Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Tracking
He had no guard up at all.
The other party wasn’t a Grandmaster and didn’t seem to have any special skills.
He was just an ordinary veterinarian.
That sudden slap left him stunned!
"You..."
"What do you mean by ’you’!" Jensen Cook yelled furiously, "I told you, this pearl is not for sale! You come up here offering me $300, do you think I’m a fool? I’m telling you, this thing is worth $10,000!"
It was only after being yelled at that Kyler Reed finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out Julius Reed had tried to buy the pearl but his offer was too low, prompting the shop owner to drive him away.
And the look that man gave him was under the impression that Julius Reed had returned, naturally earning him no favours.
Thinking about it, the pearl was indeed valuable; $300 seemed like a lowball offer.
But that seemed to fit the character of the leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Despite ruling the world, he was miserly to the bone.
"Fellow countryman, hold on a minute," Kyler Reed said, rubbing his face. Luckily his skin was thick, so it wasn’t very painful.
"I was wrong just now, and I apologize to you," he cleared his throat and smiled as he spoke, "After I left, I thought about it more and realized something wasn’t right. This pearl is worth at least $5,000!"
It seemed Jensen Cook didn’t have much capability.
If offered $10,000, the other side might become greedy.
Now he couldn’t kill anyone!
Couldn’t silence anyone!
This was Five-river Province, in the city center.
The best approach was to buy the pearl first and also show Julius Reed who’s boss.
"$5,000? Not selling!" Jensen Cook shook his head like a drummer. "At least $10,000!"
"$8,000!"
"$10,000!"
"$9,000!"
"$10,000!"
"Fine, $10,000 then." Eventually, Kyler Reed pretended to be heartbroken, opened his phone, and transferred the money via electronic payment.
"Here!"
Once he received the money, Jensen Cook pulled out the pearl from his shoe.
It had a strong smell!
Kyler Reed didn’t even dare to take it.
He looked around and finally grabbed a plastic bag, packed the pearl inside, pinched his nose, and turned to leave.
He had intended to verify the authenticity.
But now...
The aroma was rich, and it carried a certain...
Kyler Reed had a cleanliness fetish.
Even when he appeared beside Baylor Davenport as Elders Victor, he was particularly picky about lipstick.
Once, a scarf got stained with some lipstick, which greatly displeased him.
Let alone something so vulgar!
Thinking about wearing it on his head in the future, Kyler Reed almost wished he could kill Jensen Cook!
Psychological shadow!
The thoughts of verifying the pearl that crossed his mind repeatedly dissipated completely when Jensen Cook pulled it out of his shoe!
After he left, Julius Reed appeared in Jensen Cook’s room.
In his hand, he held a chrysanthemum, half of which was dyed black. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
This was a secret signal.
Proving he was the real Julius Reed.
"This move is brilliant."
Julius Reed raised his thumb and casually tossed over a pill.
"Antidote, you did a great job, I’m very satisfied."
"Thank you!"
Jensen Cook swallowed the pill in one gulp, but there was no reaction.
"Mr. Reed, might you have made a mistake?"
He voiced his doubt, "This antidote doesn’t seem to work!"
"That’s chocolate," Julius Reed said with a smile and shook his head, "I never poisoned you. It was just a formality. If you don’t ask, I won’t tell; it’s something known between us."
"Ah..."
Jensen Cook scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Go back, if you want to seek revenge against me, feel free to come," Julius Reed turned and left, speaking indifferently, "But next time, I will definitely eliminate future troubles."
Having said that, he disappeared in the streets.
When he appeared again, he was at a corner less than 100 meters from the mansion.
In his hand, he held a display screen.
On the display, a red dot was continuously blinking.
That pearl was fake.
A high-end counterfeit custom-ordered from ’And Evening.’
It looked almost real.
But inside, there had been a tracker along with a micro bomb.
After Jensen Cook placed it in the shoes, Kyler Reed didn’t take it out.
In fact, if he had only held it in his hand to weigh it, he would have definitely noticed something was off.
"Good lord, right under my nose!"
Julius Reed packed up his equipment and strode towards the mansion.
The angrier he became as he walked!
The enemy had actually set up their hideout right under the Willson Group building!
And it had not been discovered!
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Kyler Reed was cleaning the beads.
He took a deep breath, put on a mask, then gloves.
He walked to the sink and took out some disinfectant.
But as soon as Kyler Reed’s hand touched the bead,
He felt something was wrong!
A real Luminous Pearl wouldn’t be like this!
The texture was off!
But then, he noticed that both the anti-eavesdropping and tracking alarm in the room suddenly lit up!
"It’s a trap!"
Kyler Reed first froze, then quickly threw the bead away.
Bang!
A loud explosion.
The blast knocked him to the ground.
Had his reflexes not been quick, he might have been seriously injured.
"Stop!"
At the same time, a shout came from outside.
"Oh no!"
Kyler Reed directly broke through the window and escaped!
Just as he left, Julius Reed fiercely kicked open the door!
"Think you can escape that easily!"
Whoom!
Julius Reed leapt into the air, following close behind.
Kyler Reed was a Grandmaster expert, extremely adept at disguising.
And his movements were unpredictable, especially skilled in evading tracking.
Just as he stepped outside, Julius Reed only saw a fleeting shadow.
"Report!"
He grabbed his walkie-talkie and spoke.
"Currently, fifty meters ahead of you!" A helicopter had appeared overhead, unnoticed until now.
Receiving this message, Julius Reed vaulted over a wall and saw Kyler Reed in a tree.
"Baylor Davenport, are you still okay?"
Looking at Kyler Reed, who bore the appearance of Baylor Davenport, Julius Reed did not know that this was actually the Elder of the North Sea.
"Master, I didn’t expect you to find me."
Kyler Reed, hearing the name Baylor Davenport, casually responded, "Since that’s the case, I won’t run. But, don’t come any closer."
"Give me a reason."
Julius Reed stood still, smiling as he spoke.
He and his opponent were thirty meters apart!
No one could jump a thirty-meter gap!
"Do you want to know what the North Sea really intends to do, or do you know who the Elders of the North Sea are?"
Kyler Reed calmly asked.
"Tell me." Julius Reed stopped in his tracks, genuinely curious to hear more.
"The Elder of the North Sea is the previous Night Fairy, Kyler Reed." Kyler Reed said this, monitoring Julius Reed’s expression.
"I know that!" Julius Reed raised his finger at him, "If that’s all, I might need to extract some useful information personally."
"You know?" Kyler Reed felt surprised.
How did Julius Reed find out, since Gabriel Abernathy had been killed by his own hands?
"My time is limited."
Julius Reed took a step forward.
"What about Ian Jorden?" Kyler Reed took a deep breath and chuckled, "What if I said Ian Jorden isn’t dead, would you believe me?"
"Impossible!"
Julius Reed spoke firmly, "I personally delivered Ian Jorden’s body!"
Any topic about Ian Jorden was sensitive to him.
"You forgot, with the Night Fairy involved in that year’s affair in the North Sea, he could easily fabricate an Ian Jorden as a decoy." After Kyler Reed said this, he pointed behind Julius Reed, "Sorry, your nemesis has arrived!"
With that, he vaulted over the wall and instantly disappeared.
Julius Reed quickly turned around.
A Longsword flew through the air!
