Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: Chapter 293 Lee Family Conspiracy_1Chapter 294: Chapter 293 Lee Family Conspiracy_1
The once lively birthday dinner fell into an eerie silence with the appearance of Julius Reed.
And then, it reached a complete climax under Julius Reed’s sky of banknotes.
Sophia Leocadia entirely lost sleep, her mind filled with the image of Julius Reed.
She could never have anticipated that this boy, who haunted her dreams, would appear on her eighteenth birthday.
Not only had he slapped Fernando Lee’s face but also left with extreme arrogance.
What background did he come from? And where was he from?
Was he married? Were the two girls following him his girlfriends?
Sophia Leocadia couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.
However, at that moment by the Birch River, the very Julius Reed she yearned for was standing by the riverside, hands clasped behind his back, looking ahead.
The moonlight illuminated Julius Reed’s handsome face, clearly revealing his features.
In front of him lay several bodies strewn about.
Blood slowly flowed into the river and then dispersed.
“Young Master!”
A man in black emerged from behind a tree at some unknown time, bowing respectfully.
“Did you do this?”
Julius Reed pointed at the bodies on the ground, still without turning around.
“These people planned to harm the Young Master; they deserved to die! I’ve extracted the name of the mastermind behind them, a rich young master named Fernando Lee. Young Master, do you need me to help you eliminate the problem at its root?”
The man in black’s voice was low but extremely respectful.
“No need. I’ll handle this matter myself. Death is a bit too luxurious for him. I am not a kind man—I’m used to exterminating both people and their ambitions.”
Julius Reed slowly turned around, looking at the man in black in front of him: “Cold Nelson, do you know why I called you here?”
“This subordinate doesn’t know! But as long as the Young Master commands, even if it’s death, Cold Nelson will not frown!”
Cold Nelson kept his head bowed from beginning to end.
He hesitated slightly, then asked, “Young Master, these past three years…”
“Three years ago, I was betrayed and lost my memory. None of that matters now; I have returned.”
Julius Reed looked up at the moon, the ring in his hand beginning to shine brightly.
“Young Master! In your absence, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance crumbled, with nearly a third of the organization leaving. The rest, although still members in name, had already gone their separate ways. Those who remain at headquarters don’t exceed twenty percent!”
Cold Nelson’s voice was somewhat choked up, but it was filled with more excitement!
Three years!
Nobody knew how they had survived those three years!
Everyone said that Julius Reed had died and that the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance should establish a new Young Master!
Only these few people had desperately held on, maintaining the current situation.
“Don’t tell anyone about my matters,”
Julius Reed looked at his hands and sighed, “My memory has not fully recovered, and my strength has been greatly damaged. Within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, I trust you the most.”
The conspiracy three years ago was definitely not something one person could have easily accomplished.
Now, with his cultivation not yet fully restored, it was not the time to confront those people head-on.
“Please rest assured, Young Master! Cold Nelson will protect your safety with my life!”
By the riverside, Cold Nelson knelt on one knee, his voice slightly choking.
“The Skyfire people are looking for trouble with me in Five-river Province. I’ll leave this matter to you, and once the Saint Heir lands, notify me immediately!”
Julius Reed gently caressed the ring on his hand, muttering to himself, “Even if my strength is greatly reduced, how is Skyfire’s action any different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot?”
This time, he was determined to uproot Skyfire completely, to erase them from the martial world!
“Understood, my lord! My people are not far from here, and if anyone from Skyfire dares to set foot here, they will surely not return alive!”
Cold Nelson raised his head and asked, “Fernando Lee…?”
“If such a person could pose a threat to me, then it’s truly time for the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance to find a new Young Master!”
Julius Reed looked at the corpses strewn across the ground and strode toward the downtown area.
“In three months, I will reconsolidate the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!”
“This subordinate offers congratulations in advance, Young Master!”
Cold Nelson clasped his hands in front of him, his face full of excitement.
“Give Fernando Lee a generous gift for me; place all the heads from these corpses at the front door of the hotel where he’s staying.”
From afar, Julius Reed had already vanished, leaving only his voice echoing.
“Now go and do it!”
As Cold Nelson stood up from the ground, several figures emerged from the darkness.
These men each unsheathed the knives at their waists and walked toward the haphazardly scattered bodies.
“Hmph! To dare oppose the Young Master, the Lee Family really must want to be eliminated from the capital city!”
Cold Nelson turned his back, his expression returning to one of cold sternness.
“Father, don’t worry! I will make sure he does not live to see tomorrow’s sun! It’s just a shame about my limited-edition car, smashed to smithereens!”
In a hotel room at the Global Hotel, Fernando Lee lay on the bed, video calling with Nikodem Lee on his phone.
“Son, a car is trivial. Wealth is dispensable, our Lee Family doesn’t lack money. Since your grandfather’s generation, our family has been affluent! Over the years, the Lee Family’s reputation has risen in the capital, anyone who sees us pays threefold respect!”
On the other end of the video call, Nikodem Lee spoke gravely and earnestly, “What we cannot afford to lose is face. A mere Five-river Province producing a greenhorn who struck you and smashed your car! By tomorrow, everyone in the capital will know, where shall I put the Lee Family’s face then?”
“Father! I will have my revenge!”
Fernando Lee clenched his fists, his face flushed with rage.
“Make it look good! Don’t give anyone a handle against you, and you know, quite a few people in the capital are waiting for our Lee Family to slip up. As for Sophia Leocadia, you should finalize the matter promptly. The Leocadia Family has but one daughter, if you are too slow, it would be a tremendous loss for our family!”
Nikodem Lee sat on the sofa, his face lined with worry, “Lately Old Master Leocadia has been ill, and the family is not united. Many wish for the old man to pass away so they can divide the family assets. You must secure the marriage before Old Master Leocadia dies! Then the Leocadia family’s wealth will also have a share for you!”
“Dad, it’s not that I lack confidence, but Sophia Leocadia really isn’t interested in me, and Old Master Leocadia won’t agree either. I remember Sophia’s grandfather has always been quite healthy, how did he suddenly become ill?”
Fernando Lee was curious; when he arrived, Sophia Leocadia had not mentioned her grandfather being ill.
And how did his own father know so quickly?
“Haha! Rest assured, whether Sophia Leocadia wants to or not, she will be the bride of the Lee Family! But we must act quickly. To tell you the truth, I spent a lot of money on the medicine. Imogen Leocadia added it into the old man’s bowl. In less than half a month, he’ll ascend to the heavens! Then, most of the Leocadia family will agree to the marriage!”
Nikodem Lee laughed loudly, shaking his head, “Do you think Sophia Leocadia is some unattainable fairy? Once I take control of the Leocadia’s assets, she will simply be your plaything! But until then, you have to take care of your own business! No one who slaps the face of our Lee Family can live.”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Just then, there were several knocks on Fernando Lee’s door.
