Chapter 678: Chapter 678: The Disappeared Letter_1
“I must kill this Julius Reed!”
Gonzalez City, Northern restaurant.
Inside a private room.
Jay King lay on the bed.
And beside him stood Odingle Keller and Roosevelt Chide.
If soone saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked!
...
Chopter, who acted as the host during the day, was now standing respectfully in front of Jay King.
Changing his bandages.
“Chopter, your performance today has disappointed .”
Jay King looked at Chopter coldly, scaring the latter in such haste that he imdiately knelt on the ground.
“I’m sorry! Please forgive , Holy Envoy!”
His body started to tremble.
“Forget it. However, I hope this is the last ti you act rashly.”
Jay King took a deep breath, pain keeping a tense expression on his face.
“It most certainly will be!”
Chopter, looking relieved, gently dabbed Jay King’s wound with a cotton swab.
The scion of the Roosevelt family actually knelt on the ground like this.
If this got out, it would certainly rock the Aricas!
Yet Keller, standing close by, was remarkably indifferent, as though he was used to all of this.
“Before grandmother’s birthday, we must find the ingredients for the elixir of immortality. Otherwise… hiss…”
Jay King tried to turn over gently, but the pain made him grimace and grit his teeth.
Those two old n were too ruthless!
They were almost bent on homicide!
Had Jay King not been so vigorous, he’d probably be unconscious in a hospital by now.
“Holy Envoy, does such an elixir really exist?” Chopter asked, curious.
The Roosevelt family might appear glorious on the surface.
In reality, they served a mysterious figure known as grandmother.
The whole family was nothing but puppets!
But one thing was certain: they could spend money as they pleased.
Grandmother was very lenient when it ca to living conditions.
But as soon as soone disobeyed, the only outco was death!
“Do not ask about what you are not supposed to know!” Jay King’s face darkened, imdiately silencing Chopter.
“Holy Envoy, what’s our next step?”
Keller was sowhat puzzled, “Why did Julius Reed make it clear today? If he hadn’t said anything, we wouldn’t have known so soon that he was the one causing trouble behind the scenes!”
Jeffrey Lopez’s trouble seed unexpected at first.
Not until Julius Reed walked in and spelled out the cause.
Did they truly understand what was happening.
“He is deliberately pressuring us.”
Jay King sat up from the bed and scoffed, “He wants to make us feel pressured, panicked, to thus reveal our true purpose for being here!”
“So what must we do next?”
Chopter was also a bit confused; things had escalated to this point, their plan in Gonzalez City had already failed.
Staying here was pointless.
“Julius Reed wants us to leave, but I refuse to!”
Jay King walked to the window, looking at the passing ships and muttered to himself, “I want to see who between us will truly be king!”
“Please enlighten us, Holy Envoy!”
The two exchanged a glance and then knelt at Jay King’s feet.
“Tomorrow, continue discussions with Itai Huntington about collaboration! Show sincerity, act as if nothing has happened!”
Jay King said gravely, “The collaboration must succeed! Without the Business Alliance, our search for the elixir will be infinitely harder!”
“Holy Envoy, what should I do?”
Keller knelt on one knee on the ground, seeking instructions.
“It’s only right to return a favor!”
Jay King spoke with his hands behind his back, taking a deep breath, “Since they play a double ga with , they can’t bla for not being nice! You take so n and wipe out Aron Jackson, one of his employees, tonight! Make it clean!”
“Understood!”
Keller stood up and left the Northern restaurant without looking back.
No sooner had he left than Julius Reed received the news.
Since Orren Beaumont’s betrayal, the intelligence network of Gonzalez City had been reorganized by Aron Jackson.
In the entire Gonzalez City, any little movent, Aron Jackson could imdiately be aware of it.
“It seems they want to kill you.”
Julius Reed leaned on the railing by the sea of Gonzalez City and said with a smile.
“The boss jokes, but isn’t almost everyone who cos after doing so because of you?”
Aron Jackson sighed with a touch of resentnt.
Being his employee was far from easy.
And he hadn’t co across any good fortune yet.
Anyone who ca for revenge would make sure the first blade was aid at him!
“I’ve been wanting to ask you sothing.”
Julius Reed turned around, with his back to the ocean, and stared straight at Aron Jackson: “Why did you co to Gonzalez City in the first place?”
Protecting himself had always been Aron Jackson’s mission.
Until last night, the idea had suddenly flashed through Julius Reed’s head!
Aron Jackson wasn’t very familiar with him, and in terms of status, he couldn’t compare at all with the people of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Or rather, they weren’t people from the sa world.
So why was it that, initially, it wasn’t soone like Cold Nelson, a lord’s guard, who ca to protect him?
But instead, it was Aron Jackson, an ordinary person?
“Boss, what do you an by that?”
Aron Jackson was also a bit stunned.
“What do I an! I an literally what I said!”
Julius Reed was confused as well.
“Why did you co to Gonzalez City, why not just say it clearly?”
“Damn! Boss, wasn’t it you who told to co here?”
Aron Jackson’s eyes widened, sowhat in disbelief: “You were the one who told that you were the lord of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and that you had lost your mory, becoming incapacitated. Before your mory returned, you asked to protect you!”
“I told you?”
Julius Reed yelled, “What the hell! That’s impossible! I am the lord of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, I have both money and people at my disposal. Why would I look for you?”
“Damn! What about ! Three years, haven’t you been living just fine?”
Aron Jackson said with a look of grievance: “Boss, you can’t be so heartless! What is this, ungratefulness?”
Now, he looked just like a scorned woman.
“How could this be…”
Julius Reed felt a headache coming on, as he couldn’t recall any of this at all.
“How did you tell initially? Did you tell in person?”
“You wrote a letter! The letter said so.”
Aron Jackson tried hard to rember, nodding, “That’s right! At the ti I only knew you were formidable, I had no idea you were that formidable!”
Back then, Julius Reed had done him a favor.
So after receiving the letter, Aron Jackson left everything behind and went to Gonzalez City, fighting his way to the present day.
“The letter!”
Julius Reed stretched out his hand and asked, “Bring it here to have a look.”
“It said to burn after reading,” Aron Jackson frowned slightly. “Where can I get it for you now! It’s long been burnt!”
“Letter! Letter! Letter!”
Julius Reed couldn’t rember at all ever having written a letter.
Although so of his mories hadn’t returned, those lost mories were solely around the ti of the battle at the peak of the snowy mountain.
“Have you two argued enough!”
Just then, a cold voice ca through.
“Can’t you see we are discussing sothing here?”
Julius Reed took a step forward and in just half a second, he was about five ters away.
“Out!”
Thump!
He was holding Keller by the neck with one hand, and he directly tossed him into the river!
And the people behind Keller, even though they were holding boxes of hidden weapons, were already scared stiff!
Is this a human?
He’s practically a monster!
“Kill him!”
Keller struggled to surface in the ocean, calling out loudly.
He had originally planned to capture Julius Reed alive to earn rit.
But he hadn’t expected to be thrown into the ocean so suddenly!
“So noisy!”
Julius Reed snatched the hidden weapon box from the Shadow Warriors on the shore and hurled it at Keller in the ocean!
Whoosh!
The water was instantly stained red.
And the remaining people, as if they had seen a ghost, fled in panic!
“Now, where were we?”
Julius Reed threw the hidden weapon box into the ocean and returned to the railing to ask.
“The letter.”
“Where is the letter!”
“Burnt.”
“Who told you to burn it!”
“The letter did!”
“So where’s the letter!”
“Burnt…”
