night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three men donning duckbill caps and carrying suitcases walked out of the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their skin was dark, their faces full of beards, to the unknowing, they might seem like friends from Africa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the airport, they hopped into a taxi and headed straight for downtown Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you guys from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so dark, the driver could only make out three blurred figures through the rearview mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was kind of creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they offered a high price, paying upfront five hundred yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, the driver might have looked for other passengers to share the ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there is a distance from the airport to downtown, and the flow of passengers is quite heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονցο.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a coastal city, whether returning from overseas or setting sail from here, most people have to transit through the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for five hundred yuan, why would the driver bother sharing the ride?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just hummed a tune, speeding all the way to the downtown area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the trip, no matter what the driver said, no one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they had paid in advance, with real bills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the driver didn’t make a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the car, the three men entered an alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is so uncomfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them threw the duckbill cap onto the ground and tidied up his flattened hair: “I’m really curious how you put up with this thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, he peeled off the fake beard from his face, which seemed somewhat painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Terry Moore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another squatted down carefully, picked up the duckbill cap, dusted it off, and muttered with resentment: “When you borrowed this cap from me, you didn’t say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You said my duckbill cap looked cool, swagger when worn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lied to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other took off his cap and placed it on his head: “This thing, only you would like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After removing the beards, the three men transformed into another set of appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Julius Reed, Terry Moore, and Karen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Wayland, Julius did not take the private plane with Lillian Tompson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he asked Lillian Tompson to wait a few hours at the international airport at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took Terry Moore and Karen and sneaked onto a plane through a secret channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With money, one can make the devil turn the millstone, not to mention Lillian Tompson who held considerable influence in Wayland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting any time, she got the three of them on the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, where are we headed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore always felt there was something off about his hairstyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, you summon us brothers all mysteriously, it’s definitely not for anything good,” Karen chuckled: “Wayland is so nice, with all those mature ladies, why come to this place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Natalia Leocadia’s death, they stayed with the Leocadia Family, becoming Sophia Leocadia’s personal bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their treatment had also increased several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s the poison in your body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius looked at Karen, while sending a text message, he asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to thank you for that,” Karen took out a packet of pills from his pocket, shoved them into Julius’s hand: “Boss, this is a little token of my appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three pills a day, they work wonders, and they don’t harm the body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius sniffed, a strong medicinal scent hit his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s for your lower back pain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen gave him a knowing look: “You understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That formula from last time, I’ve improved it, and have prepared it just for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius pocketed the medicine, patted Karen on the shoulder: “I didn’t save you in vain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back pain from last time had recovered in just two or three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it hadn’t hurt since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being prepared never hurt anyone, who knows when the back might start hurting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrry Moore looked warily towards the entrance of the alley, his right hand revealing a flying dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure flashed by, quickly approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed lifted his hand, signaling Terry Moore not to be nervous, “Orren Beaumont, no one followed you, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, boss, when I, Orren Beaumont, do things, it’s always safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orren Beaumont looked back and whispered, “Boss, any orders?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a question for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed paused for a moment, lowering his voice, “Lately, has Aron Jackson been out of sorts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orren Beaumont was a spy they had planted between Fabian Percival and Ivan Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Fabian Percival was killed and Ivan Reed returned to the capital, Orren Beaumont stayed hidden by Aron Jackson’s side as an informant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, they all knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apart from Aron Jackson and Julius Reed, no one knew who Orren Beaumont really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To outsiders, Orren Beaumont was just a young fellow who defected from Aron Jackson’s employees and then betrayed Fabian Percival, switching sides twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Out of sorts…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Orren Beaumont nodded, “Lately, Boss Aron has been somewhat irritable, not as close to the staff brothers as he used to be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue, tell me everything you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed felt a sinking feeling in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson had encountered trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the lack of response to that letter, he knew, Aron Jackson was not Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before, Boss Aron always ate and drank with the brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, although there are activities, you can feel that Boss Aron is preoccupied and seems to be just going through the motions with the brothers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orren Beaumont thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead, “Lately, when Boss Aron goes out, he takes brothers who didn’t use to show up much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, a brother complained to me, wondering if he had done something wrong since Boss Aron hardly acknowledges them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have the staff handbook for Aron Jackson’s employees?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, when did he start acting abnormally?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s voice turned somewhat cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A week ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, about a week ago,” Orren Beaumont nodded, “I have the handbook, but it’s not comprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As you know, although my position isn’t low, I don’t have the authority to access all of Boss Aron’s employees’ information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing the real Orren Beaumont and becoming the new Orren Beaumont, he held a significant position among Aron Jackson’s staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, Orren Beaumont still couldn’t have complete control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turnover among Aron Jackson’s employees was frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New people often joined, and old ones left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To accurately control it would require a considerable amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, just give me the list of people close to Aron Jackson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see who has disappeared lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s expression was as cold as frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who was familiar with most of Aron Jackson’s habits and could seamlessly take control must be someone close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noam Martin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orren Beaumont blurted out, “Noam Martin took time off to go home a week ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said his mother was seriously ill and it might be a long time before he could return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, Boss Aron personally hosted a banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the banquet, Noam Martin left overnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does he have any distinguishing features?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or any particular habits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed had a bold guess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disguise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, the cost of a mask was high, but the profits it brought were significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Lillian Tompson, but even the former employees of Ivan Reed could engage the Alliance’s disguise masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask that Orren Beaumont was currently wearing was the same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gambling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noam Martin is addicted to gambling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orren Beaumont rubbed his hands, “Wherever there’s gambling, he will definitely be involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Boss Aron disciplined him more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even chopped off one of his fingers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that finger, when Noam Martin smokes, he can only hold the cigarette with two other fingers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-06T17:05:08.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","88d8249df4485b9c461549191b16d681dbf5d38f7be8829ad781d6f8ce465017","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-978","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-976",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
