Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Going Out on a Date_1

“Darnell, I want Julius Reed dead!” Cornelius Martin collapsed into Darnell Lopez’s embrace, breaking down in tears.

The couple only had one son, so they always provided Tariq Lopez with the best treatment since he was little.

Now grown-up, Tariq had never faced any setbacks.

Yet in the prime of his life, he had a leg amputated.

No one knew how much this incident would impact Tariq mentally.

“Don’t worry! I will definitely cripple the bastard who did this! Make him pay a horrible price! I want him to kneel at Tariq’s feet begging for mercy!” Viciousness filled Darnell Lopez’s eyes.

...

“Husband, I want my revenge now!”

Cornelius Martin was on the verge of collapse, her entire being weakened by crying.

“Alright! I’ll arrange for someone right away!”

Darnell Lopez took out his cell phone from his pocket and took a deep breath.

How could Tariq, the direct grandson of the mighty Lopez Family from the capital, have his leg broken by someone else!

If this got out, it would mean that both Darnell Lopez and the Lopez Family were incompetent!

“This is unbearable, utterly unbearable!” He directly dialed an unfamiliar number.

“What do you want.”

The voice at the other end of the phone was exceptionally cold.

“I want to buy a life.”

Darnell Lopez’s voice was almost hoarse as he spoke.

At this moment, hatred had completely taken over his brain!

All he wanted was for Julius Reed to die!

Why should the assailant go free while his own son lay in the hospital?

After ten seconds of silence,

the voice on the phone said, “It can be done, but it will be a bit more expensive.”

“How much?”

Money was no object to Darnell Lopez; the Lopez Family was rich!

He just wanted blood!

“Fifty million.”

“Fifty million? Aren’t you taking advantage of the situation a little too much?”

“The person you want dead is acquainted with Aron Jackson. We have some difficulties, so…”

“I can give you the money! But I want Julius Reed’s head delivered to me before dark!”

After hanging up the phone, Darnell Lopez took a deep breath.

“How soon will you act?”

Cornelius Martin’s eyes were filled with resentment.

“Before tonight.”

Darnell Lopez looked up at the sun hanging directly in the sky, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “Julius Reed, you have less than half a day to live.”

If he could just see Julius Reed dead, he would feel somewhat relieved.

He had heard that Julius Reed had a family; he wouldn’t mind being generous and sending Julius Reed’s whole family to reunite with him down below.

“That bitch Jennifer Lopez, what do you want to do with her?”

Having learned that the hit on Julius Reed was already in progress, Cornelius Martin’s gaze shifted back to Jennifer Lopez!

Without Jennifer Lopez, Tariq would not be lying in the hospital bed!

Right now, the three of them should be enjoying a lively lunch together!

But none of that could be brought back.

“The old man has decided to investigate! No one is going to protect her!”

Darnell Lopez slammed his fist onto the hospital’s wall, saying fiercely, “I’ll make sure she never gets a chance to turn her life around!”

…

The annual meeting of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance was quite special.

It started with Fabian Percival showing up at the door with gifts in a show of force.

Then, the Lopez family members were forced to apologize to Elwood Thorneycroft.

Even Tariq Lopez was beaten like a dog, kneeling to apologize before being dumped on the road.

Finally, Ivan Reed from the capital ambushed the venue and took Elwood Thorneycroft away in front of everyone.

The seemingly serene Gonzalez City was again churning with undercurrents!

“Julius Reed, this is Jennifer Lopez’s trap! You couldn’t be unaware of that, right?”

At that moment, Julius Reed was sitting on the sofa in his own home, watching Itai Huntington, who was dressed flamboyantly in the video with a look of helplessness.

He had not wanted to answer this video call in the first place!

But since the call had come in, not answering it would probably have raised Quella Radcliffe’s suspicions.

Actually.

By the time Julius Reed’s video call ringtone sounded, the phone had already fallen into Quella Radcliffe’s hands.

Seeing that the caller was Itai Huntington, Quella Radcliffe directly picked up and sat opposite Julius Reed.

Listening very seriously.

The feeling of being watched was too uncomfortable.

“I’m asking you a question! It’s clear that Jennifer Lopez wants to use Tariq Lopez to drag you into her trap. You’re so smart, you must have seen it coming, right?”

Itai Huntington asked irritably.

After returning home yesterday, she felt that something was amiss.

But the events of the evening unfolded too suddenly, and with Ivan Reed’s subsequent arrival, Itai Huntington’s thoughts were all in disarray.

It wasn’t until she got home that she realized it.

Then, Itai Huntington immediately sent someone out to investigate.

And what they found was significant!

Tariq Lopez was indeed sent to the business alliance’s annual banquet by Jennifer Lopez using Arlo Percival’s logistics group.

The situation was very obvious.

This was Jennifer Lopez using Tariq Lopez to pit the entire Lopez Family against Julius Reed.

However, this plot had already been diffused by Julius Reed, successfully directing the conflict towards Fabian Percival.

But then a chair came down, breaking one of Tariq Lopez’s legs.

“Half an hour ago, my people got word that Tariq Lopez was in National Northern Mount Hospital in Five-river Province, having one of his legs amputated.”

Thinking about this, Itai Huntington really wanted to punch Julius Reed’s head in.

“I know it was a trap,”

Julius Reed, leaning on the sofa, stretched, “But now, hasn’t Fabian Percival also been dragged down by me? If Tariq Lopez hadn’t knelt down to apologize yesterday, Fabian Percival would have had no issue.”

Elwood Thorneycroft was naturally aware of Jennifer Lopez’s plan, and if Tariq Lopez had revealed his identity yesterday, Elwood Thorneycroft would have definitely kept his cool.

“If you knew it was a trap, why did you still beat Tariq Lopez? Now with Tariq Lopez amputated, the Lopez Family will surely be at loggerheads with you.”

Itai Huntington grew even angrier upon hearing what Julius Reed said.

Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?

“If any Lopez family members dare to come, I’ll annihilate them completely!”

Julius Reed said languidly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up, since I still need to spend some time chatting with my wife.”

Without waiting for Itai Huntington to speak, he sat up.

And abruptly ended the video call.

“Tariq Lopez’s amputation means the Lopez Family is bound to cause you trouble,” Quella Radcliffe said with a hint of somberness in her voice, “What you did last night was indeed inappropriate.”

This time, she rarely took Itai Huntington’s side.

The power of the Lopez Family from the capital city was significant, far surpassing those families in Five-river Province.

“In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are just clouds passing by.”

Julius Reed stood up, got dressed, and prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?”

Quella Radcliffe asked curiously.

Since the business alliance was closed for the day, she didn’t have to go to work.

“I’m going to ask Itai Huntington out on a date!”

After Julius Reed finished speaking, he closed the room door.

“Over my dead body! If I don’t make you kneel on a case of instant noodles when you come back, then my name isn’t Radcliffe!”

Quella Radcliffe angrily threw a cushion in her hand against the door.

Of course, she didn’t believe Julius Reed was going out on a date.

But she couldn’t figure out what he could possibly be up to at such a critical time.

After leaving the house, Julius Reed drove directly towards the dock.

Half an hour later.

He appeared alone at the West Harbor Wharf in Gonzalez City.

It was now afternoon, and the wharf was deserted.

“Come out!”

With his back to the sea, Julius Reed called out over his shoulder.

“Hey! This business is too risky; I think you should give me something for my trouble,”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a person stepped out from the grass.
