When we get back, I’ll give Branley a good talking-to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed didn’t bother with him and walked away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call was from Templeton Lena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nelson, you talk to him. After all, we’ll all be one family in the future. Today was my fault! In a few days, I’ll host a banquet in your honor,” Finnegan Springs said with an awkward smile as he turned to apologize to Nelson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson replied perfunctorily and turned to walk into the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious about what Julius Reed and her foster mother had actually discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever it was, it was like meeting the parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the corridor,Julius Reed pulled out his phone and pressed the answer key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mad Dragon! Just as you suspected, the Donovan Family Group has indeed had a massive outflow of funds, to a shell company owned by one boss with a few employees.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Templeton Lena’s voice came from inside, “That boss isn’t well-known in Star City, but nearly half of the Donovan Family’s profits have flowed into his account.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was from a secret agent background, and for him, investigating this matter was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Donovan Family was a top-tier family, it still seemed somewhat naive facing the people from the martial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me an address.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Julius Reed hung up the phone, he leapt from the tall building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his descent, he texted Nelson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telling her he needed to leave first due to some matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a forward roll, he disappeared from the premises of the Donovan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Royal Dragon Entertainment Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly overweight middle-aged man lay on the bed in a luxurious suite, wearing a bathrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he clutched a phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a very attractive blonde woman, dressed in a negligee thin as gossamer, knelt on the bed, massaging the man’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. King, please rest assured, I will arrange the funds as soon as possible, not delaying the boss’s big plans. Tomorrow afternoon, the Donovan Family will transfer the money as scheduled, and I am urging the other six families as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man made a video call, holding the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dominic, the boss trusts your work. But this time, it’s really not like before,” said a young man in a suit on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man sat on a chair, his back against a wall adorned with dragon patterns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It glittered with gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand!” the fat man waved his hand, and the woman immediately placed the quilt under him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning back on the quilt, the fat man seemed much more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this time, the boss’s demands are indeed too high. Previously, the Donovan Family alone could satisfy our needs. But now, the boss has tripled the demand. With such a vast amount of capital needed, I genuinely require some time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, his face showing difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to hear this,” the youth said displeasedly on the video, “Dominic, I know exactly how many kickbacks you’ve taken over the years, and so does the boss! if you disappoint the boss this time, you know the consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. King, please rest assured! I will arrange it as fast as I can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Dominic immediately broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Branley Sinclair is currently at the Royal Court; I’ll talk to her to see if the Donovan Family can provide more funds. The rest is up to your capability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the video call was disconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic wiped the sweat from his forehead with his bathrobe, feeling utterly lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where am I supposed to get so much money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the phone on the bed, his mind in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Dominic received a call from the young Mr. King in that video, asking him to transfer money to the Royal Court account as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had been less than half a month since the last transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic was only responsible for laundering money, not creating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth had threatened him, forcing him to find money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic knew the Royal Court was dissatisfied with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he’d taken over this task, he had skimmed off countless amounts of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the amount mentioned by the youth, it was still somewhat more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear what Royal Court meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either cough up the money he had pocketed, or his life was on the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pained Dominic just thinking about it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to flee, escaping far away with the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money was enough for him to squander for ten lifetimes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But already, several bodyguards planted by the King had been closely monitoring him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the woman in front of him massaging his feet, Dominic Pendleton felt inexplicably irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed a pillow and hurled it violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman jumped to the ground in panic and quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only Dominic Pendleton was left in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys are really cruel! Making me work for nothing all these years, now you’re killing the chicken to get the eggs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been laundering money for the royal court and knew a bit about its affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the royal court, also referred to by Mr. King’s young man as the boss, was preparing to leave Star City for the East.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the royal court left, Dominic Pendleton would lose his usefulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed money for three years and hadn’t even had a chance to spend it, but now he had to spit it all out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of the royal court’s methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight carelessness would leave him with no remains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about considering working with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice came from above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out! Work with my ass…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic Pendleton hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly jumped up from the bed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face filled with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand reached under the quilt and pulled out a box of hidden weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted it swiftly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you! How did you get in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the young man standing by the bed, Dominic Pendleton’s head was covered in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a stranger have entered the room without him noticing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the nineteenth floor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the windows were still closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, there were bodyguards arranged by Mr. King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard everything you said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, “Work with me, and you might just save your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the location sent by Templeton Lena, he quickly arrived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he ran up to the nineteenth floor along the wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering through the window, he silently closed the window again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Dominic Pendleton was worrying about the royal court’s affairs, and Julius Reed’s movements were very light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t noticed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic Pendleton instinctively stepped back and shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in front of him made him afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door burst open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bodyguards rushed in rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two were skilled, the surveillance agents Mr. King had arranged to watch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic Pendleton just felt a blur in front of him, and his hand was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dart he had held was now in Julius Reed’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards quickly fell into pools of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead with one dart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Pendleton, it seems you don’t really want to talk properly,” Julius Reed said as he closed the door and tossed the box of hidden weapons to the floor, walking straight over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… are you human or a ghost…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic Pendleton’s face turned pale, and his throat kept twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had personally seen how strong the two dead men were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they be so easily defeated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m obviously human.
