Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1343: Transaction
Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Transaction
Geogre Four dares to fight and struggle!
After arriving in Swimming City, he was recognized by Hagan Marsh and became his fourth nominal son.
Though his abilities and intelligence are much lesser than the first three, this fourth spot is still a hot seat.
There’s still a crowd watching from behind.
Now that he has been verbally challenged, if Geogre Four does not respond openly, he fears he will lose face forever in this Nine Routes military camp.
Moreover, can arrows be faster than a hidden weapon box?
He can open the hidden weapon box in just half a second!
But before shooting an arrow, you need to draw the bow!
"Is it settled?" Julius Reed lightly smiled and said: "I advise you to be cautious, if you lose, it’s your life on the line."
"Take it easy, it will be you who dies!" Although Geogre Four’s victory wouldn’t be honourable, how could he possibly refuse such a foolish request?
"Is it a deal?"
Julius Reed looked towards Nicholas Pendleton: "A witness?"
"Agreed." Nicholas Pendleton nodded and motioned for those around to put down the hidden weapon box: "If both parties adhere to the rules, their survival is in the hands of fate. But if anyone cheats, I will surely execute them!"
Finally, he looked at Julius Reed, asking: "Solaris Grove? The North Sea General? If you die, I will send your attendant to bring your body back, that’s the least I can do."
"No need." Julius Reed lightly touched the bowstring and indifferently said: "The one to die will definitely be him."
"Such confidence?" Nicholas Pendleton was indeed shocked by this confidence, but he still didn’t believe a bow could be faster than a hidden weapon box.
Especially at such a close distance, there’s utterly no escape.
"It’s just to exert psychological pressure on us." Geogre Four seemed to see right through Julius Reed, slowly putting down the hidden weapon box.
"I’ll count to three. When I reach three, both of you start. If anyone acts early, Mr. Pendleton’s hidden weapon box here will uphold justice." Nicholas Pendleton finished speaking and lifted the hidden weapon box in his hand.
"One!"
"Two!"
Geogre Four’s hand gripping the hidden weapon box trembled slightly.
Palm full of sweat,
The opponent is too composed!
Not a bit of nervousness or fear!
This is abnormal!
Finally!
"Three!"
Just as Nicholas Pendleton’s voice fell, Geogre Four swiftly lifted the hidden weapon box!
He used to be fast at this!
But almost at the same time—
Julius Reed raised his bow with his left hand!
In less than half a second, the bowstring was already fully drawn!
Whoosh!
The hidden weapon box activated.
Swish!
Arrow launched!
In the room, time seemed to freeze.
Countless pairs of eyes were watching.
Every person was as if fixed in place.
They were all waiting, for fate’s decision.
The dart is launched, the arrow flies!
Geogre Four’s eyes bulged, seeing only one arrow, one person!
Nicholas Pendleton watched, unsettled in his heart.
The guards watched.
The man’s speed of shooting arrows amazed them.
Lillian Tompson clenched her hands tightly!
Even knowing the Lord’s strong capabilities, she was still filled with worry.
Clang!
Finally!
The arrow tip, made of fine steel, hit the dart head, sparking a trail of sparks.
Then, the dart shifted direction.
Striking the wall.
"I told you, you would lose."
Julius Reed handed the longbow back to Lillian Tompson, then turned and walked back to the sofa.
Sat down.
Thump!
Inside a floor of a building.
The arrow feather penetrated Geogre Four’s head like breaking through a watermelon, shattering the glass of the door.
And Geogre Four fell to the ground.
His eyes wide open.
Pupils gradually dilating.
Gurgling.
Nicholas Pendleton swallowed his saliva, his head covered in cold sweat.
A deity?
There are many skilled people on the Ninth Route.
Some of whom are experts.
But no one can be this forceful!
Just this courage alone is beyond ordinary people.
"Hold on!"
Seeing his subordinate about to open the hidden weapon box, Nicholas Pendleton quickly stopped him: "We had an agreement earlier, you guys withdraw first!"
"Third Master, the death of Fourth Master..."
"Get out!"
Nicholas Pendleton shouted furiously, flinging his sleeve: "Get out, as far as you can!"
"But your safety..."
Whoosh!
The hidden weapon box activated.
Nicholas Pendleton threw a hidden weapon box into the air, directly shattering the lampshade.
The guards from the Ninth Route, one by one, quickly left with their tails between their legs.
Nicholas Pendleton threw the hidden weapon box to the ground, raising both hands to show his sincerity.
He was very clear about one thing, if the other party wanted to kill him, they would have done it already.
While they were stunned, the second arrow could have already shot into his head.
But the other party didn’t do it.
Clearly, they didn’t plan to kill him.
"General Grove!" Nicholas Pendleton calmed himself and spoke: "You came to the Ninth Route, not just to kill two sons of my sworn father, right? If that’s really the case, even if it costs me my life, I must retain you."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, his tone also contained a trace of respect.
"What if I said, I can help you achieve great deeds, would you believe me?" Julius Reed patted the sofa next to him, glanced at Nicholas Pendleton, and said: "Sit."
"Alright!"
Nicholas Pendleton didn’t hesitate even for a second, walked over, and sat on the sofa immediately.
"I don’t know you, and you say you want to help me achieve great deeds, this is hard to believe." He closely observed the young man in front of him, constantly pondering in his mind.
"It’s just a coincidence." Julius Reed turned his head, slowly speaking: "Just happened that when I was eating, I killed Delaney. The North Sea planning to attack Swimming City is top secret. I came to Swimming City just to investigate the situation here."
"What!"
Nicholas Pendleton suddenly sat up from the sofa, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The North Sea, attacking Swimming City? Do you know how strong Swimming City is? How many powers are inside? Compared to Deep Cold, Swimming City is countless times stronger!"
It was too unexpected!
The North Sea, actually planning to attack Swimming City?
"To be honest, the king of The North Sea has granted me great authority; whether to attack or not is all within my thought." Julius Reed gestured for Nicholas Pendleton to not be anxious, to sit first.
"But after arriving at Swimming City, I also felt the undercurrents swirling here. It is well-known that Swimming City is a good place. The strength of The North Sea, you can’t even imagine." He crossed his legs, tapping softly on the sofa with his middle finger: "So, I changed my mind."
"I’m all ears." Nicholas Pendleton wore a surprised expression, his gaze solemn.
"I want to break the division of the Ninth Route into factions. Instead, change to..." Julius Reed raised a finger: "One dominant family. But as a condition, this remaining family must maintain cooperation with The North Sea."
"Which family?"
Nicholas Pendleton asked.
"Your family." Julius Reed answered.
"Why?"
"Because you’re poor!"
"Among the Nine Routes, we are the weakest; you didn’t choose the top three routes within the city but instead chose us, the bottom three routes?"
"The poor think of change. The big shots in the city enjoy their peaceful days, entering the fray? Impossible. I only ask you one thing, do you dare?"
"Dare! But, the Nine Routes are not under my control; what’s said goes, it’s my sworn father, Hagan Marsh!"
"Then let me ask you, do you want to replace him? There are no outsiders here, and I am not a person sent by Hagan Marsh to test you."
"I do!"
"That’s enough." Julius Reed’s face carried a hint of a smile: "I’ll help you rise to the top."
"On what grounds?" Nicholas Pendleton’s expression was serious, his eyes filled with excitement!
"By the sharp arrows in my hand!"
Whoosh!
Julius Reed leaned forward slightly, his right hand slamming a large seal on the table: "And this Seal of The North Sea General!"
