Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Really Fragrant_1

“I’m hungry.”

Aron Jackson looked at Karen speeding up ahead of him and said unhappily.

Since getting off the plane, this old man had been too stingy even to pay for a cab, leading him to walk for more than ten kilometers.

At last, they finally arrived at the hotel booked by the Leocadia Family.

“Hungry, huh?”

Karen turned around, saw the displeased look on Aron Jackson’s face, and asked the bar attendant, “Do you have free cupcakes here? The kind that doesn’t cost anything?”

“Sorry, we don’t have that. But we do have free candies…”

The attendant pointed to a fruit plate in front of him, filled with those cheap candies.

Usually, nobody would eat them.

“Just take a bite to stave off the hunger!”

Karen grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Aron Jackson’s hand.

“Oh!”

Despite his reluctance, Aron Jackson tore open the candies and threw a bunch into his mouth.

Seemingly unsatisfied, he grabbed another handful.

Soon, a candy dish that had been on the front desk for a month, with only three pieces ever taken,

was completely emptied.

“Um… can we get a refill?”

Karen pointed at the now empty dish in front of him.

“We… don’t have any more for now.”

The attendant stared at Aron Jackson, dumbfounded.

This strong and handsome man wore only a vest in minus five-degree weather.

Very stylish.

And even his candy-eating look was handsome!

If it weren’t for the hotel policy that staff couldn’t leave their posts during work hours,

the front desk girl would have probably gone to buy him some food already.

“I’m thirsty.”

After reluctantly swallowing the candy in his mouth, Aron Jackson looked straight at Karen.

Eating that much candy at once, it would be weird not to be thirsty.

“Go to the restroom. There’s water there! Drink plenty!”

Karen leaned on the front desk and asked aloud, “Where is the restroom?”

“Old man, do you have to torture him like this?”

Unable to watch any longer, the front desk attendant took out her own bottle of mineral water and handed it to Aron Jackson, “Handsome, drink this.”

“Thank you.”

Aron Jackson gave a polite smile, took the bottle of mineral water, and drank it all in one go.

“Hey, leave some for me!”

Karen swallowed, but with Aron Jackson having eaten a bellyful of candy, how could there be any water left?

So three seconds later, an empty bottle was tossed in front of Karen.

“Miss, I’m a bit thirsty too.”

Karen, with a thick face, smiled at the front desk attendant.

“Hello, the restroom is just inside there.”

The attendant smiled, stood up, and pointed the way for him.

“Hey! I really don’t know what’s not handsome about me!”

Karen sighed and was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Outside the door.”

He said alertly.

“Two people.”

Aron Jackson turned around and said indifferently, “I’ll be right back.”

Whoosh!

He moved like a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the front desk in an instant.

Leaving only a suitcase behind.

“Oh my goodness! Is he a track champion? That was so fast!”

The few attendants at the front desk widened their eyes in disbelief that this was all happening.

About half a minute later.

Aron Jackson returned to the front desk.

“All clear.”

“Upstairs.”

Karen took a meaningful look at the doorway, then turned and headed to his room upstairs.

…

“Boss, our guys were taken out without a sound!”

“`

Gonzalez City, Bronze Sparrow Platform.

Aron Jackson sat in his general manager’s office, saying nervously, “The other party might be an expert!”

Just five minutes ago, his three employees failed to send back intelligence at the designated time.

As Aron Jackson gathered nearby people to search, the method was very decisive.

Those Aron Jackson sent out to tail were all skilled, each with formidable abilities.

To be taken out quietly all at once, without a trace, he became completely unsettled.

Logically, if someone encountered danger, they would send a signal back to the main station immediately.

But these three had not made the slightest peep.

Clearly, they were taken out from behind without any guard!

And the death time of the three individuals definitely did not exceed two seconds.

Given the gravity of the situation, Aron Jackson didn’t dare hide anything and immediately called Julius Reed to report.

“The method is good, it’s an expert.”

Julius Reed responded indifferently after listening to the description.

“Could it be, people from Deep Cold?”

Aron Jackson tentatively guessed.

After all, with such keen alertness and formidable skills, it seemed only Deep Cold could achieve this.

A few days ago, Julius Reed indeed killed three Deep Cold generals, including the Three-Armed Underworld King.

This news, once it spread back, would definitely cause a severe sensation within Deep Cold.

To strike back in retaliation was also expected.

“No.”

Julius Reed answered definitively, “Deep Cold’s headquarters is currently under attack by Willson Pavilion, and they simply have no capacity to seek revenge in Gonzalez City.”

One day before, he had received a video call from Amadeus Fairbanks.

Because Deep Cold had lost a number of elites consecutively, Willson Pavilion had seized the initiative.

Apart from the covert operatives scattered outside, most of their elites were concentrated in Deep Cold’s headquarters.

And three days ago, Willson Pavilion had already intensified their offensive, trapping Deep Cold’s Shadow Warriors within a thirty-kilometer radius of their headquarters.

At such a time, for Deep Cold to make any significant move, they would first need to break through Willson Pavilion’s siege.

“Then who could it be…”

Aron Jackson was utterly bewildered.

He was responsible for monitoring any unusual individuals at the airport, dock, and bus stations.

Now he only knew that two individuals had peculiar identities and remarkable abilities but had no clue about their true identities.

“For those two, I’ll meet them personally when I’m free. Withdraw all personnel around the hotel to avoid unnecessary casualties,”

Julius Reed said, and then hung up the phone.

“Something wrong?”

Quella Radcliffe brought a plate of fish to the dining table, smiling at Julius Reed.

“Nothing important. The sky is big, the earth is big, but eating is biggest!”

Julius Reed chuckled and quickly took a seat at the table.

“It’s rare that it’s just the two of us today.”

He sniffed the fish on the table lightly, “Wife’s cooking skills have improved again! Without Anna Harris here, I can finally enjoy a meal.”

Usually, Quella Radcliffe didn’t cook much, and Anna Harris was always eager to eat, leaving Julius Reed often unsatisfied.

Today, Anna Harris had gone to attend some class reunion, and Dempsey Davenport had gone back to the outer house to live with her mother, leaving only the two of them in the house.

But just as Julius Reed picked up his chopsticks, wanting to savor the meal,

The door was suddenly opened.

Besides the couple, the only other person with keys was Anna Harris…

“My brother and sister-in-law insisted on coming to thank you for helping out last time,”

Following Anna Harris, Sergei Harris and Isaiah Kensington walked in with a bunch of things in their hands.

“Mr. Reed, thanks a lot!”

“Really, without the hundred thousand you gave us, Sergei’s hotpot restaurant couldn’t have survived till now.”

The straightforward pair set down their things and, seeing that Julius Reed and his wife were dining, they turned to leave.

“Stay and eat, I’m telling you, Quella’s cooking is amazing!”

Anna Harris pulled Sergei and Isaiah, insisting they not leave despite their hesitation.

“But…”

Sergei saw there was only one fish on the table. How would five people eat it?

“Julius Reed has already eaten, it’s fine.”

Anna Harris looked towards Quella, “Right?”

What could Quella say?

“If you’ve finished eating, you can leave the table!”

Anna Harris approached Julius Reed with a mischievous smile, smelling the fish on the table, “That smells so good!”
