Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 679 - : It’s Been Hard Searching for You_1

Chapter 679 -679: It’s Been Hard Searching for You_1

As dawn broke and the first sliver of sunlight shone on the bandage wrapped around Jay King’s buttocks,

he woke up.

Today, he had to finalize the cooperation with Itai Huntington.

There were only three months left until grandmother’s birthday banquet.

The fact that grandmother even made him personally come to Gonzalez City showed the urgency of the matter.

It was known that Jay King had been by grandmother’s side all these years,

...

never once leaving the Americas.

Now, everyone was under immense pressure.

Including grandmother herself.

She had been planning for two hundred years, all to uncover the secret of immortality.

Yet to date, there had been no success.

With her time running out, panic was spreading throughout Thunderpeak Hall.

“Huff!”

Jay King let out a long sigh as he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror.

It’s alright.

Although injured, it was nothing serious.

With the help of Thunderpeak Hall’s medicinal powder, the wound couldn’t fully heal, but it could mend significantly.

“Keller, Chopter.”

He softly called out, and the door was slowly pushed open.

Chopter walked in.

“How did Keller’s operation go last night?”

Jay King adjusted the collar of his shirt and reached out his hand, “Hand me the tie.”

Chopter immediately walked over and handed the golden tie to Jay King.

“Did Keller succeed last night?”

Jay King muttered to himself, “I guess it’s unlikely. If Aron Jackson were so easy to kill, Fabian Percival would have succeeded long ago. But it’s good to give Julius Reed a warning.”

After tying his tie, he turned and looked at Chopter, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Chopter was acting very strangely today.

He had hardly spoken since he entered the room.

This abnormal behavior made Jay King frown uncontrollably.

“Keller…”

Chopter took a deep breath, his face looking a bit unsightly.

“Speak!”

Jay King’s face darkened, and he reprimanded him unhappily.

Could he be so frightened by Julius Reed yesterday that he lost his courage?

“Keller is dead…”

Chopter said in a low voice.

“What!”

Jay King grabbed Chopter’s throat with one hand, “Say it again, where is Keller?”

“He’s dead…”

Pain was written all over Chopter’s face.

Both were Jay King’s attendant employees, and the sudden death of one of them naturally provoked some sadness in him.

“Impossible!”

Jay King stepped back, feeling dizzy, “When did this happen?”

“Last night.”

Brows furrowed in pain, Chopter said, “After receiving the news, I immediately ordered people to retrieve the body. We fished Keller’s body out of the sea and stored it in the Northern restaurant’s storage room.”

“Take me to see it.”

Jay King felt a tightness in his chest!

He had just arrived in Gonzalez City and had already suffered losses!

They took the elevator, one after the other, heading straight to the storage room where Keller’s body was kept.

There, Keller lay on a plank bed, his body deathly pale, eyes wide open.

It seemed he had been in the water for at least a few hours.

“Who killed him!”

Jay King slammed his fist on the plank bed, disregarding the wound inflicted on his finger by a nail!

This pain was nothing compared to the agony in his heart!

How would Thunderpeak Hall regard him?

Incompetent, or useless?

Even his nickname “Overlord,” was it undeserved?

“It was Julius Reed who killed him! According to the Shadow Warrior who escaped, Julius Reed and Aron Jackson were arguing at the time.”

Chopter said sorrowfully, “Keller saw they were having a fierce argument and tried to capture Julius Reed alive. But unexpectedly…”

“Take all those people down, let them accompany Keller in death!”

Jay King gently stroked Keller’s face, murmuring to himself, “Thunderpeak Hall has no place for cowards.”

…

Julius Reed had another dream.

But it wasn’t a nightmare.

In the dream, he saw a letter with content that was blurry and indistinct.

But just as he was about to see the content of the letter, Aron Jackson walked over with a lighter, wearing a wicked smile on his face.

Julius Reed desperately tried to stop him.

In the end, the letter was still burned by Aron Jackson.

“Dammit, Aron Jackson!”

Crash!

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, Julius Reed suddenly sat up in bed.

What caught his eye was Quella Radcliffe, wearing pajamas, with a face full of shock.

The floor was littered with broken cosmetics.

Shattered all over the place.

“Honey, what’s wrong?”

Quella Radcliffe extended her hand, lightly placing it on Julius Reed’s forehead.

No fever.

Julius Reed had never been sick in over three years of marriage.

This struck Quella Radcliffe as odd.

But she reluctantly put it down to Julius Reed’s robust constitution.

But these two days, Julius Reed had been sleeping like a dead dog!

She couldn’t wake him up no matter how much she called!

She had thought to take the opportunity to smooth over the relationship between them.

After all, Itai Huntington had been eyeing them hungrily.

But now she was wearing a silk pajama!

And Julius Reed had not reacted at all!

Thinking of this, Quella Radcliffe felt angry!

“No… it might be that, maybe there’s too much on my mind.”

Julius Reed rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of pain.

Probably from lack of rest.

“Right, Itai Huntington just called me, Chopter wants to continue negotiating the cooperation and is sorry for yesterday’s incident.”

Quella Radcliffe turned and left the bedroom, bringing a mop and broom to clean up the cosmetics Julius Reed had broken.

“Interesting. Let Itai Huntington handle this matter, you stay at home and take it easy.”

Julius Reed threw off the covers, quickly changed clothes, “I’m going out for a morning run, are you coming?”

“Don’t feel like moving.”

Quella Radcliffe, stewing in her own annoyance, flatly refused.

“Then I’ll go alone.”

Julius Reed was preoccupied with other things and didn’t notice anything unusual about Quella Radcliffe.

After a quick face wash,

he climbed out of the second-floor window and started running down the street.

The weather in Gonzalez City before the New Year was quite cool.

When the wind kept blowing, Julius Reed felt refreshing and invigorated.

Especially comfortable.

After running for three kilometers, he faintly sensed someone following him.

“An assassination attempt this early in the morning? And in a busy area?”

Since someone was courting death, he didn’t mind obliging.

But now that he was in the city, to avoid harming the innocent and escalating the situation,

Julius Reed quickly picked up the pace and vaulted into an abandoned boiler room.

This place used to serve as a heating center for a nearby residential area, but was decommissioned for not meeting environmental standards.

Due to the massive volume of the demolition and that several dozen-meter-high chimney, it had been left deserted.

As expected.

When he entered the yard of the decrepit boiler room,

the person behind him quietly followed in.

Julius Reed vanished behind a wall in a flash.

“You’ve followed long enough, come out!”

As the shadow flitted by, the two immediately engaged in combat!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a brief exchange of blows, Julius Reed unusually did not gain any advantage!

“Interesting!”

Since his memory had awakened, this was the first opponent he had faced who seemed to be an equal match!

Swipe!

Julius Reed struck out with full force, no longer holding back any strength!

But the shadow was equally evasive!

Appearing behind Julius Reed in an instant!

Whoosh!

After clashing palms once more, both retreated several steps.

“Again!”

The stronger the opponent, the more it aroused Julius Reed’s fighting spirit!

But just as he was about to attack again, the other person suddenly removed the veil from their face, “Dragon King, this lady has had such a hard time looking for you.”
