Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 369
Chapter 369: Chapter 369 Not a Man_1
Quella Radcliffe had not seen Julius Reed for a long time, and deep down, she missed him. But her tough exterior and tender heart meant she would never express this feeling.
Now, being carried by Julius Reed, a sense of security and happiness spread throughout her body, making her feel exceptionally comfortable.
The awful feelings from being kidnapped and slapped had also been swept away.
When they arrived above Sterling Fairbanks’ head, Julius Reed kicked his head with his foot, “Hey, stop playing dead. I won’t kill you.”
“Really?” Sterling Fairbanks, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, opened them, asking with a hoarse and weak voice.
His pupils revealed desperation and pain.
Both his hands had been neatly severed; his legs were shattered, and his body, having lost too much blood, was already pale and powerless.
“I’m telling you, once you go back, you must find someone to come after me for revenge, the stronger the better, you got that?”
Carrying Quella Radcliffe on his back and standing over Sterling Fairbanks’ head, Julius Reed said cheerfully.
“I dare not! Please rest assured, once I go back… after I return, I definitely won’t… dare to trouble you again…” Even facing death, Sterling Fairbanks could not muster the courage to speak the truth.
He only wanted to survive. As long as he could save his own life, he wouldn’t worry about the lack of means for revenge.
If he died in this sewage factory, it would be too pathetic.
Once back in the capital, he could use the Hall Family’s connections to exact a bloody revenge on Julius Reed!
And on Julius Reed’s family!
He wouldn’t let any of them go…
“You’re not honest, you know!” Julius Reed frowned slightly, looking at Sterling Fairbanks, who was shivering uncontrollably: “I’ve beaten you like this, why won’t you seek revenge? Are you even a man?”
“I’m not a man, Brother Davenport, I really don’t dare to seek revenge! I won’t even think about it, opposing you is a dead end, please just let me go…” Sterling Fairbanks said weakly, on the verge of fainting. The pain in his limbs had long since numbed, leaving only fear lingering in his mind.
Seeking revenge?
He could only dream of it, but how could he possibly speak it now?
“Since you’re not a man, you might as well become a eunuch.”
Whoosh!
Julius Reed delivered a kick directly to Sterling Fairbanks’ groin!
“Ah!”
Sterling Fairbanks let out a heart-wrenching scream and passed out.
“Boss, why leave a survivor?” Lucan Davenport asked, puzzled.
For someone like Sterling Fairbanks, wouldn’t it be easier to just kill him off, leaving him alive only created more trouble.
“Someday I will go to the capital, why not find someone to spread the word for me. You see what I mean?” Julius Reed glanced at Lucan Davenport, who then understood.
“The boss is the boss! Brilliant!” Lucan Davenport gave a thumbs up and dragged Kairo Percival into the trunk of the BMW like a dead dog.
Once Sterling Fairbanks returned, coupled with Sophia Leocadia stirring things up from behind, the capital’s elite would inevitably learn about a character like himself.
If the truth about the past was to be unearthed, a trip to the capital was unavoidable, and it was the perfect opportunity to let the influential families there know of his impending arrival.
After leaving the abandoned sewage treatment plant, the group drove to the Paper Drunk Golden Tavern.
This bar had only come to mind for Julius Reed after regaining his memories a few days ago, and it had now become his base of operations in Five-river Province.
Owning a powerful spy network, it was more than a suitable place.
Quella Radcliffe had just gone through a kidnapping, and though she wasn’t physically hurt, she was still a girl who ended up sleeping deeply in the passenger seat of the BMW.
Julius Reed looked at Quella Radcliffe, her expression slightly tense even in sleep, and felt extremely distressed.
Perhaps in her dreams, she was still unsettled, right?
He gently lifted Quella Radcliffe and placed her on the sofa in Finn Carmichael’s office.
“Boss…”
“Shh!”
Julius Reed made a silencing gesture, signaling Finn Carmichael to keep quiet.
“Let’s talk outside.”
Finn Carmichael nodded, carefully stepping out of the general manager’s office.
The door was soundproof; even with the noise from the bar, it was practically silent inside.
“Young Master, we still can’t find the Wolf Cavalry. These people are too mysterious; despite all my spies being top-notch, not a single one has caught a trace of Wolf Cavalry.”
Finn Carmichael sighed, his face filled with frustration.
His pride and joy, the spy network, was unable to gather even the slightest bit of information.
The Wolf Cavalry seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace at all.
“That’s to be expected. The Wolf Cavalry was trained personally by me. If you found them easily, that would mean I’m inferior to you, wouldn’t it?”
Julius Reed patted him on the shoulder, signaling it wasn’t a big deal.
Since the Wolf Cavalry was able to penetrate Five-river Province, it meant that those mobilizing them had long since made their plans.
With their strong mobility and stealth, the Wolf Cavalry wouldn’t be found so easily.
“Boss, what do you plan to do next?” Finn Carmichael asked, looking at Julius Reed.
“I want to go back and stay a few days.” Julius Reed pointed inside the room: “My wife was kidnapped today, and she foolishly ran to Five-river Province alone, experiencing quite the fright.”
“As for the Boulevard League, they’re probably busy with internal strife at the moment and have no spare time to deal with us.”
Looking at the calendar on his watch, Julius Reed smiled faintly, “The New Year is approaching fast, isn’t it?”
He used to have no sense of time because he couldn’t die no matter what, making time the most boring thing.
No matter who fell around him, he continued to exist in this world.
But since marrying Quella Radcliffe, he started to cherish every minute.
Lately, he had been too focused on investigating the truth behind his amnesia and hadn’t spent proper time with Quella Radcliffe.
Thinking of this filled Julius Reed with guilt.
“Don’t worry, boss, my men will escort you safely! If anyone dares to trouble you and doesn’t know any better, I’ll send them to heaven right away!” Finn Carmichael said fiercely.
Previously, when Julius Reed disappeared, he kept a low profile.
Now that the Young Master had returned, Finn Carmichael was ready to be the most ferocious biting dog!
“I’ll leave the matters of Five-river Province to you,” Julius Reed took a deep breath and leaned against the tavern’s wall: “This afternoon, I’ll first take your sister-in-law back. Please help me investigate the situation here. I suppose these people won’t cause any trouble before the New Year. Also, Janet Carmichael has already confessed. Spread the word that Janet Carmichael has spilled everything and is waiting for someone to silence her.”
Janet Carmichael had lost her usefulness, but Julius Reed knew very well the truly important figures she wouldn’t dare mention.
If she did, the organization behind her would face annihilation.
The bait was set, whether the fish would bite was up to fate.
“Understood! I’ll arrange for it immediately,” Finn Carmichael nodded, adept at spreading messages.
“Also, keep a close eye on every move in the capital!” Julius Reed gave his final instruction before turning to enter the private room, waiting for Quella Radcliffe to wake up so he could take her home.
There was less than half a month until New Year’s.
This would be the fourth year he and Quella Radcliffe spent together.
