Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Visitors from Azure Mountain_1
“Where?”
Julius Reed’s eyes narrowed as he intently stared at the silver needle in Elwood Thorneycroft’s hand.
“The fruit, the porridge for breakfast, and the milk in the evening,”
After saying this, Elwood Thorneycroft wrapped the silver needle in paper, and tossed it into the trash bin.
“If I don’t leave, there’s only a dead end for me.”
“Then you still dare to see me?” Julius Reed chuckled lightly, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
...
Elwood Thorneycroft shook his head, “You won’t kill me.”
“Why?”
Julius Reed was somewhat curious upon hearing this answer.
“The meals, even the fruits, were all arranged by me to be sent to you. Why do you still trust me?”
If the silver needle tested positive for poison, then this matter was definitely related to him.
Elwood Thorneycroft had barely escaped, and yet he had actively sought him out again?
“The person who wants to harm me can’t possibly be you.”
Elwood Thorneycroft gave him a look and continued drinking his coffee, “If you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it by now! Why go to such lengths? You are someone who wouldn’t take two steps when one would do.”
“That’s indeed true.”
Julius Reed nodded in agreement.
If he had really wanted to kill, he would have done it back when he got his hands on the hairpin.
Why wait until now?
“I guess, it must be Fabian Percival’s people.”
Elwood Thorneycroft sighed, looking out the window, “Ivan Reed wouldn’t want me dead; he still hopes to pry open my mouth to learn that secret. As for Aron Jackson… he doesn’t dare disobey you.”
“You see things quite clearly.”
Julius Reed paused, then said, “I must take some responsibility for this matter. After I return, I will have Aron Jackson investigate thoroughly to find out who poisoned it.”
Just then, a waiter came over with two cups of coffee.
“Sir, miss, your coffee,”
he said with a smile.
“We didn’t order any,”
Elwood Thorneycroft looked at the waiter, “You’ve made a mistake.”
“Impossible!”
The waiter looked at Elwood Thorneycroft, “I have a receipt here, it’s for this table.”
After saying this, he supported the tray with one hand and reached out to grab the receipt with the other.
Whoosh!
But in the next moment,
what appeared in the waiter’s hand was not a receipt!
It was a knife, glinting with cold light!
And the tip of the knife was aimed straight for Elwood Thorneycroft’s throat!
Clang!
In the blink of an eye!
Julius Reed spit out the straw in his mouth!
The straw, with strong force, knocked the knife to the ground.
Elwood Thorneycroft, too, regained his senses and quickly picked up the knife from the ground, stabbing it into the waiter’s palm!
“Make a sound, and you’re as good as dead!”
When these words echoed in the waiter’s ears, he who was about to wail, bit his teeth together and didn’t utter a sound.
“Move, and you will die as well,”
Julius Reed said again.
The knife pierced through the waiter’s palm and lodged into the thick wooden table beneath.
“Who sent you?”
Elwood Thorneycroft asked.
As he questioned, he pulled out a small knife from his waist and gently placed it against the waiter’s neck.
The blade was very sharp, and instantly left a mark on the man’s throat.
“It was Mr. Thorneycroft… Mr. Thorneycroft…”
The waiter, terrified and sweating, was trembling as he spoke.
“I’m going back.”

After hearing the waiter’s words, Elwood Thorneycroft leaned back and smiled at Julius Reed, “Don’t try to persuade me, you know it’s futile.”
“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to convince you,”
Julius Reed stood up and left a hundred yuan on the table, “Today’s coffee, it’s my treat.”
“Thank you,”
a voice of gratitude came from behind him.
“Never thought you’d still choose this path. If you need help, you can look for me.”
After saying these words, Julius Reed, hands in pockets, walked away with long strides.
“I’m a man of limited vision; I can’t hold too much in it!”
Elwood Thorneycroft shouted loudly, and as he did, tears began to fall.
“So, I can only erase those memories…”
“Miss, could you possibly…”
Thud!
Elwood Thorneycroft pulled out the knife that had been stuck in the waiter’s palm and thrust it violently into his throat!
Then, as if assisting a drunken friend,
she gently pressed a napkin on the wound and supported the waiter as they left.
Once she was back in the car, she collected her emotions and took out her phone to call Fabian Percival.
A moment later, the call connected.
“Did you succeed?”
A brooding voice came from inside.
“Father.”
A trace of bitterness flashed across Elwood Thorneycroft’s face.
“Elwood!”
Upon hearing the voice, Fabian Percival seemed very shocked.
“Yes, I was held captive by Julius Reed, but now I’ve escaped.”
Elwood Thorneycroft’s expression instantly turned to joy: “Father, I’m coming back now. Will you still take me in?”
“I will…”
Fabian Percival took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Vito, your father has been so worried about you! Now that the Roosevelt family from America has come to Gonzalez City, we no longer fear Ivan Reed!”
“Thank you, father, I’ll be right there.”
Elwood Thorneycroft hung up the phone with a frosty face.
“Fabian Percival, thank you for your years of nurturing care.”
With that, she floored the gas pedal and sped toward the Five-lakes Clubhouse.
…
Meanwhile,
At the Northern Restaurant.
“Holy Messenger, I deserve to die!”
Roosevelt Chide kneeled on the ground, shaking in fear.
He had hit the Holy Messenger!
That was a capital offense!
An unforgivable crime!
In the Thunderpeak Hall, such insubordination would be punished by dismemberment!
“Today’s events were sudden; you’re not to blame.”
Jay King stood with his back to the room, gazing out at the boundless sea through the window, his expression very calm.
There was a circle of gauze wrapped around his right hand, showing a trace of blood.
“It’s my fault I couldn’t protect you, Holy Messenger…”
How could Chopter dare to stand up?
Regardless, today he had, in reality, slapped Jay King across the face.
Very forcefully!
“If I needed your protection, I would be rather useless.”
Jay King turned and gently helped Chopter up from the ground: “Our people will arrive tonight.”
“Is it the Shadow Warrior sent by Granny?”
Chopter’s eyes were filled with surprise.
As long as Thunderpeak Hall took action, Julius Reed was doomed!
“After all, we’re in China’s East. Thunderpeak Hall won’t take action unless absolutely necessary,” Jay King said coldly. “But I’ve already asked Granny for help, and Thunderpeak Hall’s people will be here tomorrow.”
“Then tonight…”
Chopter was a bit puzzled; were they divided into two teams?
“Tonight, Granny has spent a fortune to hire a Shadow Warrior!”
Jay King snorted lightly: “Not only will there be top Shadow Warriors from around the world, but there will also be people from Azure Mountain!”
“Azure Mountain?”
Upon hearing this name, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Chopter’s face: “Azure Mountain is fierce and combative! Granny really knows how to play her cards right to have gotten people from Azure Mountain to join. Now, Julius Reed is definitely not going to die a whole death!”
“Exactly!”
Jay King nodded, fully agreeing with Chopter’s words.
“Everyone at Azure Mountain loves to fight; Granny has paid a great price this time to secure people from Azure Mountain. Julius Reed, you think you can fight? Well, I’d like to see what you’re made of in front of Azure Mountain’s forces!”
Crack!
Jay King punched out!
The dressing mirror in front of him instantly shattered!
