Abbott had always considered himself well-versed in the world’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was among the wealthiest magnates in Five-river Province, owning dozens of companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a fortune worth tens of billions, he often attended major domestic and international exhibitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he entered the Ridge Family estate to start the inventory of their assets, his breathing became labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching truckloads of valuables leaving, Miguel’s legs shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealth hidden within the Ridge Family was equivalent to the total assets of some small nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many national treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a few items that Miguel had even seen in magazines, described as lost treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the world of the wealthy be this unadorned and dull?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the final tally of the assets, Miguel unexpectedly discovered that the Ridge Family were shareholders in ninety percent of the publicly-listed companies in Five-river Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that he now directly controlled the economic lifeline of Five-river Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearly fifty-year-old man collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him a long time to regain his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Western Emperor, I…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how to express my excitement, please accept my bow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frances Leocadia knelt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed felt a touch of embarrassment, “I have some matters to deal with recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once settled, I will go to the mountains to continue painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, don’t mention today’s event to anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frances Leocadia said excitedly, “I am known as a man of sealed lips on Northern Mount!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please rest assured, Western Emperor, once I return, I will devote myself to diligent practice and will not disgrace your venerable name!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his speech, he trembled as he pulled a painting from his robe, “This is a scroll I’ve cherished for a year, painted impromptu during my travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I now dedicate it to the Western Emperor, and hope it finds favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded, took the painting from the car window, and tossed it onto the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll was made of precious materials, but what hadn’t Julius Reed seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he didn’t pay much attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bid farewell to the Western Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frances Leocadia bowed deeply in fervor, prostrating himself, “Take care, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed waved his hand, and the driver immediately drove him and Aron Jackson towards the Kensington estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they left than Frances Leocadia excitedly pulled out his phone and called his master, “Master, I met the Western Emperor in Five-river Province, and he even spoke to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, without waiting for his master to reply, Frances quickly hung up and immediately called his senior fellow disciple, “Guess who I met today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Western Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even spoke to me, you know, and I even presented him with a portrait of a beauty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until his phone battery died, Frances remained somewhat reluctant to end the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me think, who else haven’t I boasted to about this?” he muttered to himself, “The Western Emperor actually spoke to me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Taoist is quite interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson sat in the passenger seat, grinning, “Big brother, wherever you go, you’re like a celestial being!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet some dare to oppose you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ridge Family was simply digging its own grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had been compliant, their descendants for at least five generations could have been wealthy and prestigious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many people could ever ask for such a life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Truman Ridge schemed in every way possible to oppose Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an ant trying to stop a vehicle, there was only one outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Frances Leocadia, despite initially claiming he would kill Julius Reed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had shown utmost respect afterward, undoubtedly saving his own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a hand stretched forward won’t strike a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ridge Family was clearly getting too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every ten years, I go to Northern Mount for a tour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery is beautiful there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frances Leocadia is a decent man, at least he knows gratitude,” Julius Reed leaned back in the rear seat, slowly closing his eyes, “Next time I go, I’ll teach him a move or two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solely observing my sword from a distance left a lasting impression on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person can certainly make a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Frances Leocadia has a solid foundation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his swordsmanship is heavens apart from mine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had managed to comprehend a hint of dominance, far surpassing most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the path, what’s most needed is insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine parts effort, one part talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But often, it’s the talent that sets the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Kensington Family’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of gongs and drums filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire courtyard was already covered with red carpets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firecrackers burst at the entrance, and luxury cars crowded the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brodie Kensington stood at the doorstep, dressed neatly in a black Chinese tunic suit, leaning on a pure gold cane with a dragon head, his expression lively and spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his side, Theodore Kensington also wore the long robe of the Kensington Family Martial Arts School, with a group of apprentices standing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the firecrackers had exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was covered with red paper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the influential people of Five-river Province dare to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still didn’t dare to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Leader of Zade Sect, Crosby Michael has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following a shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man in a white robe descended from a sedan, immediately surrounded by two assistants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One on the left and one on the right, holding up a plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden characters on the plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using softness to overcome hardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest under heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Leader Crosby!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore quickly walked over and took Crosby Michael’s hand, “Your presence at our humble home truly brings glory to my family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both being martial artists, the Zade Sect was very renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with Sect Leader Crosby’s presence in person, Theodore, as a junior, felt somewhat overwhelmed by the honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crosby Michael coughed lightly and spoke, “Your Kensington Family in Five-river Province is very famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝονǤ0.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninety percent of the martial arts schools are under your control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I not come when your family is hosting such a grand ceremony?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he wouldn’t even look at such an invitation; he would throw it directly into the trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what Crosby Michael’s abilities were like, the reputation of Zade Sect was very impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many foreign friends even became disciples under him, wishing to learn Chinese kung fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such status, Crosby Michael was destined not to consider the smaller Kensington Family highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now things were different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kensington Family had a Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a young one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Crosby Michael had a great reputation, his actual skills were not very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have the skills of Brodie Kensington, but his marketing was very successful, leading people to mistakenly believe he was a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he did not act, outsiders would always think he was a master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unrivaled master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of his disciples all believed their master was a Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Great Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Crosby Michael knew in his heart that he was far from being a Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the appearance of a young Grandmaster in the Kensington Family, the entire martial arts world was hugely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crosby Michael had to attend, aiming to establish a good relationship with Hendrick Kensington.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Leader Crosby, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore, excited, extended his hand, gesturing for Crosby Michael to enter first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several apprentices from the Kensington Family Martial Arts School quickly dashed forward to lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Matthew Moore from Wellington Radcliffe has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another shout followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in a long robe and glasses slowly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Matthew?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it Matthias Moore, the young Grandmaster renowned throughout Wellington Radcliffe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Matthias Moore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, with Master Matthew in Wellington Radcliffe, the Kensington Family had to act according to his mood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with a young Grandmaster emerging in the Kensington Family, it’s like the north and south watching each other from a distance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, will Master Matthew make a move?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figures in the martial arts community of Five-river Province whispered among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three-river Province bordered Five-river Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In between, there was a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matthias Moore was indeed from Wellington Radcliffe, and all martial arts schools within Three-river Province belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest obstacle for the Kensington Family to break out from Five-river Province was Master Matthew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this long-revered Grandmaster’s appearance made these martial artists indulge in fanciful thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a Grandmaster duel, it would definitely be a sight to see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President of the Martial Arts Association, Cooper Ridge has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third call silenced the entire venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Martial Arts Association!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once an unparalleled martial arts sanctuary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with both the deputy president and the president consecutively killed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it had turned into a laughing stock within the entire martial arts community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the new president condescending to attend the Kensington family’s grand event?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes involuntarily fell on Cooper Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the new president’s first public appearance since the trouble at the Martial Arts Association!\u003C\u002Fp>",1548,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","72e37fd5c91b90c5c9c0264a6437f5124a6596b2dcdc46ff72ef5f810a28d422","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1047","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1045",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
