bustling with traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lights glimmered from homes far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the streets, neon lights flickered ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They always showcased the city’s prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow began to fall in the capital once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, this would likely be the last snowfall of spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, life would awaken, and the ice and snow would melt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sat in front of the television, watching the program listlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, those women huddled together like close sisters, eating and laughing with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson personally cooked, earning everyone’s praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sipped red wine and the air was filled with their cheerful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itai Huntington also recovered from her low spirits, her face adorned by a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius watched the bowl of rice, a packet of pickled vegetables, and a pair of chopsticks before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought the women would squabble jealously, allowing him to live a life waited on hand and foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But life turned out to be so ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pickled vegetables were even expired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rice…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Julius remembered correctly, it seemed to be leftovers from last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold on the lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his phone suddenly chimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius took it out and found a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally he would not have bothered with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What era was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from receiving verification codes, did text messages serve any other purpose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were just harassment and ads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today he was bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the message from an unknown number, it read,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re pretty bold, daring to kill my people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was brief, yet carried a questioning tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many who knew his number, and those who did were not ordinary figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be the Martial Association?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had just arranged for Venassa Pine and Templeton Lena to assassinate Jasper Leopold en route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Green Mount Street in half an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sender seemed concerned that Julius might not take the message seriously, so a third text was swiftly sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ṅονǤօ.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m from Armin Levis Corporation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armin Levis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius put away his phone, put on his coat, and walked directly out of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was heart-wrenching was that not a single one of the women in the house noticed his departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The stench of meat and wine flows from the rich man’s house, while outside lie the frozen bones of the poor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his packet of pickled vegetables, Julius felt very downcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, the life of a man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being approached by Armin Levis Corp could be a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, he and Venassa Pine had investigated thoroughly and discovered that the highest-ranking person in the whole building was the puppet General Manager whom he had killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the true management of the corporation, they’d barely made an appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was very strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the auction company with the strongest influence and greatest fame in the capital to not have a single decision-maker was odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Armin Levis was reaching out, he couldn’t ask for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the house, Julius didn’t call for Eli Yarrow, nor did he hail a cab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Mount Street wasn’t far from here, only a twenty-minute walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the other party already knew he was staying at Beckett Carmichael’s place, which is why they’d suggested meeting at Green Mount Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Julius’s memory, Green Mount Street was close to a wealthy neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were few pedestrians there, and even fewer at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, a good place for a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he stepped out, his phone rang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius picked it up to find the caller was Sophia Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was concerned Sophia might be in trouble, calling so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Old Master Leocadia’s condition had improved, the Leocadia family was still under threat from Inner Sect Disciples of Medicine King Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t rule out the possibility of a second attempt at poisoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially targeting Sophia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Davenport, Grandpa is recovering very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to invite you over to the Leocadia family, to have a meal with you,” said Sophia excitedly over the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she asked softly, “Can you make it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone carried a hint of pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proud princess of the Leocadia family was sounding so humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed had no choice but to accept, he found it hard to imagine what Sophia Leocadia’s mood would turn into if he refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Inner Sect Disciples of the Leocadia Family had not yet appeared, and it was a good opportunity for him to go and investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the medicine Karen had provided last time was genuinely effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed wanted to discuss obtaining some more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Julius Reed’s reply, Sophia Leocadia excitedly called out, “Then I’ll go inform Grandpa right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead, if nothing unexpected happens, I’ll come over tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed also showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, get back to your business, in case sister-in-law hears us…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sophia Leocadia said this, she let out a chuckle, “You’d have to kneel and wash the board again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Julius Reed looked up at the street in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street sign above featured three bold characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Mount Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond the mountains, there are mountains, and beyond the buildings, there are buildings.” Julius Reed surveyed his surroundings, no one was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the phone call, his pace was swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, he covered a distance that would take an ordinary person more than twenty minutes to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streetlamps of Green Mount Street were bright, the road wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But other than Julius Reed himself, there wasn’t a second shadow in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was eerily silent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was only seven in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes drifted down, making the early spring seem especially cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed let out a light breath, and a trail of vapor appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature had already dropped below zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left the house, he had only worn a brown trench coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed somewhat chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the streetlamp, the snowflakes were multicolored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps could be heard behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footsteps grew nearer until they stopped less than ten meters away from Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of danger began to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t turn around, or I’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the man behind him spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the shadows cast by the streetlamp, Julius Reed had a rough estimation of the man’s build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the sound of someone pulling the trigger mechanism on a dart box reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the person was holding a dart box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like being pointed at with a dart box.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned around, smiling wryly, “Even if you don’t open the dart box, I must kill you anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him stood a middle-aged man wearing a black felt hat and a black leather jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, he held a dart box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The general manager of the Armin Levis Group, was it you who killed him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man asked emotionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct, because he didn’t give me the answer I wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t satisfy me today, I’ll kill you just the same!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stretched out a hand, pointing at the man, “Just you alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One person is more than enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man snorted lightly, “How arrogant you are!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing the general manager of the Armin Levis Group, now you dare threaten me too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the mouth of the dart box in his hand remained aimed at Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was that dagger at the auction from the Huntington Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed, with hands clasped behind his back, asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was really as Itai Huntington had said, the Huntington Family was much more complicated than it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man tilted the dart box upward, “Dead men need not know too much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He triggered the mechanism!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dart shattered the streetlamps, and after hitting metal, it rebounded rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of explosive sounds followed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man managed to shatter over a dozen streetlamps with just one dart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Mount Street was plunged into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A specially made dart?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed raised an eyebrow; this man in front of him seemed quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary darts simply couldn’t change direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These darts, which took out over a dozen streetlamps from a single box, were clearly specially treated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As I said, the dead need not know too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took out a dart from his pocket and slowly inserted it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the second time, he pulled the trigger on the dart box.\u003C\u002Fp>",1490,"2026-06-06T17:05:07.199Z",1,"novelbin.me","f14882e5a854caeb6ebe4c392eb6c5ff702c8e81b32a7c0cb2d4ab1f29db276e","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-887","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-885",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
