Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
Chapter 2591: Strange Human Nature
"You, did you say you’ve taken this sword before?" Julius Reed grabbed Ilia Yarrow’s shoulder.
The once arrogant Great Commander was now trembling like a little chick.
There weren’t many people who had lived through their era, and most of them had already passed away.
Only he, who was fortunate enough to gain true inheritance, could still be alive today.
With elixirs to extend his life, and as the martial arts world gradually declined, his skills in this world were considered among the finest.
He didn’t care about the outside world, after all, there was still Julius Reed alive.
Ilia Yarrow didn’t have great ambitions, only wanting to stay alive and have everything.
Managing Autumn Name Mountain for so many years, he had everything he needed.
It wasn’t a treasure land, except for Silvio Reed’s tomb that no one knew about, it was just a common place for outsiders to race.
No faction would be interested in a place like Autumn Name Mountain.
Martial Artists cared about Spiritual Power, not other ethereal things.
After living in peace for so long, suddenly encountering a top-tier master from before, Ilia Yarrow immediately cowered.
"I took out many things from the Nine Provinces Tomb to pay respects to those in the Eight-direction Cave. Every time he received something, he would return it to me after a while... That’s why I dared to do it..."
"Otherwise, even if it cost me my life, I wouldn’t dare to send out Silvio’s burial items! Besides, he only appreciated them, so I didn’t mind."
Ilia Yarrow was constantly making excuses for himself.
If Long Wu really followed the rules, he’d only have one path: death.
There was no room for negotiation in this matter.
A Tomb Guardian stealing from the tomb would find it difficult to die with dignity.
"What else? Besides this sword." Julius Reed handed the sword to him, "Are you sure, it’s this sword?"
"I’m sure. The material of this sword is excellent, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. When Mr. Silvio died, he was holding this very sword in his arms." Ilia Yarrow nodded.
Julius Reed suddenly felt something was amiss.
A sword that Silvio Reed valued so much, how could Jin Chan secretly take it out and give it to him?
This was the first time he had doubts about killing Silvio Reed.
Previously, when Long Wu mentioned that Silvio might not be dead, Julius Reed laughed it off.
Now he didn’t think so anymore.
It would be best if Silvio Reed were dead, but he still had to prepare for the possibility that Silvio wasn’t dead.
Someone who could remain hidden by his side for thousands of years without revealing any clues was terrifying.
Anything he did wouldn’t be surprising.
However, deep down, Julius Reed still believed he had killed Silvio Reed.
Besides Silvio Reed, he couldn’t think of anyone else as strong.
"Alright, take us to the Eight-direction Cave." Julius Reed nodded.
The tomb was filled with treasures.
Anything brought to the world could be enough to dominate a region.
But this person didn’t do so.
This was unrealistic.
Because in the martial arts world, no one could resist such temptation!
This was an opportunity to dominate the martial arts world!
Someone who had seen so many things and still restrained themselves to return them was not an ordinary person.
First of all, his ability surpassed Ilia Yarrow; there weren’t many who could overshadow the Martial Artists of Silvio’s era.
Moreover, someone who had seen these things, knew they were treasures, and could return them, was almost unheard of.
"Long Kun, go in the same car with him. If there’s a problem, kill him directly without consulting me." Long Wu finished speaking, opened the car door, and sat next to Julius Reed.
Lillian Tompson wanted to go, but after hesitating, she returned to the hotel.
After all, someone needed to be there.
"Alas." Long Kun sighed.
Long Wu sitting so forcefully beside Julius Reed, whether it was good or bad.
Women, once they develop feelings, their minds become irrational.
Long Kun clearly remembered how, before Long Wu went to the southeast, she stood by the window for several nights, gazing at the Moon in the sky.
She kept wiping the sword in her hand, her eyes full of determination.
But after she went, Long Wu became Julius Reed’s partner.
Life can be so dreamy at times.
Just when Long Kun was gearing up to battle Julius Reed, he found that his former rival had become his superior. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
And his former superior had become the woman of his rival.
Life’s unpredictability made Long Kun chuckle bitterly as he sat with Ilia Yarrow.
He occasionally played with his small knife, scaring Ilia Yarrow into silence.
"So, do you have any insights?" Long Wu pressed close to Julius Reed, asking.
She had noticed something off about Julius Reed at the hotel, but with so many people around, she didn’t ask.
"Can a person, a Martial Artist, really not be tempted by these treasures?" Julius Reed patted the king’s jade sword, smiling as he said, "Impossible. Even Silvio Reed collected these things."
"So, do you think there’s a problem? Ilia Yarrow lied?" Long Wu squinted her eyes, took out her phone, and was about to inform Long Kun to act, to kill Ilia Yarrow.
"It’s not that." Julius Reed reached out, stopping Long Wu’s actions.
"I listened to his inner voice and learned a very important point."
He lay back on the rear seat, speaking thoughtfully, "Do you know what that person wanted?"
"A dragon robe. Besides that, everything else was returned in the same way."
"Dragon robe?" Long Wu asked in surprise, "The one on Silvio Reed?"
"Yes, it was the one he was buried with. Have you thought about why this person didn’t want anything else except that dragon robe?" Julius Reed nodded.
He could hear Ilia Yarrow’s innermost thoughts.
This was a very important piece of information.
"Perhaps... because he’s greedy for power?" Long Wu was very perceptive, roughly understanding what Julius Reed meant.
"That’s one aspect, there’s another," Julius Reed explained. "Silvio Reed isn’t dead, so he doesn’t need this robe, and wouldn’t even care. In the entire Nine Provinces Tomb, no matter what was missing, Silvio Reed might find out, but this robe, he wouldn’t care about."
"A person greedy for power, who forgoes so many treasures and takes only the most ostentatious garment, must have a reason."
"He knows Silvio Reed isn’t dead, so he endures. This explains why he returns the treasures every time, warning Ilia Yarrow that ignoring his words would lead to death. But the biggest question is, why does he take them for a look in the first place?"
Julius Reed pondered for a moment, shaking his head, "Besides this reason, I’ve figured out almost everything else."
"Then we’ll think about it once we get into the Eight-direction Cave and see that person," Long Wu’s eyes showed some concern, "Are you okay physically?"
"And you too." Julius Reed smiled, "I don’t believe there’s anyone stronger than you on Autumn Name Mountain."
"I’m really happy about that." Long Wu smiled, truly delighted.
She probably forgot when was the last time she was this happy.
