Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Bait_1

“Stop right there!”

As Orren Beaumont was about to get in the car, someone suddenly called out to him.

“Jarvis Davenport?”

He turned around, drenched in cold sweat!

Just ten minutes ago, he had confronted this woman face to face.

“Little sister, if you have something to say, wait until I get home to talk.”

Orren Beaumont hurried into the car, trying to leave.

But Jarvis Davenport’s hand clung desperately to the car door, not giving him a chance.

“Sis, stop it. I have a mission to carry out.”

After saying that, he took out a wad of cash from his pocket and stuffed it into Jarvis Davenport’s hand, “Take this to spend for now; I’ll be back soon.”

“You’re not my brother.”

Jarvis Davenport looked at him coldly.

“Gulp.”

Orren Beaumont swallowed hard, his head slick with cold sweat.

“What are you joking about? We just confronted each other.” He forced a laugh, “Sis, I really have urgent business, let’s not fuss about this now.”

“You killed my brother.”

Jarvis Davenport’s tone was still devoid of any emotion.

“Stop messing around…”

Orren Beaumont was in turmoil.

“Why didn’t you kill me yesterday? And why did you leave fifty thousand dollars on my head?”

Jarvis Davenport stared intensely into Orren Beaumont’s eyes, as if trying to read his mind.

“You know?”

Orren Beaumont’s pupils shrank in an instant.

He had found Jarvis Davenport’s home in the county with the intention to kill her and erase all traces. But at the last moment, he hadn’t gone through with it.

And when leaving, he had left fifty thousand dollars.

“After all, you killed my brother, I needed someone to take care of me.” Jarvis Davenport bent down, whispering in Orren Beaumont’s ear, “Actually, I’ve never known what my mother looked like, my brother’s first woman was neighbor Uncle Wang’s daughter.”

“Then you…”

Orren Beaumont’s face was a picture of shock: “Then just now…”

“Someone offered me ten million to lie for you.”

Whoosh!

Jarvis Davenport shut the car door and turned to walk away swiftly.

Leaving only Orren Beaumont in the car, shivering from the cold.

His hands gripping the steering wheel were already soaked with sweat.

Thinking back now, if just then…

Orren Beaumont didn’t dare to ponder.

And some three hundred meters away from them,

Julius Reed and Aron Jackson were standing at a street corner, watching the two part ways.

“If it were me, I definitely would have killed Orren Beaumont.”

Aron Jackson held a cigarette in one hand and the other hand in his pocket, “Such an important mission, yet he let his emotions get in the way. If he had truly failed, it wouldn’t matter if he died, but he could have caused us all to be thrown in, our efforts wasted.”

“Isn’t life all about having feelings?”

Julius Reed smiled and shook his head, “He’s not a killing machine.”

“To think the Boss himself had to clean up his mess, Orren Beaumont really outdid himself.”

Aron Jackson took a drag on his cigarette, silently blowing out a ring of smoke.

“Anyone can operate a machine, but what about people’s hearts?”

Julius Reed patted his chest, “In this life, Orren Beaumont will never betray you. I need to accompany my wife on a visit to her family home, so keep a close eye on things here.”

“Not spending the New Year in Gonzalez City?”

A look of disappointment flashed in Aron Jackson’s eyes, “I was thinking… about mooching a meal at your place.”

He quenched the cigarette butt, flicking it into a nearby trash can.

“If there’s nothing urgent in Gonzalez City, you could go and show your support for me.” Julius Reed chuckled lightly, “Before I leave, I’ll take care of Fabian Percival for you.”

“Assassination?”

Aron Jackson’s voice tensed up suddenly.

Fabian Percival was no average person.

With the backing of the Roosevelt family, and recently, there were rumors that bosses from Five-river Province were going to pay him a visit!

And Fabian Percival planned to hold a grand banquet on the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year’s Eve.

At that time,

all the bosses from Five-river Province would come to attend.

Recently, Fabian Percival has been keeping his doors shut, could it be that my boss intends to storm the Five-lakes Clubhouse?

Under broad daylight, wouldn’t the impact be too dreadful?

“Kill him? Why would I need to do it myself?”

Julius Reed looked at Aron Jackson with contempt, “If I want him dead by the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, could he live until New Year’s Eve?”

“Should I prepare a fine coffin, then?”

Aron Jackson immediately became interested.

He knew all too well the capabilities of his boss.

“Don’t be stingy with money.”

Julius Reed looked up at the sun and sighed deeply, “After all, Fabian Percival was a man of dignity while he was alive.”

…

“Father, I’m a bit worried.”

Inside the Five-lakes Clubhouse, Elwood Thorneycroft pushed open Fabian Percival’s room door, her face filled with fear.

“Sit.”

A look of surprise flashed across Fabian Percival’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“Not really…”

Elwood Thorneycroft shook her head and gently pressed her head, “I have a terrible headache and feel weak. I think I might have caught a cold.”

“That must be it.”

Fabian Percival watched Elwood Thorneycroft with a grin.

A cold?

In a day, Elwood Thorneycroft will even struggle to move!

This poison may not kill someone outright, but it can ruin one’s muscle tissue.

In the end, almost a cripple!

Even possibly dying in agony because they cannot breathe!

“You just said you had something to discuss, what is it?”

Fabian Percival put away his triumphant expression and feigned concern, “Your complexion doesn’t look too good.”

“Ivan Reed might come to kill me!”

Elwood Thorneycroft raised her head, speaking very seriously.

“Once he knows I’m with you, he’ll definitely realize I would tell you this secret. Although I don’t believe in the possibility of immortality, such explosive information would be enough for him to want to silence me permanently!”

“What you said makes sense.”

Fabian Percival leaned back in his couch, his eyes darting around.

This is indeed a good opportunity to verify whether Elwood Thorneycroft is lying or not.

“Daughter, you need your father’s complete protection.”

Elwood Thorneycroft knelt on the ground, her eyes brimming with pleading, “Ivan Reed won’t let me go.”

At that moment, Fabian Percival’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller, he stood up and walked to the window.

“Okay, I got it.”

A minute later, after hanging up, Fabian Percival helped Elwood Thorneycroft up from the ground, “After the New Year’s feast tomorrow, I will take you back to the Americas for the New Year. There, even Ivan Reed won’t be able to touch you.”

“Thank you, Father!”

Elwood Thorneycroft stood up, then said with some concern, “If that’s the case, I won’t disturb your rest anymore, Father. And about the map…”

“You’re unwell, you should go back and rest. As for the map, perhaps it’s nothing but a nebulous legend.”

Fabian Percival waved his hand dismissively, “As for Ivan Reed, you don’t need to worry. No matter what, I am still a local hero here in the Five-lakes Clubhouse — no one can touch you!”

“Alright.”

Elwood Thorneycroft nodded and turned to leave.

Watching her back, a cold sneer flashed across Fabian Percival’s face.

He picked up his phone and dialed Devlin, “Old man, I’ve got an opportunity right now to verify whether Elwood Thorneycroft is lying.”

“An opportunity? That is indeed an opportunity,” the cold voice of Devlin came through the phone.

“As long as Ivan Reed really spares no expense to assassinate her, that would mean the affair is genuine, and the map is in Ivan Reed’s possession.”

Fabian Percival leaned back on the couch, propping up one leg, “There are roads that wind beyond the mountains and rivers, ah! I’ve just received a message from Orren Beaumont that Ivan Reed is making his move.”

“You’re going to use your own daughter as bait?”

Devlin chuckled coldly, “I will lead my men to ambush at the Azure Percival’s entrance. As soon as you confirm the map is in Ivan Reed’s hands, I’ll swoop in to seize it!”

“You’re going to move against Ivan Reed? Just like that, out in the open?”

Fabian Percival sounded surprised.

That was, after all, Ivan Reed!

“In this world, there isn’t a person whom I, Devlin, would be afraid to deal with!”

The voice on the phone was ice-cold and piercing.
