Ding! Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the knocking sound, Zane Percival pushed open the door to the private room where Julius Reed and his group were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia, who was singing, was somewhat displeased to see someone enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Zane Percival. Today is my birthday, and I’m covering the costs for everyone here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival walked in with a bottle of wine in hand and carefully looked around, discovering there were only five people in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three women and two men, it looked like two families gathered together for a celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that it wouldn’t cost her anything, Knox Ridge was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought it was going to be quite an expense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spending at Copper Quey in Gonzalez City was quite high, and playing for a few hours could cost at least a thousand or eighteen hundred bucks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they had some beer and fruit, it would be even more expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Happy birthday to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly stood up, holding a drink to toast Zane Percival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival nodded and poured himself a drink too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Julius Reed returned to the room and asked upon seeing Zane Percival, “Who is this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Zane Percival. Today is my birthday, and I’m covering for everyone’s expenses at Copper Quey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival sized him up, certain that this was the man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the wine party, he had stood out from the crowd, even Itai Huntington had looked at him with high regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this man had seriously offended Bran Cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Younger Percival! What a pleasure to meet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed quickly grabbed a drink, toasted with Zane Percival, and introduced, “These are my uncles and aunts, this is my sister, but this guy is my best buddy! Lewis Leocadia, Brother Lewis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon his words, everyone was stunned, but Knox Ridge was actually quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least her son-in-law knew not to reveal their true status in front of others, to avoid mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what kind of person was Zane Percival? He had naturally seen Quella Radcliffe before and knew she was Amos Davenport’s girlfriend right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he hadn’t acknowledged it might be that the uncles and aunts present didn’t approve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Lewis Leocadia intrigued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother Lewis Leocadia might be wealthy, returned from abroad with a business and worth over a hundred million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed pointed at Lewis Leocadia and bragged extensively, “We’ve known each other since childhood, just like real brothers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia had wanted to object, but upon hearing Julius Reed’s introduction of him, he felt elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he expose the lie when he could meet such a wealthy young man who was generously picking up the tab for the place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in his eyes, Julius Reed’s flattery was just a way to curry favor and latch onto his success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the saying goes, it’s not polite to hit someone who’s extending a handshake, especially not someone who’s praising you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Leocadia, what a pleasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival quickly went over, grabbed Lewis Leocadia’s hand, but a subtle smile flickered across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger Percival! A pleasure indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia, bolstered by his fabricated identity and the chance to know such a big spender, was extremely proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Julius Reed as if to say well done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zane Percival had scoped out the situation, he was ready to come back with people for revenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take your time leaving! Happy birthday, Younger Percival!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia saw him to the door, throwing in a few cordial words for good measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Young Master Leocadia!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival replied perfunctorily before turning to head back to his private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a glint of ruthlessness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no! I left my phone in the bathroom, I need to go back for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed slapped his forehead and hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on! You couldn’t even afford a new one if you lost that junk phone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia mocked, continuing to sit and sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called over a server and ordered a few more bottles of alcohol and some fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone else was paying, after all, so why not indulge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloom from being beaten up earlier was completely forgotten; he was now immersed in his joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days in Gonzalez City, he had been scheming to get friendly with young Percival, so that come the New Year, he’d have some bragging rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, penniless back in his hometown, how would he get through the New Year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, the door was kicked open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who the hell! Are you sick in the head!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed loudly, but as soon as he recognized the person coming in, he quickly stood up with a smile, “Younger Percival, it’s you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor was none other than Zane Percival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him followed a dozen or so young men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger Percival, did you want something from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking he had grown familiar with Zane Percival, Lewis Leocadia walked over to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Younger Percival’ my ass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man behind Zane Percival suddenly lashed out with a kick, sending Lewis Leocadia flying onto the ground: “You dare to call him ‘Younger Percival’? Who the hell do you think you are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man cursed while slapping Lewis Leocadia across the face twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing! I’m friends with Younger Percival, have you lost your minds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia yelled from the ground, covering his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having had drinks with Zane Percival, he naturally considered himself a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he’s now the worth-over-a-billion boss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bumpkins had the gall to hit him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival snorted coldly: “Who’s your friend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t we just have a drink, Younger Percival?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia hadn’t quite grasped what was happening—weren’t they just sharing drinks and merry words? How had everything changed so suddenly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he didn’t know was that Zane Percival’s visit was meant to test the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friends, are we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you’re worthy to drink with Younger Percival?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several youths stepped forward, grabbed the beer from the table, and poured it all over Lewis Leocadia: “I’m letting you drink, have your fill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had heard from Zane Percival that this was Amos Davenport’s best friend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Amos Davenport wasn’t around, they would take their anger out on this guy first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Amos Davenport?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival looked around and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago he was in the private room, how did he disappear so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amos Davenport? Who’s Amos Davenport, I don’t know! You got the wrong person, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia murmured, his face soaked with beer and his clothes thoroughly drenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what mattered most was that he still didn’t understand why he was being beaten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t know! Fine! Hit him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival coldly smirked, what a good friend indeed—seeing that he was there to trouble Amos Davenport, he promptly claimed not to recognize him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Lewis Leocadia genuinely didn’t know; he only knew Julius Reed and had no idea who Amos Davenport was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1369,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","d007adcf516ef3a5231e2d1ae05acc1b400ab0e28cbaa783a55ad6e6d6924d4f","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-418","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-416",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
