Finish him… finish him for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking all over, Tristan Caldwell sat in the chair, his eyes quickly filling with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his fingertips, the broken bone was clearly visible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeking death! What are you waiting for, drag him out, and don’t cause trouble in the Northern restaurant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stacy Cook then took command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Julius Reed to dare offend Tristan Caldwell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to break his finger upon their first encounter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a madman, a madman without reason!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sighed, abruptly stood up, grabbed the wine bottle, and smashed it hard onto the head of a bodyguard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle of Elixir of Life shattered instantly, and the bodyguard fell to the ground, his head covered in blood and glass shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the remaining bodyguards could react, Julius Reed, like lightning, reached them and pressed their heads together with both hands, then banged them hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men passed out on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if by some chance they woke up, they would certainly be vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what are you going to do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell, overcome with fear, even forgot the pain in his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas Stacy Cook was reminded of the scene that day at Twilight Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed to be repeating itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you standing there for!

I am the general manager of Abernathy Group, and if CEO Carmichael finds out…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell was shaking all over with fear, but he tried to remain calm and brought up Beckett Carmichael to intimidate Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the reputation of the four great families was significant, and almost everyone knew about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere youth from Gonzalez City, didn’t he have any regard for this at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael, someone is calling you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed smiled and looked behind Tristan Caldwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh! You even dare to disrespect CEO Carmichael? Kid, let me tell you the truth, my boss Beckett Carmichael, that is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tristan Caldwell? What are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just returning from the restroom, Beckett Carmichael saw that his seat was taken and thought it was Julius Reed’s guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until he got closer and heard the voice that he realized it was his own subordinate, the general manager of Abernathy Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat curious in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Tristan Caldwell know Julius Reed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This didn’t make sense at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the voice, Tristan Caldwell also trembled and was extremely excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael was actually here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Beckett Carmichael was present, they would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Beckett Carmichael had an Eli Yarrow under him, unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this young man opposite was formidable, could he be stronger than Eli Yarrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael looked around, and seeing the three bodyguards lying down, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nando Brandon had just offended someone, and now his own manager hadn’t gone and offended someone as well, had he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael, this kid broke one of my fingers and knocked out three bodyguards! And he even disrespected you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell, now seeing his big backer, felt much more at ease, and the pain in his hand grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Julius Reed and sneered, “Kid, you’re dead today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Reed, what’s going on here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael looked towards Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Reed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell looked around: “Where is Mr. Reed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought his boss had run into an acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Stacy Cook’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Mr. Reed, is it Julius Reed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was just these two gentlemen who wanted to mess with me, tricking me into drinking the ‘Water of Life’ and even boasting that if I finished it, they would drink two bottles each. After I finished, these two went back on their word and didn’t want to play anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed shrugged slightly, quite helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit! What kind of person am I! You think you’re worthy of making a bet with me? That was just a joke! You idiot, you took it seriously!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell looked at his broken finger and cursed through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he failed to notice was that Beckett Carmichael’s face had already turned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Beckett Carmichael’s guess was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reckless subordinate had offended an important figure again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael, you have to decide on this matter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the young man opposite looking fierce and menacing, Tristan Caldwell had no choice but to seek help from Beckett Carmichael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goddamn it! I must be blind as a dog! Someone come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael roared, and immediately several bodyguards came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh! Hear that? You’re as blind as a dog for daring to offend CEO Carmichael and me too! Kid, you don’t get killed unless you act recklessly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tristan Caldwell finished speaking, he found his shoulder was being held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael, what is this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand what was going on, but Stacy Cook did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael knew Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Reed, how would you like to handle this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael asked, bowing his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CEO Carmichael… you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tristan Caldwell’s eyes widened, unable to believe this was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Caldwell is also a person of status, help him preserve some dignity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed pushed the ‘Water of Life’ in front of him towards Tristan Caldwell, looking at Stacy Cook who had already collapsed on the sofa in fear: “Two bottles each, as per our earlier agreement. After all, a personage such as General Caldwell and his friend should keep their word.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-06T17:05:02.058Z",1,"novelbin.me","9aeb4b490db7a67ccc608135f44ff77aff4428fc6f7cec1a2ca49be7405c86ea","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-509","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-507",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
