Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Can it Still be Done?
Northwest Road.
Seventy-three kilometers along the Kyoto to Thaddeus line.
There is a fork in the road.
Heading north leads to the grasslands.
Entering the fork, there is a cluster of villas.
And the developer of these villas is none other than the Leocadia family from the capital.
At this moment.
Inside the largest villa at the top of the mountain.
Delilah Leocadia sat in the spacious living room, a smile on his face.
Opposite him sat Horton Moore.
The son-in-law of the Leocadia family.
Behind Horton Moore stood three elderly men.
The trio looked bizarre, dressed in a very unconventional manner.
One of them wore tattered clothes and had a flask hanging at their waist, holding a chicken leg in their hand.
Their hair was messy, and their face was filthy.
To those unaware, they might be mistaken for beggars.
But such beggars are no longer a common sight nowadays.
The other two wore similar rags, but each clenched a snake in their hands.
The snakes were dark in color, about a meter long, constantly flicking their tongues in their owners’ hands.
Their eyes were fixed on Delilah Leocadia and the others, as if ready to spring at any moment.
"Horton, introduce your friends,"
Delilah Leocadia leaned back on a sofa worth hundreds of thousands, his legs crossed.
His gaze constantly roamed over the three men, wary that the snakes might bite him by accident.
Behind him, the Leocadia family bodyguards were equally tense.
"Father-in-law, my trip to the capital is to avenge Alaric," Horton Moore said, resting his hand on his chin, a coldness in his eyes.
His wristwatch, worth tens of millions, peeked out from under his suit sleeve.
Displayed for all to see.
Many people have called him a nouveau riche and advised him to keep a low profile.
But Horton Moore never comments or responds to that.
"Alaric... Ah!"
A touch of sorrow flashed across Delilah Leocadia’s eyes at the mention of his grandson.
Love me, love my dog.
After all, that was Elvin Leocadia’s son.
When he heard of Alaric Moore’s death, the old man hadn’t slept all night.
He got up in the middle of the night and paced non-stop in the yard.
Until dawn.
"This vengeance must be exacted! Elvin had already found a top Shadow Warrior, it’s just unfortunate that person died at Brighton Lake."
As he said this, he felt a chill on his back.
Delilah Leocadia had personally witnessed the capabilities of Hades.
Even the hidden weapon box couldn’t hurt him.
Yet even a powerful figure like that, when launching a sneak attack on Julius Reed at Brighton Lake, was killed just the same!
The corpse sank to the bottom of the lake.
Ending up as fish food.
"That only shows that Elvin’s methods were ineffective," Horton Moore shook his head, raising a hand to point behind him: "Seven-fingered Beggar, Casimir. Abernathy Poison King, Marvin Cook, Lennon Cook."
"Are these three capable of eliminating Julius Reed?"
Delilah Leocadia’s brows furrowed slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "At such a critical juncture, if we take action, we must ensure success! Otherwise, if Julius Reed retaliates, we won’t be able to withstand it."
At Brighton Lake, Julius Reed had demonstrated his domineering power by killing Charmy Kims!
It was a declaration to the world.
Those who cross him, relentless until death.
Even the Martial Arts Association couldn’t save Charmy Kims’ life.
Would the elites of the capital have a good ending after provoking Julius Reed?
"Father-in-law, you worry too much!" Horton Moore shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain, "You people from the capital always think you’ve seen everything and look down on us provincials. But in reality, you’re merely overestimating yourselves."
Even in the face of the Leocadia family, facing Delilah Leocadia!
His father-in-law!
Horton Moore always had an air of irreverence.
"These three behind me are top experts from Abernathy province! If you don’t believe me, I can have them prove it to you," he said, resting his hand on his chin and looking towards Delilah Leocadia and the others.
"Horton, I am also saddened by Alaric’s death. But what do you mean by your words just now?" Delilah Leocadia’s face darkened, clearly unhappy, "I am your father-in-law. Without my Leocadia family in the capital, would you have your success today?"
When Elvin Leocadia married down, Horton Moore had nothing.
It was only because of the Leocadia family’s dowry that Horton Moore achieved his splendid success today.
It was precisely for this reason that the Leocadia family members held Horton Moore in complete contempt from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Elvin Leocadia, who usually bossed people around, treated Horton Moore like a servant on regular days.
"Look, here it comes again."
Horton Moore smiled and shook his head, having long since become accustomed to it.
"You Leocadia family members, always boasting about having three top scholars in one family. How many years has it been, and the Leocadia family can’t produce anyone noteworthy? My ears are almost calloused from hearing it!"
He pointed at his ear and snorted lightly, "What’s so great about the Leocadia family? These three people behind me, you couldn’t find their like throughout Thaddeus in Kyoto!"
As he said this, Horton Moore’s tone suddenly turned cold, "In the future, when you speak to me, show some respect. Also, I’m here to divorce Elvin Leocadia this time, to save your Leocadia family from further embarrassment."
From beginning to end, Horton Moore didn’t even once give his father-in-law a straight look.
He lowered his head and gently tapped the dust off his trouser legs.
The corners of his mouth quirked up.
"I clearly don’t deserve such honor..."
"Horton Moore!"
Delilah Leocadia’s brow furrowed deeply, her gaze filled with anger: "What do you mean by that?"
In the Leocadia family!
In Thaddeus!
Horton Moore was actually proposing divorce?
This was an immense disgrace!
The Leocadia family couldn’t suffer such a loss of face!
"No meaning, truly no meaning."
Horton Moore lifted his head and yawned as he leaned back on the sofa, "Your daughter is beyond my means."
Provoking!
Scornful!
Now, every word and action of his expressed his disdain for the Leocadia family.
"Horton Moore, you think you’ve grown wings?" 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Delilah Leocadia bellowed, and the bodyguards immediately surrounded him.
"Back in the day, when you were destitute, selling Power Pills on the streets! If not for my Leocadia family, would you have made it today?"
He pointed a finger at Horton Moore and stood up, his voice cold: "And now, you’re telling me you want a divorce?"
"It’s precisely because your Leocadia family has been kind to me that I brought these three here to Thaddeus, to solve an urgent problem for you," Horton Moore said, unphased by Delilah Leocadia’s anger.
"Although, it is also to avenge my son."
"With them?"
Delilah Leocadia’s eyes held a sneer, "Three filthy beggars think they can kill Julius Reed? The unparalleled experts found by Elvin couldn’t do it. Not to mention this bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The three men didn’t look the part of experts by their appearances.
Probably charlatans looking to swindle others.
"Horton Moore, you truly disappoint me!"
Delilah Leocadia snorted lightly, his stomach churning with anger.
"Some people don’t believe in you, what do you do?"
Horton Moore turned and smiled at the three people.
"What do we do?"
Casimir chuckled with a "heh heh," as he stuffed a chicken leg into his pocket and then wiped his greasy hands on his clothing, "This is what we do!"
Crack!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of a bodyguard.
He lashed out with a punch!
Thump!
The bodyguard was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall of the Leocadia family’s living room.
He lay motionless.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Dead.
"This..."
Delilah Leocadia rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn’t seeing things.
But he had barely caught a glimpse of the opponent making the move!
"Hiss!"
Before Delilah Leocadia could recover, two black silhouettes flashed past him!
Thump!
The seven or eight bodyguards by his side, all dropped to the ground.
Their complexions turned dark, and each one’s eyes were wide open, their mouths still displaying smiles.
Whoosh!
Another pair of black silhouettes!
The snakes that had flown out were now back in the hands of the Cook brothers, Marvin and Lennon.
Hissing with their tongues.
Deadly poisonous, touch and die!
"Does that satisfy you, dear father-in-law?"
Horton Moore walked over to Delilah Leocadia, who was already frightened out of his wits, with one hand in his pocket.
The other hand gently patted his father-in-law’s face.
