Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1357: All of Them

The Vein is highly mysterious.

So mysterious that even Julius Reed, the Saint of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, did not understand the internal structure of Pendleton’s most unique existence.

Elwood Thorneycroft, who until recently was the adopted daughter of Fabian Percival, was even arranged by Devlin to replace the blood bag in Ghost Valley.

She was entirely a pawn.

Yet as a pawn, she managed to transform, within such a short time, into the so-called Vein Holder.

Moreover, according to Elwood, she could even sit on par with the other six Vein Holders.

How prestigious is that?

An absolute real-life version of the ugly duckling turning into a swan.

But what did Elwood rely on?

Ability?

A mere novice, she would probably fall just by someone blowing air on her.

To put it nicely, her skills are lacking; to put it bluntly, she’s useless!

Appeal?

Although fuller figured than Quella Radcliffe, she doesn’t reach even half of Gabriel Abernathy.

Her appearance was just mediocre, and even if the Vein Holders were men, it wouldn’t be possible for her to become the Vein Holder.

"Saint, you have killing intent," Elwood said cheerfully, showing no fear at all.

As if the person Julius Reed wanted to kill was not her.

"Do you want to die?" Julius Reed asked coldly.

He had trusted Elwood so far.

Back then in Gonzalez City, the two had some understanding between them.

"Of course not." Elwood made a face and quietly tucked the Token back at her waist. "I know you have many doubts, but there are some things I cannot say, and some I can."

"What if I insist that you tell me." The sword at Julius Reed’s waist began to tremble, seemingly ready to be drawn at any moment.

"Really can’t." Elwood shook her head, but her face showed no fear. "The things I can say, I naturally will. But some things, I really cannot say right now."

"What can you tell?" Julius Reed looked into her eyes.

"I will not harm you, not now, not ever," Elwood said earnestly as she met his gaze. "The Vein Holders will not harm you either. If she intends ill towards you, Elwood will fight her to the death."

"What can’t you tell?" The sword at Julius Reed’s waist gradually steadied.

His irritability lessened.

Returned to calmness.

"Who is the Vein Holder?" Elwood’s previous playful expression faded: "I came to Swimming City to investigate Isabella Warm’s case."

"Heavenly Vine?" Julius Reed raised an eyebrow looking at her.

Now, he seemed to have guessed who the Vein of the Vein Holders was.

Such trouble for Isabella Warm, yet unwilling to harm himself. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Seemed not many.

"How did you know it was Heavenly Vine?" Elwood looked slightly surprised: "I just figured it out!"

She pointed to the half of the vine inside the brocade box on the table, her eyes bearing a trace of peculiarity: "You came to Swimming City for this?"

"Some things, it’s better you don’t know," Julius Reed snatched the gold token from Elwood’s waist with a wicked smile: "This thing is good, but now, it’s mine."

"You..." Elwood wanted to snatch it back, but instantly abandoned the idea.

She couldn’t beat him.

"Bring her to her room, and without my order, don’t let her leave for half a step!" Julius Reed said coldly.

"Sorry, they can’t stop me, unless you watch over me yourself," Elwood’s face regained its smile.

"Sorry, I’m busy. Plus, you’ve been poisoned, and you can’t move at all," Julius Reed looked at the Token in his hand and said evenly.

"When!" Elwood Thorneycroft’s expression turned cold as he began to feel the changes in his body.

"Now."

Julius Reed gently touched Elwood Thorneycroft’s nose, and Elwood Thorneycroft went limp and collapsed into his arms.

"Take him away!"

"General Grove, rest assured!" Nicholas Pendleton personally led a group of people over, and also captured some women from the Seventh Route Command Mansion to support Elwood Thorneycroft, walking toward a courtyard.

"Do you think Swimming City will open its gates?" Julius Reed hid the Token in his clothing, looking at Nicholas Pendleton beside him.

"Definitely!" Nicholas Pendleton bobbed his head like a woodpecker: "With Rat Town from Seventh Route’s den being captured, how could Xander Cook sit still? Moreover, he is at fault in the first place; if I’m not mistaken, the City Lord’s Mansion will dispatch officials to mediate."

"Has there been a precedent?" Julius Reed asked.

Looking at Nicholas Pendleton, who seemed to have anticipated this, there had certainly been similar incidents before.

"Last month, Commander Marsh’s guards clashed with Seventh Route, and as both sides confronted each other on the outskirts of Swimming City, the City Lord’s Mansion intervened." Nicholas Pendleton said anxiously: "If the City Lord’s Mansion steps in this time, our Ninth Route’s Cow Town has been completely destroyed. And Xander Cook, will certainly not hand over Rat Town willingly."

"Are you worried about being homeless?" Julius Reed suddenly laughed.

"That’s the case." Nicholas Pendleton bit his lip, looking towards the gradually fading mushroom cloud: "Losing Rat Town, our only main base has also been destroyed. If Xander Cook offers compensation, the City Lord will surely ask us to return Rat Town."

"The main base of the Ninth Power has never been plundered before. It’s a rule, and a red line." He sounded somewhat disheartened.

Although he was flooded with passion at the moment, he truly regretted it afterwards.

Why was he so foolish at the time to agree to let the people from The North Sea blow up Cow Town?

But what’s done is done, he could only think of a way to remedy it.

"That’s simple." Julius Reed said indifferently: "Just kill the people from the City Lord’s Mansion, and that solves everything at once."

"You’re crazy!" Nicholas Pendleton widened his eyes, incredulously looking at Julius Reed: "That’s a capital offense! We would all die! Our heads would end up hanging on poles at the harbor!"

"They’re just people, why can’t they be killed?" Julius Reed snorted lightly: "Come on, I’ll lead you to kill them."

"Come back!" Nicholas Pendleton watched him in horror, gasping heavily: "You’re a madman! A real madman! People from the City Lord’s Mansion, even those from Upper Third Route have to give way a bit. If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!"

Those are people from the City Lord’s Mansion...

High in power and rank, they hold control over everyone’s life and death.

Now, the young man before him is actually planning to kill people from the City Lord’s Mansion?

"Even the City Lord can be killed, let alone a few officials." Julius Reed was disdainful, with even a trace of contempt in his eyes as he looked at Nicholas Pendleton.

They’re all people, with two eyes and one mouth.

Initially, he walked openly into the City Lord’s Mansion and in front of everyone, chopped off the head of the incumbent City Lord.

When he left, no one dared to stop him.

"Then how about this, we disguise ourselves as people from Seventh Route and leave a survivor?" Julius Reed embraced Nicholas Pendleton, whispering: "Think about it, if this gets to the City Lord’s ears, wouldn’t Rat Town belong to us?"

"But..." Nicholas Pendleton was tempted.

He had considered diverting the disaster eastward.

But those were people from the City Lord’s Mansion to be killed!

"No more buts." Julius Reed said impatiently: "Either be homeless, roll back to the ruins and eat dirt. Or take a risk, and go from bicycle to motorcycle! Answer me directly, do you want to eat dirt, or ride a motorcycle."

"Only children make choices! I want both!" Nicholas Pendleton clenched his fists!

Clenching his teeth!

He was all in!

This was the craziest thing he’s done in his decades of life!

PS: I have been in the hospital for several days.

Sorry everyone, for the fewer updates.

I should be able to resume updates by the end of August.

Bow, apologizing.
