Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Bring it On
Among the four maids, Julius Reed’s favorite was Isabella Warm.
Although she wasn’t as obedient as the other three, she wouldn’t easily defy the Holy Master’s wishes.
Isabella Warm was whimsical and quirky, clearly different from the other three’s somewhat dull nature.
This personality was quite pleasing, at least Julius Reed liked it very much.
However, four years ago, on the eve of the battle at the snowy mountain, Isabella Warm disappeared mysteriously.
At the start of the investigation, Julius Reed thought she had been forced to flee and was then hunted down by the people of Thunderpeak Hall.
But things seemed a bit off.
As he continued his investigation, more and more inconsistencies emerged.
In the end, he even discovered that Granny Xihua, the leader of the Thunderpeak Hall, was actually a subordinate of Isabella Warm.
And in the recipe for the elixir of eternal life, the blood of Isabella Warm was found.
There was also the mysterious Devlin, who happened to be one of the Seven Veins’ Sealing Pulse practitioners!
It seemed that Isabella Warm had been proven to be the Vein Holder of the Bead Pulse, the strongest lineage leader within Pendleton.
Pendleton and the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance were like fire and water, and every Pendletonian took it upon themselves to overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Could it really be, as everyone said, that Isabella Warm had infiltrated the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, even into his own side, with the intent to steal the Divine Dragon Tripod?
In collusion with Elaenor Wood of the Sealing Pulse, to poison him?
To overthrow him?
Julius Reed didn’t believe it.
He couldn’t believe that someone could hide by his side for over a hundred years.
Especially under such intimate daily circumstances.
If that were true, had he been living a dog’s life for thousands of years?
The bungalow area where the Bead Pulse resided was located behind the palace of The North Sea.
There were many similar buildings here, meant to accommodate guests.
At this moment.
There was only one woman in the room.
Devlin and Granny Xihua, among others, were nowhere to be found.
The window was open.
The early summer was hot.
And the air in the palace was rather stuffy.
The woman had her back to Julius Reed and was slowly removing her veil.
At that moment.
Julius Reed’s heart momentarily stopped beating.
With a leap, he bounded through the window and rolled onto the floor of the room.
The woman, sensing the disturbance, turned around before she could cry out.
A sharp dagger was pressed against her throat.
Looking at the woman’s features, Julius Reed’s heart raced uncontrollably!
It was Elwood Thorneycroft!
It was actually Elwood Thorneycroft!
However, clearly, Elwood Thorneycroft did not recognize him.
Julius Reed was wearing a mask made by Night Fairy.
His appearance had long changed from before.
"You..." Elwood Thorneycroft gasped for air, her body tensing instantly.
Such an unexpected scene had caused her a great deal of shock.
Even now, she hadn’t come to her senses.
An assassin in the grand palace of The North Sea...
Something’s not right!
Isn’t this the consort prince of The North Sea?
At first, Elwood Thorneycroft was unprepared, and having a knife pressed to her neck naturally caused panic.
But now, she had mostly recovered her composure.
"Your Highness the Consort, what is this..."
She chuckled softly, regaining her calm demeanor: "Is it the Divine Dragon Tripod you want?"
Outsiders all knew that the Divine Dragon Tripod was with the Bead Pulse.
But Elwood Thorneycroft never would have imagined that someone would dare to snatch the Divine Dragon Tripod in broad daylight in The North Sea.
And moreover, that person was The North Sea consort prince.
Other than that, Elwood Thorneycroft couldn’t think of any other reason that could make The North Sea consort prince sneak into her room.
"Was it the King of The North Sea who instructed you to do this?" Elwood Thorneycroft’s fingers lightly touched the dagger, attempting to push away the blade.
Being threatened was always an unpleasant experience.
"Don’t move!" Julius Reed snorted lightly, "I’ve killed the Arhat of Homicide, do you think I can’t kill you?"
Upon hearing these words, a flash of panic crossed Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"My promises made as the Bead Pulse Vein Holder are as solid as gold. Since I have promised to offer the Divine Dragon Tripod to the King of The North Sea, I definitely will not break my word." Her tone was disdainful, "I really don’t understand the purpose behind the King’s actions. But your conduct truly tarnishes the reputation of The North Sea."
"Who told you I want the Divine Dragon Tripod?"
Julius Reed sat in front of Elwood Thorneycroft, smiling as he spoke, "Tell me, what is your real purpose for coming to The North Sea?"
"To offer the tripod."
Elwood Thorneycroft frowned slightly, "If you’re not after the Divine Dragon Tripod, then why did you sneak into my room?"
"Of course it’s because..." Julius Reed’s mouth curled into a smile, "Of course, it’s because I covet your beauty!"
After speaking, he supported Elwood Thorneycroft’s chin with one hand, his tone full of frivolity, "I’ve always been curious as to what the Vein Holder of the Bead Pulse actually looks like. Unfortunately, you wear a veil and are too mysterious. Now that I’ve seen, while you’re no national beauty, you’re not too shabby either."
"Shameless!"
Elwood Thorneycroft was initially stunned, then she became furiously embarrassed, "As the son-in-law to the King of The North Sea, how can you utter such shameless words?"
Thousand thoughts went through her mind, but Elwood Thorneycroft never imagined that the man had come for her!
Could it be, to ravish her?
Could someone capable of killing Mad Dragon and slaughtering the Arhat of Homicide be a debauchee?
"Shameless, you say?"
Julius Reed put away his knife, his thumb lightly grazing in front of Elwood Thorneycroft’s nose.
"Under heaven, who knows how many people wish to see the face of the Bead Pulse Vein Holder." He stood up, and in one swift motion, picked up Elwood Thorneycroft, "Today, I want not only to see, but to also taste the fragrance of your kiss."
"You’re despicable! As the son-in-law to the King of The North Sea, how could you stoop so low! Are you not afraid that if I speak of this, the King will personally kill you? Tonight, you and Princess Baylor Davenport are to be married!"
Elwood Thorneycroft’s face turned red, but she had no strength at all in her body.
She wanted to struggle, but she couldn’t move.
Absolute Dust...
At this moment, Elwood Thorneycroft finally panicked.
"What have you done to me?" She gasped for air, her heartbeat suddenly racing.
"The Knockout Drug used by debauchees, don’t you know?" Julius Reed laughed lightly, "Scream. The louder you scream, the more excited I get."
"Bastard! Shameless!"
Elwood Thorneycroft was filled with hatred, her feelings of panic and helplessness flooding in.
She was thrown onto the large bed, unable to move at all.
"Do you not like looking at me?"
Julius Reed stood at the head of the bed, speaking with a smile.
"I want to kill you!" Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes were red with rage, her words almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"Well then, you won’t have to see me now."
Julius Reed leaned forward, flipping Elwood Thorneycroft over.
"What are you going to do!" Elwood Thorneycroft screamed in terror.
"Guess? Since you can’t see, just pretend nothing is happening."
Slash!
The moment his words fell, Julius Reed violently tore open Elwood Thorneycroft’s dress from the back, revealing her pale skin.
Back in Gonzalez City, he had once saved Elwood Thorneycroft and sent her to a private hospital for recovery.
At that time, he had inadvertently seen a scar on Elwood Thorneycroft’s back.
Now, that scar was still there.
It was real.
With the existence of the Night Fairy, Julius Reed never trusted a person’s face.
At this moment, tears streamed down Elwood Thorneycroft’s face.
Humiliation!
"Ah! Laying there like a dead body, now I’ll grant you your freedom, that’s more interesting." Rarely encountering someone he knew, Julius Reed wanted to tease Elwood Thorneycroft.
He flipped Elwood Thorneycroft back around, his right hand making a light sweeping motion.
The antidote entered her body, and Elwood Thorneycroft finally regained her freedom.
"Girl, give your lord a smile!"
Julius Reed supported himself on the bed with both hands, looking down at Elwood Thorneycroft below him with a mischievous grin.
At this moment.
Elwood Thorneycroft was lying on her side when she inadvertently noticed a ring on the hand of the son-in-law to the King of The North Sea!
The Dragon King Ring?
That ring was unique in the entire world!
She narrowed her eyes, taking a deep breath.
So it’s you, holy master!
"Bring it on!"
Elwood Thorneycroft turned her head back and fiercely wrapped her arms around Julius Reed’s neck, planting a kiss on him.
