Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 712 - Recording_1
Chapter 712: Chapter 712 Recording_1
“Protect Mr. Thorneycroft!”
Those who had come back to their senses, all got up!
Elwood Thorneycroft’s knife was directly against Fabian Percival’s neck!
The scene suddenly plunged into chaos!
“What is this… what play is this…”
Maurice Yarrow wiped the sweat from his forehead, somewhat at a loss.
And those employees of Fabian Percival, one by one took out their weapons, looking towards Elwood Thorneycroft!
It was all so sudden!
No one could have anticipated it!
Fabian Percival’s daughter had actually made a move with a knife!
The target was even her own father!
“You… You’ve been in cahoots with them all along?”
Fabian Percival, who had weathered countless storms, remained composed.
He thought of the coffin and spirit tablet that Julius Reed had sent over, plus Elwood Thorneycroft’s clothing of hemp.
He seemed—
to understand somewhat.
“Elwood! Have you gone mad? Put the knife down at once!” the gang leader Bradwell Moore stood out and shouted, “You’re ungrateful! When Mr. Thorneycroft took you in, he treated you like his own daughter! And now, you’re drawing a knife on him!”
“His own daughter?”
Elwood Thorneycroft let out a cold laugh, looking at Bradwell Moore, “When the second son of Martin Family and Brown Bread came to kill me, where was my father?”
“You…”
Bradwell Moore’s face changed drastically!
Even the body of Fabian Percival shook slightly.
Could it be…
“Lost for words? Can’t come up with anything to say, can you?” Elwood Thorneycroft said coldly to the circle of junior leaders surrounding her, “When the conspiracy to kill me and silence me was underway, all of you were present! And my father, he was the mastermind!”
At these words, the audience erupted!
“What! Fabian Percival actually wanted to kill his own daughter?”
“Even a tiger will not eat its offspring, Fabian Percival is truly ruthless!”
“Cold-hearted and ungrateful! Who would have thought…”
Hearing that Fabian Percival wanted to kill Elwood Thorneycroft, the guests in attendance felt a chill run down their spines!
Once the news got out!
It would become a stain on Fabian Percival’s life!
To kill even his daughter!
Was he still human?
Besides—
What on earth had Elwood done?
“You’re slandering me!”
Bradwell Moore regained his composure and pointed at Elwood Thorneycroft, scolding, “You’re disloyal and unfilial, and now you even try to smear Mr. Thorneycroft!”
The plot to assassinate Elwood Thorneycroft was known only to the core members.
But the participants kept their mouths shut, no one would talk recklessly.
This was a matter of life and death!
As long as they insisted Elwood Thorneycroft was making false accusations, they could twist the truth!
There were no witnesses!
No evidence!
“What in the world is going on?”
“Could it really be that Elwood is just looking for an excuse to rebel?”
“It’s hard to discern the truth!”
Bradwell Moore’s words made everyone present start to reconsider.
Who was telling the truth.
“I can bear witness.”
Ivan Reed sighed, his face sad, “My sworn son Luciano Michael died at the hands of Brown Bread!”
After he finished speaking, Marco Pendleton behind him pulled out a laptop.
On the screen was the scene of Brown Bread killing Luciano Michael with a concealed weapon!
“When I took Elwood away, my initial thought was to investigate the murder of my sworn son Stacy Cook…”
Ivan Reed turned his head, looking coldly at Fabian Percival, “Who would have thought that Elwood would keep silent about it! But she didn’t expect that her loyalty would be met with betrayal!”
“Nonsense!”
Fabian Percival’s face was as still as water, and even with the knife held to his throat, he remained calm, “Sacha Reed, you have a mighty reputation in the capital, and yet today you are here framing me! Brown Bread’s murder is none of my business!”
“Of course!”
Ivan Reed nodded, “Without evidence, I would not speak recklessly. Mr. Reed, in your hands…”
“I have evidence.”
Julius Reed stood up, pulling out a tape recorder, “Everyone prick up your ears and listen closely!”
After he spoke, the tape recorder began to play back sounds.
The place was eerily silent.
Everyone wanted to hear what evidence was on that tape recorder.
“Mr. Thorneycroft, if this gets out, the murder of Stacy Cook’s entire family will inevitably implicate us!”
When the first voice sounded, some people’s faces in the venue changed drastically!
“That’s Bradwell Moore’s voice!”
“Shh! Keep listening.”
There was a moment of silence afterward.
“Elwood might be my daughter, but when it comes to matters of principle, I can just as easily forsake her!”
After that voice was heard.
No one could stay seated.
It was Fabian Percival’s voice!
“Hiss…”
Those people’s eyes widened, each one standing there dumbstruck.
This was…
Their private conversation!
How did it end up in Julius Reed’s hands!
But the real shocker was yet to come.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, Miss Elwood Thorneycroft was, after all, acting on your behalf. If…”
“No more words! My mind is made up. I will call a meeting of core members tonight and arrange for Brown Bread to carry out the assassination!”
“But… Ivan Reed’s men are not to be underestimated! If we act rashly, we risk setting the grass on fire without catching the snake…”
“The meeting I will call tonight, the second son of the Martin family will be the scapegoat! I’ll have him attempt to kill Elwood Thorneycroft, then have Brown Bread betray them to gain trust! And then, ambush them on the way; we are sure to succeed!”
“And the second son of the Martin family…”
“I can kill even my own daughter. What’s the second son of the Martin family in comparison!”
The scene went deadly silent!
You could hear a pin drop!
Even the company staff had anger in their eyes!
They thought that the second son of the Martin family never returned because he had died at the hands of Ivan Reed’s men!
But now—
“The second son of the Martin family has been loyal and devoted. Although his status was not very high, he was truly loyal to you!”
“To you, Mr. Thorneycroft, are we all expendable?”
“Death, we do not fear! But if the knife comes from behind, it chills our hearts!”
The employees had always been kept in the dark!
Now that they thought about it, Fabian Percival arranging for Brown Bread to leave with them wasn’t to help!
It was to claim their lives!
“Fox Miller! You have betrayed me!”
Fabian Percival turned his head, his eyes blood-red!
The only person who could have obtained this recording was Fox Miller!
“I’m sorry, Mr. Thorneycroft.”
Fox Miller turned the opening of the hidden weapons box towards Bradwell Moore: “You plotted to harm your brothers; I couldn’t just stand by! Who can guarantee…”
He took a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion as he shouted, “Who can guarantee that the next one betrayed isn’t oneself!”
“Fox Miller! You double-dealing scum!”
Bradwell Moore was overwhelmed with rage!
As his hand moved to his waist, he looked ready to draw the hidden weapons box!
Whiz!
But after all—
He was a step too slow.
Fabian Percival’s body trembled, and his closed eyes slowly opened.
It was seen.
Bradwell Moore, blood all over his face, falling straight to the ground.
He never managed to close his eyes before dying.
“The first rule of the group!”
Fox Miller bellowed, “How should one who harms his brothers be dealt with!”
“Kill!”
The hundreds of gang members present roared in unison, fury in their eyes!
“The second rule of the group, how should one who betrays his brothers be judged!”
“Kill!”
With each shout, Fabian Percival’s body shook.
He knew.
It was over for him.
Once this kind of thing was leaked,
There was nothing left but ruin and disgrace.
And those who participated in the plot to kill Elwood Thorneycroft sat on their chairs, faces white as sheets, trembling.
Fox Miller was in charge of security!
But now he was leading the rebellion!
Who could steady the situation?
“Everyone!”
Just as the situation was about to collapse, Whitley Leopold slowly stood up, pointing to the door: “You may not be aware, but I have nearly a hundred guards stationed outside the door! Anyone who dares touch Mr. Thorneycroft today can give it a try.”
“Just so you know, I’ve brought my own brothers as well!”
Maurice Yarrow scoffed: “If anything happens to Mr. Thorneycroft, you all will be our company in death!”
Before coming, Whitley Leopold had discussed with Maurice Yarrow.
Bringing bodyguards along, just in case!
Whoosh!
Following their words, hundreds of people poured in from outside.
“Haha! Heaven does not wish my end!”
Fabian Percival laughed wildly!
“Perhaps, you’re celebrating a bit too soon.”
Julius Reed looked at Whitley Leopold and asked with a smile, “Old Mr. Leopold, want to make a bet?”
“Bet on what?”
Whitley Leopold stood, pointing at Julius Reed: “Today, you will definitely die.”
“Then let’s bet that you’ll die first, shall we?”
Julius Reed also stood, looking directly at Whitley Leopold: “What do you say?”
“Haha!” Whitley Leopold laughed wildly, his eyes filled with murderous intent: “I’ll kill you first as revenge for my Sun Hill grandson! Let me die first? Unless…”
Gurg!
Before he could finish—
Whitley Leopold’s body trembled, shocked in his eyes!
It was seen.
A bloody long knife pierced through his chest…
