Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Pearl
Julius Reed left the mansion, heading to Copper Sparrow Platform alone.
It was still early, and Aron Jackson hadn’t even woken up yet.
Fortunately, Julius Reed had called Aron while driving.
When he arrived at the doorstep of Copper Sparrow Platform, he caught sight of Aron yawning.
"Big bro, what’s up? Aren’t we taking the afternoon flight to Morwenna?"
Upon seeing Julius Reed, Aron quickly approached.
His sleepiness vanished.
He was well aware that if his big brother was in such a hurry, there must be something important.
"Jensen Cook! The Poison King of Abernathy!"
Julius Reed strode over and called out.
Originally, they had planned to use Jensen Cook to deal with Horton Moore.
But Mark Jackson alone had already settled everything.
It proves that it doesn’t matter how capable one is, it’s better to be good-looking!
It’s the age of appearances!
"He’s locked up in my office! Big bro, should we take him out?"
Aron gestured slightly, mimicking the act of silencing someone.
With Horton Moore dead, Jensen Cook no longer held any value to them.
"He’s useful!"
Julius Reed patted Aron on the shoulder, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Things have been unusually quiet over at The North Sea. Thunderpeak Hall has been very well-behaved too! Don’t you think something’s off?"
There was no doubt that Thunderpeak Hall was still in Gonzalez City!
Devlin was like a shadow, omnipresent yet untraceable.
The North Sea was also lying dormant in Five-river Province.
Especially the Town North King, with his Northern Heavy Cavalry hidden in the woods.
Being watched by two tiger-like opponents all day long was rather unsettling for Julius Reed.
But these two groups were incredibly elusive.
"Maybe they’ve been intimidated by your actions in Medicine King Valley," Aron thought hard and could only come up with such a far-fetched explanation.
He was also puzzled.
Often the most terrifying thing is the calm before the storm.
"The North Sea and Thunderpeak Hall! They must be planning something big!"
Julius Reed held his chin in hand, looking at Aron, "Bring Jensen Cook out, I have a mission for him."
"Follow me!"
Aron immediately turned and headed toward his office.
Jensen Cook was locked there, where he received his food and drink.
After pushing the door open and switching the light on,
Jensen Cook’s body was covered in chains.
When the light turned on, he instinctively covered his eyes with his hands.
"Jensen Cook, we’ve discussed this before, you’re to become my dog."
Julius Reed took a pill from his pocket, pried open Jensen Cook’s mouth, and tossed it in.
"This is a deadly poison! If you don’t receive the antidote within ten days, you will surely die! Perhaps you could spend these ten days seeking a renowned doctor to see if the poison can be cured. But I’d advise you to better spend the time completing the task I’ve given you!"
By noon, they were scheduled to take a flight to Morwenna.
Time was pressing, and Julius Reed could only be brief.
"Tell me!"
After contemplating alone for a day, Jensen Cook decided that staying alive was more important.
Additionally, Aron had already informed him of Horton Moore’s death.
He had a very clear understanding of just how cunning this wealthiest man of Abernathy was!
If Horton Moore could be taken down, it was ample proof of Julius Reed’s strength.
As for avenging his son?
"I can hardly save my own life, let alone care for my son now."
"Now, I’m giving you something! Once you arrive in Five-river Province, you must make it known to everyone!" Julius Reed took out a pearl from his bosom, "Remember, no matter what means you use, you must make the people of Five-river Province all hear about this Treasure Bead. Moreover, someone will come to you, requesting to take this item away!"
"This is..."
Jensen Cook’s brow furrowed slightly.
It’s going to be tough!
"You’re good at using poison! Then go juggle! Make your skill of controlling animals known to everyone. Rest assured, I’ll send people to help promote you. But remember one thing, as soon as someone comes to you for this Treasure Bead, inform me immediately!"
After speaking, Julius Reed stuffed the bead into his hand, "You have three days!"
"Wasn’t it ten days?"
Jensen Cook was shocked in his heart.
Ten days, turned into three?
"Three days is enough! If it were ten days, I could have just randomly assigned someone to do the job, what use would I have for you?"
Julius Reed said coldly.
"Understood!"
Jensen Cook steeled his heart and started pondering how to make himself famous.
"Unlock!"
As soon as Julius Reed finished speaking, Aron Jackson crouched down and unlocked the chains.
"Go! Here’s ten thousand in cash for you to use as necessary."
Aron Jackson walked to the desk, drew out a stack of money, and tossed it to Jensen Cook.
"I was going to kill you, but it was my big brother who spared you; don’t let him down."
"Understood!"
Jensen Cook took the money and carefully placed the bead into his bosom, then turned around and left.
"I’ll arrange for someone to work with you, don’t feel pressured."
Julius Reed watched his retreating figure, speaking out loud.
After Jensen Cook had left, Aron Jackson asked curiously, "Big brother, what is that bead?"
"When I led the Wolf Cavalry to slaughter The North Sea, I took it from the crown of Everton Davenport. There was a time when it was the symbol of The North Sea. I can’t wait any longer..."
Julius Reed lowered his head, speaking wearily, "The North Sea, with the help of Night Fairy, is a major trouble! I thought to deal with it eventually, but now I have to do it ahead of schedule!"
One Thunderpeak Hall was already causing enough headaches, let alone The North Sea, which commanded heavy troops.
Wolf Cavalry was blocked at Demarco Mount, and although nobody could mobilize them, Julius Reed’s orders could not reach them either.
"Oh right!"
Aron Jackson suddenly slapped his head as he remembered something.
"Big brother, didn’t you ask me to find a Taoist named Frances Leocadia?"
"Any news?"
Julius Reed’s heart suddenly lifted.
When Frances Leocadia had sent him that painting, it turned out to be a portrait of Isabella Warm!
"Yes!"
Aron Jackson walked to the desk, gently opened the drawer.
"That Taoist sent me a voice message, I only received it last night." He quickly turned on a specialized recorder and began playing.
"Western Emperor! An honor to be summoned by you! And for that painting to be appreciated by you. The woman in the painting is a remarkable lady I encountered while wandering through the mountains. She was accompanied by a fat old lady and a thin, black-clothed man, standing at the foot of the mountain and speaking earnestly. At the first glance, I was astounded by her heavenly appearance!"
"Oh, right! The fat old woman and the thin man wearing a black hood seemed to respect the woman in the painting greatly. Not far from Northern Mount is a large valley! Within, there are many large and small sects. I blindly guess that the three could be from the local sects. Lastly, I wish the Western Emperor an early ascent to paradise!"
But this last sentence, no matter how Julius Reed heard it, seemed off.
"After my people delivered the message to Northern Mount, Frances Leocadia had this to say. The recorder only arrived last night, I feared disturbing your rest..."
Aron Jackson explained.
"Isabella Warm, how could she earn such respect from Granny Xihua and Devlin?"
Julius Reed closed his eyes, speaking somewhat painfully, "Could it be that what Eliezer Pine said was true?"
But now!
Demarco Mount was already in chaos!
Cold Nelson had been stripped of military power, unable to contact Eliezer Pine.
"Huh! First, I must go to Morwenna! Upon my return, I intend to investigate this matter personally!" Julius Reed raised a hand, hesitating, then instructed, "Send this pen to Lillian Tompson!"
