Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Delivering a Gift_1

Gonzalez City, Five-lakes Clubhouse.

This place was originally a club that almost no one knew about.

The owner was a southerner who, after coming to Gonzalez City, had built such a high-end clubhouse.

Those who visited were all people of some status in Gonzalez City.

But oddly, this clubhouse usually did not entertain strangers.

Membership cards were also targeted and couldn’t be loaned to others.

Even for nearly ten years, no new membership cards had been issued.

Now overnight, the owner of the Five-lakes Clubhouse had Aron Jackson’s employees, responsible for overseeing the place, crippled and thrown back at the Bronze Sparrow Platform.

And the bosses who used to come here had all gathered.

“Congratulations to Mr. Thorneycroft on returning to Gonzalez City, Mr. Thorneycroft for ten thousand years!”

“Quinnton Michael pays his respects to Mr. Thorneycroft, the entire Mount Martial Arts Hall has arrived to welcome and cleanse the dust for Mr. Thorneycroft!”

“Timothy Thomas, CEO of North Sea International, pays his respects to Mr. Thorneycroft!”

…

For a moment, countless bosses who had been influential in the past, or secretly so, lined up and knelt before Fabian Percival, each with an exceedingly respectful demeanor.

After waiting, they knelt as one in worship.

They were all pawns left behind when Fabian Percival left years ago.

Some openly pretended to defect to Aron Jackson.

Secretly, they kept training employees, waiting for Fabian Percival’s return.

Now that Fabian Percival had returned to Gonzalez City, at his call, a response came from all directions!

They had money and people at their disposal.

Even some wealthy businessmen from Five-river Province sent representatives to offer congratulations.

In just one night, one-third of Aron Jackson’s employees defected, including several high-level members.

“Everyone, I, Fabian Percival, have been away for many years. I’m very happy to see you all today!”

Fabian Percival looked at the industry elites before him, his heart filled with excitement.

Return to old haunts, adorned in brocade back home.

He had left Devlin in charge of the arrangements back then, preparing for this moment.

Indeed, Devlin didn’t let him down.

“We’ve waited day and night, finally, Mr. Thorneycroft has returned!”

“Gonzalez City can finally see the light of day again!”

“Please, Mr. Thorneycroft, take up the Boss’s staff once more!”

With one shout, the crowd consciously made way.@@novelbin@@

Brown Bread, holding a pure gold Boss’s staff, slowly approached Fabian Percival.

He knelt.

“I, have returned.”

Fabian Percival gripped the Boss’s staff with one hand, his expression one of excitement.

When he had left, he entrusted the Boss’s staff.

Now upon his return, the Boss’s staff could emerge once again.

“Back then, Aron Jackson moved heaven and earth to get this staff. But I protected it with my life, finally waiting for Mr. Thorneycroft to return!”

Timothy Thomas approached Fabian Percival, respectfully handing over a bank card: “Here is the entire asset portfolio of North Sea International, now entrusted to Mr. Thorneycroft.”

“This is mine.”

“This is our group’s!”

In an instant, everyone offered up their wealth.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Fabian Percival said ‘good’ three times, his emotion very stirred.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, as long as we take out Aron Jackson, we can reclaim everything we’ve lost!”

Someone spoke out.

“And there’s the business alliance, which really operates at a profit. Our enterprises are now under your employees’ control. Just command the other businesses to submit, and Mr. Thorneycroft will be able to take complete control of the economic pulse of Gonzalez City!”

“Exactly! Itai Huntington’s business acumen is formidable. The business alliance is operating very well right now, it’s definitely a profit-making machine!”

Hearing everyone speaking all at once, Fabian Percival nodded and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

His gesture silenced the entire room.

“Ladies and Gentlemen.”

Fabian Percival placed both hands on the Boss’s staff, looked around the room with a grave expression, and said, “On the first day I returned, I was beaten. My employee bodyguards died in a car accident. My daughter, clanked into prison.”

“Who did it! How could this happen!”

“We will avenge Mr. Thorneycroft! We absolutely cannot tolerate this affront!”

“Who is so bold? I will kill his entire family!”

The people present, upon hearing this, shouted righteously indignant.

Fabian Percival was their glory, their faith.

He was also the leader who had led them to prosperity.

The cake of Gonzalez City, it seemed, was about to be redivided.

When that time came, everyone present would be a winner.

Now was the time to show loyalty; no one wanted to fall behind.

“Could it have been Aron Jackson?”

Someone speculated that in Gonzalez City, only Aron Jackson had the capacity to pull off something so grand.

Moreover, Fabian Percival’s return posed the first threat to Aron Jackson.

Fabian Percival shook his head.

“Itai Huntington?”

About the assassination of Itai Huntington, everyone there had heard something.

After all, they were employees of Fabian Percival, and they were even more aware of some details.

Alonso Dragon and one of the Four King Kongs, Fox Miller, had joined forces but failed to kill Itai Huntington; instead, they had suffered heavy casualties.

“It wasn’t her.”

Fabian Percival shook his head.

“Then who else could it be!”

Everyone looked at each other, a flurry of guesses without answers.

In Gonzalez City, who else could manage such a feat?

“It’s Julius Reed.”

Fabian Percival said angrily.

“Julius Reed? Who is that? Why haven’t I heard of him?”

“Could he be a new rising boss in Gonzalez City? But how come I haven’t heard anything about him?”

“I do know a Julius Reed, but that guy is a do-nothing son-in-law, a complete loser. He caused a huge scene at the Business Alliance a few days ago, embarrassing Bran Cook.”

Everyone had their say, speculating about the Julius Reed Fabian Percival was talking about, wondering who he could be.

When someone brought up that loser, someone else mocked, “Are you joking? Mr. Thorneycroft’s enemy, how could it be that good-for-nothing!”

The name Julius Reed was not unfamiliar to many.

Years ago, Quella Radcliffe, Gonzalez City’s great beauty, had married a loser son-in-law who hadn’t left the residential compound for three years.

Even the wedding car was smashed on his wedding day.

He had long been the laughing stock among them.

“It’s him.”

Fabian Percival’s face was as still as water.

With those words, everyone consciously shut their mouths.

No one dared to ask for trouble.

But their eyes were full of questions.

Was it really him?

A complete loser?

The Radcliffe Group was already facing bankruptcy, and even with bank loans, they couldn’t make much of a stir.

How could Julius Reed manage it?

“Mr. Thorneycroft, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Timothy Thomas stood up and asked cautiously, “Julius Reed has no money, no manpower; he’s just a loser. How could he stand against you?”

To eliminate Benson Dragon, to slap Fabian Percival’s face, and to send Elwood Thorneycroft to prison.

Could a good-for-nothing have accomplished all this?

“Are you suggesting that I’m now inferior to a good-for-nothing?”

Fabian Percival slammed his boss cane down fiercely, startling Timothy Thomas to kneel on the ground.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, that’s not what I meant; I just find it unbelievable!”

“Stand up,” said Fabian Percival, closing his eyes slowly, calming his emotions, “It’s not just you, I didn’t see it coming either.”

“Before I returned, I thought Aron Jackson was my biggest rival. Then I discovered that Itai Huntington was also powerful, so there were two names on my hit list.”

“But I never would have imagined, upon returning to Gonzalez City, that it would be a rival I never cared about who would inflict such losses on me.”

He stood up, his voice tinged with sorrow, “You must never underestimate any enemy.”

“We will heed Mr. Thorneycroft’s teachings.”

The people in the yard all bowed deeply in unison.

“Report! Julius Reed of Gonzalez City presents a large gift. The present is… is…”

“What is it, spit it out!”

“It’s a poison egg!”

The Five-lakes Clubhouse was deathly quiet.
