everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sat on the sofa, staring at the wall clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed a bit distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson was sitting opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson had not yet recovered from the poisoning and was feeling somewhat weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, his face was pale as he leaned on the sofa, picked up a bottle of Coke, and guzzled it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burp…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immensely enjoyed letting out a burp after the cool soft drink went down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, you’re a master, you can go a day and a night without sleep and be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I, your employee, am still not over the poisoning, it’s going to kill me if I keep this up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson placed the Coke on the coffee table and glanced at the Rolex on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already twenty-four o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but yawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk some more about that matter with the letter from last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed propped up his chin, sinking into thought, “We need to go over the cause first, then the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονǥօ.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t feel at ease if we don’t clarify this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he killed Shirley, he had received top-secret information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter from Aron Jackson was given to him by Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is often said that a dying person’s words are kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t rule out the possibility that Shirley, facing death, threw a smoke bomb to confuse Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a high probability that her words were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing about Devlin, and even about this letter, she must have seen the top-secret information about Deep Cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could an East Asian Ninja Master come to know these things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A letter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aron Jackson heard about the letter, he suddenly felt it was a bit of a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, he leaned forward and asked, “Boss, this thing feels a bit messy, I can’t articulate it clearly in a short time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four years had passed since the events, and the letter had been burned long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson hadn’t taken it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his entire focus was on Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phone call from many years ago, with no recording, who could remember it clearly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must sort this out clearly, this matter is crucial!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took out a notebook from behind him and a pen as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was becoming more and more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t figure out Devlin’s motives back then, everything he did afterward would feel uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of those people who sent him to Gonzalez City four years ago had to be ascertained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would just be a pawn at the mercy of others now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For thousands of years, he had been the one playing chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time would be no exception!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four years ago, I was doing business in West Lake,” Aron Jackson frowned and began to recall, “Back then, under the boss’s guidance, I went from being a street wandering youth to a local wealthy merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had countless employees, and assets worth billions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Aron Jackson was in dire straits, harmed by a treacherous person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His assets were taken, and his wife, along with her lover, were trying to get him incarcerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Aron Jackson had many friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he fell on hard times, some of them extended a helping hand, which saved him from prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the company and all his property were taken away by that dog and bitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they arranged for a group of youths to follow him around every day, making him beg on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he resisted even slightly, they would beat him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It so happened that Julius Reed was passing by the area when he saw Aron Jackson being beaten up by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was almost beaten to death, the man being hit didn’t grunt from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of curiosity, Julius Reed drove away the thugs and rescued Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to hear his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of Julius Reed’s hobbies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living for an eternity could get excessively boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, listening to a common person tell their story could be intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human heart was the most interesting thing of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And human nature was the ugliest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, feeling grateful to have been rescued, Aron Jackson told his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed left him a billion yuan, reasoning that although the story was mediocre, he wanted to see the main character of the story turn his fate around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Aron Jackson took a hundred million and devoted himself to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within half a year, he had forced that despicable couple to leap from a building, taking their own lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Aron Jackson kept away from women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jennifer Lopez, that time, was really…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was passion of the flesh, not of the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Aron Jackson’s business grew larger and larger, becoming a well-known businessman in West Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With connections in both the underworld and legitimate circles, he was given the nickname White Impermanence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years later, Aron Jackson received a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put aside everything and came to Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all in order to repay a debt of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t remember it very clearly, but the letter was brought to my office by my secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one saw who delivered it, not even the surveillance,” he recollected, nodding continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I vaguely remember the first few words were, ‘The dragon falls, a phoenix arrives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Day and night are turned upside down, all beings are lost in a muddle.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Day and night turned upside down?'”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and repeated to himself, “The dragon falls…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the phoenix, who is the phoenix!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the day and night turned upside down, day and night upside down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows were furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunderpeak Hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emblem of Thunderpeak Hall was indeed that of day and night upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin, originally from the Seven Clouds Academy, later defected to Thunderpeak Hall to become Granny Xihua’s most capable assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the letter was indeed sent by Devlin, no doubt about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned around, asking indifferently, “Try to recall in detail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest of it mentioned your sudden amnesia, a group wanting to kill you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It asked me to come to Gonzalez City to ensure your safety, and that one day, you would remember everything,” Aron Jackson said after a thought, clasping his head with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, it’s been four years, I really can’t remember the specifics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s the gist of it; it ended with ‘burn after reading.’ The signature was Jorvik Reed, and it was written in first person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jorvik Reed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed quickly walked over and grabbed Aron Jackson by the collar: “Are you sure, it was Jorvik Reed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Positive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter was sealed, I checked carefully, and it certainly hadn’t been opened,” Aron Jackson nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The name signed was Jorvik Reed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why did you know it was me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s heart raced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jorvik Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the alias he had chosen for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eternity at his disposal, he had written some poetry and literature, painted some famous pieces for amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signed with the name Jorvik Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was a secret known to no one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a secret hidden deep within the heart of Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance must be exalted above all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must be shrouded in solemn grandeur!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not relish that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Jorvik Reed perfectly suited his desire to wander the Mortal World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a secret, even the four maids by his side had no clue of its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin could not possibly have known either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from the Seven Clouds Academy knew far less about him than the members of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know Jorlik Reed was me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stared intently into Aron Jackson’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by his gaze, Aron Jackson blinked and explained, “The letter said that when I was at my lowest, you helped me and now the time had come to repay that favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, when you left that card with me and told me the PIN, you disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I know your name?” He said with a look of aggrievement, “That bank card couldn’t be traced back to any personal information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until I came to Gonzalez City that I found out your name is Julius Reed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed felt like he had been struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly!” Aron Jackson nodded earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A daring idea materialized in Julius Reed’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be possible that he himself had written the letter and instructed Devlin to deliver it to Aron Jackson?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could the name Jorvik Reed have appeared in it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should go to sleep, I need some time alone,” said Julius Reed, waving his hand and pinching the bridge of his nose lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Gout is acting up, such torture, writing until almost 3 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t stay awake any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goodnight.\u003C\u002Fp>",1536,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","33ad888ebd7e39456293df9de4fa20a45e356e6d2e824e9f646344b98ffdf041","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1042","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1040",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
