Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125 The Night Fairy is Still Alive
Came in high spirits, left in dismay!
The delightful outing with the big yellow duck had turned blood-soaked because of an encounter with members of the Cook Family,
and it had ended with Palmer Cook’s death.
Aron Jackson stayed behind in the restaurant to clean up the mess, while Julius Reed grabbed a quick bite and led a few women back to the mansion.
Originally, he had planned to deal with Medicine King Valley’s affairs and then avenge Bamboo Whitaker.
The so-called prestigious family, the Cook Family, was nothing to him.
In his presence, they couldn’t withstand a single blow!
Hadn’t he turned the capital upside down just the same?
If he wished it, the people of the Cook Family would surely pay the price.
Today’s encounter with Laird Cook merely brought matters forward.
Nelson sat in the back of the car, pouting without a word.
Sulking.
She wanted to help Bamboo Whitaker seek revenge.
Although they often bickered and Nelson always bullied Bamboo,
it was all in jest.
Back in Gonzalez City, she had promised to avenge Bamboo!
To personally bring down the Cook Family!
But now, Julius Reed wouldn’t take her with him.
Nelson felt wronged!
She had been left behind in Gonzalez City.
However, with Quella Radcliffe sitting in the front passenger seat, Julius Reed couldn’t speak up to console her.
Feeling utterly helpless, he took out his phone and stealthily sent a text message to Nelson:
"The journey to Morwenna is fraught with danger. You’re not yet fully recovered, so it’s not advisable for you to accompany us."
Julius Reed had his own concerns.
Though Medicine King Valley had fallen,
he didn’t believe it!
A sect that had lasted for thousands of years wouldn’t just be eradicated like that!
At least the so-called Supreme Elder and many others still hadn’t appeared.
Where were these people?
Compared to the Supreme Elder, the dead Medicine King and the disciples of the medical and martial arts schools were nothing at all.
At most, it was just a flesh wound.
As long as the Supreme Elder was alive, they could fully restore Medicine King Valley.
But to regain the lost reputation would be much more difficult.
The most valued aspect of the sect had been crushed to pieces by Julius Reed!
It happened once hundreds of years ago.
Now, it had occurred again.
Subjected to such humiliating disgrace, those left in Medicine King Valley would surely seek revenge!
If he were to take Nelson with him, there would be some danger.
Buzz!
"I don’t care, if we’re to die, let’s die together."
Nelson’s message came through.
"I’ll take you next time, it really won’t work this time!"
After Julius Reed replied, he immediately removed the SIM card and threw his phone out the window.
"Julius, what’s this...?"
Quella Radcliffe saw this and blinked, asking, "What are you doing...?"
"Sigh!"
Julius Reed pointed to the watch on his wrist and said indifferently, "The life of a wealthy person is often so simple and unadorned, and also dull."
He obviously couldn’t say that he didn’t want to keep texting Nelson.
"You’re crazy!"
Quella Radcliffe stared blankly for a full half minute, then gave Julius Reed a disdainful look and turned her head away.
After returning to the mansion,
Julius Reed stood in the attic, lost in thought alone.
He had intended to avenge the Whitaker family, but he never expected the Cook Family to be involved with Medicine King Valley.
Especially Ian Cook—was she really the illegitimate daughter of the Medicine King?
Combining what Laird Cook had said, Julius Reed felt convinced that the Medicine King’s illegitimate son must still be alive!
Even for his daughter’s birthday, he had sent a great gift!
So what kind of weighty gift would there be for his son?
Looking at the stars in the sky, Julius Reed sat on the rooftop and heaved a sigh.
Lowell Tennyson remained a big trouble!
And that trouble was on its way.
There were also the Shumen and the Skyslaughter Sect...
Suddenly, Julius Reed felt incredibly lonely!
Enemies surrounded him throughout the world!
Through his long life of tens of thousands of years, perhaps he had played the Mortal World too casually.
In the future, he would surely need to discipline this group of petty people.
Those who couldn’t even line up to be his grandchildren dared to strut before him!
Moments later, his gaze fell on the Dragon King Ring.
This ring, it held many secrets ah...
At the same time,
Gonzalez City!
Beside a sheer cliff!
A woman staggered along the seaside.
With every few steps, she couldn’t help but cough.
She seemed to be seriously injured.
The woman’s face showed no sign of change, as if it always wore the same expression.
But on her back, there was a knife stuck!
Thousand Blades!
With a gurgling sound,
she violently pulled out the Thousand Blades, letting out a muffled groan of pain.
She leaned against a rock by the sea, gasping for breath deeply.
Pain!
The wound continued to bleed relentlessly.
The woman was already severely injured, and she was also suffering from excessive blood loss.
If she let the wound bleed on unchecked, she would likely die on the seaside.
"Huff!" 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
After a brief pause, the woman tore off a piece of clothing and pressed it forcefully against the wound.
Though not highly effective, it served some purpose.
At least, the bleeding had stopped.
Under the pitch-black night, the woman walked forward with immense difficulty, step by step.
Her legs felt as though they were filled with lead.
Time passed, unknown how long.
She arrived at a dilapidated warehouse in Gonzalez City.
There, a person was tied up.
"Huff!"
Night Fairy Gabriel Abernathy dragged her exhausted body towards the warehouse.
A slight smile appeared on her face.
From her pocket, she took out a key and with the last bit of her strength, unlocked the chains binding Lily Jorden.
Then, she collapsed to the ground.
"I’m sorry, I had no choice at that moment," these were the last words Gabriel Abernathy said before she fell unconscious.
She knew that if she truly died, and nobody discovered Lily Jorden tied up here, she would definitely die of starvation.
Or of dehydration.
This was the last thought that crossed her mind before passing out.
It was also the strength that had sustained her all the way here.
Lily Jorden was the one she had tied up.
She didn’t want an innocent person to die.
"Are you okay!"
Lily Jorden struggled free from the chains and pulled a handkerchief from her mouth.
She looked at Gabriel Abernathy, who had already lost consciousness on the ground, a bit at a loss.
The blood was still flowing.
"My goodness!"
Lily Jorden picked up the handkerchief and tore off a piece of Gabriel Abernathy’s clothing to bind the wound.
After taking care of all these, she gently checked the other’s breathing.
She seemed, still alive.
"Where am I?"
Lily Jorden rubbed her head, trying to recall.
She only remembered meeting Quella Radcliffe to report the results of her trip to The North Sea.
Then, after turning around, she fainted.
With this thought, Lily Jorden ran out to look at the sky.
It was not very dark; there were stars.
She surveyed her surroundings and figured she must be in Gonzalez City.
"I can’t just leave her to die!"
Lily Jorden turned around, lifted Gabriel Abernathy, and quickly left the warehouse.
Ten minutes after walking out, she finally saw the road.
Where there’s a road, there must be cars.
But being in the suburbs, Lily Jorden hadn’t eaten or drunk anything all day.
Her body was already somewhat weak.
And carrying the weight of Gabriel Abernathy made her even more exhausted.
Having spent some time in Gonzalez City, Lily Jorden was fairly familiar with the area. She took a deep breath and continued walking with Gabriel Abernathy on her back!
If she didn’t, the person on her back would die!
The streetlights had begun to dim.
Lily Jorden didn’t even know how long she had walked.
But it must have been a very, very long distance.
Just as she felt she could no longer hold on, she finally saw Julius Reed’s small western-style house.
There wasn’t a single taxi on the road.
"Ah..."
Lily Jorden shouted loudly, "I’m a friend of Julius Reed, help us..."
Finishing her words, Lily Jorden, overwhelmed by fatigue, hunger, and exhaustion, blacked out and fainted.
