Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Cooperation_1

If only I could.

Jennifer Lopez would never want to see that photo again in her life.

“Urgh~”

She abruptly turned around, pressing her hands against the wall, unable to stop herself from vomiting profusely.

Having already experienced the pain of losing a child, she was once again dealt such a blow, her spirit had somewhat collapsed.

Her pale face, written all over with sorrow and exhaustion.

“Give… a grand… funeral…”

Jennifer Lopez slumped weakly onto the sofa, her gaze hollow beyond measure.

“Should we…”

Shadow Warrior frowned, asking again, “Should we inform Master Warm?”

“Tell him,”

Jennifer Lopez waved her hand feebly and said, “I bear a large responsibility for this. Nathanael Warm should be informed.”

As she said this, her hands clasped tightly onto the leather of the sofa, her entire being somewhat collapsing.

“I still, after all, underestimated him!”

“Yes!”

Shadow Warrior turned away, making a strong effort to avoid the photo on the cellphone.

It was a photo that sent chills down his spine.

Larsen Warm, or rather, a skeleton.

Around the skeleton, chunks of flesh were scattered.

It was no less than a dismemberment.

Not just Jennifer Lopez, but even a Shadow Warrior like Shadow Warrior, who was accustomed to killing year-round, couldn’t help feeling nauseous at such a photo.

But he could only suppress his strong reaction as he stepped outside to inform Nathanael Warm.

Inside the room, Jennifer Lopez leaned against the sofa, staring at the ceiling, with no one knowing what she was thinking.

Her first day in Gonzalez City.

Her son was gone, and a Shadow Warrior by her side had been dismembered.

Even in the logistics park, she felt extremely unsafe.

Jennifer Lopez was somewhat regretful.

If she hadn’t come to Gonzalez City, if she had peacefully managed her business in the capital, might the outcome have been any better?

At the very least, Zane Percival wouldn’t have died a tragic death.

Larsen Warm and Georgia Warm would also still be alive and well.

“Huh!”

After taking a deep breath, Jennifer Lopez picked up her handbag, walking out the door with some weariness.

Her steps were heavy.

“Miss, where are you going?”

Shadow Warrior hurriedly asked.

“To find someone who can kill Julius Reed.”

Jennifer Lopez left behind those words and then left the logistics park.

Shadow Warrior hurriedly followed, fearing that his master might encounter another mishap.

…

At this moment at the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

It was exceptionally lively.

Although Fabian Percival had been injured, the injuries weren’t severe, and he was already able to come out to socialize.

More so, he wished to stabilize the morale of his troops.

Everyone in Gonzalez City who had betrayed Aron Jackson or had a grudge against him was in attendance.

Elwood Thorneycroft stood behind Fabian Percival, his expression cool as he watched the guests.

And Alonso Dragon, too, had been discharged from the hospital.

However, the box of hidden weapons from Julius Reed had left him completely crippled, or more accurately, turned him into a eunuch.

Alonso Dragon’s face was pale, and because of the injuries from the hidden weapon box, he could only sit in a wheelchair.

In his eyes, apart from hatred, there was nothing else.

“Mr. Thorneycroft,” Rebecca Brown stood up and was the first to speak, “that man Julius is too presumptuous, and it’s said that Aron Jackson even listens to him, is that true?”

This was the doubt in everyone’s minds.

In their view, Aron Jackson was the real boss here.

And Julius Reed was nothing more than a notorious good-for-nothing of Gonzalez City.

How could these two possibly be linked together?

“Indeed!”

Fabian Percival couldn’t help but frown upon hearing the name Julius Reed.

“I never would have imagined that I’d be taken down by such a minor character. But the truth is, he only succeeded because we weren’t prepared.”

“Right! Let’s find a chance to take this guy down!”

Some suggested an assassination, others wanted to go for a direct kill.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, someone is looking for you.”

Just then, Brown Bread quietly walked over to Fabian Percival’s side and whispered in his ear.

“Who?”

Fabian Percival narrowed his eyes, his tone was incredibly sharp.

Ever since Julius Reed sent that poisoned egg, he had become somewhat overly sensitive.

He saw danger in everything.

“The Lopez Family, Jennifer Lopez.”

Brown Bread spoke, “This person has a grudge against Julius Reed. According to what she said just now, her son was killed by Julius Reed a few hours ago, and her trusted aide was also murdered on Levi Mountain.”

“Gentlemen, I have a little matter to attend to, just a moment.”

Fabian Percival stood up directly, looking apologetically at the table full of people, “Elwood Thorneycroft, please entertain our guests for me. Meanwhile, discuss what we should do next.”

“Yes, Father.”

Elwood Thorneycroft nodded, watching as Fabian Percival left.

When Fabian Percival arrived at the Five-lakes Clubhouse reception room, a fatigued Jennifer Lopez was already sitting there.

Being able to get this far, there had already been a strict security check at the door ensuring Jennifer Lopez had no dangerous items on her.

And Brown Bread, also did not leave Fabian Percival’s side, ensuring the safety of the elder.

“Miss Lopez.”

Fabian Percival sat across from Jennifer Lopez with a smile, crossed his legs and said, “Your family from the capital, the Lopez Family, is also a distinguished household. Don’t you have the power to kill a mere nobody?”

The Lopez Family, he had certainly heard of them.

They wielded great influence in the capital, considered nobility.

There were only four major families that could suppress them.

“Elder Mr. Thorneycroft, are you questioning me?” Jennifer Lopez’s tone was sharp.

Despite the huge blow to her spirits, this woman, who had dominated the business world for so many years, now had her aura burst forth completely.

“Oh! No, I didn’t mean that.”

Fabian Percival was startled by the sudden change in Jennifer Lopez’s attitude and quickly waved his hands, “I think Miss Lopez may have misunderstood.”

“Do you think I would joke about my son’s death?”

Jennifer Lopez scoffed coldly, “If Mr. Thorneycroft does not trust me, then pretend I was never here!”

With that, she stood up, ready to leave.

“Miss Lopez!”

Fabian Percival’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly stood up from his chair, hastening over to Jennifer Lopez.

He said apologetically, “I am extremely sorry! My daughter is in prison, my trusted aide has died tragically, and a few days ago I almost lost my life to a bomb planted by Julius Reed. It’s only natural that I’m a bit tense.”

“Miss Lopez, could you please sit down so we can discuss this in detail?”

As he finished speaking, he turned to Brown Bread, “Go, serve Miss Lopez some tea!”

“Yes, Mr. Thorneycroft!”

Brown Bread glanced around and then left the reception room.

“Now, it’s just the two of us. Miss Lopez, please speak freely.”

Fabian Percival made a welcoming gesture, and Jennifer Lopez then sat back down.

Brown Bread leaving was a signal of Fabian Percival’s sincerity.

It showed he had no further guard against Jennifer Lopez.

“Although I’m a member of the capital’s Lopez family, I have no reason, nor the ability, to mobilize the entire Lopez Family.”

Jennifer Lopez spoke with a touch of helplessness, “I’m just a woman, and while I do have considerable resources at my command, Gonzalez City is not my territory. There are some things that I find incredibly difficult to accomplish.”

In the capital, she could easily crush Julius Reed.

But this was Gonzalez City.

Aron Jackson alone made her feel helpless, not to mention Itai Huntington supporting him from the side.

“And you, your current influence in Gonzalez City is even greater than Aron Jackson’s. I’ll provide funds and manpower, and together, we’ll kill Julius Reed. How about that?”

If Jennifer Lopez had any other option, she certainly would not have sought cooperation.

There was another more important reason.

In Gonzalez City, only Fabian Percival’s place could guarantee her safety.

“If that’s the case, then I look forward to us working together happily.”

Fabian Percival inside knew very well what the situation was.

The Lopez Family from the capital was a big backer he wouldn’t want to miss out on.

“How about this, Miss Lopez, you stay at my Five-lakes Clubhouse for a while. After Julius Reed is dealt with, you can leave?”

“Thank you.”

Jennifer Lopez stood up and gave Fabian Percival a slight nod.
