Chapter 714: Chapter 714 Funeral_1

“Sacha Reed, what exactly is going on with today’s events?”

Five-river Province is after all a large coastal province, home to many wealthy individuals.

Although they can’t compare to giants like the Leopold Family, they still possess assets worth over ten billion.

The matter today concerns their future, and they must get a clear answer!

“Exactly! Sacha Reed, what role do you play in this affair?”

At this point

many had already abandoned any pretense of decorum in their speech, directly questioning Ivan Reed.

If this affair was indeed planned by Ivan Reed and Chopter together,

even if Fabian Percival were to die, it wouldn’t pose any loss to them.

Otherwise, if the Roosevelt family were really to seek revenge, it’s feared that everyone present would be unlucky.

After all, they are merely local natives.

What could they use to stand against the Roosevelt family, one of the top wealthy clans in America?

Faced with these questions, Ivan Reed was also somewhat stunned.

He had no dealings with the Roosevelt family and had never crossed paths with them.

And as for Chopter, he had only met him for the first time today.

How did this matter become his responsibility?

“I think, you might have misunderstood something.”

Chopter regarded the people present with a cold indifference, radiating the unique arrogance of a great conglomerate: “The Mr. Reed I was referring to is Julius Reed, not Ivan Reed!”

“What!”

Upon hearing this, the guests were even more shocked.

What standing does Julius Reed hold?

He’s the boss of Gonzalez City’s Aron Jackson.

Yet, even Five-river Province’s top leader isn’t qualified to be addressed as ‘Mister’ by a scion of the Roosevelt family!

“Sorry to have startled everyone,”

Julius Reed said while cracking seeds in his seat, “Today, Chopter is here by my invitation to attend the funeral ceremony.”

The entire place erupted in uproar!

“Julius Reed, what the hell are you pulling!”

“It was supposed to be a birthday banquet, and you dare say it’s a…”

But the man speaking stopped mid-sentence, stiffening in realization.

Funeral…

Coffin.

Memorial tablet.

And a daughter in mourning attire.

This…

Indeed, it’s truly a funeral!

“Master Chopter!”

Fabian Percival’s face underwent a drastic change!

If Fox Miller and Elwood Thorneycroft’s betrayal was still within reason and unexpected,

now…

Chopter was betraying him!

Or rather—

he was abandoning him.

“Why are you calling me!”

Chopter’s expression was cold.

In fact.

When he saw Jay King’s corpse, he had already utterly committed to switching his allegiance to Julius Reed.

He was a scion of a top-tire consortium!

Yet before Jay King, he was treated like a dog!

Grovelling!

Dignity!

His dignity had been trampled upon!

His personal integrity had been insulted!

The long-suppressed anger unleashed the moment he saw Jay King’s corpse.

Relief!

His mood couldn’t have been more relieved!

Who would choose to live bowing down to others when they could stand tall and proud?

“Master, I came to Gonzalez City on business for the Roosevelt family!” Fabian Percival said somewhat frantically: “If I die, how will the Roosevelt family face Granny!”

Granny!

A sacred, yet bloody existence.

A figure whose mere mention changed facial expressions, yet everyone had no choice but to follow Granny’s orders.

Hearing this name, Chopter’s face immediately turned pale.

But…

The arrow is already fitted to the bowstring!

If Fabian Percival doesn’t die today, can he escape Granny’s grasp?

Obviously not!

“Fabian Percival, don’t use Granny to pressure me!”

Chopter’s eyes filled with a murderous intent: “I am a scion of the Roosevelt family!”

What he detested most was being suppressed by others.

Yet now, Fabian Percival had made the same mistake as Jay King.

“When did you collude with Julius Reed?”

Fabian Percival’s face was ashen, yet he was extremely unwilling to accept this!

He hadn’t expected that Julius Reed would be able to sway his own backing!

“I haven’t colluded with anyone, nor will I be controlled by anyone any longer.”

Chopter adjusted his suit and sat back down in his chair.

“Elwood…”

Fabian Percival still did not want to give up the hope of survival.

He took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, “Even if I’m killed, do you truly think you’ll survive? Granny will not let you go, even if you don’t return to America, you can’t escape from Granny’s clutches.”

“Then you don’t need to worry about me.”

A glint of cold light flashed in Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes, and the dagger in his hand was poised to strike!

Shriek!

Just at that moment, a sharp whistling sound descended from the sky!

Looking up!

A gigantic iron wheel came crashing down directly at them!

The iron wheel was incredibly sharp, with a diameter of three meters!

“He’s finally here!”

The moment Julius Reed saw the iron wheel, he leapt up and hurried to the location of the coffin!

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Whoosh!

With one kick, he sent the lid of the coffin flying!

Then—

He drew out a longsword from the coffin, glinting with a golden radiance!

The Grand Arashi Night Sword!

Leap!

He sprang up, his longsword clashing against the iron wheel!

Crack!

The iron wheel struck the Grand Arashi Night Sword and instantly broke into two pieces!

Sparks flew everywhere!

And some who were too slow to dodge lay in pools of blood.

Those with bigger fates, who were crushed under the wheel, let out bursts of agonizing cries.

“Dragon King, your skills are still so strong!”

A woman with her face covered stood on the roof of the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

Like a fairy.

“I thought you wouldn’t show up.”

Julius Reed landed on the ground, holding the longsword, and looked indifferently towards the woman on the roof.

The woman held a bamboo flute in her hand, her body wrapped in black gauze.

Her face was covered with a white veil.

Leaving only two captivating eyes.

“Do you really think I appeared just because of Fabian Percival?”

The woman laughed aloud, “Such pawns, I have countless of them. Even if you killed Maurice Yarrow, even if you killed Whitley Leopold! Even if you shattered the Boulevard League, what does it matter?”

She gently placed the flute to her lips and blew into the green instrument.

“Cover your ears!”

Leap!

Julius Reed, holding the sword with one hand, charged straight at the woman!

Crack!

He swung his sword!

The roof tiles of the Five-lakes Clubhouse instantly shattered!

The woman lightly leapt into the air, moving backward in flight!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, several figures appeared on the roof, surrounding Julius Reed.

“Aron Jackson, arrange the funeral for me! In half an hour, I want to pay tribute to Mr. Thorneycroft myself!”

After Julius Reed spoke, he furiously unleashed a sword slash!

The whole person vanished from the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

“Julius Reed is gone, why aren’t you taking action!”

Fabian Percival bellowed, ready for the best and the worst outcomes!

Even if it meant death today, he intended to take someone with him!

And those loyal to Fabian Percival, one after another, picked up their weapons, determined to fight to the bitter end.

“Everyone!”

Just as they were about to act, Aron Jackson casually walked next to the coffin and lit a cigarette.

“Sss…”

He took a deep drag, then suddenly pulled down the front board of the coffin!

Revealing what was inside.

“Poison eggs! Those are poison eggs!”

“Aron Jackson, what… what are you doing!”

The person closest to the coffin could clearly see what was inside.

A coffin full of poison eggs!

They were neatly arrayed inside, with a fuse on the outside.

“Miss Thorneycroft,” Aron Jackson flicked his cigarette ash lightly, “The funeral, can begin now.”

“Unfilial daughter Elwood Thorneycroft! Paying final respects as my father departs!”

Plop!

Elwood Thorneycroft’s mouth trembled slightly, as she stabbed a knife through Fabian Percival’s throat.

Her eyes shone sharply!

“Father, I send you on your last journey…”

Having said that, she let two lines of tears run down her cheeks.

“Woosh!”

Aron Jackson laughed and bent down to touch the cigarette to the fuse.

“You’re insane!”

“Aron Jackson! You godforsaken traitor!”

“Damn it, I don’t want to die!”

Everyone fell into despair.

Waiting quietly to die.

Whoosh!

Three seconds later—

Multiple fireworks shot into the sky, bursting with light in the daytime!

“It’s New Year’s.”

Aron Jackson tilted his head back, watching the dazzling fireworks in the sky.

He strode away from the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

On the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month.

Fabian Percival, the overlord of Gonzalez City, died from acute cerebral hemorrhage.

Notables from all over Five-river Province came to pay respects to the once glorious elder.

Maurice Yarrow and Whitley Leopold were overcome with emotion, suffering sudden heart attacks.

They died in front of the memorial hall.

Bradwell Moore, a core member of the group, was stricken with grief.

He shot himself, following his former boss.

The scale was enormous.

It could be called—

The number one funeral in Five-river Province!
