Such people deserved to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Going to talk or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook, holding Winston Pendleton’s head in one hand, asked emotionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his other hand, a knife was still dripping with fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh! Bane Cook, I’m a man too. Since I took the money, I was prepared to meet death! Come on, don’t fucking make me look down on you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton’s face was pale, his clothes already soaked with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost both ears, and with an eye gone, there was no point in living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, as long as Julius Reed was willing to let him live, he could have revealed some secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that Bane Cook would be so fierce right from the start, pushing him towards a dead end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone, bring the salt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Winston Pendleton was still being defiant, Bane Cook extended a hand, and from inside his off-road vehicle, a man immediately stepped out, holding a bag of salt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People say that pouring salt on a wound hurts; I want to see if your, Mr. Bread’s, bones are tougher, or if my, Bane Cook’s, knives are blunter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he sprinkled salt on the open stub of Winston Pendleton’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton clenched his teeth tightly, cracking sounds emanating as his entire body sweated profusely, shaking like a sieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bane Cook, you won’t die a good death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed desperately, but it was in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you were made of steel and iron, I’d shatter you to pieces today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook threw the salt aside and took out a bottle of mustard oil from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Going to talk or not, Mr Bread? Don’t blame a brother for not showing you mercy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he dripped a few drops onto the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton’s eyes rolled back as he fainted from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wake him up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook walked past the body to another car and pulled out two children from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bucket of water poured on him, Winston Pendleton shivered and weakly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were not for his strong physique, he would have likely been tortured to death by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luka, Betty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the two children, Winston Pendleton’s body shook, and then he shouted venomously, “Bane Cook, calamities should not involve family! Why did you bring my children here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry! I heard your kids went abroad last month; it took quite an effort to get them back from there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook squatted down to pat the two children’s heads, speaking with a face full of affection, “With such changes at the high level of Titan Group, as the person responsible, I absolutely can’t ignore it! If you prove to be innocent, naturally, I will let the children go. But unfortunately, you are a traitor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve suspected me all along?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton’s mouth twitched continuously, and he was also somewhat mentally fractured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook shook his head, “Even if it were Ovidiu Cook trying to move his relatives, I would still bring them back! It’s my responsibility, and I can’t afford any negligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He touched the children’s heads and whispered softly, “Quickly, call daddy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daddy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two little girls around the age of four looked at Winston Pendleton, calling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ‘Daddy’ completely broke through Winston Pendleton’s psychological defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Children are innocent, I tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton closed his eyes, speaking in extreme agony, “Three months ago, a senior came to Five-river Province, handed me fifty million directly, and asked me to do something for them. I wanted to refuse at that time, but they promised me, once it was done, at least ten billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he looked at Julius Reed with bitterness, “I couldn’t resist the temptation and betrayed you, boss. Then, he told me the whole plan, how I was to use my job’s convenience to ensure absolute fatal outcomes, then I agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten billion? Not a small amount, I would have done the same,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded, the other party really was willing to spend money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ovidiu Cook was a real bastard, having the ordeal occur right under his nose without detecting a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bane Cook who at least managed to control Winston Pendleton’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I couldn’t see the person’s face very clearly, but he was around forty years old and very rich. The most important point, he’s a local from Five-river Province,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Winston Pendleton swallowed his saliva, pleading, “That’s really all I know, please, let the children go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Bread, I’m asking you one last time, are you sure you haven’t hidden anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook crouched on the ground, staring fixedly at Winston Pendleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I dare not hide a single thing! I have told you everything, I haven’t lied to you at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton nodded hastily, “After you kill me, I only ask you to treat my children well. I have done things I shouldn’t have while alive, I have no regrets in death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Bane Cook cracked a smile, but this smile sent shivers down everyone’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly drew his knife and plunged it directly into a child’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton’s eyes split with fury, trying to struggle and rush over, but he was firmly held down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Bread, I gave you your chance. Clearly, you didn’t cherish it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook pushed the child away and walked behind the other little girl, “You tell me the children are innocent? Isn’t the boss’s life innocent? Your sister-in-law was also attacked, only your daughter’s life is precious, and theirs are not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be hypocritical!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, “The person who approached me is Fabio Pendleton, originally planning to leave Five-river Province tonight. But since the boss isn’t dead, I reckon he might leave earlier once he gets the news. He’s at the Titan Group’s Azure Wind Hotel, room 607.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s more like it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook twirling his dagger, slowly approached Winston Pendleton, “Actually, I didn’t know this, it was just speculation that you might be hiding something. But I didn’t expect I’d actually be right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston Pendleton’s eyes widened, just as he was about to speak, a knife pierced through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I’ll go catch him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling out the knife, Bane Cook wiped the blood off it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aron Jackson, you go with him, I’m going back to check on your sister-in-law. Get back to me with results immediately after the interrogation,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned and walked to a sedan, started the engine, ready to head home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe having been attacked, despite nothing serious happening, was still something he couldn’t let go of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I don’t want to work with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson walked helplessly in front of Julius Reed, shrugging, “That guy is too ruthless, his employees have no sense of security.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aron Jackson, I’ve heard a lot about you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Cook was unapologetic, wrapping an arm around Aron Jackson, laughing loudly, “Come on, let’s finish the job, then drink a few!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his hand smeared blood directly on Aron Jackson’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fabio Pendleton, ah! I truly feel sad for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the torture Fabio Pendleton was going to face, Aron Jackson sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","cb76e7dac9f3d8f50c37db88d8aea72873db533993016fa72610700ff0a38e9b","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-305","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-303",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
