Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 327
Chapter 327: Chapter 327 I Didn’t Hear Clearly_1
“`
An explosive piece of news swept through Five-river Province the next day.
Miguel Abbott, Chairman of Moonlight Group, and Stanislaus Potter, Chairman of Golden Eagle Group, had suffered a severe car accident after drinking.
The helmsmen of the two leading enterprises in the province had unluckily passed away.
The news was so sudden that many people found it hard to believe.
The Abbott Family and the Potter Family were draped in white, and relatives from the family came one after another to offer their condolences.
Inside a villa in Five-river Province.
“Master, the man is dead.”
A butler said quietly.
“Is it clear?”
The old man leaned back in his chair, his eyes barely open.
“Confirmed dead, executed cleanly and succinctly, wrapped up as a drunk driving case, with the driver fleeing the scene. We’ve already arranged for someone to take the fall and go to prison, this case will be closed immediately.”
The butler reported while bending over.
“Be thorough. Once these two are dead, Julius Reed in Five-river Province is like a blind and deaf man, unable to see or touch anything.”
The elderly man said slowly.
“I’ve sent someone to check, and Miguel Abbott’s daughter, Ives Abbott, has already fainted from crying three times. Moreover, our man in play is one in ten thousand, absolutely not prone to mistakes!”
The butler, head lowered, had a smile on his face.
“Ha ha! Julius Reed, I will make you bow that noble head! Butler, immediately convene a meeting to discuss the next moves for the Boulevard League! Remember, it must be confidential; our identities should not be leaked!”
The elderly man opened his cloudy eyes, his face bearing an expression of satisfaction, “Also, the Willson Group must be brought over to our side. If we don’t approach Willson Group, Julius Reed will notice, and once he suspects us, we will be utterly defeated!”
“Understood! I’ve already sent someone to woo Willson Group, ensuring they won’t harbor the slightest suspicion!”
The butler bowed and retreated from the room.
“I will corner the dragon!”
In the spacious room, only the old man’s laughter remained.
…
“Gentlemen, our first move has been so successful, what a way to start!”
Inside a villa belonging to the Leopold Family, Maurice Yarrow held a wine glass, his face showing heartfelt joy.
“Boss Yarrow is right. Since its inception, Boulevard League hasn’t really taken any action. I know there have been suspicions in everyone’s minds. Yesterday’s operation was to show everyone the strength of Boulevard League!”
The butler raised his glass, “What about Miguel Abbott? How about Stanislaus Potter, the business magnate? If we want them dead, they must die! And die without a trace! Even if the Abbott Family and the Potter Family investigate, they will come to only one conclusion: Drunk driving accident!”
A roar akin to a mountain tide filled the villa.
If any notable from Five-river Province were present, they would recognize many familiar faces here.
These individuals were all elite top-tiers, either managing a huge conglomerate or having significant influence in their fields of expertise.
Now, they were gathered here, conspiring for a major cause.
“Today, it is an honor for me, Atlas Leopold, to host a celebration in my home! Originally, Julius Reed emerged out of nowhere, and Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter abandoned the stance a local merchant should maintain, willingly becoming his henchmen! For Five-river Province, it was a disaster.”
Speaking thus, Whitley Leopold, who should have been seriously ill in bed, raised his glass with a sigh, “My grandson, Atlas Leopold, was set to be the helmsman of our family, the future successor. Yet this villain broke his legs, leaving him comatose to this day. Today, I am fortunate to have the Family Head organize this alliance, which has enabled me to take my revenge!”
He approached the butler, raising his glass, the rim three notches lower than that of the butler’s, “A toast!”
After that, he downed the drink.
“Although I planned this, it wouldn’t have been possible without the contributions of everyone here. Let us celebrate together!”
The butler raised his glass and lightly poured the wine onto the ground.
Everyone stopped their activities, unsure of the meaning behind this action.
“May I ask, what is the butler’s intention here?” Maurice Yarrow asked.
Such an act was too unusual and shouldn’t have occurred in such a setting.
“To Miguel Abbott, to Stanislaus Potter.”
The butler smiled indifferently, then raised a second glass and drank it all.
“`
Laughter once again filled the villa.
Whoosh!
But at that moment, the villa’s wooden door was kicked to splinters.
“Who goes there!”
Several bodyguards emerged from behind the butler, ready to charge forward.
“Stand down!”
Before they could act, the butler immediately extended his hand to stop them: “The Leopold family mansion is heavily guarded; it’s impossible for anyone to break in unnoticed. Do not act rashly, let’s watch and see.”
“Yes!”
The individuals quietly stepped back.
A moment later, a muscular man with a bare chest strode in.
“It turns out to be Mr. Harris Mountain.”
Maurice Yarrow was closest to the door, and he immediately went over with a glass of wine and offered it to Mr. Harris Mountain: “Today’s merit is all thanks to the butler and Mr. Harris Mountain… ”
Crash!
Mr. Harris Mountain knocked the wine glass from Maurice Yarrow’s hand and strode up to the butler.
The villa fell into an eerie silence.
No one knew what was happening.
“Mr. Harris Mountain, what is the meaning of this?”
The butler frowned, it was a celebration, everyone was in high spirits, and Mr. Harris Mountain’s actions were quite a dampener.
But the one who had killed Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter was none other than the very Mr. Harris Mountain standing before him, so he had to tolerate the other man’s rudeness and arrogance.
“I’ve finished my business, yet your family head is still sneaking around, not daring to meet anyone!”
Mr. Harris Mountain glared at the butler, his voice causing everyone’s eardrums to ache.
“Mr. Harris Mountain, our family head has his reasons, and when the time comes for him to appear, he naturally will.”
The butler suppressed his anger, not letting it show.
Although he was just a butler, the family he served held him in the highest regard, and people outside were even more obsequious toward him.
Faced with such questioning, if it were anyone else, they would have likely been dealt with by the butler by now.
But the man in front of him was Mr. Harris Mountain, who was not only a strong man but also an expert sent by those from above to help.
For such arrogance, he could only bear it for the time being.
“Nonsense!”
Mr. Harris Mountain was not satisfied with the butler’s answer.
Standing less than half a meter from the butler, he said vehemently, “I kill for you, I do your bidding, and in return, your family head hides like a turtle in its shell, not even allowing us a glimpse of his face! You should inquire, who would dare treat me like this? Not even your family head, not even the one who sent me, would dare treat me so!”
“Mind your language!”
A bodyguard came over, his tone unfriendly.
“What did you say?”
Mr. Harris Mountain turned his head and asked.
“I said, mind your…”
Crack!
Mr. Harris Mountain struck a punch that went straight through the bodyguard’s torso.
Drip, drip.
Blood dripped ceaselessly from his fingers onto the floor, the bodyguard’s body shuddering as he took his last breath.
“I didn’t hear clearly, please someone repeat it for me.”
Mr. Harris Mountain looked around the room, his gaze settling on the butler.
“Call your family head to see me, otherwise I won’t do any more business for you!”
After saying this, Mr. Harris Mountain wiped the blood onto the butler, then strode out of the Leopold family villa.
