Chapter 831: Chapter 831 Proof?
Natalia Leocadia’s words were already at the tip of her tongue, but she could only choke them back down.
In her eyes, full of shock.
She had personally tested the bulletproof glass cover.
Even a heavy truck crashing into it hadn’t been able to shatter it.
After purchasing it, she demonstrated its sturdiness to the family members in the Leocadia Family’s large courtyard.
It was extremely durable.
But now...
Julius Reed had actually used a cold weapon to smash the bulletproof glass cover directly!
After ridiculing earlier, now her face burned with pain!
But this...
How is that possible!
"Manager Leocadia, what’s going on?"
Leocadia Family Members, after a brief moment of being stunned, quickly gathered around.
"Isn’t this thing supposed to be incredibly sturdy?"
"Tens of millions of US Dollars, and it can be crushed with just a knife?"
Everyone was expressing their shock, one after another.
Yet these people still couldn’t believe that Julius Reed could be so formidable!
They had personally struck it and witnessed its sturdiness!
There must be something fishy going on.
While everyone was still astonished,
Julius Reed was already standing by the sickbed, gently pinching Old Master Leocadia’s wrist.
The pulse was very chaotic.
A complete mess.
Julius Reed, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, would study these things when he had nothing better to do.
Unable to die, he was just too bored.
So, he would pass the time.
With such a pulse, he could conclude that Old Master Leocadia had been poisoned.
Moreover, the poisoning had been for at least half a month or more.
"Brother Davenport, how is Grandfather?"
Sophia Leocadia’s eyes held a glimmer of hope.
"Just as I suspected, your grandfather has been poisoned, and indeed, he does not have much time left,"
Julius Reed slowly put Old Master Leocadia’s hand back down, looked at Sophia Leocadia with a gentle smile, and said, "But there is still hope for him."
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing these words, Natalia Leocadia was taken aback.
With her face reddened, she tried to conceal her panic, "My father is clearly suffering from a strange disease, how could he possibly be poisoned? All of the doctors present are top experts from home and abroad, are you saying they are not as good as you? Are you a doctor?"
"That’s right! Many doctors have examined my father’s condition. If it was poison, why didn’t anyone detect it?"
"Nowadays, medical technology is so advanced, surely if my father was poisoned, it would have been detected!"
"This is nothing but stirring up trouble and leading people astray!"
Leocadia Family Members, one after another, rebuked loudly, anger apparent in their eyes.
The Old Master was the hope of the entire family, and after he fell ill, Leocadia Family Members quickly contacted all the famous doctors.
Whether from home or abroad, they spared no expense and invited them all.
All kinds of advanced equipment were arranged, yet they still could not ascertain the exact problem.
Eventually, they could only conclude it was a strange disease or natural aging.
As the situation deteriorated day by day, the doctors were completely at a loss.
Unprecedented, never seen before!
Even this disease attracted quite a few top experts from abroad to come and treat it free of charge.
After all, overcoming or curing such a challenging disease would certainly bring tremendous prestige.
But after just a few days, these people fled in panic.
It was too strange.
There was no way to begin treating it.
Whether analyzing blood or conducting various examinations,
none could find the cause.
A disease as puzzling as a riddle.
Unsolvable.
Now that Julius Reed was saying Old Master Leocadia was poisoned, it was like talking to a dreamer.
If it was truly poison, how come so many experts couldn’t detect it?
"When you speak, provide evidence!"
Natalia Leocadia waved her hand, and immediately the Leocadia family bodyguards closed the door behind them.
The atmosphere was oppressively tense.
"It’s easy for you to enter the Leocadia Family’s door, but..."
He turned around, returning to the crowd, "If you dare make unfounded accusations, be prepared to face the consequences!"
"If the Old Master is indeed poisoned, it must be related to us. You’re slandering the Leocadia Family!"
"Sowing discord! A crime worthy of death!"
"What’s laughable is that our little princess of the Leocadia Family actually stands with such people, betraying us!"
Natalia Leocadia’s trusted followers began to kick someone when they were down.
They all targeted Sophia Leocadia.
To the insignificant Julius Reed, whether he lived or died had no impact on the Leocadia Family.
But if they could use this opportunity to bring down the Leocadia Family’s little princess, Natalia Leocadia could monopolize power.
Just waiting for the Old Master to pass away, they would quickly complete the purge.
"Speak up, why aren’t you talking now?" 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
The Leocadia Family Members looked at Julius Reed with an air of assurance, "So many experts couldn’t determine if our father was poisoned, and you could tell by just taking his pulse?"
However—
Julius Reed remained silent.
Not a word was uttered.
"Sir, your words are an insult to our abilities!"
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign expert came over, reprimanding Julius Reed in less than fluent Chinese, "We are the professionals. In your ancient Chinese sayings, this is ’playing the lute to a cow’!"
"Exactly!"
A renowned Chinese professor also came over, removing his mask from his face, "Young man, it’s understandable to be young and impetuous, but actions should be based on evidence."
"If you can present evidence that convinces us, we are willing to take you as our master."
Another American doctor came closer, his eyes filled with disdain, "If you cannot present evidence, please apologize for your earlier statements."
All three were top experts, with considerable prestige in their respective fields.
With the help of these three to pressure him, Natalia Leocadia smiled even more smugly.
If Old Master Leocadia was indeed poisoned, it would be a slap in the face not only to these three experts.
What difference would those top-tier instruments have from scrap metal?
"You... Brother Davenport is just trying to treat Grandpa."
Sophia Leocadia said anxiously, but couldn’t think of a way to rebut their arguments at that moment.
Seeing her mess up, a smug look flashed across the faces of the Leocadia Family Members.
They were aiming for this exact effect!
"Young man, present your evidence!"
The blonde doctor came closer, sneering, "Prove to us that Old Master Leocadia has been severely poisoned. If you do, you will become famous overnight and you’ll gain three apprentices."
"Prove?"
Julius Reed chuckled softly, "Why should I prove anything?"
"If you cannot prove it, then apologize to us and the Leocadia Family Members!"
The blonde doctor frowned, his tone extremely unfriendly.
"Under the heavens, who is qualified to demand proof from me?"
Julius Reed looked at the three doctors before him and said coldly, "Now I have a question for you, are any of you poisoned?"
The moment these words were spoken, all three were stunned.
"We eat and live in the Leocadia house, how could we be poisoned?"
The Chinese doctor snorted coldly, "Do not twist the facts and change the subject!"
"We are as strong as oxen and get checked every day, perfectly healthy!"
The blonde doctor said indifferently.
"Young man, you need to pay for your actions! Apologize to us and the Leocadia Family Members first!"
The American doctor thumped his chest, "Are you trying to say we are poisoned? What a joke!"
They underwent checks every day to ensure their health.
If there were indeed any poisoning, it would have been detected immediately.
"You are all severely poisoned. Within three days, you will undoubtedly die."
Julius Reed let out a light chuckle, picked up the Great Davenport Night Sword, and prepared to leave.
"Nonsense, we—ugh!"
As soon as these words fell, the three doctors spat out blood, their faces quickly turning black.
In their eyes, there was an incredulous shock!
And inside the room, the Leocadia Family Members were shaking all over again!
They too had blood seeping from their mouths.
"If Old Master Leocadia does not wake up within three days, the Leocadia Family will be managed by Sophia Leocadia. The rest, all will be buried along with him!"
Crunch!
Julius Reed shattered the iron gate with a single sword stroke and strode away.
