Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Itai Huntington in Trouble
Julius Reed’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He always felt as if he were cursed.
Sitting at home, a pot falls from the sky!
"Stay here,"
Quella Radcliffe sighed, looking at Nelson with sympathy. "But you don’t need to act as a nanny, just consider it a temporary stay."
"No,"
Nelson stood up, wiping her tears. "If you despise me, I can leave immediately. But if you agree to let me stay, then I must earn my own keep."
"Alright then..."
Quella Radcliffe helplessly said, "then you’ll be in charge of cooking, and I’ll give you ten thousand a month, okay?"
Given Nelson’s culinary skills, she felt ten thousand was really not a lot.
Moreover, Julius Reed was wealthy, and the girl was so pitiful.
"You might as well go into acting."
Julius Reed said irritably, "You’re good-looking, and your acting is so strong, you could definitely win an Oscar."
"You..."
Nelson’s face turned red, and she burst into tears with a ’waah.’
"I encountered a scumbag, it’s my fault! I was blind, I..."
She cried harder and harder.
"Julius Reed, get out of here!"
Quella Radcliffe grabbed Nelson’s hand and glared at Julius Reed.
"Fine!"
Julius Reed raised his hands, his heart in turmoil.
How did this woman find her way here?
Fortunately, there was no confrontation.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
"Wife. Has Itai Huntington been here?"
The caller was Itai Huntington.
"Just left," Quella Radcliffe, holding Nelson, spoke. "I think she said she had some business to attend to, what’s up?"
"Nothing."
Julius Reed furrowed his brows and walked to the doorstep to answer the call.
"Widow, what’s up?"
"Is this Julius Reed?"
A woman’s voice came through the phone.
But this voice did not belong to Itai Huntington!
"Who are you!"
Julius Reed’s voice suddenly turned cold.
It was highly likely that Itai Huntington had run into trouble.
"Listen to her voice."
"Julius Reed, don’t come over, they... woohoo..."
Itai Huntington’s muffled voice came through the phone.
"If you dare touch her, I’ll kill you."
Julius Reed’s voice carried a chill.
Although he and Itai Huntington had nothing unclear between them, they were friends after all.
"To think, you actually care about her,"
the woman in the phone snorted lightly. "In half an hour, come to South Bay New District."
"I’m not concerned about her,"
Julius Reed said with a smile. "I just want to kill you."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
The voice seemed somewhat familiar.
"Wife, I’m stepping out for a bit."
"Where to? Can’t you eat first and then go, why the rush?"
Quella Radcliffe asked with concern.
Seeing Julius Reed’s expression, she sensed something was amiss.
"There’s a bit of an urgent matter."
Julius Reed put on his coat, giving Nelson a meaningful look. "Take good care of my wife, and I’ll consider making you permanent."
"Really?"
Nelson was ecstatic.
"Protect my wife well, or all bets are off."
Julius Reed took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
After leaving the mansion, he found the seventh son of Yorktown Family borrowed a vehicle from Beckett Carmichael.
Driving towards South Bay New District.
Itai Huntington running into trouble at this crucial moment worried him.
These people were clearly targeting him.
If the widow was implicated because of this, Julius Reed would not be able to forgive himself.
...
South Bay New District was located to the south of the capital.
Already outside the eighth ring.
The land was barren, awaiting rejuvenation.
The original shantytown had been demolished, and various large machines began to enter the site.
At that moment.
On an empty lot in the new district.
Itai Huntington was tied up tightly, a cloth gagged in her mouth.
Behind her, three people stood.
"Lily, I hope you can kill him yourself! Avenge your past disgrace!"
Nine Spirits was seated on the ground, pinching a ritual implement in her hand.
Her eyes, slightly closed.
"Don’t worry, Master!"
Lily Jorden was filled with murderous intent, her eyes bearing an unforgettable hatred!
"This frivolous man, I shall have him hacked to pieces a thousand times over!"
That time in Moon City, her clothes were ruined by Julius Reed.
Upon returning, she almost drew her longsword to kill herself.
Luckily, Christian Martinez discovered her in time and stopped her.
Today, the three of them had entered the capital, waiting at the doorstep of Beckett Carmichael’s home.
It happened to meet Itai Huntington.
According to information given by Granny Xihua, this woman had a complicated relationship with Julius Reed.
Indeed, now with just one phone call, the person rushed over.
"Junior sister, leave it to me!"
Christian Martinez’s face burned red, his body trembling with anger.
His own beloved junior sister, molested by that despicable man!
During their trip to Moon City, Christian Martinez was toyed with by Julius Reed and got into a conflict with the Casey Family members.
He was badly injured by the seventh son of Yorktown Family!
After returning to their sect, he was reprimanded by Nine Spirits.
Christian Martinez could not swallow this insult.
"Christian Martinez!"
Nine Spirits scolded sharply, "It’s not your place to speak."
"Yes, Master."
Christian Martinez hung his head, not daring to speak.
The air grew silent.
Only the sound of the wind remained.
"Lily."
Nine Spirits spoke, breaking the silence.
"I’ve arranged for people on the outside to help you, as it’s not easy for your master to show face directly. Be cautious in your actions."
"Okay!"
Lily Jorden gripped her longsword tightly, her eyes filled with a desire for revenge.
"It’s getting late, I and Christian will leave now, waiting for your news."
Having said this, Nine Spirits stood up and strode away.
"Junior sister, be careful," Christian Martinez said reluctantly, but he had to leave.
"It’s nothing."
Lily Jorden replied nonchalantly.
She did not like Christian Martinez.
It just happened that this senior brother was always trying to please her.
After the master and disciple left, ambushers equipped with hidden weapon boxes emerged from the surrounding bushes.
Their numbers were large, their weapons refined. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
These people were none other than the famed Starlight Group from East Asia!
Originally forced by pressure after their leader was killed by Seven Clouds at the academy, the Starlight Group sent people to the Eastern Continent for revenge!
They happened to meet an elderly man.
Using his unique methods, the old man contacted these people and proposed a collaboration.
Thus, today’s scenario was set.
"Nine Spirits, your female disciple isn’t bad."
Three kilometers away from Lily Jorden.
A man in a black windbreaker, wearing a mask.
A black leather glove held a cigarette as he leaned against a tree, puffing smoke.
"Mr. Devlin, is the plan feasible?"
Nine Spirits faced the man in black, her attitude very respectful.
"If I knew it wasn’t feasible, would I have made such a big display?"
Devlin flicked the cigarette butt away and crossed his arms: "But without trying, how would we know it wouldn’t work?"
"I heard that, in Gonzalez City..."
Nine Spirits frowned slightly.
"Let’s not mention the affairs of Gonzalez City,"
Devlin waved his hand: "I painstakingly managed it for many years, even paving a grand path for Sussex Hills. Yet, it all fell through."
When mentioning his old friend, his voice carried a trace of sorrow.
"Is Julius Reed really that strong?"
Nine Spirits was already a master, her spirit extremely high.
But facing Devlin, she obviously held much respect.
The reason was simple.
This was Granny Xihua’s most trusted person.
"Whether he’s strong or not, we’ll see today!"
Devlin adjusted his hat, looking into the distance: "Today, the chances of killing Julius Reed are slim. Let’s see if your disciple’s sugar-coated cannonball can blow him up."
"We’ve been setting this up for over a decade, Lily Jorden won’t disappoint Granny’s expectations."
Nine Spirits’ eyes flashed with fanaticism.
"Hard to say!"
Devlin stuffed his hands in his pockets: "If this doesn’t work, then we’ll have to wait for the Supreme Elders of Medicine King Valley to make a move."
"The Supreme Elders of Medicine King Valley are prepared to move?"
Nine Spirits, being part of a sect, was better informed than those from the martial world.
"Once they confirm Granny’s conjecture."
Devlin took a deep breath: "Thunderpeak Hall’s Brysen Beaumont, the Mage, will return to the jianghu!"
"But, many powerful figures are against Master Beaumont..."
Nine Spirits was well aware of Brysen Beaumont’s capabilities.
Years ago, the major powerhouses had agreed, should Brysen Beaumont intervene, they would prevent it!
"No one can stop Master Beaumont from intervening."
Devlin spoke with confidence: "Whoever interferes, dies!"
