Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 296: Chapter 295 Chain Plan_1

“So, you’re choosing the penalty drink over the toast? Three years ago, that battle already cost you your cultivation, reducing you to a cripple!”

Seeing the Alliance Hierarch’s ring, a gleam of sharpness flashed in the woman’s eyes.

It was the very thing she had longed for in her dreams.

The position of Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was not one that just anyone could hold.

As long as Julius Reed was not dead, anyone who dared to claim the title of the new Young Master would face the wrath of the various alliances.

And succeeding as Young Master required satisfying two conditions.

First, the current Young Master, Julius Reed, must be confirmed dead.

Second, the designated successor must possess the Alliance Hierarch’s ring.

However, Julius Reed was a man of eternal life; throughout the centuries since the foundation of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, numerous faction leaders had died of illness, yet not a single person had the chance to become the new Young Master.

Later successors were clearly aware of this, and thus they secretly prepared to kill Julius Reed, seize the Alliance Hierarch’s ring, and ascend to the position of Young Master!

This plan continued for three generations and was only completed three years ago.

However, in that battle, the rebels suffered heavy casualties and, in the end, barely managed to defeat Julius Reed by ambush at Mount Everest.

For the following three years, there was no news of him.

The consequences of rebellion were severe; in the past, whenever there was a rebel within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, the entire organization involved was summarily expelled.

“I once said I don’t hit women, but today I might have to make an exception,”

Julius Reed looked at the ring on his hand as its red glow grew increasingly intense.

“Stop posturing here. After that battle, it’s impossible for you to have recovered! And I’ve been tracking you for a day, watching your every move. Forgive me for being blunt, but you’re not even a paper tiger now.”

The woman licked the blade and a smile flashed across her face, “Dear Young Master, allow me to escort you on your final journey.”

Having said that, she thrust the dagger in her hand towards Julius Reed with a whoosh!

Slish!

The blade was incredibly fast, tearing through the air and aiming straight for Julius Reed’s neck!

She launched a killing move the moment she struck!

Whoosh!

Just as the dagger was about to reach Julius Reed, he suddenly stood up, pinched the blade between two fingers of his right hand, and directly caught the blade in his grasp.

“Impossible! You can’t be…”

“You think you can?”

Bang!

Without giving the woman any time to react, Julius Reed kicked out fiercely, landing a kick in the woman’s abdomen!

He then dashed forward and with a mid-air kick, sent the woman flying into the wall!

Boom!

The solid hotel wall was hit so hard that it created a large hole, filling the room with dust.

“You…”

Spurt!

The woman collapsed to the ground, a mouthful of fresh blood spewing out of her throat, her body weakly slumping to the floor.

“Why are you… so strong…”

She looked at Julius Reed with an unwilling gaze, pinned beneath the rubble of the shattered wall, struggling but finding herself completely unable to move.

Fear began to spread throughout her body.

“Janet Carmichael, did you really think you could track my movements with your own abilities?”

Julius Reed walked towards her step by step, making Janet Carmichael’s heart feel as though it was being crushed by a heavy stone, leaving her breathless.

“Could it be…”

Janet Carmichael’s face turned ashen, blood continuously pouring from her mouth.

“That’s right, I had Cold Nelson release the news, all to lure you here!”

Julius Reed stood in front of Janet Carmichael, his foot pressing down on her face, “Janet Carmichael, oh Janet Carmichael, your father devoted his life to building North River, and you? You squandered it in a blink of an eye! But there was no choice, as it was very difficult for me to find you, so I had to let you come to me willingly.”

After meeting with Cold Nelson last night, Julius Reed had already planned to start investigating that incident three years ago.

If it hadn’t been for his extraordinary constitution, he would never have survived that disaster.

But he had always felt that things were far from being as simple as they seemed.

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was in upheaval, with over half of its members rebelling without any prior warning!

Janet Carmichael was one of them and, among the multitude of traitors who witnessed Julius Reed fall from Mount Everest, held the lowest position.

“Young Master, you think you can pry secrets from my lips? Don’t forget, I’m the leader of North River!”

Janet Carmichael suddenly burst into laughter, then shouted loudly, “Warriors, come out and kill him!”

However, after her call, there was no movement outside.

“Hm?”

Janet Carmichael’s brow furrowed as she yelled through the searing pain, “Warriors!”

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

“Prepare to die! With the elites of North River gathered here, even if your cultivation has recovered, you won’t escape this calamity!”

Janet Carmichael was confident that even if Julius Reed could recover a bit of his cultivation, it would be insignificant.

After all, the battle three years ago was fierce enough to kill an ordinary person a hundred times over!

But in the next moment, she was stunned.

Because the person who walked through the door wasn’t anyone else, it was Cold Nelson!

“Young Master! The task is complete!”

Cold Nelson bowed with both hands respectfully speaking.

“Bring them in!”

At the wave of Julius Reed’s hand, corpses were immediately carried in from outside.

After they were laid down, there were twenty-three in total!

“You…”

Seeing the bodies on the ground, Janet Carmichael’s pupils shrank sharply!

They were all her warriors from North River!

A one in ten thousand force!

Her father had spent his life’s efforts to build this team!

And now, these elites, not a single one spared, had all been killed, their throats cut.

“Cold Nelson! Why would you do this!”

Janet Carmichael screamed heartrendingly.

Despite the pain in her chest, she no longer cared.

Without North River, even if she could escape from here, her status within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance would plummet!

“Janet Carmichael! I, Cold Nelson, am loyal to the Young Master, something a traitor like you could never understand!”

Cold Nelson pointed at Janet Carmichael, harshly rebuking, “Now confess quickly, who was it that incited you to rebel!”

In the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, assassinating the Young Master is a capital crime!

The entire organization would be eradicated!

But after Julius Reed suddenly disappeared, a special investigation team interrogated for half a year, only catching some peripheral small organizations, without unearthing any valuable individuals.

This indicated one thing, there were high-ranking members involved, and more than one at that!

As for who the rebels were, no one knew.

Julius Reed lured Janet Carmichael here because he knew she was one of the rebels, and North River held a not insignificant status within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, having eluded capture for so many years, it meant someone was providing protection!

In the three years, Janet Carmichael and her North River had acted like nothing was amiss, engaging as usual within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

Not a soul suspected them.

If Julius Reed had not disclosed this matter, even in death Cold Nelson would have never believed that Janet Carmichael was one of them.

“Young Master! Let me handle her!”

Cold Nelson glanced at Janet Carmichael, saying angrily, “I will make her talk!”

“No need! Janet Carmichael, being able to lead North River, is not someone whose mouth can be easily pried open. Leave this to me, and focus on keeping an eye on the docks. The moment the Saint Heir lands, strike to kill!”

Julius Reed, with his hands clasped behind his back, removed his foot from Janet Carmichael’s face, “Red Widow, I’ll trouble you to deal with this woman.”

“I am willing to serve.”

The Red Widow slowly walked in from outside, looking down at the prone Janet Carmichael with an amused expression, “I have a hundred ways to make her talk.”
