guard, “This gentleman is a distinguished guest of the Titan Group. I have been ordered by the chairman to escort the guest away. Move aside immediately, or I will not be merciful!”
“This…”
The security guards looked troubled, uncertain about what to do.
Finally, they stepped aside to clear a path.
No one dared to challenge Bane Cook, this madman who even dared to curse at the chairman. They certainly didn’t think they ranked higher than the chairman.
“Please!”
Seeing the way cleared, Bane Cook gestured for Julius Reed to proceed.
Julius Reed nodded and quickly boarded the helicopter, which then took off slowly.
“Minister Cook, I need to confirm this with the chairman.”
A security guard picked up a walkie-talkie, ready to report to the front desk.
“There’s no need!”
Thwack!
In Bane Cook’s hand appeared a dagger, which he drove straight into the heart of the security guard.
“You…”
“The path was your own choosing!”
Bane Cook didn’t even glance at him and pushed the security guard aside.
In quick succession, he delivered two stabs, and before the other two security guards could react, they too had become corpses.
“Minister Cook… Please spare me!”
The remaining guard fell to his knees, so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels.
“Why are you kneeling? They were corporate spies. You’re new here, aren’t you thinking too much?”
Bane Cook wiped the dagger on the clothes of one of the bodies and reinserted it into his waistband.
But before the guard could breathe a sigh of relief, Bane Cook turned around again.
“Minister Cook… I didn’t see anything!”
The guard shivered with fright, thinking the man had changed his mind.
“Take care of the bodies. If you don’t know how, call my subordinates to handle it,” said Bane Cook with a faint smile, as he turned to leave the rooftop.
