Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Going Home for the New Year_1

New Year’s Eve.

All over the vast land of China, festivity abounded.

Early in the morning, Julius Reed was woken up by Quella Radcliffe.

After getting up and washing up, he drove toward the residence of Knox Ridge and Burl Radcliffe.

Against her usual demeanor after losing her son, Darnell Ridge, along with Damien Leopold, persuaded the Old Master to let Knox Ridge’s family return home for the New Year’s celebration.

Knox Ridge, who had lost all hope, was so excited upon hearing the news that she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

This time, she even bought loads of gifts in advance, planning to visit relatives and mend relationships.

To ease tensions.

Due to the matter of debt collection by Julius Reed before, their spines had not been spared from the prods of relatives.

But this time.

Quella Radcliffe didn’t want to be too flashy, so the family of four took the Passat owned by Burl Radcliffe.

This decision displeased Knox Ridge greatly.

They had a Rolls-Royce and yet they drove a Passat?

Her vanity was through the roof; she had anticipated showing off with Julius Reed’s luxury car.

But ever since witnessing Julius Reed’s lethal ways in the wild mountains, Knox Ridge dared not show off any longer.

Even her speech was cautious.

Fearful of offending her son-in-law.

Therefore.

When she heard that Quella Radcliffe didn’t plan to drive, Knox Ridge only dared to complain a bit.

This year was unlike any other for the Ridge Family.

It was said that Quandarius Ridge’s boyfriend was an ultra-rich second generation, coming home to meet the parents today.

Dozens of members of the Ridge Family, all returned to Moon City to celebrate the New Year.

Even Bryson Ridge, who was in America, returned early with her son Lewis Leocadia.

Moon City was more than two hundred kilometers from Gonzalez City.

Not particularly close, yet not far either.

Initially, Julius Reed thought they could drive in the evening and reach Moon City in just over three hours.

But Knox Ridge disagreed.

As for the reason…

Only after Quella Radcliffe finished explaining did Julius Reed understand what it was about.

It turned out that the toll-free period on the highways started on New Year’s Eve.

The entire highway journey from Gonzalez City to Moon City would cost about one hundred yuan…

Fortunately, it was Burl Radcliffe driving, with Julius Reed and Quella Radcliffe sitting at the back, quite content and relaxed.

Knox Ridge sat in the passenger seat, navigating on her phone, her heart thrilling with excitement!

Ever since she married into Gonzalez City, she had to attend the Radcliffe Family’s annual New Year’s gathering every year.

She never had the chance to return home.

By the time they went back to Moon City to visit, everyone from the family had already dispersed to their respective homes.

This had always been Knox Ridge’s wish.

To be able to spend a New Year at her maternal home.

This year, Old Master Radcliffe was nowhere to be found, and the Radcliffe Family had become fragmented.

It presented her with the best opportunity to return home for the New Year.

However, back in Gonzalez City, Julius Reed once had a conflict with Bryson Ridge’s son, Lewis Leocadia.

Not only did he expose Lewis Leocadia’s counterfeit goods in public, but he also caused Lewis Leocadia to be beaten up.

Following Cooper Ridge’s tragic death, Knox Ridge abandoned the idea of returning home for the New Year.

But to her surprise.

Bryson Ridge and Darnell Ridge even helped her persuade those relatives and the Old Master.

They convinced the Old Master, who had a significant grievance with Knox Ridge, to allow his daughter to come home for the New Year’s celebration.

An unexpected joy.

However…

Although Julius Reed had not yet arrived in Moon City, he could already sense the smell of gunpowder.

It seemed.

This New Year’s.

Was destined to be anything but peaceful.

“During the New Year’s celebration, no matter what others say about us, you have to endure it,” Quella Radcliffe sighed and cautioned, “Try not to be impulsive.”

It appeared she had also thought of something.

Given the vengeful nature of the Ridge Family, coupled with their aberrant attitude now.

It was bound to be a setup.

“It will depend on the situation.”

Julius Reed took out his phone, started sending a message, and said, “You know I have a bad temper. If nobody bothers me, that’s fine, but if someone really seeks discomfort, I don’t mind giving them a memorable New Year.”

Forbearance?

That was out of the question.

Having lived tens of thousands of years, I never knew what it meant to yield.

In this world, all matters are settled with a single sword strike.

Only Quella Radcliffe could make Julius Reed suppress the flames of anger in his heart.

Otherwise—

Knox Ridge’s grave’s grass might already be half a meter tall by now.

The reason it hasn’t reached a meter is that when it grew to half a meter, it had already been dug up by the people of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

A dignified Saint Lord.

Those who insult must die.

Three hours quickly passed.

Although the highway was toll-free, many people were returning home for the New Year, and there was still a long line at the toll gate.

“I have a friend here, I will meet up with you later,” Julius Reed said to Quella Radcliffe before pulling down the car door and walking toward the highway exit.

“Just send me your location.”

He instructed.

“Be quick, there’s lunch waiting.”

Although Quella Radcliffe didn’t know where Julius Reed was going, she trusted that her husband had his reasons for what he was doing.

“Okay!”

Julius Reed turned around and walked out of the toll gate.

“Such lack of manners!”

Knox Ridge dared to mutter only after he had walked far away.

As soon as Julius Reed left the toll station, a man who had been standing outside smoking hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette butt and jogged over to him.

“Brother Davenport.”

The man quickly offered a cigarette.

“I don’t smoke.”

Julius Reed shook his head.

“Brother Davenport, what plans do you have this time?”

The man pocketed the cigarette, asking subserviently as he nodded and bowed.

He was Aron Jackson’s cousin and was currently in Moon City.

The largest building materials businessman in the city, owner of several companies, a large hotel, and an entertainment complex.

Having heard that Julius Reed was coming to Moon City, Aron Jackson immediately introduced his cousin to him.

“Nothing much. I wanted to meet you this time because I’m worried some people might not know their place.” Julius Reed spoke indifferently, “You know, I prefer not to take action myself. After all, handling everything personally doesn’t look good, right?”

“Understood!”

Brexton Jackson nodded, patting his chest, “In Moon City, I am the knife in your hand, boss! You tell me whom to cut, and I will cut them!”

“You’re enlightened.”

Julius Reed nodded in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon will not crush a local snake.

If the Ridge Family were truly planning something, Brexton Jackson was the best candidate to handle the trouble.

“Boss, where are you heading? Let me drive you there.”

Brexton Jackson gestured, and a nearby Infiniti immediately drove up.

“Although I am wealthy, Moon City is not like Gonzalez City. Aron Jackson has always asked me to keep a low profile… Will you cope with that?”

Aron Jackson had strict requirements for his employees, and even stricter for his relatives.

Brexton Jackson arrived in Moon City two years ago and established himself using the reputation of his boss.

In those two years, he has been steady and has amassed quite an enterprise.

But there was one rule.

Aron Jackson had repeatedly warned Brexton Jackson not to be too conspicuous.

He even provided Brexton Jackson with a list.

The car must not cost more than 1.5 million, the watch must not exceed 100,000.

No living in villas, no mistresses.

Over the past two years, although Brexton Jackson had saved quite a bit of money, with his boss breathing down his neck, he didn’t dare to spend it rashly.

“Could you speak to my boss about it? I’ve saved up quite a pile, it’s almost getting moldy…”

“Listen to your boss,” Julius Reed said, looking at Brexton Jackson, “Aron Jackson is cautious in his actions, yet he still faced many dangers in Gonzalez City. Being too high-profile will attract trouble to you!”

“Alright!”

Though Brexton Jackson was reluctant, he knew that he had to heed the words of the youth before him.

This was something Aron Jackson had emphasized many times.

“Boss, I’ll be stepping out for a bit.”

As the two talked, a woman with a ponytail came over, “Someone messed with my employee; I’m going out to settle it for them today!”

“Go on,” Brexton Jackson pointed at Julius Reed, “Remember this, in Moon City, you don’t have to listen to me, but you must listen to Brother Davenport!”

“Got it!”

The woman bowed slightly to Julius Reed, “Brother Davenport, I’m busy with something. When I return, I’ll treat you to some skewers!”

With that, she ran off in a hurry.
