Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 524: 524 Chapter Stepping on Two Boats_1

After finishing his instructions to Beckett Carmichael, Julius Reed walked leisurely toward his own home.

Today’s business with the Commercial Alliance had been taken care of.

Bran Cook, his reputation ruined, found it nearly impossible to establish a foothold in Gonzalez City again.

The only threat was the force behind Odingle.

And the internal traitor from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

The sailor lurking underwater just now was a spy sent by the Alliance’s mole.

Clearly, the woman trapped in Five-river Province, although she couldn’t act on her own, had still managed to send out a message and summon her comrades.

These people couldn’t even wait until the new year, wanting to eliminate Julius Reed before the festivities.

But.

Would the once Dragon King fall so easily?

The Wolf Cavalry, far in the capital, had sent news that Stacy Cook was indeed Ivan Reed’s foster son, who had once secretly traveled to Africa on a confidential mission.

Ivan Reed was the Family Head of the Davenport Family in the capital, and along with the Carmichael and Leocadia Families, was one of the four major families.

But the Davenport Family had no tangible industries; it was like an invisible hand in the background, secretly manipulating many unseen transactions.

And this Ivan Reed had many foster children, Stacy Cook being just one of them.

After digging deeper, the Wolf Cavalry discovered that Stacy Cook’s arrival in Gonzalez City was for a secret mission, which likely involved the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

This matched Julius Reed’s assumptions— the Davenport Family had cooperative relationships with some organizations under the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

As for that trip to Africa and the current mission in Gonzalez City, Julius Reed planned to deal with the force behind Odingle and then capture Stacy Cook for interrogation.

The situation seemed to be getting more urgent…

When he arrived at the villa’s entrance, he unexpectedly found Aron Jackson standing there, restlessly pacing and smoking.

On seeing Julius Reed, he quickly approached and said excitedly, “Big brother, you’ve finally come back!”

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

“What happened?”

Julius Reed surveyed his surroundings to see only Aron Jackson, yet a car was parked nearby.

“Big brother, your little lover from Five-river Province, she’s here!”

Aron Jackson said anxiously, “I couldn’t stop her! She barged in with her luggage and brought a middle-aged woman with her.”

“A middle-aged woman?”

Julius Reed pointed at the mansion, “Aren’t you afraid that person could be dangerous? How careless! When have I ever had a lover?”

He was truly about to explode with frustration.

After following him for so long, Aron Jackson still lacked such basic judgment.

“Other than your sister-in-law, when have I ever messed with another woman?”

Julius Reed’s face darkened, feeling some concern in his heart.

The most dangerous thing was the unvetted person inside, potentially threatening Quella Radcliffe.

Even with Cosmo there, it was still too risky.

“There’s no danger!”

Aron Jackson said dejectedly, “It’s that girl you tossed a few billion to at the Global Hotel. She came here by plane, bringing along a middle-aged woman, looking for you.”

“Sophia Leocadia?”

Julius Reed raised an eyebrow and started to ponder, why would this young girl come looking for him?

As for the middle-aged woman, she was most likely Dempsey Davenport’s biological mother.

He had only asked Sophia Leocadia to rescue the woman, not to send her to Five-river Province.

“This young lady…”

Julius Reed shook his head and asked helplessly, “How did she get in touch with you?”

“The Leocadia Family, one of the four major families, would not be mixing in the capital if they lacked that capability,” said Aron Jackson with a morose look, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, putting it in his mouth, lighting it, and taking a drag. “Big brother, how many sister-in-laws will I end up having?”

“Shut up!”

Julius Reed chided, then pretended to be nonchalant as he asked, “When she arrived, what expression did your sister-in-law have?”

Though there was nothing between himself and Sophia Leocadia, this young girl seemed to have taken an interest in him.

With the arrival of a romantic rival, and just when his relationship with Quella Radcliffe was finally getting back on track, Julius Reed felt a headache coming on!

Why do outstanding men always have a never-ending stream of troubles!

“Sister-in-law… hehe!”

Aron Jackson smirked lewdly, “Today, sister-in-law is in a good mood. Even though you were kissed by Itai Huntington, sister-in-law is more dominant! And besides, a man that’s caught Itai Huntington’s eye can’t be bad!”

“Bad your big ghost head!”

Julius Reed coughed and asked seriously, “On this matter, I truly have less experience than you. Analyze it for me, what should I do when I go in there?”

Even though he had lived for a hundred thousand years, he had never put in effort into the affairs of the heart.

After all, being so outstanding, women flocked to him without him having to do anything at all.

The situation he was facing now was giving him a massive headache.

“I’d rather duel with every top-notch person in this world than deal with these matters,” he said, sighing deeply in helplessness.

“Big brother, I think this matter is highly likely to start a war. He who hesitates is lost, and the slightest conflict between the two parties means you must firmly stand by sister-in-law’s side!”

Aron Jackson spoke seriously, “Even though sister-in-law was all smiles when she first came in, that definitely must be because she’s unaware! Think about it, how can someone else snore by the side of one’s bed! Itai Huntington was just shamelessly flirting with you, but now she’s at the doorstep!”

“Is it that serious?”

Hearing Aron Jackson’s words, Julius Reed also felt uncertain.

But thinking about it, Sophia Leocadia had taken the initiative to come over, and with Quella Radcliffe’s temper, she definitely wouldn’t stand for it.

However, Sophia Leocadia had not hesitated to help him out before, and had done so without asking for anything in return.

This was putting him in a difficult position.

“Big brother, are you hesitant? Wanting to have a foot in two boats?”

Aron Jackson quirked an eyebrow and with a sly glint in his eye, said, “It’s human nature. If it were me, facing two such stunning beauties, I’d also plan to have a foot in two boats. So you just keep things balanced and send Sophia Leocadia away first. Tomorrow is the start of the festivities, she definitely has to catch a plane back tonight.”

“Two boats your head!”

Julius Reed smacked Aron Jackson on the head and turned toward the mansion.

“We’re all men, big brother, no need to be hard on yourself.”

After saying that, Aron Jackson held his head and scurried away.

The distance from the gate to the front door of the house was only three hundred meters.

Yet, for Julius Reed, walking those three hundred meters felt as long as a century.

When he pushed the door open, ready to break up a fight, he froze in place.

“You guys…”

Just as he was about to ask if they weren’t supposed to be fighting, Julius Reed saw a group of women making dumplings.

Quella Radcliffe was rolling out dumpling wrappers while Sophia Leocadia, Dempsey Davenport, and Anna Harris were stuffing them.

Bastien Yarrow was on the side, mixing the dumpling filling.

It was a scene of harmony, filled with the ambiance of the New Year.

“Back already?”

Quella Radcliffe looked up, smiling, and said, “Wash your hands, come help out.”

“Ah…”

Julius Reed was a bit stunned.

But he still changed into slippers and walked into the house.

“I just happened to bring Aunt Yarrow over, and I kind of missed you, so I flew right over,” said a sweet voice by Julius Reed’s ear as he passed Sophia Leocadia.
