Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
Chapter 1218 - 1218 1218 Welcoming

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Welcoming Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Welcoming The night had grown deep.

Julius Reed left the hotel and sat in the Donovan Family’s backyard, drinking tea.

Before him stood Dawson Carmichael and Nelson.

“People really do change with their environment,” Julius Reed remarked while looking at the teacup in his hand, “Back in the day, the tea I used to soak my feet in was many times better than this. But now, drinking this, it feels uniquely tasteful.”

After he spoke, he lifted his cup and drained it in one gulp!

So bitter!

“Although Finnegan Springs and Branley Sinclair have died, The North Sea royal court won’t let the Donovan conglomerate off,” Nelson said anxiously, holding Dawson Carmichael’s hand, “Mother, please come with me.”

Upon returning from the villa, she had thought Dawson Carmichael would be heartbroken over Finnegan Springs’s death.

But unexpectedly, after hearing of the news, Dawson Carmichael was very calm, even displaying a hint of joy.

It was only at that moment that Nelson learned the truth.

The mother and daughter, unsure of what to do next, had to wait for Julius Reed to return.

“The Donovan family has stood in Star City for hundreds of years. Our ancestral temple and tombs are here. Mother has lived here for decades as well,” Dawson Carmichael said lovingly to Nelson, “Daughter, I once thought I would never see you again in my lifetime. Now that I can, I am content. Besides, my father is old and cannot withstand much turmoil.”

Upon learning that Finnegan Springs and Branley Sinclair were assassinated, Dawson Carmichael immediately displayed her iron-willed side.

Within a few short hours, accompanied by her loyal associates hidden within the conglomerate, she removed all of Branley Sinclair’s people from inside the company.

In less than half a day, Dawson Carmichael had regained control of the Donovan conglomerate.

Afterward, she rescued her father, who had been imprisoned, and took him to a separate Donovan residence.

But to flee?

She feared that they would hardly get out of Star City before her father would succumb to the ordeals.

After a difficult decision, Dawson Carmichael decided to stay.

“No!” Nelson immediately objected, “Mother, if you won’t go, then I’ll stay too! If those damned royal court dares to lay a hand on me, I’ll speak to my master and have Azure Mountain confront them.”

Azure Mountain stood united, sharing glory and loss, extremely cohesive.

It was precisely this unity that made all the martial factions apprehensive of these belligerent warriors.

“The South Sea Saintess isn’t in Azure Mountain,” Julius Reed picked up his teacup, seemingly a bit addicted to drinking, “Even if Azure Mountain sends people, can they arrive faster than the royal court? Those from The North Sea are right here in this city!”

“What are we to do?”

A desperate Nelson looked at Dawson Carmichael, “I’m sorry, Mother…”

Feeling it was her last resort, she planned to knock out Dawson Carmichael first and then take her away.

“No need.”

Julius Reed slowly raised his hand, somewhat puzzled, “I’m here, why the panic? Do you think that those rotten fish and shrimp from The North Sea can defeat me?”

“This…”

Nelson was taken aback by the question.

It seemed to be true.

“But you can’t always be here, and with the royal court managing Star City for many years, if they take covert actions…”

Her biggest concern was that the royal court would send an assassin.

After all, Julius Reed had his own affairs and couldn’t always be at their side.

Furthermore, during the mountain villa battle, that elderly man was very skilled, thoroughly impressing Nelson with his defeat of her.

If there were several more warriors of his caliber, she even felt that Julius Reed might not be able to handle them.

That elderly man had defeated her with just two strokes.

It was the first time Nelson felt powerless.

“I have friends,” Julius Reed said with a faint smile, “This matter, let my friend handle it.”

“Your friend?”

Nelson raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised, “I know you have enemies everywhere, but I never heard of you having friends. Besides Amadeus Fairbanks of Willson Pavilion, do you have any other friends?”

“Yes.”

Julius Reed pointed to his own face, calmly stating, “Elaenor Wood.”

“That man enveloped in wicked aura?”

Nelson had an impression.

The one who cured Lily Jorden of her severe poison that day was indeed Elaenor Wood.

But Nelson also knew that Elaenor Wood was Julius Reed’s sworn enemy!

Two people at Shadow Gate had once engaged in a decisive battle.

“Indeed, it’s him.” Julius Reed nodded, tapping on the empty teapot, reminiscently spoke, “Another identity of Elaenor Wood is the genius Medicine King of Medicine king Valley. If I’m not mistaken, he is also one of the Seven Veins. As for which vein specifically, I’m not sure yet.”

I was poisoned, and it must have been Pendleton’s doing.

During that encounter with Elaenor Wood in Gonzalez City, Julius Reed learnt from him that Wood had once put a kind of poison in the medicine during a medicine contest many years ago,

one that would take effect over many years and cause memory loss.

No one else but Pendleton would do such a thing.

Among the Seven Veins, he only remembered Granny Xihua.

As for the other six veins, it seemed…

he couldn’t quite remember.

“Isn’t he your enemy? The very purpose of establishing the Seven Veins was to put you to death and overthrow your reign,” Nelson stood in the courtyard, confusedly asking, “Why would he be your friend?”

“When I need him, he is my friend.”

Julius Reed looked towards Dawson Carmichael, his tone much softer, “Miss Carmichael, my friend has just arrived in Star City, and I want everyone in Star City to know his whereabouts. Can you manage that?”

“Is that all?”

Dawson Carmichael seemed surprised, “The Donovan Family, with a century of legacy, can handle it effortlessly.”

“That’s good.”

Julius Reed nodded, pointing at his own face, “Half an hour from now, someone who looks exactly like me will enter Star City. Give him the best treatment and let everyone in Star City know where he is!”

“Your brother?”

Dawson Carmichael was curious.

The task wasn’t difficult; for the Donovan Family, it was a simple matter.

But in the world, aside from twins, how could there be someone who looks exactly alike?

“Of course not.” Julius Reed chuckled lightly, slowly moving his hand behind his ear.

“He doesn’t deserve it.”

With a sharp tug, he pulled off the mask with his right hand,

revealing the handsome face beneath.

“This is…”

Dawson Carmichael blinked, at a loss for words.

Is it a disguise?

Could this man be a supernatural being?

“I know I am very handsome, you needn’t be so surprised.”

Julius Reed put away the mask and glanced at his wristwatch, “Go ahead and arrange it, my friend will definitely appreciate my hospitality.”

Elaenor Wood was about to arrive in Star City.

Such a convenient tool, why not use him?

Moreover, Bright King had mentioned that Isabella Warm might be visiting Star City soon to meet with The North Sea King.

It was a perfect opportunity for him to use Elaenor Wood to engage the forces of The North Sea while he investigated from the shadows.

“Alright, I’m on it.”

Dawson Carmichael was extremely shocked inwardly, but having mingled in the business world for many years, she quickly regained her composure and went on to do as Julius Reed had requested.

The Donovan Family had deep roots and numerous businesses in Star City.

Fulfilling Julius Reed’s request would be effortless.

At that moment!

In Star City.

The suburb.

An old man and a young man were leisurely walking on the road.

“Last time, I underestimated the Holy Master.” Elaenor Wood, fanning himself with a white paper fan, spoke indifferently, “What a pity, what a pity!”

Just then.

Zain Ellsworth furrowed his brow, looked ahead, and shouted, “Who goes there!”

“By the Holy Master’s order, to take Mr. Wood to the hotel for rest!”

In front of the two men, a line of sedans was parked.

Someone alighted from the car, respectfully answering.
