Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 703: Chapter 703 Ambush_1

Night!

Twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month!

The entrance of the Five-lakes Clubhouse was lit up with colorful lights.

It was imbued with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Yet at this moment, the clubhouse seemed unusually deserted.

The guards that normally patrolled non-stop were suddenly reduced by fifty percent.

...

Only a few scattered individuals were left, wandering in the yard.

A group of shadows quietly infiltrated the surroundings of the Five-lakes Clubhouse, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

“What lousy weather!”

The guard rubbed his hands together and exhaled a breath of air.

It was obviously a bit cold.

“Everyone else is inside eating and drinking, while we watch the gate!”

Another sighed, “Damn it! The newcomers are no good. Back when we were with Aron Jackson, we got red envelopes during the holidays.”

“Stop talking! If Devlin’s people hear us, we might end up at the bottom of the river.”

“Sigh!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

No sooner had the two finished their conversation than they suddenly felt darkness before their eyes and fell to the ground.

“It seems Orren Beaumont has already passed the false information to Fabian Percival; there are a lot fewer guards in the yard,” Jaxston said, his face covered, speaking to his master, Marco Pendleton.

“Hearing that Sacha Reed is returning, Fabian Percival couldn’t wait to throw a celebration feast. Good, let’s follow the map Orren Beaumont gave us and head straight to Elwood Thorneycroft,” Marco Pendleton took a map out of his chest, studied it for a moment, and pointed inside, “Let’s go!”

Swish!

The five people moved with extremely light footsteps, vanishing instantly at the entrance.

After they had entered, another group appeared outside the gate.

“Brother Leocadia, when do we go in?”

“No rush! Mr. Thorneycroft has laid a net of heaven and earth inside; our brothers only need to wait for the signal and then rush in to block the gate!”

Rocco Leocadia took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, “I want to see just how capable the Marco Pendleton that makes the people of the capital tremble really is!”

“Brother Leocadia, why didn’t Fox join us this time?”

A staff member curiously asked.

Usually, Fox Miller and Rocco Leocadia worked hand in hand.

But today, it was only Rocco Leocadia leading the team; Fox Miller hadn’t shown up at all.

“Stay away from anyone surnamed Deng. Mr. Thorneycroft doesn’t trust him anymore! I fear he might lose his freedom once he returns to America,” with a hidden weapons box in one hand and a cigarette held by the other hand clad in a black glove.

If Fox Miller fell from power, being the only one of Fabian Percival’s four lieutenants in Gonzalez City,

He would become the ruler of a territory,

Or perhaps, take Aron Jackson’s place.

…

Marco Pendleton was unaware that someone was guarding the door, but he had some concerns since they were operating on someone else’s property.

Fortunately, it went smoothly.

Although they ran into a few patrol teams, they still easily made it to Elwood Thorneycroft’s door.

“Jaxston, pick the lock!”

Marco Pendleton gestured, and Jaxston immediately went to Elwood Thorneycroft’s door.

The Five-lakes Clubhouse was a commercial residence, all on the first floor.

Similar to the old courtyards of Beijing.

With standalone entries.

Click!

As the sound rang out, Jaxston extended his hand to give an ‘OK’ gesture.

“We have to be quick!”

Marco Pendleton nodded and pulled the door open.

Swish!

“You…”

Elwood Thorneycroft, sitting on the couch watching TV, had yet to react.

Caught off guard, Marco Pendleton held a knife at his neck.

“Make a sound, and you’re dead!”

Elwood Thorneycroft quickly nodded, raising his hands high, his eyes betraying panic.

“Where’s the item?”

Marco Pendleton asked with a stern voice.

“I’ve already given the item to Sacha Reed. Please don’t kill me—I assure you Fabian Percival knows nothing about it!”

Elwood Thorneycroft said frantically.

“What are you talking about?”

Marco Pendleton frowned; Elwood Thorneycroft’s answer was ludicrously off-topic.

But the next moment,

A sharp knife thrust out from Elwood Thorneycroft’s hand!

Clang!

Jaxston flicked his wrist, a dagger dropping from his sleeve!

After knocking the knife out of Elwood Thorneycroft’s hand, he was ready to kill!

To dare attempt murder on his own master?

He truly tired of living!

“No! We need him alive!”

Marco Pendleton quickly stopped Jaxston, “If she dies, it will be difficult to retrieve Sacha Reed’s item. Take the person with us first!”

“Alright!”

Jaxston hesitated for a moment before sliding the dagger back into his waistband.

Inside the control room.

Fabian Percival had quietly arranged for someone to install a hidden camera in Elwood Thorneycroft’s room while she was out at noon.

Seeing Jaxston draw his blade, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Go in immediately, kill everyone! And, make sure to protect Elwood Thorneycroft’s safety,” he ordered.

Since Ivan Reed dared to take such a big risk coming to the Five-lakes Clubhouse to take Elwood Thorneycroft’s life, it showed that the situation with the map was essentially not faked.

At the same time, he picked up the cell phone beside him: “Old guy, it’s your turn.”

“Wait for the good news.”

Devlin smirked coldly.

Meanwhile.

Marco Pendleton, completely unaware of the situation, was about to carry Elwood Thorneycroft off and head back to Azure Percival.

Whoosh!

It was at that moment that the door was kicked open.

“Put the person down!”

Rocco Leocadia, holding a darkly painted box of hidden weapons in his hand, pinched the end of a nearly burnt-out cigar.

“You’ve got some nerve, trying to kidnap someone from Five-lakes Clubhouse!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his men rushed in and surrounded Marco Pendleton and his companions.

“Master, it’s an ambush.”

Jaxston quietly moved his hands behind his back.

“When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the water rises, we build dams!”

In Marco Pendleton’s hands, two flying daggers appeared from nowhere!

Swish!

Throwing the darts, he rolled to Rocco Leocadia’s front!

Whoosh!

Rocco Leocadia opened the box of hidden weapons but failed to hit the target!

The very next moment!

The flying knives brushed past his body with barely an inch to spare!

“Protect the boss!”

One of the staff rushed forward, shielding Rocco Leocadia with his body!

Crack!

Marco Pendleton threw a punch!

He shattered the staff member’s chest with it!

“Kill them, damn it!”

Seeing his own staff member die horribly, Rocco Leocadia was filled with rage!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of sounds from the box of hidden weapons followed, as two of Marco Pendleton’s disciples were killed under the barrage of concealed weapons.

No matter how skilled in martial arts, one is still vulnerable to a cleaver!

“Master, get out of here!”

Jaxston pushed Marco Pendleton away, his short blade flashing continuously!

Every time he struck, someone would fall!

“You must survive to avenge us!”

Jaxston roared in anger, charging wildly at Rocco Leocadia’s staff.

He forcibly cleared a path!

Elwood Thorneycroft took advantage of the chaos to stab the person beside her and then collapsed on the sofa, pretending to be dead.

Crack!

Marco Pendleton turned his hands into palms, killing one person with each strike and carving out a bloody path!

“Ah!”

His eyes bloodshot, he fiercely grabbed the necks of two men in front of him and smashed their heads together!

Crack!

The two bodies fell limply to the ground, dead beyond any doubt.

When he looked back, Jaxston had already been struck by the box of hidden weapons in the shoulder.

“Hiss…”

Marco Pendleton took a sharp breath in, his whole being radiating with an immense killing intent!

“You old fool!”

Rocco Leocadia raised the box of hidden weapons and strode towards Marco Pendleton!

Whoosh!

The box of hidden weapons made a sound!

Marco Pendleton did not dodge!

The dart directly pierced his arm!

But in the next moment!

Marco Pendleton struck out with a palm!

Crack!

Half of Rocco Leocadia’s body!

Was violently shattered to pieces!

“Fabian Percival, if I, Marco Pendleton, don’t kill you, I swear I am not a man!”

With a leap, he bolted and fled from the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

At the entrance to Azure Percival.

Devlin, clad in a black trench coat, was holding a box of hidden weapons.

As bold as a lone warrior with his hidden weapons box!

He held a smoking pipe in his mouth, storming into the hotel alone!
