Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2608: Visit

"How could I not know who bribed you?" Shadow Kims tried to make a move, but just as the other party said, they both felt completely powerless."Don’t think about stalling for time. Outside, there’s only Jovany Leopold, and he’s already been poisoned. Rest assured, this was crafted especially for Julius Reed. If it can take him down, what hope do you have?"

Peder Ridge confidently said, "I know I can’t kill Julius Reed. After all, I was chosen precisely because I’m not very capable and wouldn’t raise suspicion. Master, the world is full of betrayal, as long as the conditions are tempting enough."

He patted Shadow Kims on the back, "I am truly grateful to you. As long as I follow orders and kill Quella Radcliffe, I will have my own island and nearly a thousand servants! Master, who can resist such temptation? Those women are so alluring."

Peder Ridge’s eyes were full of desire, and he even subconsciously swallowed, as if he had already begun to live like a deity.

"Apologies to you, Sovereign."

He very politely smiled and approached Julius Reed, patting him on the back just as he did to Shadow Kims.

But the moment he touched Julius Reed, he let out a painful scream!

In almost just ten seconds!

Peder Ridge became a dried corpse!

Falling at Julius Reed’s feet.

Seeing this scene, both Shadow Kims and Hiddy had disbelief in their eyes.

Even Julius Reed was very surprised.

What is going on?

Now he was powerless, though he was readying for a strike, he hadn’t even taken action!

How did Peder Ridge just die?

Looking at the dried corpse at his feet, Julius Reed fell into thought.

Could it be related to the previous illusion?

The mysterious person said Quella Radcliffe was a furnace and should act like one!

Is it possible that it means to suck others dry?

Thinking of this, Julius Reed was filled with dread!

Thankfully, it was himself who gained this ability instead of Quella Radcliffe.

But what if someone else encountered this?

Like Hiddy?

Can he never be touched by anyone?

But soon, Julius Reed realized the crux of the problem.

He can control it!

When he harbors hostility, his body develops a kind of craving.

This craving, like suction, madly absorbs the spiritual power of the other when touched!

But if Julius Reed has no such hostility, then this craving does not exist.

Understanding this, he felt relieved.

Strangely, with the death of Peder Ridge, Julius Reed found he could move.

"Could it be that I absorbed the antidote too?" Julius Reed immediately moved to Shadow Kims’ side and began to pat him.

This patting was a martial artist’s technique to speed up the body’s expulsion of poison.

"Did I... pass out?" At that moment, Quella Radcliffe groggily opened her eyes.

She looked at Julius Reed and then at everyone in the room, surprised and said, "You... are back? I think I saw you in a dream."

"I’m back, you’re fine."

Julius Reed went over and sat at the edge of the jade-white bed.

Only then did Julius Reed realize just how cunning Silvio Reed was!

Now he could almost be sure that Silvio Reed was the one to make a move.

There was no one more insidious than him under heaven.

The moment Julius Reed sat on the jade-white bed, he noticed something unusual about Quella Radcliffe’s gaze.

The Eye of God has a special ability, not only seeing the surface but also seeing within.

Although Quella Radcliffe appeared normal, there was a cloud of black mist in her brain.

It was this black mist that made Julius Reed sense something was wrong.

Just as Quella Radcliffe leaned into Julius Reed’s embrace, she opened her mouth and gently bit down on Julius Reed’s neck.

This intimate action would have been normal, but now, it appeared especially eerie.

Julius Reed swiftly moved aside, pinching Quella Radcliffe’s mouth and tossing a spiritual power pill in with his right hand.

Boom!

The moment the spiritual power pill entered Quella Radcliffe’s mouth, the black mist vanished.

Quella Radcliffe immediately fainted, but her vital signs were completely normal.

"What happened?" Shadow Kims was completely dumbfounded.

"Just a series of schemes by Silvio Reed to get rid of me."

Julius Reed breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming Quella Radcliffe was fine, "But I clearly turned him to ashes, how is it he’s still alive?"

In the battle at Drunken Man Pavilion, Julius Reed himself was severely injured, and Silvio Reed was almost killed.

How is he still alive now?

"We have too many enemies around us." Shadow Kims couldn’t help but sigh, "Even my own disciple was bribed. Such an enemy is very capable indeed."

Looking at Peder Ridge, who had become a corpse on the ground, he felt some regret.

But a traitor is, after all, a traitor. Even if he hadn’t died, he would have had to clean up the portal.

"Silvio Reed is a formidable opponent, and if he’s not dead, I must kill him within a week."

Having said that, Julius Reed left the room in large strides, helped Jovany Leopold up, and slowly patted him.

A few minutes later, Jovany Leopold recovered.

He had heard everything clearly from outside and felt chilled to the bone.

"At first, we only knew of Trent Marsh’s prowess, but now we realize this Silvio Reed is even more frightening." Jovany Leopold shook his head and continued to sit at the door, keeping guard over Quella Radcliffe.

"Sovereign, someone is visiting outside."

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s guards respectfully said to Julius Reed, "There are quite a few, and they’re coming aggressively."

"Who?"

Julius Reed frowned slightly, this visitor indeed picked a time.

The only ones who could know he had returned and been injured were enemies.

He was indeed very weak now.

"They claim to be from the Church, wishing to meet you. They’ve insisted multiple times, hoping you won’t refuse."

The guards reported truthfully.

"Should I go meet them?" Jovany Leopold asked, holding his sword.

He knew that Julius Reed was not yet well and hadn’t even recovered thirty percent.

The power the peerless strong man unleashed was too great!

To be alive was already a miracle.

"I can go alone."

Julius Reed said calmly, "Lead the way."

Since the other side bore malice, evading them would only show guilt.

Once the Church made a move against Demarco Mount, the forces on the mountain would inevitably suffer significant losses.

"Shall we call in some reinforcements?" the guards asked.

"I’m enough on my own."

Julius Reed followed the guards and boarded a helicopter.

The distance from here to Demarco Mount’s gate was too far.

The extravagant houses in the mountains were no jest.

The helicopter flew for over ten minutes and landed on a helipad in front of the mountain gate.

Julius Reed got off the helicopter and said aloud, "Open the door."

"Open the door!"

The herald shouted, and the door slowly opened.

Outside the stone gate, stood hundreds of people.

The leader was dressed in white.

The White Cloak Bishop!

One of the top experts of the Church!

Seeing Julius Reed coming alone, the White Cloak Bishop said with a hint of surprise, "Sir, coming alone to meet us?"

"You came to visit, not to fight. Why would I bring anyone?"

Julius Reed walked over with his hands clasped behind his back, smiling.

"Who said we’re not going to fight?" The White Cloak Bishop sneered, "Indeed, you are Piran Wilson, the one who killed the Black Cloak Bishop!"

"If I killed him, then I killed him. What can be done?" Julius Reed raised his hand, closing the mountain gate.

He stood alone outside the gate, facing hundreds from the Church.
