Look around this street, besides you, is there anyone else?” Solaris Grove turned his head and immediately put on a different face, “Princess, please don’t be hasty. This uncouth boor doesn’t recognize what’s good for him. I’ll teach him a lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On this trip, we carry a mission entrusted by our king, we must not cause trouble without reason,” Baylor Davenport said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solaris Grove urged his Mont Horse forward, facing Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was met with a cold shoulder, but he dared not show his anger towards Baylor Davenport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fawning dog, though a fawning dog, could turn into a Tibetan mastiff if provoked with a different target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be ungrateful!

What bad luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that he was quite pleased with himself in The North Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would never be so arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A blind man, surviving in Swimming City?” Baylor Davenport shook his head, preparing to ride away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A blind man, of course, has the skills of a blind man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed said leisurely, “I surmise, Miss, that you must have lost your husband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baylor Davenport yanked on the reins, her tone suddenly changing, “Say that again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this statement, including Solaris Grove, all eyes from The North Sea turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too accurate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The North Sea son-in-law had been injured a few days ago in a fierce fight with bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That very night, he passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adversary was extremely powerful, so much so that even Everton Davenport himself couldn’t stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the other party were a normal person, seeing these plain clothes, they could have guessed as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem now was, the other party was blind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What nonsense are you spouting!” Just as Solaris Grove was about to lose his temper, Baylor Davenport interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blind man, you claim to be a fortune teller?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baylor Davenport looked at Julius Reed with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his face was covered with a veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His features were indiscernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a pair of eyes, indeed somewhat captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From The North Sea to Swimming City, the journey was dull and tedious, and Baylor Davenport was looking for some amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.” Julius Reed nodded but then shook his head, “Because my predictions are too accurate, it’s easy to be silenced by murder. Hence, I guess the young lady wants me to do some fortune-telling. I’m sorry, but I refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Julius Reed turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, a sword appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword blade was just 0.01 millimeters from his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, void and expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why trouble me unnecessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, gently pushing the sword blade away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sword seemed to be drawn even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three questions, if you answer all correctly, I won’t kill you,” Baylor Davenport leaned in slightly, her face playful, “First, who am I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Pearl of The North Sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed merely uttered four words, yet they added a touch of gravity to Baylor Davenport’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The second question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baylor Davenport became somewhat serious, “I came to Swimming City, what for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The world bustles along, all for profit. I’ve heard, a treasure has recently appeared in Swimming City,” Julius Reed said half of what he meant, the understanding ones would naturally comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The last question!” Baylor Davenport’s sword edged closer once more, “Today, will I kill you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A question of life and death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed laughed confidently, “No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baylor Davenport similarly chuckled, “You’re wrong. I will send you on your way right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her sword thrust fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With just a eunuch, a princess of a fallen nation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Julius Reed finished speaking, Baylor Davenport’s sword stopped mid-thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortune Teller, the General invites you in, there’s important business to discuss!” Just then, the Righteous Mansion’s gate was pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A number of The North Sea guards rushed out, surrounding Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1405,"2026-06-06T17:05:28.513Z",1,"novelbin.me","4aee700d13e685845e16fdeb5ce71786fad755dc71f97ec2147ec7a7c404959c","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1396","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1394",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
