Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Visiting
While in the car, Julius Reed made a call to Sophia Leocadia.
He preemptively informed her of his plans to visit the Leocadia Family.
The old master had been transferred out of the hospital due to the severe nature of his condition.
The Leocadia family had spared no expense in hiring top doctors from both home and abroad to take turns watching over Old Master Leocadia.
The children of the Leocadia family were also all guarding the old master’s bedside, ensuring that no one could tamper with anything.
Yet, even so, the old master’s health continued to deteriorate day by day.
According to the doctors, he could live at most until January 15.
But since the old master’s will had not yet been made, this caused further turmoil in the already restless Leocadia family.
After the banquet in Moon City, Daphne Leocadia, Sophia’s father, was very supportive of Julius Reed coming to treat him.
And he was grateful.
When Sophia heard that Julius Reed was coming, she was overjoyed.
There was both the excitement of her grandfather possibly being cured and a little anticipation.
Every young girl has a secret in her heart that she cannot tell.
She knew.
Julius Reed had yet to remember that he was the little girl who had been saved back then. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
But what does that matter?
However, it was clear that someone in the Leocadia family did not want the old master to wake up.
After receiving the news, the number of guards at the door doubled.
And they were all equipped with electric batons, ready for a major battle.
At this moment.
Inside a study room of the Leocadia family.
Natalia Leocadia paced back and forth, looking very anxious.
"Has Beckett Carmichael arrived yet?"
He asked aloud.
"No, CEO Carmichael is currently negotiating business,"
a black man said, "My men have been watching him, and CEO Carmichael is still in the Abernathy Group building, he hasn’t come out."
"Brother, since Jennifer Lopez’s death, Beckett Carmichael’s status in the capital has soared,"
Adele Leocadia approached Natalia Leocadia and spoke in a low voice, "Now many are renewing their collaborations with the Carmichael family, the situation is unfavorable!"
"Hmph!"
Natalia Leocadia snorted, "First creating chaos at Nikodem Lee’s funeral and then disrupting Jennifer Lopez’s wedding. And now he’s still safe, how do you think the capital views Beckett Carmichael?"
"This..."
Adele Leocadia was at a loss for words.
"When you create chaos, people might think you’re foolish, but if you remain safe and manage to beat those you intended to, you’re considered tough!"
Saying this, Natalia Leocadia raised a thumb, "Find an opportunity, arrange a few assassinations, and dampen old Carmichael’s edge!"
"Understood! I’ll get on it right away!"
Adele Leocadia nodded and turned to leave, but was called back again.
"Jennifer Lopez’s husband, what was his name again..."
"Nathanael Warm!"
Adele Leocadia answered.
"Right, find that Nathanael Warm, help him seek revenge. Like, accidentally reveal Julius Reed’s whereabouts, or someone close to Julius Reed..."
Natalia Leocadia said casually, "Just make sure not to expose our identity, providing information will suffice."
"Brilliant!"
Adele Leocadia raised his thumb, admiration filling his eyes, "Boss, this strategy of borrowing a knife to kill someone is simply genius!"
"Such a sharp knife, it would be a pity not to use it."
Natalia Leocadia had heard of Nathanael Warm’s capabilities.
Capable of killing the Azure Dragon, helping Jennifer Lopez seize the family business, he must be quite formidable.
With Terry Moore and Karen no longer trustworthy, he had to use another’s knife to kill his enemy.
"I will send someone to arrange it right away!"
Adele Leocadia turned and left.
Within the Leocadia family, he was a staunch supporter of Natalia Leocadia.
"Boss, if that young man comes later, what should we do?"
the black man asked.
Since Terry Moore lost his trust, Natalia Leocadia had spent a high price to bring in this top foreign bodyguard.
Rufus Bay.
Rufus Bay is a name a Black man gave himself after flipping through half a dictionary and finally picking the characters for "expensively" and "item."
It was only after the guidance of a master that he changed it to Rufus Bay.
Abroad, Rufus Bay was skillful and had been the gold medalist in several national karate competitions.
Besides, he had another identity.
That was as the senior disciple of the California Shadow Gate elder.
Shadow Gate held significant influence in California, almost dominating the martial arts world.
This time, it had taken Natalia Leocadia a whole year and three hundred million US dollars to bring Rufus Bay here.
She placed great expectations on him.
"Attack!"
Natalia Leocadia turned and sat in her chair, a playful expression on her face, "Now, I am the acting Family Head of the Leocadia Family! Without my permission, no one shall even think about stepping through this door!"
"But what if it’s your brother, or the little princess..."
Rufus Bay’s eyes kept darting around.
"Your money, I paid it! You only need to answer to me; you don’t need to worry about anything else. If they have complaints, let them come to me."
Natalia Leocadia stroked her hair, looking rather smug, "What worries me the most is that Beckett Carmichael might charge through the Lee Family’s front door just as he did before! But, the Leocadia family is not comparable to the Lee Family!"
"Rest easy, my boss."
Rufus Bay twisted his neck, cracking his knuckles loudly, "I’ll make him look for his teeth and leave here in disgrace."
Having said that, he turned and walked toward the grand entrance of the Leocadia family mansion.
Unlike Natalia Leocadia.
Sophia Leocadia was wearing a white dress today, swirling around the room like a little princess.
From their reunion at the birthday feast earlier this year to later when Julius Reed agreed to come to Moon City.
And now he had indeed arrived at the Leocadia family.
Sophia Leocadia was feeling very conflicted.
The Leocadia family was now murky waters.
She both hoped Julius Reed would break the impasse and did not want him to get hurt.
This undercurrent made her uneasy every single night.
But hearing that this man was coming, her mood lightened considerably.
At the entrance of the Leocadia family mansion now.
Rufus Bay put on sunglasses and led a group of bodyguards, ready for confrontation.
The directive from above was, as long as no lives were lost, they could fight all they wanted.
In his first battle in Hua Xia, Rufus Bay intended to prove his strength.
He also took this opportunity to show the Leocadia family bodyguards his skills.
After all, the position of this squad leader originally belonged to Terry Moore.
Now that he had been parachuted in, it was inevitable that some people would be displeased.
Not far off.
A line of cars slowly drove up.
"Brother Davenport, it seems the Leocadia Family does not plan to let us in!"
Eli Yarrow pointed at the roadblocks and a group of bodyguards in black uniforms, speaking anxiously.
The Leocadia family was not like the Lee family, and he was not Beckett Carmichael.
Back then, Beckett Carmichael had the audacity to bulldoze the Lee Family’s front gate, but he did not have the guts to do that.
"Who can stop us?"
Julius Reed pointed at the bodyguards standing ready in front of him, "This is the only way! Push through, and don’t worry about the consequences."
"Understood!"
With those words, Eli Yarrow felt fearless.
Crashing into the Leocadia mansion was thrilling to even think about!
He had thought that following Beckett Carmichael around was arrogant enough, but now he realized that those were just minor skirmishes.
"Stop!"
As the black sedan drove up to the Leocadia family’s front gate, two bodyguards approached, gesturing for the car to stop.
"From now on."
Julius Reed looked at Eli Yarrow beside him, "This car has only an accelerator, no brakes!"
"Got it!"
Eli Yarrow chuckled and slammed on the gas!
