decades, aside from the rebellion four years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle directly led to the death of Ian Jorden, and the near extinction of the various North Sea allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it also laid the groundwork for enormous hidden dangers from the unrest four years earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the oath-taking assembly on Demarco Mount, Julius Reed declared his intention to wipe out the Neolle Leocadia royal family, leaving not a single survivor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within ten years, any surviving member of the North Sea royal family was to be executed on sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would have never imagined that an orphan of the North Sea was hidden right under his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris, her real name Baylor Davenport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her true identity was that of a princess from the royal Baylor family, the greatest ally of the North Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baylor family dominated the entire North Sea region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebellion back then was instigated by Baylor Davenport’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it was such an orphan of the enemy that managed to emerge right under the watchful eyes of Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they coexisted peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baylor Davenport…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes from the past surfaced, with fragmented memories gradually coalescing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Anna Harris’s friendship with Quella Radcliffe was no coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greater the coincidence, the more terrifying it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stood in his office for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems some people may have been scheming against me for many years,” he said, smiling and shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his right hand and gazed at the gleaming Dragon King Ring on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονǥᴑ.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sovereign has enjoyed a long life and has numerous enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many have coveted your position, and how many have sought to replace you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson knelt on the ground, maintaining a posture with her hands on her chest, “You should be clear that to them, orchestrating a rebellion that spans generations is worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, an unprecedented organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spanning thousands of years, it possessed incalculable wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of Sovereign was the summit of power that many sought to climb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it took hundreds or thousands of years to plan such a rebellion, as long as it succeeded, everything would be worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baylor Davenport…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat back on the couch, feeling a bit tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, it’s the one flaw in a hundred precautions,” he said with a bitter smile, and waved to Lillian Tompson, “Stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even you betray me and I fail to realize it, then it indeed might be time for someone else to take the Sovereign’s place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth needed to be uncovered by him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the four maids close to him had turned traitors was not difficult for Julius Reed to ascertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereign’s lifespan was eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was intellect, methods of handling affairs, or even understanding of human nature, he far surpassed those around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe anyone could use him as a pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he believe someone would dare to scheme everything against him from behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want all those who scheme against me to pay a price beyond their imagination,” he said, leaning back on the couch with a chilling tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sovereign, is Isabella Warm truly wicked?” Lillian Tompson raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion, “Since you can remember me, you surely remember her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on my investigation of you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please forgive your subordinate the sin of a thousand deaths…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To investigate the Sovereign was to tread a path to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was merely a maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before you leave this room, I will pardon all your words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once you step out of this door, if you dare to go against my will, I will have you killed,” Julius Reed said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This subordinate thanks the Sovereign!” Lillian Tompson placed her hands on her chest and kowtowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on my investigation of you, it seems you have also been tracking Isabella Warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, is she good or bad?” she purged the biggest question in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first descended the mountain, Lillian Tompson, too, sought to uncover the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the world, things aren’t always simply black or white, good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is a matter of perspective,” Julius Reed crossed his legs and supported his chin on his hands, “If I were to be killed, then I would be the villain, utterly wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battle of the North Sea, I nearly left it barren!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I am the king; I am the king of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to face Lillian Tompson, “In my eyes, all the North Sea alliances are wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the eyes of Baylor Davenport, I am the wicked one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This subordinate understands…” Lillian Tompson frowned slightly, her response respectful, “Grace River has entered the sea; should we raid Ivan Reed’s home to get their clues?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her intelligence, Grace River had suddenly disappeared some days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people took to a boat and disappeared into the vast sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was highly probable they were tracking down Isabella Warm’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush, no rush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed shook his head, stood up, and straightened his clothes, “Since someone has always wanted me to look for Isabella Warm, I might as well play along with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does the Holy Master mean to say…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson was a bit puzzled, “What if…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No more ‘what ifs’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed interrupted her, “How much money do you have left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, assets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I own the entire Armin Levis Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only do I have the wealth I brought out of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, but also many large consortiums have actively invested in my assets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson’s face flashed with pride, “All this is prepared for you, Holy Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take your money and invest in the Willson Group under my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m planning to return to Gonzalez City to take care of some matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lillian Tompson followed closely behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop right there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two just left the office, they saw a group of dart box handlers standing at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were wearing earpieces, and their posture with the dart boxes was highly professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson reverted to her queenly assertiveness, quickly walking in front of those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before those people could finish speaking, Lillian Tompson slapped one across the face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From today onwards, he is the boss here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you all understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dart box handlers stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then quickly snapped to attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Put away the dart boxes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader hurriedly put away the weapons and quickly walked up to Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Salute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dart box handlers all saluted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded in acknowledgment and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have any time to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City was in complete chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Zade Radcliffe’s visit was not well-intentioned, and Aron Jackson seemed no longer to be Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible pair of hands was controlling everything in Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed had to go to Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see how capable the other party was to dare treat himself as a chess piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they not fear that this chess piece was too heavy and could smash the chessboard to pieces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy Master, your subordinate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson followed behind Julius Reed, somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, it’s like when you were in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you dare to leave my side without my permission, even for half a step, you’re dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed spoke flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your subordinate understands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian Tompson’s throat moved, she lowered her head, and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the corner of her mouth was an inadvertent smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife, where are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Armin Levis Group, Julius Reed took out his phone and called Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a big incident had happened in Gonzalez City, and he had been delayed here for almost an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are you calling wife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the phone came a familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna Harris!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed stopped in his tracks, murder in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>",1392,"2026-06-06T17:05:08.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfac446f028135d3138aaa9861c0cb2c652f916e1b5b23019599213508c97d8f","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-974","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-972",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
