Chapter 1005: Chapter 105 Seeking Out
Julius Reed woke up and, after making sure Quella Radcliffe was covered with the blanket, he drove straight to the Ridge Family home.
He arrived at the gate at 6 in the morning.
Back in Five-river Province, the Ridge Family had already betrayed him!
Ever since the battle at the snowy mountain, Julius Reed had zero tolerance for traitors!
Especially the likes of the Ridge Family, who had benefitted from his kindness for years, yet still thought about stabbing him in the back?
It was time for him to reclaim everything he had once given to the Ridge Family.
The Willson Group had lain dormant for so long; it was time to step into the spotlight.
However, at this moment, Truman Ridge was oblivious to the looming danger.
He was immersed in the joy of extended longevity.
Wealth?
He had long lost any concept of it.
Being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he already had more money than he could ever spend.
But the desire for life...
Who wouldn’t want to live forever?
Even though birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of human nature, in the face of death, everyone has an instinctual fear.
A loud explosion made him tremble.
"What’s happening! Go outside and check!"
The sound came from the direction of the gate.
He had just seen off the Elders Victor and hadn’t sat down for even twenty minutes before something happened?
At his command, several bodyguards quickly rushed out.
But once they were gone, there was no sign of them.
"Go have a look!"
He gestured to his butler: "Hurry!"
Everything had been so calm, why were there sounds of an explosion?
This place was remote and very quiet.
It was like a hidden paradise, unknown to outsiders that there was a large compound inside!
A very spacious compound!
The Ridge Family was so wealthy that they could hollow out a mountain and build a mansion underneath, storing countless treasures.
Half a minute later, footsteps approached.
"Did you find out what happened?"
Elders Victor had visited at 4 in the morning, and Truman Ridge was now a bit sleepy.
He was getting on in years and his energy was not what it used to be.
"It’s been checked."
A voice came from the door.
"If it’s been checked, then say..."
Halfway through his sentence, Truman Ridge suddenly looked up!
Then, his body jerked as if he had been electrocuted!
The person responding was not the butler who had left earlier!
It was Julius Reed!
"You..."
Seeing the Longsword in Julius Reed’s hand, dripping with blood, Truman Ridge felt a surge of fear.
"Mr. Reed, you..."
He was at a loss for words.
"Let’s have a chat!"
Clang!
Julius Reed tossed the bloodstained Longsword onto the table, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups of tea.
He pushed one cup toward Truman Ridge and raised the other to his lips.
He took a clear sip.
Rising early and driving had indeed made him thirsty.
Once, he had been free of earthly desires.
Unbound by mortal sustenance.
But living with Quella Radcliffe these past few years, he had become like an ordinary person again.
Of course, the main reason was that Julius Reed felt that only by living this way could he truly be human,
Rather than a monster.
But how could Truman Ridge have any desire to drink tea?
The last person he wanted to see was Julius Reed!
Just an hour ago, in this very room, he had asked Elders Victor to kill Julius Reed once and for all!
Only then could he live in peace.
Whoosh!
A group of bodyguards rushed in from outside,
Along with other early risers from the Ridge Family.
"It’s you!"
Seeing Julius Reed, the Ridge Family members were all shocked.
It was in the Ridge Family’s main hall that Finnian Ridge had his face scalded by Cosmo’s hot water.
And afterward, unable to cope, he committed suicide.
Now, seeing their enemy, their eyes burned with hatred!
"You still dare to come?"
The Ridge Family glared at Julius Reed.
"I am here to talk to Truman Ridge, please wait outside."
Julius Reed said indifferently, holding a teacup.
"In my Ridge Family, you dare to..."
Bang!
The Ridge Family member hadn’t finished speaking when the teacup in Julius Reed’s hand suddenly flew out!
It struck the speaker right in the forehead. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Thump!
The person who was alive just moments ago now lay on the ground.
Turned into a corpse.
"Leave before I lose my temper."
Julius Reed picked up the second teacup, scaring the Ridge Family members to immediately back off.
"Mr. Reed, perhaps there has been a misunderstanding..."
Truman Ridge, having experienced much of the world, regained his composure quickly after a brief moment of shock.
He discreetly made a gesture, signaling his clan members to find the informants left by the Elders Victor and report the incident at once!
Meanwhile, Truman Ridge himself stayed to drag out the time here.
"A misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding."
Julius Reed looked at the teacup in his hand and chuckled lightly, "This tea, it must cost several millions to obtain, doesn’t it?"
"Quite so..."
Truman Ridge’s throat moved, speaking with a slight embarrassment.
"Stretch out your hand."
Julius Reed put the teacup back on the table and looked at him.
"Yes..."
Where could Truman Ridge dare to refuse at this point? He obediently placed his hand on the table.
Clang!
Julius Reed abruptly lifted the Longsword and chopped off his right hand!
Blood instantly spurted out.
"Hiss..."
Truman Ridge’s body trembled, convulsing as if electrified.
Pain!
The agony of a severed hand!
"Bandage it simply, you won’t die immediately."
Julius Reed took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and lightly sprinkled it on the wound.
The bleeding actually stopped.
But the pain grew even more intense.
Looking at the severed hand on the table, Truman Ridge’s eyes turned bloodshot, and his mouth trembled continuously.
At the same time, his breathing became more and more rapid!
But he had to endure!
"I chopped off one of your hands to remind you that everything you have, I can take away."
Julius Reed placed the sword back on the table and picked up the teacup, about to drink.
But he discovered that the cup was now splattered with blood.
Blood is dirty.
It can’t be drunk.
Just like betrayal, it feels disgusting.
"Yannick Ridge remembers Mr. Reed’s great kindness, never daring to forget!"
Even though one hand had been chopped off, Truman Ridge still bore the intense pain and managed a bitter smile, "My loyalty to Mr. Reed is witnessed by heaven and earth!"
"You really aren’t afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Julius Reed smiled at him and said bluntly, "I have intelligence that you once had a secret contact with a woman. Speak up, tell me what I want to know."
Back in Gonzalez City, in the Five-river Province, moving the Wolf Cavalry!
He suspected it was Eliezer Pine.
All four maidservants were absent from Demarco Mount.
Among them, Lillian Tompson was by his own side. Grace River had already gone to The North Sea to search for Isabella Warm’s whereabouts.
And Isabella Warm had long since disappeared.
The only one unaccounted for was the eldest of the four, Eliezer Pine!
Eliezer Pine was the only one who could move the Wolf Cavalry!
During the rebellion in The North Sea, it was she who rushed to Demarco Mount’s camp, bringing the Wolf Cavalry to drive away the rebels of The North Sea.
Among the four maidservants, only Eliezer Pine, who managed external affairs, had the capability to move the Wolf Cavalry!
According to the intelligence Julius Reed investigated, the Wolf Cavalry had dealings with Truman Ridge!
Especially the Boulevard League founded at that time, even Fabian Percival...
Fabian Percival had also made contact with that mysterious woman.
One could say that before Julius Reed went to the capital, this mysterious woman was omnipresent!
In every enemy he encountered, her figure could be seen.
Like a hidden mastermind, she manipulated everything.
"Now, start telling me, the information about the mysterious woman who you were in contact with back then. For every minute that passes, I will kill one of your Ridge Family members. Until all of you are dead."
Julius Reed once again picked up the Longsword covered in fresh blood, casually glancing at the Rolex on his wrist, "You have fifty seconds to think."
