Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 136 - 135: Changing Clothes 1



“Is it you?”

When Miguel Abbott saw Julius Reed, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

But this smile was quickly concealed, replaced by an air of indifference.

Since the other party had shown up at the Pearl on the Water, it meant that his supreme card had taken effect, and moreover, the other party had found it quite useful.

Though extorted for tens of billions, to Miguel Abbott, that was chump change.

Money lost can be earned back, but such opportunities do not come often.

Being able to press several tycoons to the ground with one’s power, how could he be an ordinary person?

Observing the scene before him, his mind instantly understood what was going on.

This gentleman must have been restless after getting off the plane and stepped on Atlas Leopold right away.

And it occurred in his own hotel.

Indeed, he was facing a dilemma, but it was also an opportunity.

His prior intent to play both sides now seemed unfeasible.

He was left with only two paths.

Either stand with Atlas Leopold, thereby wasting all his previous efforts, with the tens of billions thrown away for nothing,

Or if he sided with Julius Reed, it pretty much meant standing against all the tycoons, clearly declaring war with the other families!

“Not bad, thinking of coming over to Boss Abbott for a complimentary dinner, but it seems, this meal is not easy to enjoy!”

Julius Reed sat with one leg crossed over the other, his face revealing an enigmatic smile.

To Miguel Abbott, that smile was pregnant with meaning.

“How can you speak to the Chairman like that?”

Bald Abbott, who had just sent Haddon Michael back, pointed at Julius Reed, his tone laced with indifference.

Miguel Abbott, as the chairman of Moonlight Group and one of the top ten wealthiest individuals,

Demanded respect from everyone, who had to greet him deferentially as Boss Abbott.

But now this youngster, having struck Atlas Leopold, was also talking to his boss with such a tone.

In Allen’s mind, he had already resolved to deal with this young man.

Slap!

What he didn’t expect was that the previously unflappable Miguel Abbott would slap him across the face, bellowing furiously, “Get out of here!”

“Yes… Boss!”

Allen, clutching his face, hastily bent over and scurried away.

Not just him, the other bodyguards were also filled with shock.

Having followed Miguel Abbott for so long, they had never seen the boss lose his temper before.

And Allen, as the head of the bodyguards, was treated like a brother by Miguel Abbott on a usual basis.

Now, everyone had one question in mind: who exactly was this young man?

“Uncle Miguel, you know him?”

Atlas Leopold also sensed that something was off.

Miguel Abbott was a man who valued his pride, and even in talks with him, one had to be polite, addressing him as Uncle Miguel.

“I know him!”

Miguel Abbott didn’t hesitate, striding over to Julius Reed, and said apologetically, “Brother Reed, I’ve failed to take good care of you today. How about this, I’ll host a banquet at the top floor to offer my apologies, how does that sound?”

As soon as he spoke, Elize Yarrow’s mouth hung open in shock.

She was very clear on who Miguel Abbott was, and she had thought she was in trouble, but now Boss Abbott was voluntarily inviting them to dinner?

But what she hadn’t expected even more was that Julius Reed, without a hint of politeness, simply nodded and stood up!

“Dress sexily tonight, accompany me well!”

As he passed by Elize Yarrow, Julius Reed spoke audibly for everyone to hear.

And he casually threw a card to one of Miguel Abbott’s bodyguards, “Go, buy two sets of uniforms and come back.”

“There’s no need for you to spend money on such matters!”

Miguel Abbott immediately returned the card and ordered, “Handle this right away!”

“Yes, sir!”

Upon the boss’s command, the bodyguard immediately turned and trotted away from the Pearl of the Waters.

Only then did Miguel Abbott take a careful look at Elize Yarrow.

He always felt she looked familiar, and now his gaze toward Julius Reed was also somewhat strange.

It seems that men all have a taste for it!

But what he didn’t know was that Julius Reed had no interest in Elize Yarrow at all; he merely wanted to humiliate Atlas Leopold.

By tomorrow, it would become common knowledge

that Atlas Leopold’s fiancée spent the night with another man, engaging in all sorts of antics.

For a man as prideful as the Four Great Gentlemen, it would be worse than death.

“Uncle Miguel! ”

Sure enough, upon hearing Julius Reed’s words, Atlas Leopold’s face became as dark as water.

“This man has hit me and my brothers! Even my employees and bodyguards were injured by him!”

Standing up, Atlas Leopold looked coldly at Miguel Abbott, “Now, he wants to take my fiancée upstairs, and you’re just going to watch? The Leopold Family will never allow such a thing to happen, no matter what!”

For the wealthy families, reputation is everything!

Moreover, Atlas Leopold’s words were quite euphemistic, not seeming like a threat to Miguel Abbott, yet conveying the underlying message.

Today’s matter was no longer a small dispute, but involved the interests between several major families!

“I’m sorry, Nephew Atlas.”

With a faint smile, Miguel Abbott took Julius Reed by the arm and walked toward the upstairs.

A simple apology made his stance clear.

“Damn it!”

Atlas Leopold knelt on the ground, his nails digging deeply into his flesh.

He had never been humiliated like this in his life before. And it was done right in front of so many people, stepping on him ruthlessly!

“Young master, what should we do?” The employees asked.

“All useless! Get out of my sight!”

Atlas Leopold roared and pulled out his cellphone from his jacket.

After hesitating for a moment, he violently threw the phone away, deciding not to call his father.

“Let’s go!”

The employees quickly helped the young master up and left the Pearl of the Waters posthaste.

Once in the car, Atlas Leopold took another cellphone from under the passenger seat.

This cellphone had only one contact, whom he really didn’t want to call unless absolutely necessary.

“At the Pearl of the Waters, I don’t want him to live until tomorrow.” After uttering this sentence, he hung up the phone.

“Julius Reed, you had a way to heaven but you didn’t take it, and now you’re barging into hell with no gate!”

Meanwhile, at the top-floor restaurant of the Pearl of the Waters, Julius Reed was leisurely enjoying the night view of Five-river Province.

The scenery from the thirty-third floor wasn’t bad at all when looking down from such a height.

“The apology you gave just now has already put you squarely against the Leopold Family!”

Julius Reed, with his back toward Miguel Abbott, spoke nonchalantly, “As a result, it’s very likely all my enemies will choose to go against you. Boss Abbott, that doesn’t seem like a wise decision.”

With Atlas Leopold leaving like that, he definitely wouldn’t just let it go!

And it wasn’t just Atlas Leopold losing face but the entire Leopold Family being shamed!

Given Miguel Abbott’s attitude, the two families were now complete enemies!

“Would Mr. Reed just stand by if I were in trouble? I’m a businessman who loves to take risks! If I fail, I’ll just start over. But what if I succeed?”

With a faint smile, Miguel Abbott sat at the table, “It might save me twenty years of struggle!”
