is located in a remote area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s nestled in a large mountain in the western part of China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get to Medicine King Valley from Moon City, one must first take a car to Five-river Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then transfer to a plane, and after arriving in the west, continue by car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the journey is full of twists and turns, it can’t dampen the enthusiasm of the wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some bosses who are too lazy to even go to the gym and CEOs who are picky about their beds\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now display a spirit of enduring hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleeping in tents, navigating rocky paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing insect bites and even unpredictable weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They head to Medicine King Valley without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems no raging fires or steep mountains could cool their zeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a little past five in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed is driving Karen and a nearly recovered Terry Moore in a sedan toward the Five-river Province International Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trip is far, almost requiring more than three hours of driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the grand event in Medicine King Valley is held in the evening, they have plenty of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they arrive at Medicine King Valley before ten at night,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everything will be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no direct highway from Moon City to Five-river Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to road construction, they have to take a muddy country lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first rain of the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has moistened the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the road is muddy, the car is very stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Davenport, there seems to be a problem ahead,” says Karen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drives with one hand and points ahead with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of cars is stopped on the muddy dirt road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further ahead, there seem to be people standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There even appears to be a roadblock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The trip to Medicine King Valley is critical, let’s not waste time on other matters,” Julius Reed says with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Karen agrees readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drives up to the traffic jam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them is an SUV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the labels on the car, it seems to be from a car rental platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the Lunar New Year, many people rent cars to go home for the celebrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon City, as its name implies, along with Gonzalez City, are both coastal cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who can’t buy plane tickets return by ferry to Gonzalez City or Moon City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and then rent cars to go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Karen had thought about renting a car too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Julius Reed led her directly to a 4S dealership in Moon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At four in the morning on the first day of the New Year,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the owner of the 4S shop, shivering in the cold wind, bid them farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Karen sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s good to be rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the issue of the temporary license plate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Julius Reed is the car owner, Karen doesn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>neither of them has a driver’s license.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pay up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toll fee!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a national road, government property, show me your documents!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you sure have a lot to say!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re not going to pay, then get lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for us brothers maintaining this road every day, how would you be able to travel on it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A hundred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this a robbery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then get lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m here on New Year’s Day, not even home to celebrate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beat it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A hundred, here you go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Travel safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t expect me to see you out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of an Audi at the very front is arguing with a thug-looking guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he gives in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crisp new hundred-yuan bill in hand, the thug flicks it casually and tucks it into his pocket,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his face beaming with the joy of a bumper crop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next car!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on up!” he says, as he approaches the rental car and taps on the window: “Miss, a hundred yuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seems the car window doesn’t come down at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beauty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred bucks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk was impatiently knocking on the car window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white SUV accelerated, attempting to break through the roadblock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝᴑνǤ0.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk with green hair was splashed with mud, shouting furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the driving was too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white SUV suddenly hit a rock next to the roadblock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to skip out on the bill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk waved his hand, and a dozen people approached from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two sedans also blocked the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several men wielding steel pipes jumped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the door!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or I’ll smash your car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk looked at his new clothes splattered with mud, growing angrier by the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked the car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving a muddy mark on the door of the white SUV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell do you want!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door was pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl in white jeans and a yellow sweater stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing sunglasses on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little bastard, trying to run without paying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk clutched his clothes, saying viciously, “My new clothes, you fucking got them dirty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking for trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Broad daylight, and you’re setting up a roadblock to rob people, is there no law?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another woman got out of the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in black denim, she pointed at the punk, “Do you believe I’ll call the cops?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo-heave-ho!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You dare to threaten me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk laughed at her indignation, “Girl, you know where you are?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is our road that we maintain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to let you know, I’m not afraid of anyone coming here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a national road!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the yellow sweater angrily retorted, “What you’re doing is no different from robbery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bandits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of bandits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was drizzling and kind of cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the yellow sweater, obviously feeling the chill, was only wearing the sweater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for me and my brothers maintaining this road, it would be done for!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk spat on the ground, “Ptui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think you want to leave today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of punks crowded in behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They surrounded the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young girls had never seen anything like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately caved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harvey Martin, just give them the money…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in black denim said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these punks, looking fierce, might do something rash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m letting you off this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, I will definitely call the cops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman reluctantly took out a hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to the punk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk snatched the money, eyeing the woman’s wallet, “Another nine hundred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person before us, wasn’t it a hundred?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why increase the price for us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvey Martin angrily confronted the punk, “You shameless bunch, don’t push your luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut the fuck up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk with the green hair’s face darkened, pointing to his mud-splattered clothes, “These are my new clothes, splashed by you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he walked over to the roadblock and kicked the SUV hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, even my plastic roadblock is damaged by you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand bucks, too much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Harvey Martin, just deal with it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in black denim evidently didn’t want to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only have three hundred left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvey Martin opened her wallet to show the punk, “Just three hundred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that works, fine; if not, forget it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, most people use WeChat to pay when they go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s rare for anyone to carry cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No money, you can keep me company for a while, that works too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punk smirked lecherously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people behind him egged him on too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t really want to cause trouble; they were just annoyed and wanted to disgust the two girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m saying, can we go now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m in a hurry to get the hell out of here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Karen rolled down the car window and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-06T17:05:05.707Z",1,"novelbin.me","9248c0058abe423a766195cf2c4ac0f965462732c60fda89819fac6635aa0c13","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-755","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-753",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
