in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked woodenly, his throat moving slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to speak, but couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt that even breathing was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mighty Family Head of the Leocadia Family, in his own mansion in the capital!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being threatened by Horton Moore, whom the Leocadia Family looked down upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, Horton Moore did not even bother to threaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply had his men show off their skills and effortlessly take down the guards that Delilah Leocadia was proud of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll need to stay here for a few days during my trip to the capital,” said Horton Moore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore, with his hands clasped behind his back, surveyed the spacious living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked a corpse on the ground with his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the living room alone is over three hundred square meters, about the size of the bathroom in my mansion in Abernathy Province.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the window to admire the view outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This villa was the only one on the mountaintop and was deliberately reserved for himself by Delilah Leocadia when he developed the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, clouds and mist twined around it, like the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the top observation deck of the villa, one could overlook the entire mountain’s scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luxurious, opulent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was fresh, the environment pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father-in-law, you go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and remember to take the body with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a coward, I can’t stand the sight of dead people,” Horton Moore said, patting Delilah Leocadia on the shoulder as he walked past, not even looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you’re dead, this place could be turned into a cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, when the Leocadia descendants have squandered the family fortune, they can come to dig up your grave,” Horton Moore remarked without turning his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah Leocadia took a deep breath as a sharp pain pierced his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to explode in anger, but then he saw the three men in front of him, and the corpses on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the ringtone of his phone went off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fall Smith, what’s the matter?” he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call was from Fall Smith, a steward of the Leocadia family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Jasmine…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>has been murdered…” Fall Smith’s trembling voice came through the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah Leocadia’s hand shook, and the phone slid to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master was killed on the way to find you, less than thirty kilometers from the villa…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master?” Fall Smith kept shouting into the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Delilah Leocadia couldn’t hear a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything before his eyes went dark, and he felt utterly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His most beloved grandson, the Leocadia family’s future hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who did this…” he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute later, Delilah Leocadia crouched down, his face twisted with rage, and shouted, “Who did this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The investigation concluded it was an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sedan crashed into the mountainside, causing an explosion…” Fall Smith’s voice got softer and softer, eventually almost inaudible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explosion…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explosion!” Delilah Leocadia suddenly picked up the phone and roared into the receiver, “Where is my grandson’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah Leocadia was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burnt to ashes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He furiously smashed the phone to the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes bloodshot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No remains to bury…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah Leocadia clutched at his chest and collapsed to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, your father-in-law seems to have died,” said Casimir as he pulled out a chicken leg and relished sucking on the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was full of enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Casimir’s words, Horton Moore quickly stepped out of the bedroom and came over to look at Delilah Leocadia, squatting to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s not dead yet, just barely breathing,” Horton Moore noted, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My father-in-law was fine, so why did he suddenly collapse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just checking the villa; could it be the old man can’t handle stress very well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That doesn’t seem like the Delilah Leocadia who is a notorious fox throughout the capital!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems like he got a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝοѵǤօ.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandson died.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casimir tossed the tasteless chicken bone on the ground and wiped his hands all over himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clean and environmentally friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chicken legs were his favorite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t have chicken legs during a meal, Casimir would feel uncomfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandson?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine Leocadia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore took out his phone and called Elvin Leocadia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, I need to ask you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s my father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fall Smith came to me in a panic just now, saying the old man seemed to be in some kind of trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin Leocadia’s anxious voice came through the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Jasmine Leocadia dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore did not answer her question but asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten minutes ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was found dead on the road to the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How’s my dad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin’s tone carried a hint of grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore put his hand to his back and slowly pulled out a dark weapon box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your father died of excessive grief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he aimed the mouth of the dark weapon box at Delilah Leocadia’s chest and switched off the safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark weapon box fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splashing his face with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, I’ll send the body over to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore stood up, took a handkerchief from his suit’s breast pocket, and wiped the blood off his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what was that sound!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvin’s breathing became more and more rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she almost cried, “Horton Moore, what have you done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So noisy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore, annoyed, threw the phone to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark weapon box shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards stationed at the door immediately ran in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men were the elite brought by him from Abernathy Province, there were ten of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Carry the body to the car and make a trip to the Leocadia’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of Horton Moore’s hand, the bodyguards immediately lifted Delilah Leocadia’s still-warm body and headed towards the outside of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two, rest here for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casimir and I are going to the Leocadia’s and will be back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore said guiltily, “After all, he was my father-in-law, and now that he has passed away, I, as his son-in-law, must perform my filial duties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marvin Cook nodded, sitting with Lennon Cook on the sofa, playing with snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Casimir, let me treat you to the Leocadia’s chicken legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their home might not be much, but they have first-rate cooks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in time for the old man’s funeral, I’ll let you eat your fill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horton Moore kicked away the bone that Casimir had thrown on the ground, straightened his bloodstained suit, and strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten o’clock in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A father and daughter were picking up trash on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no tools, only their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them, a teenager held sunflower seeds, snacking and tossing them to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he threw one, the middle-aged man behind squatted down to pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he placed it in his daughter’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since yesterday, Fletcher Martin’s hands had blistered from the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no choice; if he did not collect, Harvey Martin would suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a saying of old, disaster falls from the sky unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fletcher never dreamed that within a single day, his entertainment city would be smashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced to pick up trash on the street, father and daughter were ridiculed by a crowd of wealthy young men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With any slight dissatisfaction from these men, they would be met with a flurry of punches and kicks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, I’m so sorry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvey Martin’s makeup was already in tears, her face striped like a tabby cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t do anything wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fletcher Martin looked at his daughter and showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to touch Harvey’s face…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both hands were raw with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still in the mood for this father-daughter affection?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teenager in front eating sunflower seeds turned around, slowly flipping his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pile of sunflower seeds scattered across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he stomped down on them hard with his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crushing most of the seeds to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pick them up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single husk left behind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teenager put his hands in his pockets, a look of smug satisfaction on his face, “I suggest you use your tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I’m short on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t finish in five minutes, your daughter will inevitably suffer some fleshly pain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter echoed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of young men surrounded them, egging them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fletcher Martin closed his eyes, took a deep breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and slowly bent over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Harvey weren’t there, he would rather die with the teenager in front of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a hand gripped his shoulder and pulled Fletcher Martin to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-06T17:05:07.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","55d8cd614fae3866bb2de27eadc8ff1fde358ebce323f4259dd12ef7aa51b2e4","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-938","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-936",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
