Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 667: Chapter 667: The Toxic USB Drive_1

The day the ironclad appeared, Julius Reed knew there was collusion between Fabian Percival and the people of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

He just didn’t know who this person was.

Afterward.

Various signs indicated that Stacy Cook had come to Gonzalez City to carry out a mission.

The hairpin in his hand was enough to prove this!

Julius had seen the hairpin before.

...

He had seen it on his personal maid, Isabella Warm.

Each of the four maids had their preferences, and Isabella Warm had a unique love for jewelry.

Every time he obtained precious jewelry, Julius would reward it to Isabella Warm.

But he didn’t know how Isabella Warm had come by this particular hairpin.

Yet, seven days after Julius had seen the hairpin, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance encountered a formidable enemy!

And when Julius was at the pinnacle of the snowy mountain for the decisive battle, he was confronted with employee betrayal!

He could not help but suspect that Isabella Warm had a hand in it.

At least, there were very few who could poison him without his guard up.

And the fact that Ivan Reed possessed this hairpin was curious in itself.

But now that Stacy Cook was dead, he had no way of uncovering the truth.

Therefore, the only option was to let these two powers clash against each other to see how the person behind the scenes would react.

“To take down Fabian Percival, I can do it.”

Aron Jackson let out a sigh, “Boss, do you no longer trust me?”

Having gone through Dominating Tiger’s betrayal, Aron Jackson always felt that he had let Julius Reed down.

“What are you thinking about?”

Julius patted his shoulder, “I would never send a brother into danger. Just hold down the fort in Gonzalez City for me, you’ll be busy when the time comes!”

Having said that, he walked past and left the Bronze Sparrow Platform.

If he didn’t return home soon, his wife would start to worry.

“Honey, what’s for dinner tonight?”

Before getting into the car, he sent a message.

Five seconds later.

“Stir-fried leeks with eggs.”

Looking at the name of the dish, Julius Reed vaguely felt that something wasn’t right.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

…

“Trash! A bunch of trash!”

Crack!

Ivan Reed smashed the crystal dining table in front of him, worth tens of thousands!

“Master, we have been investigating but found no news!”

Several bodyguards kneeled in front of Ivan Reed, speaking fearfully.

The floor was covered with shattered glass.

In just ten minutes, Ivan Reed had almost demolished the room!

“Master, Jaxston wants to see you.”

At that moment, the door to the Azure Percival Emperor’s Hall was slowly pushed open.

“Let him come in!”

Ivan Reed kicked the bodyguard in front of him, sending him sprawling, then sat down on the sofa.

“Master!”

Jaxston, covered in wounds, approached and knelt down lightly in front of Ivan Reed.

“What happened!”

Ivan tried to restrain himself, but still couldn’t help lashing out.

“While leaving, young master Luciano Michael made contact with Fabian Percival’s employee Brown Bread. We took out over fifty people lying in ambush for Fabian Percival on the highway.”

As Jaxston spoke, he took a deep breath: “Later, Brown Bread suggested that the young master collect all the cellphones. On our way back, we were blocked by cement pillars on the road and couldn’t contact anyone.”

“Fools! Where are the people!”

Ivan Reed clenched the Buddha Beads in his hands tightly, his face full of rage.

Compared to his previous calm and collected demeanor, he seemed like a completely different person!

“We were ambushed on the road by a team of people! After a bloody battle with my three brothers, I barely managed to escape.”

As he said this, Jaxston tore open his clothes!

His body was covered with wounds!

“Luciano Michael!”

Ivan Reed closed his eyes, took a deep breath, “Luciano, why are you so foolish! It was clear that Fabian Percival was setting a trap for you!”

By the end, he was grinding his teeth!

“We need evidence.”

Marco Pendleton murmured, “Otherwise, Fabian Percival won’t admit to it.”

“Evidence! Do I, Ivan Reed, need evidence to kill someone!”

Ivan Reed wasn’t angry because of Luciano’s disappearance!

Luciano was just an adopted son, after all.

One Luciano Michael dies, and countless more will rise!

But if Elwood Thorneycroft were to disappear, where would Stacy Cook find the lost token?

If that object can’t be found, he’ll have no grave to be buried in when he dies!

Outsiders think that Ivan Reed is renowned in the capital.

But in reality, he’s nothing more than a tool put out on display!

“Alive, I want to see the person, dead, I want to see the body!”

Ivan Reed pointed at the several foster sons at the door, “Search! Search for me! Even if you have to turn Gonzalez City upside down, I want clear answers! Go now!”

“Yes! Father!”

They exchanged glances and swiftly turned to leave.

Half a minute later, one of them came back in a panic.

“Squid, can’t you hear what I said?”

Seeing his foster son named Squid return, he was somewhat displeased.

“Father!”

Squid cautiously approached Ivan Reed, handing over a USB drive with both hands.

“This was received at the front desk by the boss of Azure Percival, Ludo Cook,” Squid said with a deep bow. “Please have a look, Father! It’s addressed to you.”

“For me?”

Ivan Reed’s pupils shrank abruptly, and he rose from the couch in an instant.

“Look, what is this thing!”

“Yes!”

Squid picked up the USB drive and walked over to the computer, gently inserting it.

Shortly after, a video clip appeared on the large screen.

“Swoosh!”

The sound of a hidden weapon’s box ringing out.

“Luciano Michael?”

On the screen, Luciano Michael was being pointed at with a hidden weapon’s box by a man.

Afterward, the man fell to the ground from the hidden weapon’s box.

The man kicked Luciano Michael’s corpse before leaving.

“Who is this!”

Ivan Reed clenched the Buddha Beads in his hands tightly, the muscles on his face twitching uncontrollably.

Someone dared to kill his foster son!

And even dared to send the video over!

“Ah…”

Just then, Squid collapsed onto the ground in agony.

“Squid, what’s wrong with you?”

Ivan Reed quickly walked over, bending down to check on him.

“Hold on!”

Marco Pendleton’s right hand shot out, grabbing Ivan Reed’s shoulder, and forcibly pulled him up!

“Sacha Reed, it’s poisoned!”

“What! On the USB drive?”

Ivan Reed stepped back in shock.

On the ground, Squid screamed a few painful cries, his complexion already pitch black.

“Deadly poison! Touch it and you die!”

Marco Pendleton took a deep breath and waved his hand, “Take him out, and don’t touch him at all costs!”

Several bodyguards put on gloves and carefully dragged Squid out.

“This is too much…”

Ivan Reed sat in the chair, his heart still racing.

If he had touched the USB drive just moments ago, he would probably have been poisoned to death!

“Brown Bread?”

Just then, Jaxston, who had heard the news, rushed into the room and immediately saw the image on the screen.

“You know him?”

Marco Pendleton looked at his senior disciple and said, “Do you know this person?”

“Fabian Percival’s personal bodyguard, Brown Bread!”

Jaxston pointed at Brown Bread on the screen, “It’s him, sitting in the same car as Luciano Michael and Miss Elwood Thorneycroft!”

“Well played, Fabian Percival! To think you dared to play such a scheme on me!”

Ivan Reed gently stroked his bald head, a cold smile appearing on his lips, “Since that’s the case, I ought to send you a gift as well!”

“Marco Pendleton!”

“Your subordinate is here!”

Marco Pendleton, dressed in a long robe, stood out.

“Eliminate a few of Fabian Percival’s confidants for me! I want to see if he fears death!”

Killing intent filled Ivan Reed’s eyes.

“As you command!”

Marco Pendleton turned and strode out of the imperial hall.
