Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 645 - Test_1

Chapter 645: Chapter 645 Test_1

“What to do! What to do!”

Inside the Five-lakes Clubhouse.

Fabian Percival paced about like an ant on a hot pan, walking in circles around the room.

He was completely out of touch with any news!

The phones of Alonso Dragon and Rebecca Brown were all switched off, and even Dominating Tiger’s calls didn’t get through!

Now.

...

He was entirely blind!

While a chaotic battle unfolded on the mountain, he, as a key figure, could only fret within the clubhouse.

“Father need not worry, with Ironclad there, and with Quella Radcliffe and Aron Jackson as important hostages, Julius Reed has most likely been executed!”

Elwood Thorneycroft spoke out to comfort him.

In truth, she was also uncertain.

But Ironclad had previously been so dominant that even Aron Jackson, who was at the Bronze Sparrow Platform, was easily captured.

Anything was possible.

“Let’s hope so! But being out of contact all this time isn’t right either.”

Fabian Percival walked in circles around the room and finally pointed at Rocco Leocadia: “You… go and gather information for me! Be extra careful and ensure you’re not discovered by anyone!”

No matter what was happening at the front, he couldn’t afford to be blind!

“Mr. Thorneycroft, don’t worry, I’ll be right back!”

But before Rocco Leocadia could even step out, Fox Miller ran back in, flustered.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Being one of the Four Diamonds, he was quite familiar with Fox Miller.

“I have urgent matters to discuss with Mr. Thorneycroft!”

Fox Miller didn’t have time to explain to Rocco Leocadia and headed straight to the parlor.

Upon seeing Jennifer Lopez, he asked, “Mr. Thorneycroft, I have urgent matters…”

“Miss Lopez is our partner; if you have something to say, speak up. There’s no need to hide anything!”

Fabian Percival gestured with his hand, indicating for Fox Miller to speak plainly.

Now that he had formed ties with the capital’s Lopez Family, it was all advantage and no loss for him.

In the future, once he stabilized Gonzalez City with the Lopez Family as his stepping stone, he could extend his reach to the capital.

In fact, this return to Gonzalez City wasn’t a sentimental homecoming.

It was to complete an extremely secret and significant task.

Using Gonzalez City as the base first, then he would be able to accomplish this mission.

“Our men have failed,” Fox Miller announced.

“What did you say!”

At that news, Fabian Percival’s pupils contracted sharply, and the teacup in his hand dropped to the floor.

“Father!”

Elwood Thorneycroft quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea that had splashed onto Fabian Percival.

“It’s alright!”

Fabian Percival gestured for Elwood Thorneycroft to step back, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on Fox Miller: “How do you know our men have failed?”

At this time, Fox Miller should have been guarding the clubhouse and should not have appeared elsewhere.

But how did Fox Miller come to know the situation at the front when he, as the boss, was in the dark?

“This morning, I went to the hospital to check on my injury and just happened to hear that Julius Reed had rushed to the mountain.”

Fox Miller said this, quickly adding, “I’m aware that Mr. Thorneycroft is suspicious, but you can check the hospital records.”

“Continue!”

Fabian Percival gripped the wooden chair tightly with both hands, his emotions tensing to the extreme.

“After learning the news, I sneaked down to the base of the mountain, and not long after, Julius Reed came down the mountain carrying Quella Radcliffe, accompanied by Aron Jackson!”

Having said this, he took out his phone and showed Fabian Percival the photos.

“Not dead?”

At the very moment Fabian Percival saw the photo, his heart clenched violently!

On the phone screen, Julius Reed was carrying Quella Radcliffe, with Aron Jackson following behind!

“How is that possible! I mobilized so many elites, and with Ironclad’s help, how could we fail to kill Julius Reed!”

He yelled, smashing the phone hard onto the ground: “Why! Why!”

“Mr. Thorneycroft…”

“Step back!”

Fabian Percival took a deep breath and gestured with his hand: “Everyone, step back!”

“Yes.”

Elwood Thorneycroft exchanged glances with Fox Miller and Brown Bread, and they all left.

In the room.

Only Jennifer Lopez and Fabian Percival remained.

“Something is fishy.”

With one hand supporting his forehead, Fabian Percival spoke in a deep voice, “There’s definitely a problem!”

Could the formidable Dominating Tiger really have been defeated by Julius Reed?

He had hostages in his hands, yet Julius Reed managed to rescue everyone without a scratch?

Just how incompetent must his employees be!

“Mr. Thorneycroft, it’s okay.”

Despite the repeated failures that had brought her spirit down, Jennifer Lopez quickly recovered.

“I’m going to say something you won’t like to hear. You’ve always underestimated Julius Reed,” she took a deep breath, thought of her son, and Aron Jackson and Georgia Warm—the brothers, then shook her head, “Every time I thought I was certain to kill him, I failed.”

“I’m sorry.”

Fabian Percival felt a pang in his heart, and his complexion darkened a bit.

He had lost men and resources, and still hadn’t managed to kill Julius Reed?

“But I still have one more method.”

Jennifer Lopez stood up, looking at Fabian Percival, “The most valued young man of the Lopez Family, Tariq Lopez, has arrived in Gonzalez City. I just need to use a little scheme to incite a conflict between the two, and then the Lopez Family can intervene with justice on their side.”

Five minutes earlier.

She had received news that Tariq Lopez had arrived at the Gonzalez City airport by plane.

Of course.

Jennifer Lopez had lured Tariq Lopez to Gonzalez City under the pretext of an invitation to play.

This most favored young master of the Lopez Family, although young and promising, loved to indulge in leisure.

And his personality was rather domineering.

All it would take was the right opportunity for Tariq Lopez and Julius Reed to clash, and it was bound to cause big trouble!

By then, with the Lopez Family’s reputation tarnished, they would certainly seek revenge with a vengeance!

“Many thanks, Miss Lopez.”

Fabian Percival tried to stand but his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

“Old age has weakened my stress tolerance; please don’t mind it,” he said with a bitter smile, while internally cursing Julius Reed to his death!

“You rest well. I will find someone to track down Julius Reed’s whereabouts and try to make them meet as soon as possible!”

Jennifer Lopez turned away, her expression exceptionally cold.

The pain of losing a son!

And yet, she couldn’t take revenge!

If she had lost a son, then she had no qualms about sending Tariq Lopez to his death as well!

After Jennifer Lopez left.

Only Fabian Percival remained in the guest room.

“Didn’t I order you all not to come in?”

He said irritably upon hearing footsteps.

“What’s the matter? Have you sunk into despair?”

Just then, a familiar voice reached him.

Fabian Percival trembled.

It was the mysterious woman from earlier in the day!

He hadn’t misheard!

“Don’t look up, or you’ll end up dead immediately, just like those employees on the mountain.”

The woman’s words stopped Fabian Percival, who was about to look up, and he lowered his head again.

“I’m sorry, I failed!” he said weakly.

The strength of Julius Reed had surpassed his expectations.

“It doesn’t matter.”

The woman spoke lightly, “You’re not the only one who underestimated his abilities. Even I did. But luckily, today’s test let me know how much he has recovered. Now, things will be much easier to handle.”

“Test?”

Fabian Percival, as if struck by a sudden realization, tensed up completely!

“That’s right, your men were my testing tools,” the woman chuckled lightly. “Fabian Percival, you didn’t really think that with just your men, you could kill Julius Reed, did you?”
