Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Give a Gift_1

“I can give you money, but you’ve got to be alive to spend it.”

Julius Reed was still staring at the rippling surface of the river, with no intention of turning around.

“You’re really hurting my pride,”

the man said helplessly.

“Showing weakness in front of me isn’t shameful,”

Julius Reed chuckled lightly. “Those who find it shameful are likely to have their graves overgrown with trees reaching to the skies.”

“Fine! Fine! Fine! You have my absolute respect!”

The man came over reluctantly.

“The stuff!”

Julius Reed stretched out a hand, still without turning around.

“Here!”

Smack!

The man put the item in Julius Reed’s hand with a touch of annoyance and turned to leave.

“Fox Miller, you should feel lucky,” Julius Reed turned around, looking at the USB drive in his hand, and said indifferently, “You might be the only one alive.”

“I’ll take that as a blessing!”

Fox Miller cupped his hands in a salute and disappeared from West Harbor Wharf with a flash.

Ten seconds later.

Fox Miller, who had vanished, reappeared.

“There are people around; do you need me to deal with them?”

He squatted next to Julius Reed, picked up a small stone, and tossed it toward the sea.

Plop!

The stone skipped on the surface of the water five times, creating ripples, before finally sinking into the sea.

“You can skip stones?”

Julius Reed was somewhat surprised.

A Shadow Warrior who was actually not too bad at skipping stones.

“Back in the day, I was the stone-skipping champion of my village. No exaggeration, there is hardly anyone in the whole Five-river Province who can do it better than I…”

He cut himself off halfway.

Because Julius Reed casually threw a stone, and it bounced over a dozen times on the water and showed no sign of stopping.

“… there could be at most one person who can do it better than me,” Fox Miller said unhappily.

Interrupting someone’s show-off moment is as bad as killing their parents!

“Leave those outside people to me; they could be useful. Keep a close eye on Fabian Percival for me, report directly any news you get,”

Julius Reed took a small pill from his pocket and handed it to Fox Miller: “You suffered an inner injury in your early years; it makes you cough incessantly on rainy and overcast days.”

“How did you know?”

Fox Miller took the pill, shocked in his heart.

As a teenager, he was inadvertently hit by a large rock while practicing martial arts with his master.

Though he survived, his insides itched intolerably every time it rained or the sky was overcast.

Over the years, he had visited numerous famous doctors, but none could completely cure him.

Now his condition was identified in a single sentence, filling Fox Miller with excitement.

“I used to study medicine,” Julius Reed naturally wouldn’t reveal his real identity. “Take this pill, and you’ll recover in three days.”

“Thank you!”

Fox Miller swallowed the pill on the spot and said with emotion, “The wisest decision of my life was not trying to kill you back then.”

Speaking of which, he suddenly asked, “If I had insisted on killing you back then, would you have killed me?”

This question had been haunting him.

“Of course not,”

Julius Reed said, and Fox Miller noticeably stiffened.

“Killing you would dirty my hands. I would let you kill yourself, and if you refused, I’d have someone else do it.” Julius Reed patted his shoulder, “Go back now; I’ve got serious business to attend to.”

“Jennifer Lopez is already at the Five-lakes Clubhouse, probably for the Dragon Hollyhock matter,”

Fox Miller said, scratching his face. “Currently, the employees of Fabian Percival plan to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot. They’re plotting to kill Elwood Thorneycroft mid-way to avoid offending Ivan Reed.”

Having said this, he disappeared from the wharf once again.

About half an hour later.

The sky had gradually darkened.

Winters already have short days, and with the New Year approaching, it had become difficult to see the surface of the sea after three in the afternoon.

Julius Reed sat alone on the wharf.

His feet dangled above the sea, lost in thought.

And behind him, several shadows quietly approached.

“You’ve come all this way, no need for sneaking around.”

Julius Reed picked up a pebble and started skipping it over the waves.

“You knew we were here?”

The men in black felt a touch of surprise.

They had followed all the way and then lay in wait concealed among the surrounding grass for several hours.

Had they still been discovered?

“I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon!”

Julius Reed stood up and stretched, “Hurry up and get it over with. I have business with you after the fight.”

“Boss, this kid is kind of spooky.”

A bald man looked at Julius Reed with a worried expression.

Before they had even started fighting, his heart was already in turmoil.

“He’s just bluffing.” The leader sneered, “Do you know Zhuge Liang’s Empty Fort Strategy? He’s just trying to scare us!”

“Then let’s get this over with quickly, so we can make a big score!”

The bald man licked his lips and suddenly swung his knife!

Whoosh!

The blade, shimmering with cold light, made a beeline for Julius Reed!

“You can go feed the fish now!”

Julius Reed suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the bald man’s arm with one hand, and fiercely threw him into the sea.

“Who’s in charge?”

He glanced over the five people in front of him and asked in a cold voice.

“Kid, you’ve got some moves.”

The leader stepped forward, holding a pair of iron-spiked maces, “But today, you’re definitely going to die here!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the spiked maces in his hands lashed out fiercely!

Clang!

Julius Reed leaped into the air!

The ground where he had just stood was cratered from the impact!

At the same time, the spiked maces changed direction and rushed at Julius Reed again!

“You’ve got some skills!”

Julius Reed watched all this from mid-air, his body rapidly descending back to the spot he had just leaped from.

The remaining four men drew their steel knives and ran at him, swinging wildly!

“Sorry, I’m in a hurry.”

Having said that, Julius Reed jumped up and smashed his hand onto the face of the first man!

Crack!

Neck broken!

His second palm struck out!

Whoosh!

The second man’s heart burst!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Julius Reed’s hands struck forward fiercely, the remaining two men also died on the spot.

“Now, it’s your turn!”

He caught the spiked maces with one hand and yanked them toward him fiercely!

Crack!

The sturdy chain was actually torn apart.

“You… you’re not human…”

Terror filled the leader’s eyes.

All his life he had been involved in the business of killing and plundering!

But he had never encountered such a twisted person before!

“I told you, I won’t kill you.”

Julius Reed walked up to the man, his hand outstretched, “Hand this USB drive to Darnell Lopez, and not only will he not blame you, he will reward you.”

“Why should I believe you?”

A hint of skepticism flashed in the man’s eyes.

“Because I can kill you, but I didn’t. Isn’t that enough?”

Julius Reed slowly rotated his hand, “If you don’t catch this, I’ll send you down to reunite with them.”

Having said this, he threw the USB drive onto the ground.

“Huh!”

As the USB drive fell through the air, the man quickly caught it.

“I hope you haven’t lied to me.”

He backed off a few steps, and once assured Julius Reed had no intention of killing him, he quickly vanished from West Harbor Wharf.

“Jennifer Lopez, today I’ll teach you what playing with fire can do to you!”

Watching the Shadow Warrior’s retreating figure, Julius Reed hummed a tune and returned to his car, quietly waiting for news from Fox Miller.

Tonight, there would be quite a show.
