Chapter 826: Chapter 826 Poison Gas Bomb
Julius Reed had just left when Parikshit Ellsworth entered Santiago Carmichael’s house with his men.
He had almost died a moment ago and now cherished life all the more.
He dared not disbelieve Julius Reed’s words!
The kind of person who could make Eli Yarrow bow and scrape wasn’t common in the capital.
Especially that sentence...
"Bring out your vigor, energy, and spirit!"
He was going to the Leocadia Family.
The Leocadia Family was also one of the four great families, on par with the Carmichael family.
Daring to utter such arrogant words truly instilled some fear in Parikshit Ellsworth.
He decided to go personally and stay with Santiago Carmichael for a day.
"Brother Ellsworth!"
Seeing Parikshit Ellsworth come in, Cedric Abernathy cried out in pain.
He finally saw hope.
But in his eyes, there was also a flash of malevolence.
"You old geezer! Today is the day you die!"
Santiago Carmichael’s chair was still pressing on Cedric Abernathy’s wrist, causing him excruciating pain.
His legs were already broken, and now with his hands injured as well, Cedric Abernathy was almost at his limit.
"Cedric Abernathy, you..."
Parikshit Ellsworth was stunned.
He had heard that Cedric Abernathy had been beaten, but he hadn’t expected the injuries to be so severe.
The legs were already useless.
His complexion was pale, without a hint of blood.
"Brother Ellsworth, kill this old geezer!"
Cedric Abernathy cried out in agony.
"Damn it! You’ve killed me!"
Parikshit Ellsworth touched the blood on his nose, extending his right hand.
His employees, knowing what he wanted, handed him a steel pipe.
"Haha! Santiago Carmichael, you old immortal! How dare you lay your hands on me...ssss!"
Cedric Abernathy gasped in pain, but his eyes held a longing for revenge.
He believed Parikshit Ellsworth had come to avenge him.
In fact, five minutes before, that was exactly what Parikshit Ellsworth had in mind.
But now, even if it were against himself, he didn’t dare to harm a single hair on Santiago Carmichael’s head!
"Cedric Abernathy!"
Parikshit Ellsworth shouted loudly!
"Brother, I’m here."
Cedric Abernathy pointed to his wrist, "Brother, get rid of this old immortal first, my hand’s about to break!"
"Then let it break!"
Parikshit Ellsworth coldly walked over.
"What? Ah..."
Crack!
Before Cedric Abernathy could react, Parikshit Ellsworth smashed the steel pipe down!
It directly broke Cedric Abernathy’s arm!
Santiago Carmichael was stunned.
He too thought these men had come to trouble him.
"You guys..."
"Mr. Carmichael, we were wrong, we had many misunderstandings before, please forgive us!"
Throwing the steel pipe aside, Parikshit Ellsworth hurriedly went over and took Santiago Carmichael’s hand, "Your composure is extraordinary, sir. We were blind before and always caused trouble for you and your neighbors."
"You...are not here for revenge on his behalf?"
Santiago Carmichael was a bit bewildered.
He knew Parikshit Ellsworth, Cedric Abernathy’s boss.
A man who endangered the community and had a notorious reputation.
Only today...
Just then, an old lady on the bed groaned a few times.
"Gag Cedric Abernathy’s mouth! His wailing here is disturbing the old lady!"
Parikshit Ellsworth yelled, and his employees, understanding the order, took off their shoes and stuffed their socks into Cedric Abernathy’s mouth.
Cedric Abernathy, already in unbearable pain and screaming, felt something stuffed into his mouth and bit down instinctively.
The next moment.
He widened his eyes and passed out.
"Kellan Dragon, get the hell out!"
Parikshit Ellsworth furrowed his brow, clutching his nose, almost vomiting.
"Damn... Kellan Dragon, is your water supply cut off or something..."
Everyone pinched their noses and frantically threw both Kellan Dragon and Cedric Abernathy out.
While Santiago Carmichael also opened the window and took out a wet towel, soaked it in water for a while, and placed it on the old woman’s nose.
"Damn, a gas bomb! That’s what this is."
Parikshit Ellsworth calmed down and moved closer to explain to Santiago Carmichael, "Mr. Carmichael, we were wrong before, but after Brother Davenport explained things to us, we realized our mistake!"
He knelt down with a thud, "From now on, you are my father."
Saving his life was the priority!
If Santiago Carmichael didn’t forgive him, he really worried the young man would take his life.
"Young man, are you running a fever?"
Santiago Carmichael leaned in and gently touched Parikshit Ellsworth’s forehead.
It was quite hot.
But he was beaten up.
"Hurry to the hospital."
He sighed.
"No! Santiago, I’m not running a fever!"
Parikshit Ellsworth approached and hugged Santiago Carmichael’s thigh tightly, "Santiago, as long as you don’t hold this against me, I’ll be your son from now on!"
"Alright, alright! I’m an old man on his deathbed, what do I have to hold against you all."
Santiago Carmichael was confused, but at least he was safe, which he considered fortunate.
"Eli, we’ve got trouble!"
Right then, a young guy rushed in, gasping for air, "A bunch of menacing people just arrived outside!"
"Who?"
Parikshit stood up, steel pipe in hand, and went outside, "Motherfucker! Why do I keep running into this shit!"
As he went out, he saw several youths leading a group of guys heading their way.
"Who might you be?"
Jasmine Leocadia furrowed her brow slightly upon seeing Parikshit.
"Huxley Reed, employee and bodyguard of Boss Reed, Parikshit Ellsworth!"
Parikshit held his fists together in front of him, stating his own name.
That was the protocol.
To prevent any misunderstandings.
"Parikshit Ellsworth? I’ve heard of you."
Jasmine Leocadia put one hand in his pocket and pointed at Parikshit with the other, "My father and Huxley Reed know each other; they’re both in the construction business, and my family has some raw material dealings as well. Just passing through, need to take care of some things."
Parikshit had heard of him because, as an employee and enforcer for Huxley Reed, he had some reputation.
The circles were that small, and occasional names heard here and there stuck in the memory.
"I don’t know who might you be..."
Parikshit asked aloud.
"Young Master Leocadia, Jasmine Leocadia!"
A young fellow spoke up to introduce himself.
A look of pride spread across his face as he spoke.
The Leocadia Family was a major household, and even Elvin Leocadia, a daughter who had married out of the family, was able to support big shots like Horton Moore in Abernathy Province.
The financial power of the Leocadia Family was evident.
"So it’s Young Master Leocadia!"
Parikshit’s heart sank; this was going to be difficult.
"May I ask, what brings Young Master Leocadia here today?"
"There’s an old bastard here who has offended our Mr. Leocadia!" the young man stepped forward, swaggering, "Mr. Leocadia is now ready to take him away. Please, make it easy for us!"
"What’s the name of this old bastard?"
Parikshit had a bad premonition.
"Santiago Carmichael!"
Jasmine Leocadia approached leisurely and shoved Parikshit, "Out of my way!" 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He was Young Master Leocadia; Parikshit was just an enforcer. The two were not on the same level at all.
"Santiago Carmichael?"
Parikshit was startled, indeed this was bringing up the very person he wished to avoid.
"Mr. Leocadia, could there be some misunderstanding?"
Parikshit took a step back, blocking Jasmine Leocadia’s path.
If he let the other side take Santiago Carmichael away, wouldn’t he be dead for sure?
Thinking this, he hated Cedric Abernathy even more!
What kind of trouble had he gotten himself into!
"A misunderstanding?"
Jasmine Leocadia’s expression darkened, pointing at Parikshit, "What do you mean? Does this young master need to explain himself to you?"
"No, I just thought..."
Smack!
Jasmine Leocadia, already furious, slapped Parikshit hard across the face, "Even your Boss Reed wouldn’t dare talk to me like this! Get inside and fetch the person!"
After speaking, he forcefully pushed Parikshit aside and led his people inside.
He wouldn’t dare to offend Ivan Reed, but Huxley Reed was a different story.
After all, being a sworn brother meant much less.
"Eli, what do we do?"
Someone asked.
"The Leocadia Family! Yes, the Leocadia Family!"
Parikshit clutched his face, rushing towards the entrance, "To the Leocadia Family, send a message to Mr. Reed!"
He slipped and nearly fell.
If he was late, his life would be on the line!
PS: I hope everyone will refrain from using offensive language, and if you must, direct it at me.
My slow updates have led many readers who are up to over eight hundred Chapters to urge me to post more.
Your requests for updates are an honor to me.
If nobody was asking, it would mean no one is reading.
Please, I ask everyone to show restraint and absolutely avoid attacking each other.
If you must direct anger, direct it at me; I will take the responsibility.
Those who have read up to over eight hundred Chapters are truly my supporters, even if our ways of expressing support differ.
Thank you all.
The adjustments are nearly complete, I will strive to return to six or more updates.
This afternoon there will be four Chapters totaling nine thousand words.
I bow in gratitude.
