Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Bear With It
Deathly silence!
In the hall, there was deathly silence.
Dozens of Leocadia Family Members glared in anger, yet they were left speechless by the questioning!
As one of the four major families, as a top tycoon family of the capital!
Could it be that they didn’t even have one capable fighter?
Rufus Bay was pinned with high hopes, but he had no power to fight at all!
Natalia Leocadia spent three hundred million US Dollars to hire an expert, who couldn’t even withstand a single move?
These three hundred million US Dollars seemed a bit cheap.
Even—
became a joke.
Even Terry Moore, who would make less than one-tenth of that amount in annual salary.
"You..."
Natalia Leocadia’s face was livid.
As the acting Family Head, being questioned about his incompetence in front of Leocadia Family Members, his anger was unimaginable.
Yet unfortunately, within the vast Leocadia Family, there genuinely was no capable fighter to be found.
His greatest hope now lay on the ground, spitting blood.
Life or death unknown.
"I was invited by Sophia Leocadia, is there a problem?"
Julius Reed slowly stepped down from the black sedan and approached Natalia Leocadia, "Not welcome?"
"Heh, you drive straight in, do you even consider the Leocadia Family?"
Natalia Leocadia’s mouth trembled wildly, and with a livid face he said, "What’s the difference between such a guest and a bandit? Do you think I would welcome you?"
He thought his arrangements were flawless, capable of stopping Julius Reed firmly outside.
But unexpectedly...
Lost all face!
Paid the wife and lost the soldiers!
If it were anyone else, he could call the police or use the Leocadia Family’s power to punish them.
But unfortunately, the person in question was Sophia Leocadia’s friend, and supposedly the Divine Doctor who was to treat Old Master Leocadia.
Now Natalia Leocadia felt like a mute who had tasted bitter gall, with grievances that he could not voice.
"If I were a bandit, would you still be alive to talk to me?"
Julius Reed pointed to the steel knife in the hands of Beckett Carmichael’s bodyguard, "Before you even opened your mouth, your head would have already rolled on the ground." 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"You have quite the nerve!"
Natalia Leocadia trembled all over with rage!
After all, he was the acting Family Head of the Leocadia Family, and now at his own doorstep, he was being threatened and pointed at.
The fury in his heart can well be imagined.
"If you’re not welcoming..."
Julius Reed pushed him aside, "Sorry, please endure it."
"Come here!"
Natalia Leocadia, after being pushed like this, completely burst out in rage.
He beckoned to the Leocadia bodyguards, "Seize this man for intruding my private residence!"
"Who dares!"
Sophia Leocadia ran over, standing in front of Julius Reed, "Brother Davenport is my friend and also here to treat Grandfather. Uncle, are you actually hoping for Grandfather to pass away?"
At this moment, the normally sweet and adorable little loli glared at Natalia Leocadia with an air that was in no way inferior.
Even the Leocadia Family Members were shocked by this sudden change, all with their mouths agape.
On one side was the most beloved little princess of the Leocadia Family, and on the other, the acting Family Head.
The two faced off right in front of the Leocadia family members.
Completely disregarding the family’s reputation.
"Sophia Leocadia, are you rebelling?"
Natalia Leocadia, already bearing a bellyful of humiliation, felt his face burning with pain. His position as acting Family Head had no dignity at all!
"If saving Grandfather can be construed by you as rebellion, then today I shall rebel!"
Sophia Leocadia looked at Natalia Leocadia coldly, "Uncle, now if you say that Grandfather’s incident wasn’t your doing, who would believe you?"
"Sophia Leocadia! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare take care of you?"
Natalia Leocadia scoffed coldly, "Right now, it’s me who calls the shots in the Leocadia Family!"
Originally, he had wanted to free up his hands to deal with this little girl, but Fernando Lee’s terrible death threw his plans into disarray.
It was the perfect opportunity today to establish his authority in front of the Leocadia Family Members.
"Brother Davenport, you go see Grandfather, I’ll hold them off here."
Sophia Leocadia stretched out her hand, her face flushed as she looked towards the Leocadia bodyguards.
"No need."
Julius Reed turned around and gently moved Sophia Leocadia to the side.
He lifted his head, looking at the Leocadia bodyguards preparing to take action, and beckoned, "Come."
"Catch him, and I’ll give ten million!"
Natalia Leocadia yelled with red eyes.
He refused to believe that this young man was truly invincible!
"Go!"
Under the promise of a hefty reward, there will always be a brave soul!
A burly bodyguard brandishing an electric baton quickly charged forward.
The Carmichael family’s bodyguards had just prepared to move when Julius Reed had already kicked out midair!
Bang!
The bodyguard at the forefront flew back more than ten meters, smashing directly into the wall.
He didn’t move.
"Well, bring it on," he scoffed.
Whoosh!
Julius landed on the ground and gently dusted off his clothes.
No one dared to move.
The bodyguards that had rushed halfway seemed to be frozen in place.
Their legs went weak, their hands quivering like sieves as they held their weapons.
Was this even human?
More than ten meters!
How immense the strength must be!
Money may be appealing, but what use is it if you have no life to spend it?
"Attack!"
Natalia Leocadia shouted loudly.
Dozens of people remained motionless.
All petrified with fear.
Just then, Natalia felt someone patting his shoulder from behind.
"Who?!"
Bang!
As he turned around, Julius unleashed a punch!
"Too noisy."
After speaking, ignoring Natalia’s painful cries with a bloodied face, Julius took Sophia Leocadia’s hand and slowly headed towards Old Master Leocadia’s sickroom.
The members of the Leocadia family in the hall gaped in disbelief as the two walked away.
The Leocadia family hadn’t been beaten by outsiders for decades.
Ever since they rose to the position of one of the four major families, this was the first time someone attacked their doorstep.
"Go!"
Eli Yarrow led his subordinates and followed closely behind, quickly heading towards Old Master Leocadia’s sickroom.
"What are you waiting for! Go check on the Old Master, don’t let anyone tamper with anything!"
Natalia yelled, grimacing in pain.
This punch, Julius had already pulled some punches.
After all, you’re not supposed to hit the face. If you do, you should go easy.
The Leocadia family members were reminded and finally came to their senses, rushing towards the Old Master’s sickroom like a swarm.
"Brother Davenport, they say grandfather won’t make it past the 15th of the first lunar month."
Sophia felt a twinge in her nose as tears started to well up in her eyes.
She had a very deep bond with her grandfather and was especially upset to hear that Old Master Leocadia didn’t have much time left.
"It’s not yet the 15th of the first lunar month."
Julius gently touched her head and smiled reassuringly, "Take it easy, your grandfather’s illness will improve in a few days."
"Brother Davenport, will you save my grandfather?"
Hope shone in Sophia’s eyes.
"No need for me to save him, your grandfather will get better on his own," Julius replied with a smile.
Saving Bamboo Whitaker was a last resort; otherwise, he preferred killing.
"Oh."
A hint of disappointment flickered in Sophia’s eyes.
Had Brother Davenport run out of options?
The illness of her grandfather had been troubling everyone for a long time, and even renowned doctors at home and abroad were at a loss.
How could he possibly recover on his own?
It must be just to comfort her...
However, Julius did not notice the change in Sophia’s expression.
If he promised to help Old Master Leocadia get better, he would never go back on his word.
"Stop right there!"
As they arrived at the door of the sickroom, two bodyguards reached out to block the way.
"What’s your business?"
They were elite bodyguards of the Leocadia family, responsible for guarding the door to the Old Master’s sickbed.
Anyone wanting to enter, even Natalia, had to get the consent of at least three Leocadia family members and must visit in a group.
"To kill!"
Bang!
After Julius spoke, the two bodyguards only felt a heavy blow to their chests and instantly lay in the hallway.
