continually entering the doorway, Itai Huntington, who had not slept all night, appeared even more haggard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood by the window, her hand pressed against her forehead, dark circles already forming under her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, since returning to Gonzalez City, she had not had a good night’s sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe had already been back for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first day he arrived in Gonzalez City, Itai Huntington feared that something bad would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as expected, what she feared came true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a span of a few days, Otis Radcliffe directly bought over the wealthy businessmen of Gonzalez City, causing these people to collectively switch sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the business alliance led by Itai Huntington had already brought many people profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she personally flew to the capital to secure the Everyday Fresh group’s order, maximizing the coastal advantage of Gonzalez City to the utmost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, when Otis Radcliffe threw stacks of banknotes in front of those people,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of that seemed to matter little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alliance that had originally formed was falling apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bodyguard King Kong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see that Itai Huntington was very worried about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she heard that Otis Radcliffe was coming back, she had been frowning incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s wait, take it one step at a time,” Itai Huntington said with a slight furrow of her brows, sounding somewhat tired, “I really cannot imagine how Otis Radcliffe, who a few months ago seemed like a beaten dog, managed to transform himself in a matter of months, becoming a businessman who holds important wealth in his hands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had investigated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe had disappeared without a trace for months, impossible to track down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he appeared was the day he returned to Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for where he came from, even though Itai Huntington used all her connections to check, she found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The less she knew, the more worried she became!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can one play the game without knowing the opponent’s cards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we, find Julius Reed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Kong reluctantly mentioned the name, “Perhaps, he might have a solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He will come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington hesitated and then turned to look at King Kong, “I will go to sleep for a while, remember to wake me at eight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Kong nodded and stood at the door to Itai Huntington’s office with his hands clasped behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him guarding here, ordinary people did not dare to come in and disturb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Five-state International Building belonged to Itai Huntington.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t even office hours yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the office, Itai Huntington washed her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not go to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she took out her makeup kit and began to meticulously apply makeup in front of the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw her own face, looking slightly haggard from staying up all night, Itai Huntington seemed somewhat panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to spend hours getting herself ready,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hoping to show her best side to the man who would soon arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Storms brewed in Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five-river Province was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a mountain, a crack suddenly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, several figures emerged from the crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridge understands the greater good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will definitely report back to the princess truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, you will surely have the chance to be crowned and appointed as a chancellor in The North Sea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman with a bamboo hat spoke under a black veil, “We are immensely grateful for the support of the Ridge Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elders Victor, you’re too kind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truman Ridge stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a trace of joy on his face, “Serving the princess is my honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Yannick Ridge, I am old and do not wish to venture to The North Sea to be part of the troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only hope that after the princess restores The North Sea, she’ll ensure that my descendants will remain the richest in Five-river Province; I could then die content.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dearest grandson had died at the hands of Julius Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the last establishment of the Boulevard League, he hoped for revenge, but unexpectedly, Skyfire ended up allying with foreign forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their internal alliance crumbled, and the issue was left unresolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, those who claimed to be the Elders of The North Sea had come looking for him, displaying formidable strength, and Truman Ridge reignited his hope for revenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed the Elders definitely had the capacity and skill to eliminate Julius Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pouring money into the cause was only natural,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Willson Group was built by Truman Ridge’s very own hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as a crafty old fox, he would naturally not reveal everything; he wanted to use the Willson Group to check the people of The North Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also did not disclose his relationship with Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the princess, the small Five-river Province is not even worth mentioning!” Elders Victor chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If our restoration is successful, I will take the liberty to give you a longevity elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this medicine, living another hundred years is no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truman Ridge’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already in his seventies, time was not on his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that there was a medicine capable of extending life, his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elders Victor nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridge’s willingness to help is equivalent to allowing us to take control of Five-river Province’s situation without exerting any effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a heavy reward, granting you longevity, is also within reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they obtained the Divine Dragon Tripod, they would control the secret to immortality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To control life is to have everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, even the wealthiest individuals would have to come to them, paying money for their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money, power, meaningless in the face of life itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elders Victor was even curious why the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance hadn’t used this advantage to rule the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Julius Reed had occasionally tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once tempted Granny Xihua with the taste of immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist the temptation to break free from the cycle of reincarnation, Granny Xihua eventually began plotting to take the Divine Dragon Tripod for her own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these were things Elders Victor was unaware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, she was on the run, a fugitive from justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, I thank you in advance, Elders Victor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truman Ridge was somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hoped to leave a legacy of fortune for his descendants after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had not expected to actually live another hundred years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shall take my leave, should there be matters in the future, you can contact me directly through him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elders Victor pointed to a young man standing behind Truman Ridge and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truman Ridge’s heart pounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one can resist the lure of eternal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who are already one foot in the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and walked back through the mountain gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain gate slowly closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outside world could not tell that there was actually a large mansion hidden within the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Elders Victor left, a figure appeared at the entrance of the mountain gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲ0νǤ0.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed raised his voice and slowly lifted his head to look at the mountain before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who dares to be presumptuous here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave at once!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep voice came from the sky, laden with boundless authority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like to repeat myself a third time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed suddenly dashed forward, his Great Round Mountain Night Sword slashing down at lightning speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain gate shattered to pieces, rubble strewn all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A body fell from the sky, crashing onto the broken rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, it was this person standing at the top of the mountain gate, shouting warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he lay dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed had visited the Ridge Family countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew every mechanism, every building like the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This mountain as a grave is quite fitting for Truman Ridge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, Julius Reed held his nose and walked through the dusty air into the Ridge Family’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>",1416,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae2a8f00a085b96667d55adca1d2a37b7747c1fe60327c3d37fec228f16b753a","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1006","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1004",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
