Keep a close eye on Fabian Percival for me, report directly any news you get,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took a small pill from his pocket and handed it to Fox Miller: “You suffered an inner injury in your early years; it makes you cough incessantly on rainy and overcast days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fox Miller took the pill, shocked in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a teenager, he was inadvertently hit by a large rock while practicing martial arts with his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he survived, his insides itched intolerably every time it rained or the sky was overcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, he had visited numerous famous doctors, but none could completely cure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now his condition was identified in a single sentence, filling Fox Miller with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used to study medicine,” Julius Reed naturally wouldn’t reveal his real identity. “Take this pill, and you’ll recover in three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fox Miller swallowed the pill on the spot and said with emotion, “The wisest decision of my life was not trying to kill you back then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, he suddenly asked, “If I had insisted on killing you back then, would you have killed me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question had been haunting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed said, and Fox Miller noticeably stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Killing you would dirty my hands.

They’re plotting to kill Elwood Thorneycroft mid-way to avoid offending Ivan Reed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he disappeared from the wharf once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky had gradually darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winters already have short days, and with the New Year approaching, it had become difficult to see the surface of the sea after three in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sat alone on the wharf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet dangled above the sea, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind him, several shadows quietly approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve come all this way, no need for sneaking around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed picked up a pebble and started skipping it over the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You knew we were here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in black felt a touch of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had followed all the way and then lay in wait concealed among the surrounding grass for several hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they still been discovered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stood up and stretched, “Hurry up and get it over with.

Isn’t that enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed slowly rotated his hand, “If you don’t catch this, I’ll send you down to reunite with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he threw the USB drive onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the USB drive fell through the air, the man quickly caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope you haven’t lied to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He backed off a few steps, and once assured Julius Reed had no intention of killing him, he quickly vanished from West Harbor Wharf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jennifer Lopez, today I’ll teach you what playing with fire can do to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Shadow Warrior’s retreating figure, Julius Reed hummed a tune and returned to his car, quietly waiting for news from Fox Miller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, there would be quite a show.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-06T17:05:04.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","7beb8c00cce6c44ff4636f48fe88f1da16c53fdcd1d31c7fe3eb359d9fccf7ea","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-658","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-656",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
