Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 671: Chapter 671 Persuade you to put the gun down_1

“Who are you!”

Seeing a masked man in black stepping out from Fabian Percival’s bedroom, Orren Beaumont instinctively put his hand on the hidden weapon box.

It was a critical time.

They had to be extremely cautious.

This was the Five-lakes Clubhouse, Fabian Percival’s stronghold.

If a conflict arose here, no one would make it out alive.

...

“Kid, I advise you to put the hidden weapon box down,” Devlin said, dressed in a black trench coat and wearing black gloves.

Under the mask, it was impossible to discern any expression on his face.

But with just those words, he made everyone feel a terrifying chill in the room.

“Stop playing your ghost tricks!”

Orren Beaumont swallowed, pointing the mouth of the hidden weapon box directly at Devlin, “Take off your mask!”

There were many capable employees of Fabian Percival, and the idea of staging a coup here made him uneasy.

“What do you think this is?” Devlin slowly took out a poison egg from his pocket and asked with a smile, “Do you recognize it?”

“Are you fucking crazy!”

Orren Beaumont felt a chill run down his spine, leaving his mouth dry.

If the poison egg were detonated, most people in the room would be injured, or even killed.

“I told you to put the hidden weapon box down,” Devlin said, a hidden weapon box suddenly appearing in his other hand.

Whoosh!

“Ah…”

Orren Beaumont let out a scream as the hidden weapon box in his hand dropped to the floor.

Drip drop!

Then followed the sound of blood dripping on the ground.

“Put the hidden weapon box down, I’m only giving you ten seconds,” Devlin’s voice was still as emotionless as if it came from hell.

“Ten…”

“Nine…”

The people present weren’t there to deliver themselves to death.

Seeing Orren Beaumont being accurately hit in the wrist by the hidden weapon box, they exchanged glances before placing their hidden weapon boxes at their feet.

“Phew…”

Mr. Thorneycroft sighed in relief at this sight.

“What’s going on here!”

Hearing the noise of the hidden weapon boxes, Rocco Leocadia rushed in with his people.

“Fuck! Are you trying to rebel? Seize them!” He saw the hidden weapon boxes and the body on the ground, and his complexion changed drastically.

“Stand down!”

Mr. Thorneycroft shouted angrily, “Take your men and guard the outside!”

“Mr. Thorneycroft, these people…”

“I told you to stand down!” Mr. Thorneycroft pointed, and Rocco Leocadia prudently left.

For precaution, he had his men guard the periphery.

If there was trouble inside, they could provide support at any moment.

“Now, let’s sit down and talk this over calmly,” Mr. Thorneycroft stood up and looked at Orren Beaumont, who was trembling in pain, and waved his hand, “Fox Miller, have someone attend to him.”

“Yes!”

Fox Miller left and, in less than five minutes, brought back several doctors.

After a cursory treatment, Orren Beaumont, though still in excruciating pain, at least stopped bleeding.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, we didn’t mean to barge in today, but we want to ask if this supervisory department can be disbanded!” Orren Beaumont pointed at the body on the floor, “And we need an explanation for our boss’s death.”

“The man was not killed by Jerison Justin.”

Just then, Devlin stepped forward again, glanced at Jerison Justin lying almost beaten to death on the ground, and sighed.

“May I know who you are…”

Orren Beaumont felt a chill when he saw the man in black in front of him.

Especially at such close range, it intensified his fear.

“Devlin.”

When those four words were spoken, everyone instinctively backed away…

In their hearts, Devlin was a demon!

“Mr. Devlin, I know Jerison Justin is your man, but today, indeed, there are witnesses claiming it was them who killed my boss!”

Upon hearing that the man was Devlin, Orren Beaumont immediately trembled with fear.

The reputation of a person precedes them.

Sometimes, a name alone is enough to cow a group of people.

“Who can prove it?”

Devlin’s voice remained indifferent, betraying no hint of emotion.

Combined with his mysterious image and the terrifying legends about him,

the house was filled with an air of fear.

“The wood… the wood can prove it,” Orren Beaumont pointed at the stretcher with wood on it: “When Jerison Justin was leaving, a concealed weapon box hit the wood, but luckily it didn’t die!”

“And the stone!”

“Liam as well!”

“Jabari can testify too!”

The representatives of the four parties pointed angrily at the four injured men lying on stretchers.

“One by one, state the time when Jerison Justin committed the murder,” Devlin stood above the four and asked in a deep voice.

“Around… around nine-thirty in the evening…”

The wood strained to answer with all its might.

“Are you certain?”

“At that time… at that time I was drinking with the boss, I looked at the time when entering, it can’t be wrong…”

“Very well.”

After getting the answer, Devlin approached the other three and asked the same question.

“Nine twenty-five…”

“Nine thirty-seven…”

“Nine thirty…”

The three answered in turn, succeeding each other.

“How coincidental.”

The hands of Devlin, clad in black gloves, rubbed together gently before he turned to face Fabian Percival: “Mr. Thorneycroft, Jerison Justin only left your place at nine forty, right?”

“Should be thereabouts!”

Fabian Percival turned around and looked at Fox Miller: “Play the surveillance footage from the Five-lakes Clubhouse.”

“Hmm.”

Fox Miller walked over to the LCD TV, picked up the remote control, and directly called up the video from that time.

For security reasons, the entire surveillance footage of the Five-lakes Clubhouse could be viewed from Mr. Thorneycroft’s room.

Three minutes later, Fox Miller brought up the video from that time.

“Zoom in!”

After Mr. Thorneycroft spoke, the image immediately drew closer.

It was very clear on the screen.

Jerison Justin left the Five-lakes Clubhouse with his staff exactly at nine forty.

“How is that possible!”

Orren Beaumont exclaimed in disbelief.

“That really is quite the coincidence,” Devlin walked up to them and said coolly: “Jerison Justin came here at nine, and after our meeting ended, it was precisely nine forty.”

“So you’re saying that while Jerison Justin was here, he managed to take out all four of your bosses at the same time, and then returned here in a short amount of time to finish the meeting and leave?”

When he put it that way, everyone froze.

They were not fools.

The four dead bosses were very far apart; it was not possible to reach them all in a matter of minutes.

“Idiots!”

Whoosh!

Devlin suddenly kicked out forcefully, knocking Orren Beaumont to the ground.

“The people Jerison Justin killed were all specially approved by me! Without my order, he wouldn’t kill a single person without cause!”

“Then… then they saw wrong?”

Although Orren Beaumont felt a sharp pain in his chest, he still couldn’t understand what had happened.

It was impossible for all four employees to be mistaken at the same time.

“I’ve heard of people who specialize in disguise, so good that they could stand in front of you and you wouldn’t recognize me,” Devlin stood still, silent for five seconds.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, I will investigate immediately,” he said, his tone unusually tinted with a trace of anxiety.

“Good!”

Mr. Thorneycroft waved his hand and said to Orren Beaumont and the others: “All of you, go down. I do not wish for today’s events to happen again!”

“Thank you, Mr. Thorneycroft…”

Orren Beaumont picked himself up from the ground and hurriedly led the employees away.

“Boss, what exactly happened today?”

After leaving the Five-lakes Clubhouse, the employees followed behind Orren Beaumont, bombarding him with questions.

“How the hell would I know!”

Orren Beaumont was full of fury but had no idea how to vent it.

His wrist was throbbing with pain, and he intended to go to the hospital for treatment.

“Boss, there’s someone ahead.”

Just then, someone shouted, and everyone’s attention focused on the figure at the entrance of the alley ahead.
