Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Middle-Aged Widower_1
“Zane Percival…”
In Gonzalez City, at the logistics park.
Jennifer Lopez knelt in front of the dressing table, her freshly applied makeup completely ruined.
Her gaze was dull, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Over the years, she had painstakingly laid the groundwork, establishing connections in the capital.
It was all to bring Zane Percival back to the Lopez Family to inherit the family business!
But now, all her efforts had gone down the drain.
“Julius Reed! I will kill you! I must…”
She clenched her fists in pain, burying her face at the dressing table, her eyes brimming with venom.
“Shadow Warrior!”
“Miss.”
Shadow Warrior, standing outside the door, came in and asked, “What are your orders?”
“That woman, have you caught her?”
Jennifer Lopez took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, “I want him to taste the pain of losing a loved one!”
“The woman has been captured. Larsen Warm is leading the team, waiting for Julius Reed on Levi Mountain behind Gonzalez City.”
Shadow Warrior replied quietly.
“Tell Larsen Warm to kill that woman!”
Jennifer Lopez nearly screeched.
If Julius Reed had caused her to send off her loved one prematurely, then she was determined to make him endure the agony of losing his beloved!
“Miss, if that woman dies, Julius Reed he…”
“Did you not hear what I said?”
Jennifer Lopez suddenly stood up, staring intensely at Shadow Warrior: “Don’t make me repeat myself!”
“Yes, Miss!”
Shadow Warrior trembled with fear, quickly turned around, and left the room.
“Larsen Warm, the miss commands you to kill that woman!”
He pulled out his phone and immediately called Larsen Warm.
Having followed Jennifer Lopez for more than a decade, Shadow Warrior had never seen her so enraged.
“Understood!”
Larsen Warm hung up the phone and, with his sword in hand, approached Quella Radcliffe.
“Someone wants me to kill you.”
He squatted down, looking into Quella Radcliffe’s eyes: “So, I’m sorry.”
“Just kill me, my husband won’t let you get away with this!”
Quella Radcliffe, although tied to a tree, showed no fear.
In her eyes, there was a spirit of resignation to her fate.
“But before that, I’ll give your husband a call.”
Larsen Warm sighed, took out a phone from Quella Radcliffe’s body, and shook his head reluctantly: “What a hassle! If Zane Percival had succeeded, I could have killed you with one stroke of my sword and left without having to go through all this trouble.”
After speaking, he took hold of Quella Radcliffe’s hand, unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, and initiated a video call to Julius Reed.
“Honey, you… ”
Julius Reed on the plane was about to speak but realized that the person shown on Quella Radcliffe’s phone was a man.
“Aron Jackson! Where’s my wife!”
He turned fiercely, grabbing Aron Jackson’s collar.
“Boss, your wife is in my office!”
Aron Jackson quickly pulled out his phone and called his staff: “What! Say that again!”
After hanging up the phone, his face turned ashen.
“The people at Copper Sparrow Platform are all dead! Sister-in-law… Her whereabouts are unknown!”
“You…”
Julius Reed took a deep breath and turned back to the video, facing Larsen Warm: “Where is my wife.”
“Are you the legendary Julius Reed?”
Larsen Warm chuckled coldly, shaking his head: “I thought you’d be someone remarkable, but you’re just a pretty boy! My junior brother died by your hand, what a disgrace!”
“I’m asking one last time, where’s my wife.”
Julius Reed’s voice was exceptionally cold.
Quella Radcliffe was his Achilles’ heel.
No matter who touched her, the consequence could only be one thing!
Death!
“Your wife is in my hands,” Larsen Warm turned the video toward Quella Radcliffe, his sword slowly resting on Quella’s neck, “Now, come here. Otherwise, she will become a corpse.”
“You dare!”
Julius Reed took a deep breath, quickly calming himself down.
“I demand a continuous video, ensuring my wife’s safety. Otherwise, I’m not coming over!”
With a smirk, he added, “If you really want to kill her, it’s no loss to me. Itai Huntington of Gonzalez City has long been wanting to take over, you must be aware of that, right?”
“You… are you mocking me? If you truly don’t care, I’ll kill her right now!”
A hint of a smile crossed Larsen Warm’s lips.
In his eyes, Julius Reed’s actions were nothing but an act of mercy for his own employee.
He wouldn’t give him that pleasure.
“Huntington? Get ready to take over. My wife has been kidnapped and is currently of unknown fate, most likely not going to survive.”
Just as Larsen Warm was about to make a move, he found Julius Reed nonchalantly crossing his legs and making a call.
“Julius Reed, have you lost your mind?”
Itai Huntington was startled upon receiving such a call.
“It’s true! A Shadow Warrior is holding my wife hostage and is on a video call with me,” Julius Reed said casually, “As her man, I will of course go to save her, but whether I can actually save her is anyone’s guess. If Quella dies, you will be the successor.”
As he spoke, Larsen Warm stared intently at the screen, pressing the sword slightly closer to Quella’s neck.
Soon, a tiny streak of blood appeared on Quella’s fair skin.
Larsen Warm’s eyes stayed fixed on Julius Reed, hoping to see concern, anxiety, or panic on his face.
However, after seeing this unfold, Julius Reed burst out laughing, “Huntington, do you know! Your chances of taking over just increased significantly, that guy…”
He laughed uncontrollably, “That guy actually made a move, and I guess in a few minutes, you won’t have to sneak around behind my back anymore.”
“Fine, if Quella dies, tell me immediately. I’ll come straight to you, and we’ll get married on the spot! From then on, we’ll live together, and I’ll even bear you a nice fat son.”
Over the speakerphone, Itai Huntington’s voice sounded very excited.
“Right, if I’m the successor, should I personally collect her body?”
“Sure, you can collect her body. It will be at Levi Mountain, behind Gonzalez City.” As he said this, Julius Reed turned to Aron Jackson, “Brother, mourning can be auspicious. Losing a wife in middle age can be a good thing, huh!”
“Deal! If you get married, I’ll arrange it for you!”
Aron Jackson was puzzled but still responded cheerfully.
His boss must have had his reasons for acting this way.
“Kid! Do you want your wife or not!”
Larsen Warm was getting angry, his hand holding the sword beginning to tremble.
Killing this woman made no difference to him!
But Julius Reed had to die!
He had to avenge Georgia Warm!
Seeing Julius Reed not very concerned about this woman, he actually felt a bit of panic inside.
“Let’s do this. Either way, she’s my wife.” After hanging up the phone with Itai Huntington, Julius Reed scratched his head and said, “If I don’t save her, it will be hard to justify. But on the condition that she must be lively and unharmed before I get there, or I will leave immediately!”
“Fine! I’ll spare her life for now! Give you half an hour’s time, come alone!”
Larsen Warm snorted coldly, “I have my people on Levi Mountain. If you dare to bring anyone, she will suffer a miserable death!”
“Okay!” Julius Reed handed his phone to Aron Jackson, “Keep an eye on this for me, if he lays a finger on your sister-in-law, call me immediately!”
After saying this, he took Aron Jackson’s phone and leaped straight from the helicopter!
The moment he left the chopper.
Julius Reed’s face instantly turned exceptionally grim.
The Dragon King Ring on his hand emitted an extremely dazzling red light.
At the same time.
In Gonzalez City, at Five-state International.
“Send someone to Levi Mountain immediately! Get there as fast as possible!”
Itai Huntington stood up from her chair, pointing at Diamond, “Deploy our strongest forces, we must rescue Quella Radcliffe!”
“Miss, don’t you like Julius Reed? Why would you still want to help him? If Quella dies…”
“If she dies!”
Itai Huntington took a deep breath, “I would never have a chance in this lifetime.”
