Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Immortality?_1

Ten minutes later, inside an alley in Gonzalez City.

“Master, that move was brilliant!”

Jerison Justin sat in the passenger seat, looking at Marco Pendleton beside him, gently peeling off his mask from his face.

Then, he revealed his true appearance!

“Jaxston, all the credit goes to Night Fairy. Without her, we couldn’t have made such lifelike masks.”

Marco Pendleton was sitting in the back seat, saying with a smile.

“Night Fairy truly is a master! It’s said that she comes from a mysterious organization. Master, have you heard of it?” Jaxston became interested the moment Night Fairy was mentioned.

At this moment, he had completed his mission first and sat in the car waiting for the other three disciples with his master.

“I’m not very clear about the rumors concerning Night Fairy either. But I do know she comes from a mysterious organization.”

Marco Pendleton’s face was full of admiration: “Night Fairy is also known as Thousand Faces Man, because every time we see her, she has a different face. No one knows which one is her real face.”

“Master, could it be that Night Fairy is actually a man?”

With a single sentence, Jaxston left Marco Pendleton stunned.

“You know, that really could be a possibility!”

The master and disciple laughed loudly inside the car.

Jaxston was Marco Pendleton’s most proud disciple and was highly valued on regular days.

When it was just the two of them, they got along very comfortably.

Just at that moment, a series of sparse footsteps was heard.

“Master, we succeeded!”

The remaining three disciples got into the car one by one, with the youngest naturally taking the driver’s seat.

“How did it all go?”

Marco Pendleton’s expression gradually calmed down.

“As you instructed, we left one alive, and that one badly injured!” The second disciple turned around to report, “I’ve taken down the Abernathy Family!”

“I killed the Deven Reed brothers!”

“Tony Smith has also fallen to my hands!”

The remaining three disciples recounted the results of their missions in turn.

“Good! Let’s head back to Azure Percival and wait to enjoy the show!” Marco Pendleton closed his eyes slightly, no longer speaking.

…

“Open up!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Have you all gone mad? It’s already eleven at night! Do you want to die?!”

“Hurry up and open the door! If you don’t, we’re going to break in!”

“Mr. Thorneycroft is already asleep! You all are seriously looking for trouble! Get lost now!”

“Even if Mr. Thorneycroft is asleep, we need to wake him up!”

At the entrance of the Five-lakes Clubhouse, a series of violent knocks on the door could be heard.

Nearly a hundred people had gathered outside, angry expressions on their faces, all of them shouting loudly.

Inside, Fabian Percival’s bodyguards were busy scolding them.

It was already past eleven at night, and Fabian Percival had long since gone to bed.

In the dead of the night, such a loud commotion was bound to disturb Fabian Percival.

And those responsible for guarding the door would certainly be in big trouble.

“Brother, what exactly do you want to do! Can’t it wait till tomorrow? Isn’t that okay?” The person responsible for security suddenly felt overwhelmed.

“No, it can’t! Open the door immediately! We have urgent matters, we must see Mr. Thorneycroft!”

The emotions outside the door were running high, and they started ramming the door!

“What’s going on!”

Just then, Fox Miller, dressed in his clothes, came out from inside.

“Mr. Miller, there are people outside making a fuss to see Mr. Thorneycroft!”

The head of the bodyguards at the door immediately went up to report.

Fox Miller was one of the Four Heavenly Kings among Fabian Percival’s staff; with him there, things were much easier to handle.

“What is the matter!”

Hearing the report, Fox Miller glanced at his watch: “It’s already eleven, and Mr. Thorneycroft has gone to bed!”

He was just about to sleep when he faintly heard a disturbance at the door, so he decided to come and see what was going on.

Who expected to encounter such a situation.

“Our boss has been killed!”

“Mine too!”

“Please, open the door and let us seek justice from Mr. Thorneycroft!”

The voice from outside the door was exceptionally angry.

“Slow down! Say that again!”

Fox Miller’s heart tensed up!

This was a big deal!

“Our boss, he’s been killed! Please, Mr. Thorneycroft, we ask for justice!”

Someone outside shouted loudly.

“You wait here, I’ll go call Mr. Thorneycroft right away!” Fox Miller turned around, but didn’t forget to instruct them sternly, “Wait quietly, I’ll be right back!”

This was no small matter, no matter whether Fabian Percival was asleep or not, he had to be woken up!

A string of bosses dead, how could this be allowed to continue?

“Devlin, are you sure this plan will work?”

Inside the most luxurious room of the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

Fabian Percival was not sleeping.

Instead, he sat at a coffee table, playing chess with a man in a black masked outfit.

“Of course! You’re well aware of my abilities, Devlin.”

The man in black picked up a black chess piece and gently placed it on the board, “I’ve won.”

On the chessboard, black won.

White lost.

“Ten years!”

Fabian Percival let out a sigh and said with a laugh, “For ten years, I’ve never beaten you! Couldn’t you let me win for once?”

“Sorry, I am a chess player after all, and beating you is quite easy for me.”

Devlin, facing Fabian Percival, showed none of the fear others had.

On the contrary, it was as if old friends were catching up with each other.

“What mission do you bring this time on your return?”

Devlin, his head covered in a black hood, only his eyes visible.

“The matter is more serious than imagined.”

Fabian Percival leaned in close to Devlin’s ear and whispered, “The master still seeks the secret to immortality and firmly believes that the art of everlasting life was once left in Gonzalez City.”

“Have you found anything?”

When Devlin heard this, his tone remained even.

“They didn’t find it back then, and we haven’t found it now either,” said Fabian Percival shaking his head, a self-mocking smile on his lips. “Maybe, there’s no such thing as the art of everlasting life in this world? Perhaps it’s just the master’s wishful thinking.”

“Wrong!”

Devlin spoke up calmly, “If there’s no art of everlasting life, how do you explain the Night Fairy living for three hundred years?”

“The Night Fairy…”

At the mention of this name, Fabian Percival’s brows knitted tightly together.

The Night Fairy had indeed lived for three hundred years, an uncontested fact!

But the reasons behind it were still unclear to them.

“Perhaps, the master also wants to extend the Night Fairy’s life,” he said with a heavy tone.

“Ten years, the Night Fairy can’t wait another ten years,” Devlin spoke with a trace of sadness in his voice. “If we don’t find the secret to immortality this time, the poison within our bodies will erupt fully.”

“Let’s hope the secret to immortality truly exists.”

Fabian Percival reclined on the couch, weary in both body and mind.

Immortality!

Who in this world doesn’t wish for immortality?

But does immortality truly exist?

At the very least, Fabian Percival thought it was nonsense!

“Mr. Thorneycroft!”

Just then, Fox Miller’s voice came from outside the door.

“I’ll go inside first.”

Devlin stood up and swiftly disappeared into the living room.

“Come in!”

Fabian Percival composed his emotions and said coldly, “What’s the matter so late at night?”

The room he occupied was in the very center of the Five-lakes Clubhouse, naturally unable to hear the noise outside.

“It seems there’s been a serious incident!”

Fox Miller pointed outside with a grave expression, “At the entrance of the Five-lakes Clubhouse, nearly a hundred people have gathered, claiming their boss has been murdered!”

“What!”

Fabian Percival shot to his feet, his eyes narrowing like an eagle’s, “Say that again!”
