Chapter 441: 441
“Forget it!”
Julius Reed shook his head helplessly, knowing that even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear his name now.
Having lived for over ten thousand years, he had actually been brought down by a woman.
“Young Master Percival, you are a man of stature.”
He took a deep breath, channeling all his rage onto Zane Percival.
“Kneel, and don’t force me to act.”
Zane Percival’s face turned extremely unsightly upon hearing this.
With Itai Huntington pressing down, he probably had no room to maneuver.
“Julius Reed, you’re ruthless in your dealings! Be careful of retribution!”
He said through gritted teeth.
With this kneel today, he was finished!
“Since you lack dignity, I’ll help you find it!”
Bang!
Julius Reed kicked without warning, striking Zane Percival hard in the groin!
“Ah…”
With a heart-wrenching scream, Zane Percival knelt on the ground, his face as red as a liver, in unbearable pain!
But before he could recover, Julius Reed’s knee slammed forward!
Directly hitting Zane Percival in the mouth.
Bang!
Then he smacked Zane Percival’s head hard with his right hand, and all his teeth fell to the ground, mixed with fresh blood.
“Remember my words, in Gonzalez City, if you see me or my family members, make sure to steer clear. If you truly can’t avoid us, kneel when you see me.”
Julius Reed pointed at Zane Percival, saying coldly, “Otherwise, I’ll beat you every time I see you!”
Insulting Quella Radcliffe and not being dead was already a mercy from him.
But sometimes, living can be more painful than death.
“I’ll keep the video for now, to see how you behave.”
Julius Reed took out his phone and saved the video of himself beating Zane Percival just now.
“Uh…”
At this moment, Zane Percival collapsed on the ground, his body convulsing, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
Not a single tooth was left in his mouth!
All of them on the ground.
“This way, you’re probably going to offend the Percival Family to the death.”
Itai Huntington whispered behind Julius Reed.
Although the Percival Family was not one of the top major families, being able to monopolize the logistics business in Gonzalez City was enough to illustrate the family’s strength.
Now, Zane Percival, the most valued member of the Percival Family, had been beaten like this. Once the video got out, under pressure, the Percival Family might retaliate!
“No matter, I have a big life. Besides, I have you, don’t I?”
Julius Reed smiled indifferently, which caused Itai Huntington some awkwardness, but she recovered quickly. She hugged Julius Reed’s waist and walked slowly away from the shooting range in front of everyone.
“Zane Percival’s mother is Jennifer Lopez, from the capital city. Even though she divorced Zane Percival’s father, Arlo Percival, she always cared for this son.”
After leaving the shooting range, Itai Huntington turned serious: “The Lopez Family has considerable influence in the capital city. If Jennifer Lopez learns that Zane Percival was beaten like this, she will surely retaliate against you! Then, it will be difficult for me to ensure your safety.”
She sighed, looking at Julius Reed with a complex expression: “Do you know what fear is?”
This man in front of her had first hit Bran Cook, and now he had publicly dealt with Zane Percival.
Fearing that others might not retaliate against him!
It can be said that he’s irretrievably walking the path of courting death!
In this world, is there anyone he’s afraid of?
“Fear, huh!”
Julius Reed thought for a moment and sighed: “The thing in this world that scares me the most is my wife’s washboard.”
Remembering the days when he had made mistakes and Quella Radcliffe made him kneel on the washboard, the once-hidden Dragon King, the illustrious Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, surprisingly showed a hint of fear in his eyes!
If the world’s big figures knew about this, one wonders what they would think.
“You’re so formidable, yet you still fear your wife?”
Itai Huntington now fully suspected that Julius Reed’s previous weakness was just an act.
How could such a powerful man, with such a mysterious background, possibly view the Radcliffe Family of Gonzalez City as anything significant?
An ant trying to shake a tree?
The Radcliffe Family probably couldn’t even compare to an ant.
“Afraid! Of course, I’m afraid! I’ll have you know, you’ve really done me in today!”
Julius Reed shook his head, then seemed to recall something, “Speaking of this Jennifer Lopez, what’s her story?”
He hadn’t expected Zane Percival to have such a formidable mother!
“The Lopez Family from the capital, Jennifer Lopez is now the chairwoman of the Energy Company, with a fortune of over ten billion! If she really comes storming to Gonzalez City, I might not be able to hold her off.”
Itai Huntington’s expression turned somewhat solemn, “During the half-year I spent in the capital, I spent most of my time dealing with this woman. She’s difficult to handle. You need to be careful; otherwise, you might easily capsize in the gutter.”
“Got it. I’ll take a cab back, if my mother-in-law catches a glimpse of me, she’ll probably nag on endlessly again.”
Julius Reed refused Itai Huntington’s offer to give him a ride home.
Quella Radcliffe was a woman after all, and which woman doesn’t get jealous?
“Then I won’t see you out.”
Itai Huntington, a woman of such deep schemes, certainly knew what boundaries to maintain.
“Miss, you don’t have to demean yourself and tarnish your reputation for this.”
In the car, Diamond spoke in a muffled voice.
It pained him to see Itai Huntington getting cozy with Julius Reed.
Especially that line about ‘what I said to you in bed’ – it had completely sullied his reputation.
Was this guy really worth it?
“My business isn’t your concern!”
Itai Huntington snapped coldly, “Diamond, I’ve been searching for so many years, he might be the only person who can help me achieve what I need to do. I can’t wait any longer.”
“Miss, there are many capable people out there, you shouldn’t have to…”
“Enough!”
Itai Huntington scolded sharply, then spoke calmly, “I still haven’t been able to figure out his background.”
“What? You’ve used your connections in the capital?”
Diamond was clearly surprised.
Others might not know Itai Huntington’s identity, but he was very aware.
“I had people check, but they came up with nothing.”
Itai Huntington frowned, looking through the window at the trees swiftly passing by, feeling very puzzled.
“He’s a mystery. At least someone that Black Wind can’t find out about, must be classified as top secret.”
Diamond nodded.
“Black Wind is still investigating, but so far there’s still no clue. However, there is one piece of news that’s rather interesting.”
Itai Huntington said with a light smile, “Sophia Leocadia seems to be even more interested in this man than I am.”
“The Leocadia family’s little princess? Isn’t she the precious gem of the Leocadia Family? How could she be involved with this man?”
Diamond conversed while driving.
“Old Master Leocadia is critically ill, reportedly won’t last past the fifteenth of the first month. The Leocadia Family is in turmoil; power struggle among the three sons, the Lee Family is even looking to enter into a marriage alliance with the Leocadia Family. The capital is quite lively now.”
Itai Huntington closed her eyes, saying, “I’m tired.”
Immediately, Diamond slowed down the car, adjusted the air conditioning, and turned off the car’s music.
…
Julius Reed only realized after leaving the shooting range that he had forgotten to bring money with him.
With no other choice, he pulled out his phone and called Aron Jackson to send a car to pick him up.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the cash for a cab either!
If he got back late, he would be nagged by Knox Ridge again.
After making the call, he decided to simply wander around the vicinity.
But a familiar voice came from not far off.
“I don’t want to be controlled by you anymore! I want to live the life I desire!”
