I was in a bar in Five-River Province…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling Fairbanks glanced at Julius Reed, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating—could it be that it was this young man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sophia Leocadia was from the capital, how could she have friends here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of the opposite sex?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unheard of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you’re in Five-River Province, and my friend is right in front of you. Sterling Fairbanks, I’ll repeat what I said, if I don’t hear by tonight that my friend has forgiven you, your father will receive notice tomorrow morning that the cooperation with the Leocadia Family will be postponed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia Leocadia chuckled coldly, “With my position in the Leocadia Family, it wouldn’t be difficult to do this, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not difficult at all! Not at all!” Beads of sweat fell from Sterling Fairbanks’s forehead like raindrops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the Hall Family could establish a cooperation with the Leocadia Family was all thanks to the Hall Family’s persistent efforts over the past half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were all to be undone with just one word from Sophia Leocadia, Sterling Fairbanks could already envision his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly tragic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you know it’s not difficult, then you’d better make sure it happens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep-beep-beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia Leocadia hung up the call directly, giving Sterling Fairbanks no chance to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who… who is Julius Reed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call was disconnected, but Sterling Fairbanks’s hand holding the phone was still trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed his saliva, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and asked with a shaking voice, “Who is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Him! The one who hit me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Otis Radcliffe quickly stepped forward, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and wiped Sterling Fairbanks’s sweat for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely bootlicking behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Fairbanks, this person is too arrogant. You should sort him out and teach him a lesson!” While wiping, Otis Radcliffe fanned the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a chance for Julius Reed to never turn things around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hall Family from the capital was a major household! In Five-River Province, they had strong connections, and with people like Brayden Leopold behind him, a smile uncontrollably appeared on Otis Radcliffe’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling Fairbanks’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the scene he least wanted to witness had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man in front of him was truly the friend Sophia Leocadia spoke of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the world be so coincidental!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling Fairbanks felt like crying without tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast Five-River Province, he just had to meet him in a bar and have a conflict!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Reed… May I have a word with you in private?” Sterling Fairbanks asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many people watching in the bar, he still needed to save some face for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if it spread that the young master of the Hall Family from the capital was bending over backward for a local person, how would he continue to mix in society?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people from the capital found out, he definitely wouldn’t be able to continue in that circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capital, the most prosperous city on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people there are incredibly arrogant, valuing reputation above all else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once news spreads that Sterling Fairbanks had to apologize here, I’m afraid he will be completely ostracized; his prospects in the capital will also be shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’m just waiting to get dealt with by Mr. Fairbanks. I’m so scared my legs are weak, I can’t go anywhere!” Julius Reed helplessly shrugged his shoulders and stood his ground, arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Intentionally trying to embarrass me!” Sterling grumbled to himself, before quietly asking Otis Radcliffe, “You know him, then tell me, what’s his background? Only the important details!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only first try to understand the other person, then figure out how to apologize, to report back to Sophia Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He used to be my brother-in-law, marrying into the family! Spent three years home washing clothes and cooking. Who knew what stroke of dumb luck he had, lately, he suddenly got to know quite a few people and even managed to drive my family out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otis Radcliffe said with deep resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is!” Sterling had an epiphany. He approached Julius Reed, pulled out a card from his bosom, “There’s five billion in here. It’s a misunderstanding, let’s just be friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was a son-in-law who had married into a family, he must be without money or status!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, handing over five billion would be an astronomical figure to the young man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling even already imagined Julius Reed accepting the bank card with joy and thanking him profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dealing with the poor, smash them with money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While five billion was a lot, Sterling didn’t mind, as long as it could solve the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by this? Trying to buy me?” Julius Reed said with a faint smile, stretching out his hand to swat the bank card to the ground, “It seems you still don’t understand who you are. I’ll call Sophia in a bit and recount everything truthfully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his words, Julius Reed turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you so proud of! Mr. Fairbanks is giving you face; don’t be ungrateful!” Otis Radcliffe didn’t know why Sterling was doing this, but Julius Reed daring to knock Sterling’s bank card away meant he did not take Sterling seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing this chance, Otis Radcliffe stirred the pot, insisting on disciplining Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he felt he wouldn’t be able to relieve the suffocating rage inside him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling reacted with a backhand slap across Otis Radcliffe’s face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words from Otis Radcliffe had nearly ended Sterling! Otis Radcliffe couldn’t curry favor, and now with those words, he had completely offended Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Fairbanks, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out! Somebody, take him out and beat him to a pulp. Make sure his mouth swells up from slapping!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling shouted furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two burly men hoisted Otis Radcliffe up and dragged him outside the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Davenport!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sterling completely put aside his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something really went wrong with the Leocadia family’s business, he might as well not even have the chance to kneel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed was initially startled, then burst out laughing, “What’s this, Mr. Sebastian Hall? You really gave me quite the scare! I was just waiting for your men to come and break my legs, so when are you going to start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, everyone was caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did the once arrogantly pompous Sterling end up kneeling on the ground like a lowly grandson, apologizing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their brains weren’t quick enough to process, and they were all dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How would I dare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sterling pleaded with a wry smile, “Mr. Reed, could you put in a few good words for me to Miss Leocadia? Please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no other option; such is the power of family heritage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Sterling had been able to act so high and mighty here was thanks to the Hall family’s backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a single call from Sophia Leocadia would have him kneeling publicly, all because of the Leocadia family’s influence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand what you’re saying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed crouched down to look at Sterling, took out a coin from his pocket, and tossed it in front of him, “Get up, that’s all I have on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","afb2a1354bb5bec99ae3ba77b2d24da492dff5fa4b1e4eb621ee14e1e882eff6","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-356","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-354",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
