1001: Killing Someone with a Borrowed Knife “President Radcliffe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone in the room had left, Third Brother of Leopold Family knelt in front of Otis Radcliffe, weeping bitterly: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know Desmond Martin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe bent down and smiled at him: “Desmond Martin is Desmond Martin, and you are you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although you are friends, you are ultimately not the same person, are you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such comforting words allowed the Third Brother of Leopold Family to relax somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he didn’t die, anything was bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, President Radcliffe, from now on, whether I climb mountains of knives or descend into pots of oil, I will definitely do so without hesitation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately declared his loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now even a fool could see that Otis Radcliffe was rich and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was extremely decisive in his actions, becoming the boss of Gonzalez City was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was the first to choose sides, he would definitely get a share of the cake in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that a jest, or are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe leaned back in the chair, legs crossed, smilingly watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dead serious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Third Brother of Leopold Family, am willing to lay down my life for Young Radcliffe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Brother of Leopold Family felt his heart lurch and hurriedly looked up, speaking with sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, I just happen to have a favor to ask of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President Radcliffe, just say the word!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about his good friend Desmond Martin’s tragic death, the Third Brother of Leopold Family was now in extreme panic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Otis Radcliffe of today had completely changed, showing no mercy in killing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was desperate to make an impression, to turn the page on this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it’s not a big deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe took out a cigarette from his chest pocket and put it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Brother of Leopold Family shakily took out a lighter from his own pocket, attempting to light the cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I don’t smoke cigarettes lit by a dead man, it’s bad luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe declined with a laugh, and Thomas Pendleton immediately passed the flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dead man…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, the Third Brother of Leopold Family trembled and began to think frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he break the net in a do-or-die struggle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or should he struggle in desperation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not willing to give up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody wanted to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you are very dissatisfied and even thinking about a lose-lose situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe took a deep drag of his cigarette, releasing a cloud of smoke: “But this Young Kensington at my side, might send you on your way before you even make a move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the youth in the white suit next to him, stating faintly: “You were fortunate enough to witness Young Kensington’s skill right before your death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth in the white suit extended his hand and slowly made a grabbing motion in the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glass on the table shattered at the sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, it turned into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Brother of Leopold Family watched dumbfounded, collapsing to the ground like a deflated ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was filled with despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are friends, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you do this thing for me, I can take care of your family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I can only let you all reunite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, Otis Radcliffe maintained a nonchalant demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No anger could be seen, no rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, no indication that he was planning to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like chatting with an old friend, he had already decided on the life and death of the Third Brother of Leopold Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what you mean is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Brother of Leopold Family lifted his head in despair, managing a bitter smile: “Let the calamity not extend to my family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe stood up and patted his shoulder: “We’re friends, is it not the right thing to do to help take care of your family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Brother of Leopold Family said hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not resigned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if he weren’t resigned, what could he do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person dies, and a whole family stays safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s the plan, I want you to ‘bump into’ my sister at just the right moment, and then—take a knife and kill her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, your knife is fake, but make sure the knife you give her is exceptionally sharp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t care how you do it, but I need the photographer to capture the moment my sister kills you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe paced back and forth in the room, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You understand what I’m saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in front of Third Brother of Leopold Family and asked indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother of Leopold Family nodded, his face ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was to be a murder by proxy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just don’t understand, President Radcliffe, why bother with such a scheme?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t it be easier if I simply killed her with one stab?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such doubts, Otis Radcliffe rarely took the time to answer a question for a dead man: “My brother-in-law once told me something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said death is the best escape, and that living can be infinitely more cruel than dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother of Leopold Family nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back and enjoy your last night with your wife and child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe waved him off, watching as Third Brother of Leopold Family left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the private room, only three men were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe, Harrison Sterling, Thomas Pendleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pendleton.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe looked up at Thomas Pendleton standing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were friends, fair-weather friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Otis Radcliffe was driven out of Gonzalez City, he would hang out with Thomas Pendleton and others all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had come into his own, he sought out his former partners first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Darnell Lopez, I’m all ears!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Pendleton was not intimidated by Otis Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a dog, a very loyal one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s okay with you, what do you think of my sister?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would she make a good wife for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t dare…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t possibly consider being related to you by marriage…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Pendleton quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, I’m thinking of adorning my brother-in-law’s head with a green hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the most humiliating thing for a man is that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I send my sister to prison, I might as well make use of her one last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Otis Radcliffe put his hands in his pockets and stood by the window, looking out at the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called night view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pitch-black expanse where the twinkling lights had been snuffed out by darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Darnell Lopez says it’s okay, then it’s okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Pendleton said with a grin: “How about this, I’ll have a few guys tease her first, and then when the opportunity is right, I’ll take over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does that sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Otis Radcliffe backing him, he feared nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Thomas Pendleton’s mind, Julius Reed was just a tough guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No connections, no real ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everything he knew about Julius Reed had come from Otis Radcliffe’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, I love how smart you are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around and leaning on the windowsill, Otis Radcliffe said with a smile: “If you handle this well, I’ll let you have Itai Huntington to play with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of Itai Huntington, Thomas Pendleton’s eyes lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all of Gonzalez City, who wouldn’t want to go to bed with Itai Huntington?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was known as the most promiscuous widow around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His throat moved, his eyes filled with longing: “I will do my best!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest assured, heh heh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always keep my promises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝօνǤ0.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoy my sister, and then I’ll send you a widow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe patted Thomas Pendleton on the shoulder and waved him off: “Go on, don’t disappoint me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Pendleton, face flushed with excitement like he was on a stimulant, quickly left the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his departure, Harrison Sterling stood up and looked at Otis Radcliffe: “Is there a point to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed is no ordinary man; these petty tricks are useless against him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know it’s going to be hard to hurt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, I just want to disgust him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe said, laughing loudly, his face filled with indescribable pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2c76ec4184f6705e609aa9f6deda95bbe486adecb5ee6c8b86c6087eb427137","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1003","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1001",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
