“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, I’m so sorry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief lapse, Quella Radcliffe’s face turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the business alliance’s cooperation with Everyday Fresh was a matter of asking for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s okay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone suddenly stood up, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely disregarding that his crotch area was already soaked through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was still emitting steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the shock in his heart, that was too much less!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone really could jump off from the top of the Gemini Towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would definitely be news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hundreds of meters high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to the side, and his body jolted as if electrified again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see that dark shadow still suspended around the 30th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many rescue workers were desperately busy trying to save the figure hanging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were himself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hisss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat streamed down Slade Stone’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My wife would like to discuss a cooperation with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed, disregarding Quella Radcliffe’s anxious demeanor, strode up to Slade Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no need to talk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the young man’s grim face, Slade Stone quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contract, we’ll sign it now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the phone on the table, trembling: “Xiao Yue, come to my office immediately to sign the contract with Ms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, sign it directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone’s mouth trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart almost leapt out of his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, what’s this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe came over and asked, puzzled, “Weren’t we going to continue talking in the afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour before, he had been very indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he was frightened by Julius Reed barging in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, my husband is a bit impulsive…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone extended both hands, “No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no problem, I was wrong this morning, just now sitting here, I’ve already thought it through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, you’re not joking with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe asked with a doubtful expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surprise came too fast, and she couldn’t quite accept it just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Slade Stone, mean what I say!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My secretary will discuss the details with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone was pale, and trembled as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That person…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your husband?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t have been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The build, the clothes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that unmistakable aura of menace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe nodded, saying happily, “He’s here to pick me up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone nodded, wanting to drink some tea to calm his nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacup was on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir, where did you come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a traffic jam over there…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the opposite side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed pointed towards the Gemini Towers across the street, hands in his pockets, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone is a straightforward person, otherwise, how about dinner tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I dare not…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone hastily refused, “Xiao Yue will discuss the cooperation with you all shortly, you see how I am…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at his own pants, which were still steaming, his face turning purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whenever it’s convenient for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe gave an awkward smile, pulling Julius Reed and turning to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closed the door behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the two had left, Slade Stone collapsed into his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t mistaken the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had continued to refuse Quella Radcliffe earlier, would he have become the person hanging in the air?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the slightest misstep, there’d be nothing left of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying hard to calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone picked up the teacup from the floor, wiped it gently, and poured himself another cup of piping hot tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To drink tea, to settle his nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock on the door outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝᴑνǤ0.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone picked up his teacup, gently blowing on the scalding tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor was Xiaoyue, his secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoyue, what’s happening across the way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone pointed to the dark figure that had just been rescued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leocadia from the Gonzalez Group was suspended in mid-air, nearly scared to death, and is now receiving emergency treatment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xiaoyue finished speaking, Slade Stone’s hand trembled, and the teacup fell onto his lap once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyue picked up a towel from the desk and moved to wipe it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Delilah Leocadia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone stopped Xiaoyue with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his pants were steaming with heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah Leocadia, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leocadia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyue nodded anxiously, pointing to his pants: “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing, it’s already ruined…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone blinked and stood up with a ‘swoosh’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know who did it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not sure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police are currently investigating, but there are no clues.” Xiaoyue walked over and looked at the towering building opposite, shaking her head: “Too incredible, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucky I’m clever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slade Stone patted his chest, glad he hadn’t become the second Delilah Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find an opportunity to arrange for me to treat Quella Radcliffe and her husband to a meal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If such a formidable character could be made an acquaintance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone is so strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Twin Stars Building, Quella Radcliffe pouted, “I was so humble before, and he barely paid any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You burst in, and he suddenly became polite and agreeable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>people tend to bow to the stick and spurn the carrot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed hugged Quella Radcliffe: “I have to go to an auction tonight, do you want to come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella Warm’s dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then trace its origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbol of the moon and stars…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the symbol rendered by Santiago Carmichael, Julius Reed’s brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, who was trying to kill Isabella Warm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bamboo Whitaker is still at home, I promised to take her to a movie tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe turned around and looked at Julius Reed with a cheeky smile: “You come back early, and don’t cause trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded: “I’ll take you home first, and then go to the auction with Beckett Carmichael tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished this sentence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing of this dagger’s appearance was a little too coincidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight o’clock at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael, driving his black sedan, proceeded to the auction with Julius Reed and Eli Yarrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction was taking place at the Bamboo Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel was on the outskirts of the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though remote, it was bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bamboo Hotel was a hot springs resort, suitable for leisure and vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also occasionally hosted some events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight-thirty at night, with half an hour to go until the auction began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the Bamboo Hotel was already filled with parked cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many prominent figures arrived one after another to join in the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pleasure of the wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bottles, jars, even ancient chamber pots could fetch handsome prices here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed, tonight this place is a gathering of the elite, and there will be many familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the auction, everyone will be restrained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael reminded in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any insider tips?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed strode into the Bamboo Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The owner behind Armin Levis Auction Group is very mysterious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with my status, I can’t figure it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beckett Carmichael and Eli Yarrow followed closely behind: “It’s an unspoken agreement, nobody wants to cause discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that the big shot behind Armin Levis is extremely powerful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Extremely powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed snorted lightly, dismissively: “Today, I am determined to get that dagger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Beckett Carmichael to admonish, Julius Reed walked straight into the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marching swiftly as a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-06T17:05:06.517Z",1,"novelbin.me","1793b1ef1d85b7773971d86674df2c623f63fc96134359a5847b0f065dd6a7c0","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-837","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-835",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
