Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
Chapter 1224 - 1224 1224 Escape from Death

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Escape from Death Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Escape from Death “Do you know that I am from the Sealing Pulse?”

Elaenor Wood turned around, looked straight into Julius Reed’s eyes, “Allow me to ask, how did Your Excellency come to know this?”

Even after having slept for five hundred years, his mind and vision had already elevated.

When Elaenor Wood heard this, his emotions still fluctuated.

This matter was supposed to be very secretive…

“I didn’t know before I asked that question,” Julius Reed said with a light smile. “But now, seeing your expression, I do.”

Granny Xihua had revealed something about the Seven Veins when she sought refuge at Demarco Mount years ago.

Although the Bead Pulse was unaware of the whereabouts of the other six veins, there was still some understanding of the individual characteristics due to the inheritance of the Seven Veins.

Only the Sealing Pulse could cause memory loss.

Sealing, as the name implies, means to imprison, to seal.

Among the Seven Veins, the Royal Vein was the most mysterious.

None of the other six veins knew the whereabouts of the Royal Vein.

They had only seen emissaries of the Royal Vein; they had never met a Vein Holder of the Royal Vein.

Back then at Shadow Gate, when evil Qi entered his body, Julius Reed regained some memories.

Among them were words once said by Granny Xihua.

“Your Excellency, it’s really not good of you to do this,” Elaenor Wood was initially stunned, then burst out laughing: “Zain Ellsworth was right, you really are a… unique person!”

“I have never cared about others’ opinions,” Julius Reed rubbed his hands together, his tone carrying a hint of smugness, “So it turns out you are from the Sealing Pulse. If that’s the case, many things can be explained now.”

It seemed the competition back at Medicine King Valley had been premeditated.

“Do you expect me to cooperate with you by doing this?” Elaenor Wood helplessly shook his head, “This makes me feel insulted.”

He raised both hands, then slowly put them down.

Not knowing what else to say.

“If you don’t help me, I can help Devlin detoxify. By then, catching him will be somewhat difficult for you,” Julius Reed patted Elaenor Wood’s shoulder: “Friend, you don’t have a choice. I’m leaving, I’ll come to kill you tomorrow night.”

After saying that, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at a text.

“Tonight at midnight, or perhaps tomorrow before dawn, Devlin will come looking for you. He’s a useful person, don’t kill him lightly.”

Bang!

Julius Reed closed the room door and disappeared from the hotel.

“Your Excellency, truly no one can fathom you.”

Elaenor Wood walked to the window, looking at the twinkling lights below, and gave a bitter smile.

Such a grand master, capable of slaying thousands with a sword!

Yet can act like a child, playing pranks and using underhanded tactics.

Unpredictable.

“Medicine God.”

Julius Reed had left, and Zain Ellsworth pushed open the door, asking respectfully, “What did he want with you, if I may ask intrusively? Please be cautious dealing with such a person!”

That feeling of watching an enemy lingering in front of oneself, yet powerless to do anything about it.

It was suffocating.

Unable to defeat him,

all Zain Ellsworth could do was resent.

“He said he’s coming to kill me tomorrow night.”

Elaenor Wood gently rolled up his sleeves, looked at the mark on his arm, and glanced at Zain Ellsworth: “He wants me to cooperate.”

“Absolutely shameless!” Zain Ellsworth exploded in anger.

Is there anything more disgraceful in this world?

“Is His Excellency a fool to make such an unreasonable request?”

“I agreed.”

Elaenor Wood rolled down his sleeve, falling silent.

Back then, Sealing Pulse’s Vein Holder, in pursuit of immortality, betrayed his own people.

At first, he didn’t believe it.

Not until Nathanael Warm appeared on the plane with that Copper Coin.

Then, Elaenor Wood knew the truth.

Back then, he fought desperately for the goals of Pendleton, even to the point of risking his death.

Yet as a Vein Holder, that Vein Holder of the Sealing Pulse who initially took what should have been Elaenor Wood’s place had actually betrayed Pendleton.

“I said I would definitely kill you with my own hands!”

Elaenor Wood looked out the window, her body radiating murderous intent!

…

Three hundred miles from Star City.

A base.

A simple base.

A dozen Cyber army members were guarding around an iron cage, looking vigilant.

Inside the cage, Devlin was squatting.

At that moment, Devlin was not as active as before.

He sat in silence, hunched in a corner of the cage.

“Got a cigarette?”

Devlin asked.

But there was no response.

The unbound members of the Cyber army ignored Devlin.

They were carrying steel knives, constantly patrolling the surroundings.

“Got a cigarette!”

Devlin shouted.

Yet his voice sounded very weak.

“Ah!”

He sighed deeply, his left hand pinching his right wrist.

His pulse was soft and feeble, as if he were about to die.

“This poison is really rare!” Devlin leaned against the cage, weakly calling out, “Cigarette…”

“Here!”

Just then, a cigarette was handed to him.

“Brysen Beaumont?”

Devlin cautiously took the cigarette and sniffed it lightly, “It’s not the one that harmed me, is it?”

“Harm you? Granny Xihua can easily kill you now, why would I need to bother?”

Brysen Beaumont took out a lighter and passed it to Devlin, “I once promised to try to persuade Granny to spare your life. It seems she isn’t completely heartless. Maybe you should humble yourself and reveal your secrets in exchange for a way out.”

“Wishful thinking!”

Devlin put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag!

Satisfied!

He hadn’t smoked for a whole day and night.

“Let me be honest with you, if I reveal what I know, Granny Xihua would probably kill me immediately! That old woman is terrifying.”

Devlin flicked the ash and snorted, “I’ve dealt with her long enough to understand her temperament. Why not release me, and let’s leave together?”

“Impossible!”

Brysen Beaumont threw a pack of cigarettes into the cage and turned to leave.

He had just stepped away.

Then Eagle appeared.

“Granny has ordered you to leave,” Eagle came to the Cyber army members and waved his hand, “There’s urgent business.”

“Yes!”

The members of the Cyber army hesitated for a moment, then quickly left.

Only Eagle remained surrounding the cage.

“Are you sure you can get the Divine Dragon Tripod?”

Watching the direction the black-clothed person left, Eagle stood in front of the cage, sizing up Devlin, “If you lie to me, I will definitely kill you!”

“Among the Seven Veins, you belong to Eagle Vein! Your father is the Medicine King. Bead has told you these things,” Devlin stood up, weak but still managing to walk over, “But what Bead didn’t tell you is that she designed all this, killed Eagle Vein, just to control you!”

“Why should I believe you.”

Eagle asked coldly.

“Take me to see someone, an old acquaintance. He is from Sealing Pulse, and he will naturally tell you everything,” Devlin held the bars with both hands and sneered, “Trust me, among the Seven Veins, Sealing Pulse and Eagle Vein have the best relations. Once you meet him, you will naturally know the truth.”

“If you lie to me, I’ll immediately break your neck!”

Eagle hesitated before breaking the lock with one hand.

Grabbing Devlin, they quickly disappeared.
