When Julius Reed leaped down from the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monty Reed on the rooftop suddenly began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Nathanael Warm climbed out from the ninth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattered corpses on the ground turned into the cloak he had thrown earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the blood was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Nathanael Warm’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloak was already torn to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye on it had also been shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathanael Warm squatted weakly on the rooftop, covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right arm had been cleanly severed, revealing the white bone that oozed blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at last, his life was saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t learned the life-saving techniques of Boulevard Swordsmanship after becoming demonized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he probably would have turned into a pool of blood long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead beyond recognition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll never be able to defeat him in this lifetime…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathanael Warm sat slumped on the rooftop, his eyes filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even completely ignoring his bleeding right shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip-drip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-colored blood dripped onto the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled as he picked up Monty Reed and vanished from the copper turtledove pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breeze blew by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pieces of the cloak dissipated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dark-colored blood congealed on the concrete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And gradually dried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the copper turtledove pavilion, Julius Reed went straight for the Five-state International Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He happened to hit the morning rush hour traffic jam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling for a helicopter would be somewhat slow, so he simply rode a shared bicycle on the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though people might think the Rolex on his wrist was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t have a Rolex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bicycle was fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s legs pedaled non-stop, the bike chain sparking with the friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many electric scooters were left far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Five-state International was quite a distance from the copper turtledove pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was in the city center, and the other in the suburbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was burning with impatience…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, at the Five-state International Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe left in a bad state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t leave by car; instead, he waited for the upcoming good show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother of the Leopold Family would appear and then die in front of Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Public murder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no small crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just for this alone, it was enough to have Quella Radcliffe locked up for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, Otis Radcliffe clenched his fists tightly around the car seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are the arrangements going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked the driver in the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything’s ready, our people will create chaos, draw away Julius Reed’s bodyguards, and then Third Brother of the Leopold Family will take the opportunity to go over and commit suicide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver spoke in a heavy tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the cameraman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe was somewhat worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original plan was to use the public’s sway to gain access to Five-state International’s surveillance cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, everyone was worshiping Itai Huntington, and even if Quella Radcliffe murdered someone in public, these people might pretend not to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe never imagined that Julius Reed would turn out to be the chairman of the Willson Group!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he fight this battle now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a commercial behemoth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Gonzalez City combined wasn’t enough for the Willson Group to swallow in one bite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he had returned home in glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now thinking back, Otis Radcliffe felt a scorching pain on his face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Five-state International lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business people just coming out of the meeting room crowded around Quella Radcliffe and Itai Huntington, starting to flatter them ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stark contrast to their previous attitude, these very people who hours ago were clamoring for Itai Huntington to leave with dignity, were now singing her praises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Quella Radcliffe, we hope to interview you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people pretended to be reporters and quickly moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore and Karen alertly blocked in front of Quella Radcliffe, impatiently shooing them away: “Back off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those people, without uttering another word, forced their way through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Protect Quella Radcliffe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Rolex on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few punches down, he had these people flipped over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could catch his breath, dozens more people rushed in from the door!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it’s hard to fight against overwhelming numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could definitely fight and win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with dozens of people coming at once, he couldn’t ensure Quella Radcliffe’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore walked over with Jensen Cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dragon, it’s time for action, what about the antidote?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jensen Cook pulled out a black pill from his bosom and stuffed it into Horton Moore’s hand: “We agreed on 30 billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s not there, you know what I’m capable of!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore swallowed the pill and gave a thumbs up: “Brother Dragon, you are too kind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See that woman over there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s Julius Reed’s wife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jensen Cook frowned slightly, puzzled: “Why such chaos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people surrounded them, and although Terry Moore kept striking out, those people had already pushed away Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter and began closing in on Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect, someone’s helping out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore was also taken aback; he hadn’t expected Quella Radcliffe to have so many bodyguards by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure flashed by!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa Pine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With swift punches descending, the several men close to Quella Radcliffe all fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take care of this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jensen Cook chuckled and started to close in on the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could walk over in plain sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Jensen Cook didn’t notice, however, was that Horton Moore had already quietly slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill of securing one’s place in life is to always hide behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who dies, Horton Moore always lives on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, he’s very much like Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scarpered off in a flash, climbed into a sedan, and headed straight for Gonzalez City Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success or not, he had to get out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jensen Cook didn’t notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth, and a poison needle shot out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa Pine shoved Quella Radcliffe, and the poison needle grazed past Quella’s head, embedding itself into a concrete pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Playing dirty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Jensen Cook, Vanessa Pine leapt up and swept out with her right leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, hiding in the crowd, Third Brother of Leopold Family immediately ran to Quella Radcliffe’s front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed Quella’s hand onto the handle of a small knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knife plunged into his own heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell to the ground, stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Templeton Lena kicked out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just arrived from the Bronze Sparrow Platform and saw this dangerous scene unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, there was no serious harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quella Radcliffe has committed murder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stopped what they were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Terry Moore turned around to look at the corpse on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother of Leopold Family’s eyes were wide open, utterly lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knife was stuck in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood kept gushing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catch Jensen Cook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting to Vanessa Pine, Templeton Lena picked up the body of Third Brother and quickly left Five-state International.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But many people had already taken photos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were quickly posted online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time for anyone to delete the evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲοѵǥᴑ.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was eerily silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath, unsure of what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Vanessa Pine kicked Jensen Cook, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could strike again, several poisonous snakes flew out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Vanessa Pine had cut down the poisonous snakes, she realized that Jensen Cook had vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She roared in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, sirens blared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous officers rushed in, surrounding the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too coincidental!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone must have called the police in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could it be that right after Quella Radcliffe’s supposed act of murder, police cars arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is Quella Radcliffe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading officer stepped forward, holding the video that had just been posted online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The knife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer looked around and gestured, and the other officers carefully picked up the knife from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Templeton Lena had made such a sudden escape, taking the body but inadvertently leaving the knife behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Quella Radcliffe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe shakily raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take her away, cooperate with the investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the officer finished speaking, a pair of ice-cold handcuffs were placed on her wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: I’m not leaving you hanging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I write a thousand words per hour, so for four chapters, that’s eight thousand words and eight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You call me slow and I’ll take it; writing slowly is my fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when it comes to typing, I’m still using the two-finger zen method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I type with just two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I still have to look at the keyboard, then the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you say I’m keeping you in suspense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fingers are sore from writing, I truly can’t write any faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And about the update times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no drafts saved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I post at midnight because that’s when I finish writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I post without finishing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think I like staying up late to write?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I post two hours earlier, that’s when I started writing this chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this last chapter, that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started at 23:20 and wrote until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One o’clock in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s relatively fast for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No point in explanations – some of you think I have drafts and purposely post at midnight to keep you guessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I do explain, you say I talk too much nonsense, too much hot air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just looked at my Rolex, and it’s past one in the morning, yet here I am still typing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I really be taking flak for being so diligent…\u003C\u002Fp>",1696,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","bec95852522153a14da5d94759f3b15030c1cec7453c0873f337b0bfe3076bcb","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1019","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1017",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
