Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Poisonous
By the time Julius Reed arrived at the villa on the mountaintop, Horton Moore had already been at the Leocadia Family.
In the villa, only two people remained.
After dealing with Harvey Martin’s issue, Julius Reed planned to have a talk with Delilah Leocadia.
Yet, surprisingly, there was no one around the perimeter of the villa.
This was unlike Delilah Leocadia, an old fox’s usual style.
Normally, there would definitely be dozens of bodyguards around the perimeter of the villa.
And hidden sentries as well.
The moment someone approached, Delilah Leocadia would be aware at once.
But today,
the outside was indeed deserted.
Not a single person in sight.
But according to the news from Beckett Carmichael, Delilah Leocadia should be here at this time.
Could it be that because he went to check on Harvey Martin, the person had run off?
Since he had come here, he might as well take a look up there.
The Leocadia villa was on the mountaintop.
There was only one path.
The gate was wide open; the courtyard was spacious.
Julius Reed strode in as if he was walking into his own home.
When he pushed open the main door of the villa, he smelled a stench of blood.
Someone had died.
On the floor, there were still bloodstains.
But they had already dried.
"Is anyone there?"
Julius Reed called out softly.
"No!"
A voice came from inside the house, irritatedly cursing, "Scram, you woke me up from my sleep."
Lennon Cook and Marvin Cook, the two brothers, were born into the Abernathy voodoo family.
The brothers held a high status in their family and were acclaimed as geniuses in using poison.
In the whole Abernathy province, when it came to the skill of poisoning, the two could be ranked in the top five.
As for their father, Jensen Cook, he was even acclaimed as the Poison King of Abernathy province!
The Poison King focused on voodoo.
Unlike Medicine King Valley, they dealt with living beings.
Even inside Jensen Cook’s heart, there was a poison worm!
This was the Poison King’s skill.
When he spoke to others, he could silently implant a poison worm in the other’s body without anyone noticing.
A single drop of sweat could be lethal!
His whole body was toxic.
And the Cook brothers were naturally skilled as well.
Horton Moore directly threw three billion in to renovate Cook’s fort.
And by granting Jensen Cook the rights to distribute health products, he managed to get the two brothers to come down the mountain.
Now, after their long journey, just as they had lain down in the spacious villa and hadn’t yet had a good sleep, they were rudely awakened.
Could they be in a good mood?
"No one?"
Julius Reed slowly walked to the bedroom door on the first floor and kicked it violently!
Crack!
The solid wooden door immediately collapsed, making a loud noise!
"Damn it!"
Marvin Cook instantly got up from the bed and, seeing the young man suddenly appearing at the door, cursed angrily, "Blind dog thing, looking to die?"
"Bro, kill him!"
Lennon Cook stretched out his right hand.
From his sleeve, a black snake suddenly slithered out.
"Wasn’t there no one? Could it be that what I see are two dogs?"
Julius Reed looked on with a half-smile, squinting his eyes.
Snake charmers?
He had seen them before.
Having lived for countless years, he had even paused at the depths of the sea.
Let alone Abernathy province.
There, voodoo was prevalent, and the people were fierce.
It seems that the Leocadia family has hired new helpers.
"Hehe. Guests are welcome!"
Marvin Cook quickly gestured to stop Lennon Cook with a glance.
"Brother, let’s have a cup of tea in the living room first."
He signaled his brother with his eyes, and the latter immediately understood what was going on.
Death?
That was a relief!
Living a life worse than death was the method they were adept at using.
Seeing someone kneeling in front of them begging for mercy out of unbearable pain always gave Marvin Cook and Lennon Cook indescribable pleasure!
They wanted to be the masters of others’ fates.
"Please!"
Lennon Cook stood up, and the snake in his sleeve quickly retracted.
As if, it had never existed.
"You are too kind."
Julius Reed nodded and sat down on the spacious sofa in the living room.
An hour ago, Delilah Leocadia had been sitting right there.
And then she died.
"What is your honored surname, brother? What brings you here?"
Marvin Cook gestured, and Lennon Cook quickly brought over a cup of hot water.
When no one was paying attention, the black snake in his sleeve quickly spewed out poison.
After blending into the plain water, it became colorless and tasteless.
But once ingested, it would paralyze the muscles within half a minute.
Leaving one completely at the mercy of others.
"I apologize for my abrupt words just now, please forgive me!"
Lennon Cook handed the hot water to Julius Reed, his lips curling into a smile.
Drink it quickly!
He was anxious inside.
Since arriving in the capital, he had been staying in a spacious villa.
It wasn’t fun.
They were supposedly invited to kill someone.
But where was the person?
What’s the fun in just a few bodyguards?
It was hardly satisfying that Delilah Leocadia died, and it was Horton Moore who did it himself!
"Thank you."
Julius Reed picked up the cup and emptied it in one gulp.
Then he wiped his mouth with his hand and returned the cup. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"You’re welcome, it’s the least I could do!"
Lennon Cook smiled happily.
Soon, the young man might really need to thank him properly.
"Brother, what brings you to the villa?"
Now that Marvin Cook saw the other had drunk the hot water, he was very much looking forward to it.
It had been a long time since they had toyed with their prey.
"To kill."
Julius Reed said indifferently.
"What?"
Marvin Cook doubted his own ears.
To kill?
"To kill!"
Julius Reed repeated.
As he spoke, he crossed his legs, his hands resting on his knees.
His expression was indifferent.
"Big brother, are you joking with me?"
Marvin Cook said awkwardly.
The poison was almost taking effect.
"No, I really came to kill."
Julius Reed also wore a smile, his tone light and breezy, "Unfortunately, I only see the two of you."
"Haha! That’s truly unfortunate!"
Lennon Cook leaned in, revealing a sinister smile, "It’s not just unfortunate, it’s downright bad luck! You know, I’m going to make you watch as your heart is removed. It won’t feel good."
Once poisoned, even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t cure it!
Unless they had the antidote provided by the two brothers.
"You guys enjoy this kind of thing?"
Julius Reed raised an eyebrow, his body instinctively leaning back, "But, this is actually a good idea. I’ll satisfy you later."
Saying this, he stood up,
and straightened his clothes.
The two brothers were stunned.
The poison...
The poison hadn’t taken effect?
Marvin Cook turned his head to look at Lennon Cook, winking and grimacing.
And Lennon Cook also looked bewildered.
After so many years of poisoning, he had never failed.
"Ah!"
Julius Reed sat back down on the sofa, motionless.
His eyes staring straight at the two brothers.
"Look! The drug is reacting slowly, perhaps he’s a practitioner."
Seeing this, the Cook brothers finally relaxed.
"Kid, the tea I gave you earlier was poisoned."
Lennon Cook pulled out a dagger from his waist and sauntered over with a grin, "Disturbing my peace, I’m just going to carve out your heart, not too excessive, right?"
"Poison? What kind of poison?"
Julius Reed asked.
But his body remained still.
"Do you feel completely weak, muscles aching? Even wanting to move but utterly unable to?"
Lennon Cook gave a smug smile, "That’s because I poisoned your water. Anyone poisoned by it cannot move, they can only watch..."
Smack!
He didn’t get to finish speaking.
Julius Reed slapped him across the face.
"Like this? Why do I feel more invigorated the more I hit?"
Smack!
Another slap.
Lennon Cook was stunned.
"Do you feel a burning pain in your hands, maybe even a bit numb?"
This time, it was Julius Reed’s turn to speak.
"Yes...no! You! How did you know!"
Lennon Cook’s eyes widened, screaming in fright.
"Because I poisoned your teacup when I returned it."
Julius Reed smiled faintly, "Now your face will also hurt. Because your poisoned hand just touched your face."
