Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Meeting an Old Friend
Thunderpeak Hall was a very unique existence.
It straddled the sect and the martial world, with reach that extended to the heavens!
In those years, Julius Reed had to adopt the alias ’Mad Dragon’ and establish the Seven Clouds Academy just to search for the lost Divine Dragon Tripod.
Sects had their own rules, and the martial world had its own laws.
They could not be broken.
But Granny Xihua needed none.
Thunderpeak Hall was both a martial organization and a sect!
Everything stemmed from one man.
Thunderpeak Hall Mage—
Brysen Beaumont!
This seemingly honest and simple middle-aged man, if holding a butcher knife standing in a vegetable market,
would appear just like a pig butcher!
But when he picked up the Sevensoul Sword!
He became the undefeated War God!
Back when Thunderpeak Hall was rising, it had offended many powerful natives of the Americas.
But Brysen Beaumont, holding the Sevensoul Sword, made a circuit in the Americas.
No one dared to discuss it anymore.
And he,
single-handedly elevated Thunderpeak Hall to the status of a sect.
"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly for Lily Jorden,"
Nine Spirits clasped his hands together and silently prayed in his heart.
If this task was accomplished, she might receive Granny Xihua’s blessing,
tasting immortality.
If it indeed came to Brysen Beaumont taking action, then his decade-long nurturing of Lily Jorden would prove futile.
"Let’s go."
Devlin turned and walked toward a car not far away.
"Not staying to watch?"
Nine Spirits called out.
From this distance of a few kilometers from the site, if Julius Reed was critically injured, he might be able to finish him off.
"Do you know why the people around me keep falling, but I am still alive?"
Devlin waved his hand: "Because I always leave before the enemy can spot me."
"Go!"
Nine Spirits shuddered and quickly led Christian Martinez towards the car.
Boom!
But before they could get into the car, Devlin already left a trail of dust behind.
Driving away.
"That Mr. Ghost!"
Christian Martinez cursed irritably.
"If Granny Xihua hears you saying that, one hundred lives wouldn’t be enough for you,"
Nine Spirits said sternly.
...
South Bay New District was not too far from the Carmichael family’s mansion.
Eli Yarrow, an exceptional driver, arrived at the boundary of the New District in half an hour.
The winds howled all around.
A killing aura filled the air.
"You wait here for me."
Julius Reed opened the car door and put on sunglasses.
He looked forward.
A few hundred meters away, there was a figure in red.
Itai Huntington!
At this moment,
Itai Huntington was tied in an open area.
Weeds grew all around.
Without even guessing, Julius Reed knew there were ambushes nearby.
Stepping on the weeds, he walked step by step towards her.
When he was less than three meters away from Itai Huntington, he stopped.
Their eyes met.
Fear, panic filled Itai Huntington’s eyes!
And a trace of...
Affection.
She was not sure this man would risk himself for her.
But now, he was here.
Just like the last time in the villa, when she was drugged,
Julius Reed appeared out of nowhere.
Her hero didn’t have a rainbow-colored cloud, but he was still a magnificent hero.
"Wh-wh-what..."
Itai Huntington struggled desperately, trying to make Julius Reed leave.
Danger.
This place was dangerous!
"Shh!"
Yet,
Julius Reed smiled as he walked over, making a ’silence’ gesture.
Itai Huntington, who was struggling fiercely just a moment ago, instantly became docile like a little rabbit.
This man always managed to make her feel safe.
That kind of security that settles upon sight.
"It’s okay."
Julius Reed bent down and removed the towel from her mouth.
"Julius Reed, you must go! Someone wants to kill you!"
Itai Huntington cried out.
She did not want to become a burden to this man.
"Kill me?"
Julius Reed’s lips curled into a slight smile: "Who can kill me?"
"There are so many of them..."
Itai Huntington burst into tears urgently, nothing like her usual aloof CEO demeanor.
Instead, she seemed like a little girl.
"I came here to kill too."
Julius Reed clasped the ropes around Itai Huntington’s body with both hands.
With a forceful tug!
Crack!
The rope broke off directly.
And then!
Whoosh!
A sharp whizzing sound came from behind Julius Reed!
"Be careful!"
Itai Huntington exclaimed, her eyes wide open!
In the blink of an eye.
The sword was already within inches.
Realizing the danger, Julius Reed quickly turned around.
He coldly eyed the owner of the sword!
The sword edge was sharp!
Lily Jorden held the sword in one hand, her eyes filled with resentment.
"You lecher, die!"
She yelled.
The tip of the sword was already pressed against Julius Reed’s chest.
But it couldn’t advance even a fraction further.
"It’s you."
Julius Reed was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected that the person who kidnapped Itai Huntington would be Lily Jorden!
Shouldn’t it still be those celebrities from the capital?
Why would Lily Jorden want to find him and kidnap Itai Huntington?
"You..."
Lily Jorden’s face changed drastically!
She used all her strength, but she couldn’t drive the sword tip into Julius Reed’s heart.
She wanted to pull out the sword.
But the sword was stuck as if cemented in place, and couldn’t be moved at all.
"You are nothing like your father."
Clang!
Julius Reed’s fingers forcefully exerted pressure, directly breaking the longsword.
"What... what did you say!"
Lily Jorden’s heart trembled, her eyes wide open.
Her own father...
That was something buried deep inside her heart.
"I knew your father."
Julius Reed tossed the broken sword onto the ground, repressing his killing intent.
"And we were once good friends."
"You’re lying!"
Lily Jorden dropped the broken sword she was holding, her hands clenched tightly.
She stepped back while shaking her head, crying out in despair, "Why! Why can’t I kill you!"
She was supposed to be a genius girl!
Rarely met her equals.
In her sect, she was the favored daughter of heaven!
Out there, she had no rivals too.
But ever since the battle in the Gonzalez City bamboo grove, she had been haunted.
That fight, had been too devastating!
Lost, completely wiped out!
And now, the once murderous her, facing Julius Reed.
Facing this man she had dreamed of killing! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
She couldn’t even...
Thrust her sword out.
"Lily Jorden."
Julius Reed’s expression was stern, "Come with me."
"No!"
Lily Jorden’s face was pale, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I’d rather die!"
She was not ready to give up!
"Are you being used and still clueless?"
Julius Reed rarely got angry, "Your father was so spirited, but to think that his daughter would be so foolish!"
"Shut up!"
Lily Jorden cried out in pain, "I won’t allow you to insult my father!"
"I told you, I knew him."
Julius Reed walked towards her step by step, his eyes piercing cold, "Otherwise, you would have died in the bamboo grove."
He had thought that Nine Spirits would restrain themselves.
But now it seemed, they didn’t understand restraint.
Well, he would just have to help Nine Spirits restrain themselves!
"You’re deceiving me!"
Lily Jorden, tears reddening her eyes, picked up the longsword on the ground, "If you take one more step, I’ll kill myself!"
Her confidence was completely shattered!
She had thought she could avenge herself this time.
But who could have expected, another terrible defeat!
Couldn’t withstand a single move.
"Go ahead, die and see if you can face your father in the afterlife."
Julius Reed’s eyes narrowed and he suddenly lunged forward!
Snatching the broken sword!
