I still have quite a few acquaintances in the capital; don’t forget, your husband is from a wealthy family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed smiled back but said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Quella Radcliffe’s character all too well—strong and stubborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really offered to help, it would surely be a blow to her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to earn respect through her own efforts, not charity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car travelled on a deserted road, Julius Reed suddenly furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a car was closely following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seemed to be driven by a professional, maintaining a distance that would have gone unnoticed if not for Julius Reed’s sharp senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmo also noticed the vehicle tailing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, should I get out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out? What for?” Quella Radcliffe was oblivious to the pursuit and thus somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pitch-dark; there wasn’t even a streetlamp, making getting out quite dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five-state International Plaza was located in the New District, an area waiting to be developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the wasteland, there was just one lonely building around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, the road was overgrown with weeds, and streetlamps hadn’t even been installed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, this place was just a small village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only deserted after the demolition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take my wife home first. I just got a call; a friend is right behind us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed glanced at the car behind through the rearview mirror and turned to Quella Radcliffe, entrusting her, “Honey, it’s a friend from the capital I haven’t seen in a while. I might be back late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A friend from the capital? Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was somewhat skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since Julius Reed had changed so much, he indeed had made many new friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like Aron Jackson who held sway over territories and relatives high up in Titan Group like Sky Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn’t strange to say he had friends from the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not going to have an affair with Itai Huntington, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly asked with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s grip on the steering wheel jerked, nearly crashing the car into a tree by the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife. Am I that kind of person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too innocent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could his own wife think so poorly of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Who knows!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe snorted softly, then burst into laughter, “Just teasing you. Look at you, guilty as a thief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… fine, let it be! I’m innocent, with such a beautiful wife, why would I pine for a widow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed spoke righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure your friend is behind us? It’s dangerous at night; maybe you should wait in the car?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe clasped Julius Reed’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gesture made Julius Reed’s body shiver, and then his heart surged with elation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for caring, wife! Actually, he called me while we were at Five-state International Plaza, saying he would find me there. Who knew, just as we left, he arrived. He then sent me a voice message, telling me he was following right behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed patiently wove a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their speed also began to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How come I didn’t hear it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe remained doubtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them had been chatting ever since they got in the car and hadn’t received any phone calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bluetooth headset! Taking calls while driving is a fineable offense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed pointed at his left ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car’s interior was very dim, and being on the side closer to the outside, Quella Radcliffe couldn’t see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, honey! An old friend I haven’t seen for years, like this, you watch me get in the car, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed chuckled and slowly pulled over to the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he opened the door and walked to the side of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmo also got out from the back seat and moved to the driver’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t worried about her master’s capability at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few petty thieves could be taken down with just a flick of a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a beam of light appeared on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party clearly hadn’t expected Julius Reed and his companions to stop suddenly, and had to brake urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the black SUV stop, Julius Reed strode towards it, continuously calling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, have we been exposed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the driver’s seat, a bald man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares! We’re here to kill anyway; now that he’s stopped, it’s even better! There’s no one around, front or back. After the murder, we’ll stage a traffic accident, and no one will be able to trace it back to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the passenger seat, another bald man touched his head and a smile spread across his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense! Should we make a move now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the driver’s seat asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush! Let’s see what kind of game he’s playing first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man rolled down the window and watched Julius Reed slowly approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a dagger gleaming with a cold light appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Thorneycroft, why are you so late!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed walked up to the passenger side, laughing and swearing, “If you hadn’t come, I would’ve gone home to sleep with my wife!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man stuck his head out the window, unable to understand what Julius Reed was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t made a move, so the other party definitely couldn’t know he was there to kill him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known, would he still come over so comically to court death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed slapped the bald man’s head, laughing, “Mr. Thorneycroft, your head is just as hard as I remember after all these years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! How dare you hit my boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the driver’s seat pretended to reach for a weapon but was grabbed by the bald man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, you’ve got the wrong guy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all his years in the business, he’d never had someone dare to hit his bald head before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an insult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if digging soil from the head of Taishang Laojun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned around to look around and then turned back to see the bald man, slapping his head hard again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Thorneycroft, I can see you now! Just now, someone who looked exactly like you said I got the wrong person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head, laughing foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car, Cosmo and Quella Radcliffe watched the two men laughing and chatting, their actions so affectionate, and felt a lot more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mistress, he really is my master’s friend; are you relieved now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmo looked towards Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without reassuring her mistress, she couldn’t leave the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, but Julius Reed’s way of greeting is too rough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe frowned, watching Julius Reed slap the bald man’s head through the rearview mirror, shaking her head with a smile, “Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car slowly started and instantly disappeared on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmo was an excellent driver, and on such deserted roads, few could catch up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, are you fucking sick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the driver’s seat couldn’t contain his emotions any longer and followed his boss in speaking, “This guy is an idiot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not Mr. Thorneycroft! I’m saying it for the last time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man took a deep breath, quite angry now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, which is why I did it on purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, revealing a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f32c3a332281a30186978b107d22ff9bbec4e22f43e3219b70aea645e2d57a7","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-470","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-468",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
