Stop it, all of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bryson Ridge was also feeling the pain of losing money. When she looked up and saw that Lewis Leocadia was being held down and beaten, she immediately became furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed over and slapped Zane Percival across the face, “You dare hit my son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival was smugly watching his handiwork, thinking that Bran Cook would definitely praise him once he found out. He didn’t notice Bryson Ridge approaching at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he realized a middle-aged woman was coming towards him, Bryson Ridge’s slap had already landed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crisp sound immediately quieted down the inside of the KTV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the tacky pop song that was playing, there were no other sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young men who were beating Lewis stopped their actions and slowly surrounded Bryson Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! You dare hit me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival touched his cheek, feeling a burning pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Percival Family was also a powerful household in Gonzalez City. Zane Percival’s father’s logistics business had made a fortune by monopolizing the transport industry in Gonzalez City in recent years, thanks to a secret deal with Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining forces with the Cook Family was for the purpose of expanding their transport business even further, to completely dominate the industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most importantly, Aron Jackson demanded too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Percival Family was looking for a new backer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival, who had grown up surrounded by wealth, had skin as delicate as a girl’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lived for over twenty years and had never been hit before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bryson Ridge’s slap had left a handprint on Zane Percival’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger Percival, how do you want to deal with this crazy bitch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of angry young men crowded around, as if they couldn’t wait to devour Bryson Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I warn you! I am a woman, and if any of you dares to touch me, I’ll call the police!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bryson Ridge, terrified, promptly backed away but was then kicked to the ground by someone behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a pained cry, sitting on the ground, at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! This is the first time in my life someone has dared to hit me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival took out a small mirror and, in the dim light of the KTV, saw the bright red handprint on his face, which immediately made him furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched down and delivered a slap that made his hand go numb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bryson Ridge uttered a scream, clutching her face as tears streamed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she, a woman, endure a full-force slap from a grown man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys, keep hitting him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival gave Bryson Ridge a vicious kick, stood up, and directed the others to continue beating Lewis Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Quella Radcliffe stepped forward to shield Bryson Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was her own aunt, and she couldn’t stand by and watch her relative get beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stinking woman, get out of the way!” One of the men walked over and was about to push Quella when Zane Percival quickly held him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the woman Bran Cook liked. If he were to hit her and Bran Cook became unhappy, all of today’s efforts would be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Percival!” The man had just turned around when Zane Percival shoved him out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare lay a hand on the woman Bran Cook likes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival, cursing and swearing, kicked the man before smiling and approaching Quella, “Miss Radcliffe, this matter does not concern you. Could you please step aside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced over at the sofa, where Quella’s parents were sitting, and said, “These are Miss Radcliffe’s parents; take care not to hurt them by mistake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young men assented and continued the beating of Lewis Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really don’t know Amos Davenport… Please stop… you must have the wrong person…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lewis Leocadia curled up on the floor, clutching his head and screaming in agony as he was beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! Tough bones, huh? Keep hitting him! I want to see whether your bones are harder, or my fists are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival also pushed forward and kicked Lewis Leocadia several times in the buttocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, several men in suits pushed the door open and shouted sternly, “Stop it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who the hell are you! You dare to meddle in Young Percival’s business?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man swaggered over, reaching out to push the person who had just spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Zane Percival had some status in Gonzalez City, and his family even had dealings with Aron Jackson. These small fries weren’t even worth considering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young man had barely stretched out his hand when one of the men in suits fiercely grabbed his wrist and twisted it downwards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped the arm cleanly in two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… my hand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man let out a wail of agony, kneeling on the ground and howling in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, someone dares to touch one of our own, get them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger men, snapping back to reality, stopped and turned to crowd around the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask who you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival hurried to halt the young men about to throw punches and looked at the man in the suit before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Bronze Sparrow Platform, Aron Jackson’s territory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be good to cause trouble rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aric Smith!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the suit replied with a cold voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this name scared Zane Percival terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly extended his hand in a friendly gesture, “So it’s Mr. Smith. My men are ignorant and have offended you. Please don’t take it personally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aric Smith was the manager of the Bronze Sparrow Platform, and he was one of the few close to Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving Aric Smith control of the Bronze Sparrow Platform indicated the trust Aron Jackson had in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offending such a person was something the Percival Family could ill afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Percival, he’s just a lousy security guard, is he worth being so polite to? What right does he have to stand here anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man from a not-so-bad family background was very dissatisfied, as his good friend had just had his arm broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival backhanded the young man and then kicked him hard: “Mr. Smith is the manager of the Bronze Sparrow Platform. Does he have the right to speak here or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the identity of the man before them, the young men all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zane Percival, you’ve become so arrogant now? Your followers are running wild! Does a manager like me have no right to enter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aric Smith looked coldly at Zane Percival, causing the latter to break out in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Smith, don’t joke with me. Is there anything you need me for? I will definitely see it done for you!” Zane Percival wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully watching Aric Smith’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be because it was his own birthday that Aric Smith had come personally to celebrate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that was the case, why come to this private room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was supposed to go to his own room, wasn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Smith, is it because of my birthday? You’re too generous to personally toast me over this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about his family’s cooperative relationship with Aron Jackson, he felt it might just be the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toasting you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aric Smith raised an eyebrow and walked up to Zane Percival, hands clasped behind his back: “Young Percival, if I toast you, would you dare to drink?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Arlo Percival, Zane’s father, wouldn’t dare let himself be toasted, let alone his son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then Mr. Smith, why have you come here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zane Percival was completely baffled. If it wasn’t for his own birthday, then what was the purpose of this visit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve come here to wait for an important guest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aric Smith said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d4e4891e9527736381841a3f8294b96f24a40c6c760f896ebf8acd61db2dde9","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-419","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-417",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
