Instead, he turned to Zade Radcliffe, who was following closely behind: “Old Master Radcliffe, I just received a call from the company. There’s a financial issue, and the tax bureau’s people have already arrived at the company for an inspection. I’m very sorry about today, but it’s an emergency, and I have to go back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Stanislaus Potter immediately understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feigning surprise, he hurriedly asked, “Could it be that business on the west side of the city?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! That’s the one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miguel Abbott, cunning as always, quickly agreed: “Mr. Potter, if I remember correctly, you have three properties in the west side of the city, could it be that…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct! If there’s trouble on the west side, I certainly can’t escape it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stanislaus Potter sighed and looked at Zade Radcliffe with a guilty expression: “Old Master, today is just unfortunate. We thought everything was well arranged, and we planned to stay in Gonzalez City for a few days to have a good discussion with you. Who would have anticipated this situation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sang in perfect harmony, as if performing a duet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, it’s alright! Business executives like yourselves are busy men and should take care of company matters first. Radcliffe here is always ready to welcome you at any time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zade Radcliffe, having spent so long in the business world, naturally knew what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt a bit disappointed about the deal slipping away at the last moment, it was still good to meet the two executives and gain some goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, we’ll head back to the company to sort out the finances. We’ll discuss the date for the next inspection after we return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stanislaus Potter shook hands with Zade Radcliffe once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Until next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miguel Abbott swiftly boarded his car and dialed Julius Reed’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Reed, Mr. Potter and I are in the car, ready to head back to Five-river Province immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Don’t make a move against Zade Radcliffe for now. Let him and Otis savor the joy for a bit longer, as the saying goes, ‘The higher you fly, the harder you fall.’ As for the electronics company up north, keep them appeased for now, I’ll handle them when I have time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, I will follow all of Mr. Reed’s instructions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve really left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the hospital entrance, Quella Radcliffe received a WeChat message from Dempsey Davenport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It said that for some unknown reason, the two executives received a phone call just as they were about to enter the company’s gates and turned around and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! Your husband is quite impressive, you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stood up from the steps, patting the dust off his backside: “Your mom’s quality of life is really not bad, you should buy some of these fruits too when you go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not going to the office?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe blinked her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why go now that the main players have left? Let’s not clarify this matter with Zade and the others just yet, let them jump around for a few more days. I might need to leave for a few days, and you must stay at home during that time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sighed, took Quella Radcliffe’s hand as he walked her to the car, and reiterated, “Stay at home, it’s the safest place there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When are you leaving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was somewhat reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just returned, and now he was leaving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, perhaps. The situation has been a bit tricky lately, and I need to look into one matter. If this trouble isn’t resolved, you could be in danger at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took Quella Radcliffe’s hand, smiling as he spoke: “You’ve suffered with me by your side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since his identity became clear, there had been a continuous stream of assassination attempts, and Quella had adapted through each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this still made Julius Reed feel guilty inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then this afternoon, accompany Anna to her brother’s hotpot restaurant. If I leave, it might be dangerous for just the two of us to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure! I’ve been craving hotpot too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll give Anna a call, and we can head straight there. Now that you mention it, I’m hungry too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe showed a rare smile, pulling out her phone to call Anna Harris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one o’clock in the afternoon, Julius Reed picked up Anna Harris, and the three of them headed to the firepot restaurant together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a firepot restaurant named Harris’s King Prawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, the shop was deserted, with only one car parked at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna, didn’t you say this place was booming? How come it looks deserted like a ghost town now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the car, Quella Radcliffe saw that the neighboring shops were bustling, only Harris’s King Prawn was eerily quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That shouldn’t be! My brother told me that you have to make a reservation at this time, and even with a reservation, there might not be a spot available.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris also looked puzzled, glancing at the only car, she said, “That’s still my brother’s car. When I used to video chat with him, I had to either get up early or in the middle of the night; he never had time during the day. Today is just weird.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he knows you’re coming and cleared the place out for you,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed joked with a laugh, walking inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firepot restaurant was deserted, and a young man at the reception quickly stood up to greet the guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris limped over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was initially stunned, but as soon as he recognized that it was Anna Harris, he happily lifted her into a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My precious sister, you’ve finally come back! Why didn’t you tell me earlier, I was completely unprepared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei Harris’s face was also brimming with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their parents had divorced ten years ago and each started their own families. All of Anna Harris’s tuition fees over the years had been sponsored by Sergei Harris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this firepot restaurant was quite profitable in Gonzalez City, with an annual income of over a million, which allowed Anna Harris the chance to study abroad and make four to five hundred thousand a year after graduating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, why is it so slow today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris looked around the room, where there were no waiters in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to say the business was bad, the room was clean and tidy, nothing like it had been deserted for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… nothing’s wrong, these two are your friends, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei Harris hemmed and hawed, and upon seeing Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed, he quickly turned to get two bottles of soda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Quella Radcliffe, and this man is her husband, Julius Reed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris said with a smile while introducing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed? Why does that sound so familiar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei Harris tried hard to remember, but couldn’t recall where he had heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The well-known loser of Gonzalez City, the Radcliffe Family’s son-in-law!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took the soda, grinning as he explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago, that wedding made quite the stir in Gonzalez City, the couple was mismatched, and even the lead wedding car got smashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei Harris suddenly realized, but then he quickly scratched his head and said, “That’s all nonsense. From what I see, you look like a person of talent, you can’t be as bad as they say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a scumbag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris muttered from the side, “Brother, we want to eat firepot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris’s King Prawn firepot was quite famous, and it was one of the things Anna Harris had to eat every time she returned to Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his sister’s words, Sergei Harris looked troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? He’s paying! It won’t be free!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris said teasingly, not believing her brother to be stingy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about we go out to eat…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei Harris hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the glass door was kicked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sergei Harris, you still dare to keep your shop open? Didn’t I tell you if you don’t leave today, I’d smash up your place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the shout, a group of thugs rushed into the firepot restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>",1440,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0c5931545054b3abcfddcc5a444033c47c1afd7e1b4d8ff5f4924b22ee23394","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-318","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-316",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
