Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1367: The Emperor’s Younger Sister

In the end, Julius Reed transferred several thousand dollars to Terry Moore, which counted as one rescue for Karen.

But these few thousand dollars were not given for free.

If the two could not reach Hidden Tennyson Villa within a day to clear up Quella Radcliffe’s matter,

Then, this money would be the funeral expenses.

Julius Reed had even selected the urn for the two, ready in advance.

Pure gold, with a golden dragon on top.

The standard for the grave was equally high, one hundred thousand per square meter!

Although the two brothers felt it was a bit expensive and wanted to decline such kindness,

Julius Reed said that as brothers, he would ensure they left with dignity.

So, after Karen was released from prison, she went directly to Bamboo Whitaker, the female CEO of Whitaker Corporation, and borrowed a private jet to take Terry Moore to Hidden Tennyson Villa.

They spent a sleepless night.

As dawn was about to break, Julius Reed turned around and went back to his room.

He pushed open the door.

On the bed, Elwood Thorneycroft was tightly tied up, staring angrily at Julius Reed.

"What? Still angry?" Julius Reed said with a smile as he sat beside the bed, though his mood was not very good.

Logically, the sovereign of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, who controlled the fate of the world, should be cold-hearted and unapproachable.

But he had no airs about him.

Who could imagine that a handsome, youthfully charming man, self-absorbed and sleepless through the night, was the exalted sovereign?

Perhaps living for a long time made him dislike such things.

Or perhaps, his unrivaled strength meant he didn’t need to maintain his rule through mystery and intimidation.

After all, people should be happy; there’s no need to wear a stern face all day like a machine.

Provoked by his question, Elwood Thorneycroft snorted with resentment, "How would I dare to be angry with the sovereign? You are the lofty sovereign of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! And who am I? Just an orphan whose father you killed!"

"Hey! Fabian Percival was clearly killed by you. Why am I to blame?" Julius Reed raised an eyebrow, suddenly finding women incomprehensible.

"If you hadn’t saved me back then, would Fabian Percival have died? Maybe, but who knows for certain since it didn’t happen?"

Elwood Thorneycroft raised her head, illogically blaming him: "You saved me, I killed my father, so strictly speaking, it’s like you killed my father!"

She turned her face and looked at Julius Reed with a grin: "A blood feud over a father’s death cannot be shared under the same sky!"

"Fine, we can discuss this matter later." Julius Reed, barely suppressing the urge to hit her, asked with a stern face: "I need to ask you something."

"What’s in it for me." Elwood Thorneycroft glanced at the ropes tightly binding her and sighed: "I’m just a prisoner, how dare I speak with the sovereign."

"It’s a serious matter!"

Julius Reed’s tone became somewhat indifferent.

"Oh." Elwood Thorneycroft was a smart person who wouldn’t ask for trouble.

When Julius Reed was in a good mood, she could joke around as she pleased, after all, her life was saved by the sovereign.

But when Julius Reed became serious, she knew that things might be serious.

"Do you know Knox Ridge? Quella Radcliffe’s mother." Julius Reed mused: "I won’t hide this from you, Quella Radcliffe was taken, and they’ve demanded we divorce. After much thought, I believe only Knox Ridge could do such a thing."

"I don’t know her." A flicker of surprise crossed Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

However, Julius Reed caught this tiny anomaly.

"I saved your life." He stared intently into Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes: "Now, I want you to repay that favor."

"I’m not... I already repaid it. It was I who brought the news to you at Medicine King Valley." Elwood Thorneycroft tried to avoid the other’s icy gaze, but Julius Reed grabbed her chin.

"Woman, you’re playing with fire." Julius Reed was truly getting angry now. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Concerning Quella Radcliffe’s matter, he had no principles to speak of.

This might be the only thing that could disturb the mind of a creature who had lived for countless lifetimes.

He did not care for the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

He cared even less for the hollow title of sovereign.

But this woman.

Julius Reed cared.

Deeply cared.

"Consider it as me owing you a favor." Finally, Julius Reed sighed: "The sovereign of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s promise is worth its weight in gold. A promise from the sovereign is coveted by countless people under heaven."

"Really?" Elwood Thorneycroft seemed tempted.

"Really." Julius Reed nodded.

Upon hearing this, Elwood Thorneycroft pondered and then asked aloud, "Tell me what happened, from start to finish."

Julius Reed recounted every word of the woman on the phone without missing a beat.

Including the tone and details.

"Calling you a ’damn man’? Saying that men are no good?" Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes lit up, and then he burst into laughter, "Do you believe me?"

"Depends on the situation."

Julius Reed’s brows furrowed slightly.

His wife had been abducted; why was Elwood Thorneycroft so happy about it?

If it weren’t for the fact that he needed someone’s help right now, he would really want to give Elwood Thorneycroft a good thrashing.

Damn!

Suddenly, Julius Reed realized that after being repeatedly invaded by Evil Qi, his temper had become volatile.

In the past, his centuries of life experience had made him unflappable.

But now, he found himself wanting to kill at the slightest provocation.

Yet, he had no intention of restraining himself.

After all, what’s most important is to live comfortably.

To kill if one desires to, especially when one has the power to do so.

"Your wife is perfectly safe." Elwood Thorneycroft seemed dissatisfied with this response, pursed her lips, and revealed a more feminine side, "The person who captured your wife is not someone ordinary people dare to provoke. Consider it hiring someone for free to protect your wife. After all, she won’t harm Quella Radcliffe."

Damn man, men are no good.

Elwood Thorneycroft often heard this phrase.

The mantra of the great Vein Holder of the imperial line.

Perhaps this was due to the fact that most of the imperial close aides and civil officials were women.

These close aides highly esteemed women’s rights, and their language revealed disdain for men.

Damn man, is a phrase the great Vein Holder utters every day.

Combining the relationship between the imperial Vein Holder and Julius Reed, the likelihood is that this great Vein Holder was taking up her master’s grievance and had captured Quella Radcliffe.

Becoming a great Vein Holder isn’t something one can achieve with just a quirky character.

Capturing Quella Radcliffe was simply a way to vent for her master.

But harming Quella Radcliffe is something the great Vein Holder would never do.

After listening to Julius Reed, Elwood Thorneycroft’s guess was more or less on point.

It must be her!

The imperial sister!

A high-ranking and powerful close aide of the imperial line, the chief great Vein Holder.

She controls the imperial military department and has the power of life and death!

In the absence of the imperial Vein Holder, the imperial sister acts as the regent!

"Are you certain that Quella Radcliffe is definitely safe?" Hearing this, Julius Reed’s anxious heart eased a bit.

"Certain. This person won’t harm Quella Radcliffe, but she might call you every day to curse at you. You know, the more capable the person, the stranger the temper." Elwood Thorneycroft said to Julius Reed helplessly, "Like you, for example."

"How so?" Julius Reed touched his head, wondering why, after his amnesia, he felt defeated by women he met.

He pondered whether to cut down Elwood Thorneycroft with a sword.

"In the entire world, besides you, the Saint Lord, I can’t think of any man who would tie up a great beauty to the bed and do nothing."

Elwood Thorneycroft stuck out her tongue, "Don’t worry."

"How could I possibly not worry?" Julius Reed questioned, "What if something happens to Quella Radcliffe?"

There are no absolutely safe things in this world.

Unless he sees Quella Radcliffe himself in person.

"If she’s dead, I’ll be your wife!" Elwood Thorneycroft snickered, and then suddenly screamed!

She flipped upside down, and received a solid smack on her bottom!

Tears, from the pain, fell instantly!
