Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 359: Sterling Fairbanks’s Plan_1

After leaving the bar, Julius Reed was weighed down with heavy thoughts.

The Wolf Cavalry was the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s strongest fighting force, directly under the jurisdiction of the Young Master.

And the commander of the Wolf Cavalry wasn’t restrained by anyone, independently responsible to the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

It could be said that the most elite troops of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance were the Wolf Cavalry!

Now that the Third Regiment of the Wolf Cavalry had appeared within the territory of Five-river Province, the situation had become even more complicated and mysterious.

“Fortunately, it was only the Third Regiment that came; otherwise, not a single person from the Skyfire Sect would have been left,” Julius Reed and Lucan Davenport walked down the streets in the dead of night, chatting idly.

Although Lucan Davenport wasn’t a member of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, he was utterly loyal to Julius Reed. Some things he could be told without concern.

“The Wolf Cavalry is that formidable?” Although Lucan Davenport was unaware of the Wolf Cavalry’s combat strength, he had guessed mostly correctly by their expressions back in the bar’s office.

Julius Reed sat down under a streetlight and gestured for Lucan Davenport to sit as well.

He looked up at the stars in the sky and said, “I personally formed the Wolf Cavalry, divided into five regiments! The First Regiment is responsible for guarding Demarco Mount and cannot leave it by even half a step. This is the elite of the elite, their ability to work as a team in combat is very strong, and it can be said that not any small team has the combat power to contend with the First Regiment.”

Upon hearing this, Lucan Davenport asked curiously, “I remember you mentioned before that Demarco Mount is guarded by four protective regiments, so this First Regiment…”

In the time spent together, Julius Reed hadn’t hidden much from Lucan Davenport; after all, he planned to have Lucan join them once the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was purged.

So he had disclosed quite a bit about the internal matters that were not vitally important.

“Who can truly trust certain people?” Julius Reed smiled faintly, “It’s the human heart that is hardest to predict. It’s precisely because of the existence of the First Regiment that those people, even if they harbored thoughts of rebellion, only dared to make a move outside.”

“As for the Second Regiment, they are responsible for monitoring every organization within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. Once anyone is found to have a problem, they must immediately report to the Elder Council and to me. Although it may seem a bit terrifying, the results are not bad,” Julius Reed shook his head. “The mole is in the Second Regiment, so the news of these people’s betrayal was suppressed. I’m afraid that even now, no one has discovered them.”

“You really have it rough,” Lucan Davenport smiled wryly.

“The Third Regiment is in charge of infiltration and long-distance, rapid assaults! Even my own spy network couldn’t detect them. As for the Fourth Regiment, they usually carry out my orders, and while they are the weakest in combat power, they are the most prestigious presence.”

“The Fifth Regiment…”

Upon mentioning the Fifth Regiment, Julius Reed suddenly stopped.

“Young Master, what’s the matter? Is there a problem with the Fifth Regiment?” Lucan Davenport thought the Fifth Regiment was also involved in the betrayal, and he stopped eating his apple, tossing it aside.

“No, that’s not the case. The Fifth Regiment has the strongest individual combat capabilities. In that battle back then, the Fifth Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and it was because of them that I had time to escape and live until today.”

As he spoke, Julius Reed’s ring started to flash with a red light.

“I must, must take revenge for them!”

“Definitely!”

Lucan Davenport nodded in agreement, “I believe you.”

…

The night was long, but there were those who simply couldn’t fall asleep.

Otis Radcliffe lay in a hospital bed, his legs broken, his complexion extremely pale.

Standing by the hospital bed were Brayden Leopold and Sterling Fairbanks, along with many other local young notables.

“I’m sorry about what happened today,” Sterling Fairbanks approached Otis Radcliffe, bowing deeply before him.

“Mr. Fairbanks, that’s too much…” Otis Radcliffe, enduring his excruciating pain, forced a smile, “To have my legs broken by Mr. Fairbanks is an honor for me.”

Given the circumstances, he could only show loyalty to curry favor with Sterling Fairbanks; otherwise, his broken legs would be in vain.

“Blame it on Julius Reed!”

Otis Radcliffe spoke through gritted teeth.

“Julius Reed…” As he uttered that name, Sterling Fairbanks’s face turned an ashen hue in an instant.

The day’s events had already spread, and even though it was the middle of the night, several friends had sent messages asking if what happened to Sterling Fairbanks was true.

By morning, it was expected that the entire circle would know the story without exception.

“Otis, tell me everything about this Julius Reed, and I promise you, he won’t live past three days!” Sterling Fairbanks was determined, ready to pay any price to have Julius Reed killed.

“Julius Reed was originally my brother-in-law, married into the Radcliffe Family for three years, living like a dog!” Otis, filled with resentment, meticulously relayed all the information on Julius Reed, even including the rise of Quella Radcliffe.

“If that’s truly the case, your sister may very well be a breakthrough point.”

A strange smile crept over Sterling Fairbanks’s lips, “It seems he is deeply devoted to your sister! What kind of man doesn’t have women? Yet he chooses to endure humiliation, all for the sake of your sister!”

“Exactly! Although he is a bastard, he has been genuinely devoted to my sister. It’s just a pity that my aunt is not a good person and she spoiled the marriage,” Otis nodded in agreement.

Ever since Julius Reed had his sudden awakening, he had been helping Quella Radcliffe steadily increase her status, and ultimately even took everything away from Zade Radcliffe and his grandson. He wouldn’t have done all this if he didn’t love Quella Radcliffe.

Moreover, after Julius Reed made his fortune, he always stood by Quella Radcliffe’s side, never raising his voice to her, no matter who else he was angry with.

“In that case, you tell a lie to lure your sister over! Remember my words, make sure, and I mean make sure, she doesn’t talk to anyone. I don’t care how you do it, but you must bring her here without anyone noticing!” Sterling Fairbanks smiled at the thought.

“This…” Otis’s eyes darted around, unsure of what to do.

“What? You don’t want to do it?” Sterling Fairbanks’s attitude turned cold in an instant, frightening Otis into hastening to say, “No problem at all, I’ll lure her over here tomorrow. I am her brother after all, and our grandfather is still in Five-river Province.”

Otis began to ponder how to ensure that this plan would be foolproof.

“Don’t worry, once the deed is done, I will immediately support you to become the chairman of the Radcliffe Family. I can even give you the management of my family’s second Sea of Love resort in the Five-river Province, with a seven-percent share of the yearly profit! And from then on, you will be my man!” Sterling Fairbanks skillfully offered both kindness and authority to win Otis over.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Sebastian Hall, I will complete the mission!”

Otis attempted to stand to show his gratitude despite his injured leg.

“Take care of your injury. I’ll go arrange this matter!” Sterling Fairbanks patted Otis’s shoulder and walked out the door to make a phone call.

“What’s going on?”

A weathered voice came through the phone.

“Uncle Percival, I need a favor from you,” Sterling Fairbanks said.

“What favor?”

“To kill someone!”

“Alright, where are you?”

“Five-river Province!”

“I can be there by tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, Uncle Percival!”

After hanging up the phone, Sterling Fairbanks walked over to the window, gazing out at the dimly lit night.

“Julius Reed, so you have Sophia Leocadia to protect you! This time, I want to see how she’ll guard you! I will make you kneel at my feet!”

“Like a dog! Begging for mercy!”
