Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
Chapter 1238 - 1238 1238 Deputy Director

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Deputy Director Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Deputy Director Oracio Martin was very excited.

He knew.

His time to achieve great things had come.

The Left and Second Ministers were at odds, but they had never openly broken off relations.

Now, the Left Minister was already preparing to make his move, and he, Oracio Martin, was the vanguard.

Endowed with this honor, he felt an incomparable excitement in his heart.

At this moment, Manager Ophelia stood with her hands on her hips, shouting commands from the high platform.

King himself had ordered the construction of the point-commanding platform, so no one dared to slack off.

“Hurry up!”

Smack!

Someone was half a step slow, and Manager Ophelia lashed them with a whip.

“Ouch!”

The person struck showed a bloody mark on their body, and their pace was forced to quicken.

“Old Ophelia, I’ve recently acquired a treasure!” Oracio Martin climbed up the ladder to the platform, holding the Luminous Pearl that Julius Reed had given him.

“I heard you’re a master appraiser, could you take a look for me?”

He walked up to Manager Ophelia with a smug look on his face.

“Hmph!”

Manager Ophelia snorted lightly, beginning to mutter to herself inside.

She and Oracio Martin didn’t interact much on regular days; they kept to their own without interfering with each other.

When it came to work matters, it was always their subordinates who communicated privately.

What madness had taken Oracio Martin today?

But once she took a good look!

Manager Ophelia’s eyes squinted slightly.

This was indeed a fine item!

It was significantly larger than her own!

“Brother Martin, it looks like you’ve struck it rich. Where did you steal this from?” Manager Ophelia asked with a slight provocation.

Show off in front of me?

But she was indeed a bit curious and envious.

“To tell you the truth, it was from a new guy… named Jorvik Reed. He gave it to me,” Oracio Martin replied truthfully, just as Julius Reed had instructed him.

He asked with a bit of a provocation, “How about it, Manager Ophelia, surely that young man has also given you one? Why not show it and let’s have a look?”

“Jorvik Reed?”

Upon hearing this name, Manager Ophelia felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

That bastard, hadn’t he just given her a present?

He did give it!

And it was indeed valuable!

But compared to the one in Oracio Martin’s hand, it was quite inferior.

People always have a tendency to compare.

If she were to show hers, she would definitely be the laughing stock for Oracio Martin.

“I don’t have it!”

Manager Ophelia shook her head, saying somewhat sarcastically, “I must really congratulate you on acquiring such a treasure. I have something to deal with, please excuse me.”

After speaking, she left the platform quickly, fuming with rage!

The more Manager Ophelia thought about it, the more something felt off!

That Jorvik Reed, didn’t he say he would send her a bigger one this afternoon?

How did the Luminous Pearl end up with Oracio Martin?

She wandered around and headed straight for the construction area where Larkin Weather was.

The two places were a kilometer apart, which was not too far.

“Larkin Weather!”

Five minutes later, Manager Ophelia, carrying a whip, arrived behind Larkin Weather, seething with anger.

She lashed out fiercely!

Smack!

A whip cracked out!

Larkin Weather’s back was cut open, flesh bursting!

“Ouch!”

Larkin Weather, who was working, stumbled and fell to the ground, gritting his teeth in pain.

“Manager… Manager Ophelia…”

When he saw it was Manager Ophelia who had hit him, he quickly scrambled up from the ground.

“Manager Ophelia.”

“Where is Jorvik Reed!”

Manager Ophelia was full of anger!

“Call him out! Immediately!”

She and Oracio Martin served different lords and were like fire and water to each other!

Now to be outdone like this, naturally, she felt irritable.

Let it be known, she was the Grand Steward!

Oracio Martin was merely a Deputy Steward.

In the ranks of The North Sea officials, he stood a rank below her!

“Yes…”

Larkin Weather’s heart gave a start!

Could the secret of Jorvik Reed giving gifts to Oracio Martin have been exposed?

Otherwise, why would Nancy Ophelia’s attitude have changed so drastically?

He didn’t have time to think further, as he hurriedly ran to the backyard to find Julius Reed.

“Brother West Tower!”

As Larkin ran, a piercing pain shot through the wound on his back.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

“What’s the matter?”

Julius Reed was looking around the backyard, his gaze flitting from one place to another.

The military preparations at The North Sea had significantly improved since the days at Ivory Bay.

Many modern weapons had appeared here.

Even the Mont Horses, once used by the Wolf Cavalry, were present at The North Sea.

Mont…

Julius Reed remembered Grace River.

She was from the royal family of Mont.

Mont Horses were never sold; only the royal family of Mont and the Wolf Cavalry at Demarco Mount had the privilege of using them.

But how could The North Sea have Mont Horses?

“Manager Ophelia has come looking for you, bristling with anger! I’m worried it’s because the matter of you giving gifts to Oracio Martin has been exposed. We should leave quickly!”

Larkin wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, his heart pounding!

“Is she here?”

A smirk curved the corner of Julius Reed’s mouth.

Perfect timing!

“Let’s go!”

He flicked his sleeve and strode towards the front courtyard.

“Manager Ophelia!”

Upon reaching the front courtyard, Julius Reed immediately spotted the furious Nancy Ophelia.

“Brother Reed, we meet again!”

Nancy Ophelia narrowed her eyes and greeted him with folded hands, speaking coldly.

“Manager Ophelia…”

Julius Reed sighed, voicing his frustration: “I was actually looking for you.”

“Oh? Looking for me? May I ask, Brother Reed, are you planning to present to me the Luminous Pearl you promised earlier?” Nancy Ophelia smiled broadly: “If so, I respectfully accept.”

She extended a hand, expressionless.

“Gone.”

Julius Reed simply shrugged his shoulders, a look of helplessness on his face.

“Are you mocking me?” Nancy Ophelia scoffed: “Brother Reed, I used to have a good impression of you, but now…”

“Manager Ophelia, this is my fault,” Julius Reed said helplessly: “Just now, I took out the Luminous Pearl to give to you, but then Manager Oracio came to inspect…”

“Deputy Manager! Deputy Manager!” Nancy Ophelia interrupted Julius, correcting him: “I am the Grand Steward!”

“Ah! I was under the impression that both of you were Grand Stewards.”

Julius Reed sounded surprised: “Manager Oracio… Deputy Manager Oracio saw the Luminous Pearl in my hand and said that giving it to you would be just the same, as you both are as close as brothers and both are Grand Stewards.”

“But after I handed it over, I then heard from Brother Larkin that it seems you two aren’t exactly on friendly terms…”

Larkin standing nearby went completely stiff!

When had he ever said that?

He had no idea!

Moreover, wasn’t it this man who calls himself Jorvik Reed who had actively offered the pearl to Oracio Martin?

“I…”

Larkin stammered, cramps seizing his calves.

“See, Brother Larkin can testify for me,” Julius Reed said with regret: “Manager Ophelia, my apologies.”

“Did Oracio Martin really say that?”

Nancy Ophelia’s eyes darted around, as if weighing the truth of these words.

“Yes! Deputy Manager Oracio, when he learned it was meant for you, simply took it from my hands. I’m new here and certainly didn’t dare to snatch it back…”

Julius Reed looked innocent, pitiable, and helpless.

“Fine! If it’s as you say, once the Point Commander’s Platform is constructed, let’s go to the peach tree in the southwest corner and become sworn brothers! If you’re lying, I won’t let you off easily!”

With that, Nancy Ophelia, carrying her long whip, turned and left.

“Jorvik Reed, you…”

After Nancy Ophelia left, Larkin collapsed to the ground.

This was a distortion of the truth!

“It’s the truth, didn’t you see?”

Julius Reed crouched down.

“I didn’t!”

Larkin shook his head like a rattle.

“No, you saw it.”

Julius Reed paid him no attention and went to the backyard to study the Mont Horses.

Meanwhile, on the platform being constructed.

Nancy Ophelia walked up behind Oracio Martin, hands clasped behind her back: “Deputy Manager Oracio, may we talk?”
