night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spring breeze brushed the face, everywhere was bursting with green vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City, being by the sea, always had a warm and humid climate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that the moment Quella Radcliffe stepped out of the airport, she immediately felt the long-missed aura of her hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the nearest wharf was still tens of kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna, how come you suddenly decided to visit the capital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe, arm in arm with Anna Harris, voiced her concern with worry, “We should’ve enjoyed a few days of fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the situation at home, I just couldn’t…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Burl Radcliffe in Gonzalez City Central Hospital made her anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the incident involving Zade Radcliffe was still fresh in her memory, this time, it was her own father!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would’ve preferred the sickness to be false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Burl Radcliffe could be healthy and well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna Harris smiled reassuringly, “Uncle will be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just bored and thought to surprise you by coming to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew something like this would happen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, according to what my mom said, Dad seems to be out of danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe managed a weak smile as she quickly walked out of the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they descended the steps, they saw Aron Jackson in a white suit, smiling and approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aron Jackson, what are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was a bit taken aback upon seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she realized, “Julius sent you, didn’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Julius Reed had talked on the phone; otherwise, Aron Jackson wouldn’t have known to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson walked towards a Maybach, gently opening the car door, “Sister-in-law, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, Anna.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe, bringing Anna Harris along, took a seat in the rear of the sedan, nodding in appreciation, “Thank you for your troubles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s what I should do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson took the passenger seat, turned his head back, and asked, “Is Brother Davenport doing alright in the capital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe nodded without saying much else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real or not, she wanted to see for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Head to the Central Hospital, and make it quick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson turned around and commanded in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver started the sedan, which took off into the night, headed for Gonzalez City Central Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their departure, a middle-aged man with a butcher’s knife tucked at his waist emerged from the woods outside the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between his fingers, he held a dry cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about that, quite strong, isn’t it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in black stepped out from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore black gloves and also had a dry cigarette between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would’ve thought I’d learn to smoke at my age,” Brysen Beaumont shook his head with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devlin, you really are a son of a bitch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he couldn’t help but take another drag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A harsh coughing fit erupted from Brysen Beaumont’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re pretty badly hurt, but luckily you didn’t die,” Devlin chuckled with a grin as he took another puff of smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled leisurely, twisting his neck, “Why didn’t you make a move earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t beat them,” Brysen Beaumont leaned against a tree, visibly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Devlin’s tone carried a hint of surprise, “You, Master Beaumont, could reach up to the sky and down into the oceans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you couldn’t beat a bunch of kids?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderpeak Hall Mage, his name shook the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the northwest road, he was beaten like a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down and out like a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Devlin found him, he was hanging on by a single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, gently crushed it out with his foot, and stretched out his hand, “Give me another one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you addicted now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin reluctantly took out another cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give it here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont snatched it, took out one, and pocketed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲ0νǤ0.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Beaumont, what’s the difference between you and a bandit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re a renowned pillar of the Thunderpeak Hall, with enough money in your pocket to fill a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re robbing me of cigarettes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin said with a plaintive tone, “Is this something a person should do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont, disregarding everything else, quietly lit another cigarette, “You know, money means nothing to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d rather have this pack of cigarettes, it’s more substantial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep drag, coughed a bit, but still enjoyed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can one live without a hobby?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin shook his head and sighed, “If grandma found out I taught you to smoke, I’d probably get a beating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont, holding his cigarette, leaned against a tree and looked at Devlin, “I’ve been obsessed with martial arts all these years with no other hobbies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My only hobby was fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that battle on the northwest road really knocked me senseless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled bitterly, “There’s always someone better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma didn’t choose the opponent wisely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s something only you dare say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t dare; I’m afraid of getting hit,” Devlin, wearing leather gloves, squatted down, gently teased the sprouting green grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devlin, you’re not so afraid of grandma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows, grandma likes you a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont finished his second cigarette and subconsciously reached into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hesitated, not lighting up a third one right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the best things should come slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have good skills and you’re handsome, why wouldn’t grandma like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin gave a bitter smile, “I don’t want to be liked by anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not up to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont rubbed his hands together and sighed, “Those people, they chased me all the way to China.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, you just killed a few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin looked up, schadenfreude in his voice, “Who made you kill eighteen experts along the way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, never thought you’d get injured?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know I just killed someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You forgot, my work is underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire plan for Gonzalez City was laid out by grandma, and I personally arranged it,” Devlin pointed at the bottom of Brysen Beaumont’s shoe, “There’s blood under your foot, I can smell it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont admired from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t mention why you didn’t rob Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma’s order was that this woman must be controlled,” Devlin stood up, looked in the direction Quella Radcliffe left, and asked aloud, “Even though you, Master Beaumont, are injured, facing a bunch of ordinary people, it shouldn’t be too hard to beat them, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They weren’t ordinary people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont shook his head, but couldn’t help it and pulled out the third cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They were well-trained Shadow Warriors.” He lit his lighter and took a deep drag, “The one in white earlier, he’s very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I wasn’t injured, it would be easy to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now I’m seriously hurt, I can’t win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aron Jackson?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin raised his eyebrow, “That doesn’t seem right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m well aware of Aron Jackson’s details.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know his name, but that man is formidable, a martial artist,” Brysen Beaumont continued to stare ahead, “I couldn’t have misjudged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we really fought, you wouldn’t last five moves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll check it out later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin fell silent for a moment, then spoke up, “I’m going to head off first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brysen Beaumont turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City, Five-lakes Clubhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Fabian Percival died, its doors had been tightly shut, with no one in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a black silhouette slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old friend, I’ve come to see you again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how you’re doing down there, but I promise you, I’ll make it happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be long before grandma will personally come to accompany you,” the shadow said, “If you’re short on money, just let me know in a dream, and I’ll burn some paper money for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flicker of flames danced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim light, Fabian Percival’s spiritual tablet became intermittently visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the paper money was completely burned, the shadow slowly departed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-06T17:05:08.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","54113f5b3a4576a929b479e34b4344a84c108a1de88aa5c724adb6be4ee606fb","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-976","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-974",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
