Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Moreover, with years of life on the run, it was not a difficult task for her to get information out of Janet Carmichael.

Willson Group had already been set on the right track, and Julius Reed no longer needed to worry about anything.

Most importantly, during his time in Five-river Province, the western swordsman Lucan Davenport had already taken his men and wiped out all the Shadow Warriors who followed them.

Apart from a few old Shadow Warrior organizations that were still watching, no one inside the reward list dared to take Julius Reed’s offers anymore.

Even though the amount of money was getting larger and more people were offering rewards.

There’s money to be made, but you always need to have a life to spend it.

Otherwise, what’s the difference from waste paper?

Having left Gonzalez City for so long, Julius Reed was starting to miss Quella Radcliffe.

They had deceived Knox Ridge by saying they were already divorced, and Quella Radcliffe had moved out to live separately; he guessed that his in-laws might finally take it easy.

In the afternoon, Julius Reed took a private plane arranged by Miguel Abbott, bringing Anna Harris back to Gonzalez City with him.

This was something Quella Radcliffe repeatedly entrusted him to do, to bring her good friend back along the way.

Previously, Quella Radcliffe had been too busy with company affairs to properly accompany Anna Harris, but now that her work was almost done, she wanted to catch up with her old friend.

“Who exactly are you?”

Sitting on the private plane, Anna Harris felt extremely complicated.

These past few days, she had used her connections to try and investigate Julius Reed, but she had found out nothing.

Yet the little she had roughly heard was enough to startle her.

This seemingly somewhat bad young man had managed to place a big green hat on Atlas Leopold, the most capable son of the Five-river Province.

And the Leopold Family had actually acquiesced to this, with no retaliation whatsoever.

Later on, Atlas Leopold was strangely paralyzed, and the Leopold Family’s most outstanding successor became disabled like that.

As for the cause, opinions were all over the place.

There were even rumors that this was Julius Reed’s doing.

But Anna Harris didn’t believe it. The Leopold Family was a century-old clan in Five-river Province. If Julius Reed really had broken Atlas Leopold’s legs, could he still be sitting in a plane, admiring the view?

“I’m the husband of your best friend.”

Julius Reed leaned back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

“You don’t have to tell me that!”

Anna Harris was somewhat angry, “Don’t think by taking me back, I’ll cover up your affair! Julius Reed, you better not forget, when you were so down and out back then, our Quella Radcliffe still married you. They say when a man gets rich, he turns bad, and I see it’s really true.”

Every time she thought of how close Elize Yarrow was with Julius Reed, Anna Harris felt it was unfair on behalf of Quella Radcliffe.

“Scumbag!”

She muttered under her breath.

Indeed, the good-looking guys are all bad.

Not a single good one among them.

“With your eloquence, why don’t you become a host?”

Julius Reed, with his eyes closed, asked in an unhurried manner.

He didn’t dislike Anna Harris, but he couldn’t say he felt particularly fond of her either. Out of consideration for Quella Radcliffe, he had to look after her to some extent.

Otherwise, the feelings he had worked so hard to cultivate with Quella Radcliffe would have to start all over again.

“Are you complimenting me or insulting me? Julius Reed, can you not be a decent person? Must you do things that warrant divine punishment? Also, this private plane, did you charm some rich and beautiful woman into lending it to you?”

Anna Harris, after all, was a returnee from overseas and understood the price of the helicopter quite well.

Just relying on Quella Radcliffe’s current wealth, it was far from enough to pay for this massive expense.

“Prepare a parachute.”

Julius Reed opened his eyes and looked at the bodyguard in front of him.

“Yes!”

The bodyguard immediately started preparing.

“What are you going to do?”

Anna Harris raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Julius Reed would suddenly say something like this for no reason.

Could there be a problem with the plane?

But it didn’t seem like there was anything abnormal, right?

“I think you’re a bit noisy.”

Julius Reed glanced below the aircraft, “If you’re unlucky and end up hanging from a tree branch, you might get eaten by the wild animals here.”

“Who are you trying to scare? What era do you think this is? There are still wild animals? At best, there might be a few squirrels or monkeys!”

“Then you can try it! If there really are any, you might even make the news!”

“Julius Reed… I need to call Quella Radcliffe!”

“A soldier outside of his command may not accept orders.”

“I was wrong…”

“Take the parachute back.”

Half an hour later, the helicopter finally landed on the rooftop of the Titan Group International Building in Gonzalez City.

The Titan Group was the leading enterprise in Gonzalez City, and Ovidiu Cook even had three private helicopters; landing here was the most convenient option.

When Anna Harris set foot on the rooftop, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though the air was fresher.

She had just entertained a terrifying thought—if Julius Reed was worried that she would snitch and really threw her off the plane, how grievously unjust her death would be.

What a relief.

Julius Reed had been sleeping the whole time and didn’t pay any attention to her.

“Mr. Reed!”

From afar, Ovidiu Cook approached with a group of black-clad bodyguards to greet him.

“Welcome back to Gonzalez City! I’ve arranged a banquet to refresh you after your journey!”

As soon as he learned of Julius Reed’s return, he had reserved a spot in his family restaurant to welcome his boss.

“Forget it, I’ve just come back to Gonzalez City, and I’m planning to eat at home tonight.”

Julius Reed waved his hand with a smile, rejecting Ovidiu Cook’s kindness. He and Quella Radcliffe hadn’t seen each other in a long time; it was about time they had dinner at home.

He just didn’t know whether Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe had come to their senses these past few days.

The debts that had accumulated were almost all collected, and every member of the Ridge Family who had borrowed money was hounded by debt collectors, leading to Knox Ridge’s complete loss of face.

It was said that at the Ridge family patriarch’s birthday a few days ago, Knox Ridge hadn’t been invited.

And after Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe shamelessly showed up, not a single person gave them a warm welcome.

The wicked have their own grind.

“I’ve arranged a car outside to take you straight home,” said Ovidiu Cook before turning to Anna Harris, “And this lady is…?”

He tried to remember but couldn’t recall ever encountering such a person.

“Oh, her! She’s here to visit a girlfriend in Gonzalez City, don’t worry about her.”

Julius Reed ignored Anna Harris’s murderous gaze and strode into the Titan Building, heading straight down to the first floor in the elevator.

Outside, a brand-new Maybach was parked at the entrance of the building.

“Julius Reed, aren’t you afraid I’ll tattle? If Quella Radcliffe finds out about your dirty laundry, she’ll have you kneeling and scrubbing the washboard!”

Anna Harris followed behind, grumbling discontentedly.

This was completely different from the husband Quella Radcliffe had described!

One was an honest and dutiful son-in-law who endured hardship without complaint and never talked back or retaliated when scolded or beaten.

But now? This was practically thuggish behavior!

Anna Harris couldn’t even imagine, with Julius Reed’s personality, how he could possibly stay at home and do household chores obediently.

“Could it be that Quella Radcliffe has changed husbands?”

A daring idea suddenly popped into her mind.
