Almost... it’s two different people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept his eyes fixed on Hawthorne, constantly pondering in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A martial artist’s foundational style is usually hard to change once established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some are used to going all out with grand gestures, adopting bold martial arts techniques for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others are deceptive and cunning, making it nearly impossible for them to be straightforward and upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muscle memory and long-standing tendencies cause martial artists to instinctively resort to their tried-and-tested habits when they strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be proficient in both techniques like Hawthorne is extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pruitt Wilde had doubted, but although the man in front of him was strong, there was still a significant gap from being the Holy Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his methods appeared somewhat immature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I first met this servant, his entire family had been killed. It was tragic; he was squatting on the ground crying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned and pointed at Hawthorne: \"I saw his determined eyes and asked if he wanted to unjustly kill. He said he wanted revenge, but vengeance changes a person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told him that those immersed in hatred aren’t happy and lack brightness. I’m willing to help him seal off his hatred so he could live happily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he accepted?\" Pruitt Wilde asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone having their family killed would likely seek vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the vengeance, that murderous nature would be deeply rooted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In dreams, those nightmares would repeatedly occur, each occurrence causing a person to relive their past pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, human nature changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He accepted. He also felt he should become a joyous person. Only then could he give comfort to his deceased family.\" Julius Reed smiled faintly: \"So I sealed off his killing intent, making him a polite person. In all matters, convince with virtue, don’t harm the harmony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A feasible method indeed. Though he forsakes vengeance, at least life thereafter will be vibrant.\" Pruitt Wilde nodded in agreement: \"A person cannot live within hatred. Hatred truly changes a person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forsakes vengeance? Why abandon it?\" Julius Reed retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But didn’t you say he chose a new life?\" Pruitt Wilde was stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be he misunderstood the other’s meaning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, only by letting go of hatred can life begin anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revenge, once initiated, is virtually unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He may forgo vengeance, but I can’t.\" Julius Reed flashed a white-toothed grin, smiling softly: \"I killed his foes, pushed them off the cliff, starved alive, eaten bit-by-bit by birds. He may forego vengeance, but that doesn’t mean I will stand idly by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you people are truly intriguing.\" Pruitt Wilde felt suddenly that he couldn’t quite see through the young man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile in the distance, Hawthorne let loose his sealed intent, every move brimming with murderous intention!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing Lucien Radcliffe back hundreds of meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final punch landed on Lucien Radcliffe’s shoulder, driving away the female demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, she’s gone. Now, what’s the deal with you and Hidden Gate? Can you talk about it?\" Julius Reed pointed at the barbecue on the ground, asking: \"Want to drink a little more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No thanks.\" Pruitt Wilde shook his head refusing. \"Hidden Gate’s strength comes from something called the ’Witch,’ which provides power. It’s precisely because of this Witch that there’s today’s Hidden Gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected.\" Julius Reed nodded in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a powerful force, a sect could never appear out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly is this Witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s its connection with the divine realm and the underworld?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You plan on going to Hidden Gate?\" Julius Reed asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no choice.\" Pruitt Wilde nodded. \"Otherwise, I’m truly worried I’ll become a puppet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Farewell.\" Julius Reed turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won’t meet again.\" Pruitt Wilde smirked and pressed his lips: \"We’re not cut from the same cloth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The martial world is vast; saying goodbye guarantees another meeting.\" Julius Reed vanished into the snowy plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, youth, still naive and fearless.\" Pruitt Wilde shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t simply searching for himself but wanted to meet this so-called Witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the mountain, he once told Julius Reed, in this life, he had no other goals left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To take down a handful of so-called gods would be worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going there would lead to certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never considered surviving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lived a lifetime already, and after dying once, he had long since seen clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, he bowed to these so-called gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life, he wants gods to bow before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hidden Gate, huh?

Oh, this young man, heavy-handed.\" Julius Reed reached out and touched Lucien Radcliffe’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hawthorne entered his berserk mode, he heavily wounded Lucien Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This massive transformation is generally difficult for ordinary people to adapt to, let alone Lucien Radcliffe who deemed Hawthorne non-threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you truly wish to kill me, just do it. Threatening me now surely holds a purpose. Speak then, what do you want.\" Lucien Radcliffe raised her head, glaring at Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see Auntie.\" Julius Reed closed in with a mischievous grin: \"Is that fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible, Auntie is not someone you wish to see and can just meet.\" Lucien Radcliffe coldly huffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I know where your Hidden Gate is, even if you don’t lead me, I have ways.\" Julius Reed chuckled lightly: \"Alright, I know, Black Dragon Cave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucien Radcliffe’s face was full of shock, almost instinctively blurting out: \"How do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Kims withdrew the gun and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the astonished Lucien Radcliffe behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say, Dragon Dance ability is sometimes genuinely helpful.\" Julius Reed patted Shadow Kims: \"I know what you’re thinking, if she weren’t my sister-in-law, could she live till now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-06T17:06:04.422Z",1,"novelbin.me","3c4247944595ef9fc5cac6a71c44b6426791f04df7a405480798c23a3b1800ae","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-2229","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-2227",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
