Everyone, be cautious!\" She walked over and slowly opened the steel gate after speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate of the Young Family was solid steel—thick enough to withstand artillery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it opened, a young man holding a paper fan strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four attendants followed closely behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Young, greetings!\" The young man greeted her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s Young Master Caldwell.\" Gabriel Young immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Caldwells of Boulevard Mountain weren’t people the guards would dare to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, more martial artists trailed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would someone from the Caldwell Family suddenly visit Swimming City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it about Merrill Caldwell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has my sister gone to bed yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master glanced around casually before his gaze locked on Julius Reed in shock. \"You, you, you... why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier today, this Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance master had effortlessly defeated both the East Sea sorcerer and the West Sea deity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now they’d crossed paths again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why shouldn’t I be here? Your sister’s here too!\" Julius Reed figured this kid might be missing some brain cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was, after all, the nominal head of this household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words \"your sister\" made the young master’s temper flare up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no way of venting his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine! Aunt Young, I’ll cut to the chase!\" He took a deep breath and said, \"The Caldwell Family received intelligence that someone’s been bullying my sister. Tonight, I came here because of that. No one from Boulevard Caldwell can be bullied anywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullying?\" Gabriel Young thought it over and shook her head. \"No one’s bullied Merrill; she’s fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. Caldwell spies never make mistakes!\" The young master pulled out his phone and dialed a number. \"I’m at the Young Family estate. Who did you see bullying Miss Caldwell that day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who? A man named Julius—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your signal bad? Maybe those high-voltage lines are causing interference.\" Julius Reed unsheathed his sword and swung it forcefully forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A one-meter-thick concrete pillar thirty meters away exploded into rubble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master stared blankly at the wreckage, his throat tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master? Young Master? Can you hear me? The one who bullied Miss Caldwell is named Julius—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who bullied your sister?\" Julius Reed sheathed his sword and asked, \"Was it me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it be!\" The young master’s face twitched as he forced a smile. \"The intelligence must’ve been wrong... fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good then. I’m heading back to bed.\" Julius Reed glanced at him meaningfully before turning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Julius Reed’s silhouette faded, the young master used his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This monster was even stronger than the power he had shown earlier in the day!\u003C\u002Fp>",1426,"2026-06-06T17:05:36.318Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd4a72ee8189d5e3761bc3b9262ddb15a6d7263c8cdac4616f887049e76f0ede","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1514","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1512",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
