Chapter 653: Chapter 653 Ivan Reed_1

“Gonzalez City, Ivan Reed, Master Reed has arrived!”

It was just as the banquet was about to end.

With a shout, the atmosphere charged.

All eyes in the room turned toward the entrance.

A bald old man wearing a traditional Tang suit, hands clasped behind his back, walked in.

In his hand, he was carrying a string of Buddha Beads, his right hand constantly rubbing them back and forth.

...

His face was as serene as an ancient well, inscrutable.

Several bodyguards in black followed him,

their builds alone betrayed their skills in combat!

“Ivan Reed? Ivan Reed of Gonzalez City? Why has he come?”

“I heard that Stacy Cook of the Cook Family is Ivan Reed’s sworn son! The Cook Family was wiped out a few days ago, so it’s likely that Ivan Reed is here for that reason!”

“That must be it! With the Cook Family annihilated, Ivan Reed would have to show his face!”

The business tycoons present were all familiar with the major families in Gonzalez City.

The Davenport Family that Ivan Reed belonged to was one of the four major families.

And of the four, it was the most enigmatic lineage.

Ivan Reed had no sons or daughters of his own blood.

He had never taken a wife in his life, but he had adopted many sworn sons.

These sworn sons were very capable, and they managed all the Davenport Family’s affairs in Gonzalez City.

Even Mr. Flower, who had been killed by Julius Reed, was one of Ivan Reed’s sworn sons.

Before his death, Mr. Flower had wielded great influence in Gonzalez City.

“Mr. Reed!”

The unexpected arrival of Ivan Reed left Itai Huntington perplexed.

But given the guest’s prestigious status, she had to stand up and went to greet him.

“Itai Huntington?”

Ivan Reed observed Itai Huntington while still fiddling with his Buddha Beads.

“It is I. But I didn’t expect the honor of Mr. Reed’s presence, forgive me for not receiving you properly!”

Regret was apparent on Itai Huntington’s face.

If she wanted to return to her own family, she couldn’t afford to make enemies in Gonzalez City.

Offending Ivan Reed would make her journey back fraught with difficulty!

“No matter!”

Ivan Reed waved his hand and said with a smile, “My arrival was sudden, and I did not get a chance to inform you in advance. Please, don’t hold it against me!”

Having said that,

he strode towards the speaker’s platform.

No one knew what Ivan Reed was about to do.

Even Itai Huntington was baffled.

Only Julius Reed knew.

Through the Wolf Cavalry lurking in Gonzalez City, he had informed Ivan Reed of Stacy Cook’s death.

With a sworn son murdered and the tale spreading like wildfire throughout Gonzalez City,

if Ivan Reed stayed silent, his reputation would be in tatters!

What would the world think of the Davenport Family?

And what would Ivan Reed’s other sworn sons think of their father?

In both feeling and reason,

Ivan Reed had to personally visit Gonzalez City.

To investigate the cause of Stacy Cook’s death.

Elwood Thorneycroft was also acutely aware.

From the moment she saw Ivan Reed, her heart was in her throat.

If it weren’t for the schemes of Julius Reed behind her,

she would never have mistakenly killed Stacy Cook!

Under everyone’s gaze, Ivan Reed mounted the speaker’s platform.

“The microphone, may I use it?”

The bald old man asked, smiling at the host.

He was six feet tall, but always liked to stoop, making him appear an inch shorter.

“Of course.”

The host quickly recovered from the shock and handed the microphone to Ivan Reed.

A hush fell over the venue.

The sudden incursion of Ivan Reed into Gonzalez City was already big news!

Now, with the old man stepping onto the speaker’s platform and picking up the microphone, it gripped the hearts of countless onlookers!

“Ladies and gentlemen,”

Ivan Reed looked down at the thousand people below and offered a faint smile, “I am Ivan Reed. I suppose many present here recognize me.”

“Since you recognize me, I will get straight to the point and cut to the chase.”

“In Gonzalez City, I had a sworn son named Stacy Cook.”

As these words were spoken, Elwood Thorneycroft’s complexion changed drastically!

While Julius Reed sat with his legs crossed, an amused expression on his face as he watched Ivan Reed on the platform.

Although the other entrepreneurs from Gonzalez City had long suspected it, hearing it come out of Ivan Reed’s mouth still gave them quite a shock!

This meant.

There would be turmoil in Gonzalez City!

“My adopted son, Stacy Cook, was brutally murdered by the murderer in a family annihilation case a few days ago!”

“As Stacy’s foster father, I must seek the truth for him!”

Ivan Reed finished speaking.

The person behind him immediately went down to the stage and captured Elwood Thorneycroft!

“What are you doing!”

The bodyguards behind Elwood Thorneycroft took action right away!

Bang! Bang!

A man in black behind Ivan Reed kicked out twice, instantly knocking these people to the ground.

“This is my adopted son, Luciano Michael, also Stacy’s brother.”

Ivan Reed watched Luciano Michael strike with efficient grace, a smile flashing across his face.

“So awesome!”

“They say each of Ivan Reed’s adopted sons is quite the character! Now I see it’s true!”

“Such skill, so formidable!”

With just two kicks, he brought down two of the four bodyguards behind Elwood Thorneycroft.

The scene was extremely shocking!

“Don’t mess around! Get back and tell father! Quick!”

Elwood Thorneycroft shouted an order.

This situation had already exceeded her ability to handle.

With Fabian Percival currently dealing with issues in Gonzalez City, it was not possible to oppose the powers in the capital!

Otherwise, there would be no way to deal with Aron Jackson!

“Let them all stay.”

Ivan Reed gestured, and with a squint of Luciano Michael’s eyes, he threw a punch!

Bang!

Then another punch!

The last two standing bodyguards hit the ground.

Already unconscious.

“As far as I know, Miss Thorneycroft was the only living witness to the original Cook Family annihilation case,” said Ivan Reed, looking at the people below, speaking slowly: “Therefore, I shall inquire with Miss Thorneycroft about the situation to see who the real culprit is!”

“Mr. Reed! I had nothing to do with what happened that day! I was coerced!”

Elwood Thorneycroft yelled forcefully: “This matter has already been investigated! The real murderer has already committed suicide out of fear of his crime!”

She had to rid herself of any suspicion!

Otherwise, it would drag Fabian Percival down with her!

If Ivan Reed were to focus on Fabian Percival, the only way out for him would be to return to the Americas!

Many years of painstaking efforts would be utterly ruined!

Thinking this, Elwood Thorneycroft gave Julius Reed a chilling look!

“Do you think I would believe you?”

Ivan Reed displayed a charitable smile.

He was turning the Buddha Beads in his hand and raised his hand to say, “Sorry for the disturbance, everyone.”

Having said this, Ivan Reed strode out.

Following behind him, Luciano Michael, with his men, escorted Elwood Thorneycroft out of Five-state International.

“Julius Reed, just you wait! I will make you pay!”

As she passed by the doorway, Elwood Thorneycroft said to Julius Reed with a vicious tone.

The whole situation had been a trap set by Julius Reed.

If it came to it, and she had to tell the truth,

she would take Julius Reed down with her in her dying breath!

Elwood Thorneycroft did not believe Julius Reed could survive under Ivan Reed’s men!

“I’ll be waiting.”

Julius Reed made a victorious gesture, casually saying to the table, “I have something to deal with; you guys eat first.”

After Ivan Reed’s people had left, Julius Reed headed to his Rolls-Royce parked outside.

He took out his phone and called Cosmo, who was living in the bungalow.

A moment later, the call was answered.

“Cosmo, keep a close watch on Elwood Thorneycroft. If anyone tries to kill her, let me know immediately!”

“Do you want me to take her out?”

Cosmo asked over the phone.

“No need, just keep a close watch! I have big plans for this person.”

After giving the instructions, Julius Reed hung up the phone.

“Fabian Percival, I really want to see how capable the person behind you is!”

The last tussle at the mountaintop, with the appearance of the Iron Armor, again disrupted Julius Reed’s thoughts.

It made his previously somewhat clear speculations once again plunge into chaos.

Now.

He wanted to use this opportunity to catch the traitors within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, one by one!
