Chapter 483: 483: At My Feet_1
Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
âMr. Reed, what exactly do you mean?â
Osby Michael kept asking, how could promises be retracted?
They couldnât be retracted!
He had fought tooth and nail for all of this, just to survive, but now!
Were his hopes to be dashed?
âI say what I mean,â
Julius Reed said, smiling.
âThen youâ¦â
Before Osby Michael could finish speaking, Houston Green suddenly shouted, âIf weâre going to die, letâs go together! No one is getting out of this alive!â
After his shout, Houston Green took an iron spike and thrust it straight through Osby Michaelâs throat and carotid artery.
âYou⦠you⦠didnât dieâ¦â
Osby Michaelâs body trembled, and after uttering those final words, he fell to the ground, motionless.

âGeneral Whitaker, what the hell is going on?â
The assistant from Enlighten Group sat in the backseat of the Mercedes, looking at the sweating Arvid Woody.
The deputy general manager, after receiving a phone call, rushed urgently toward Phoenix Terrace, looking extremely anxious.
âDimitri Leopold and the others, theyâve run into trouble! We have to go rescue them fast!â
Arvid Woody pulled out his phone, starting to think about whom to call for help.
In Gonzalez City, the toughest was Aron Jackson, but that didnât mean others didnât have clout.
Phoenix Terrace happened to be Aron Jacksonâs property, so Arvid Woody made him the first call.
âHello, is this Phoenix Terrace? I am the deputy general manager of Enlighten Group, Arvid Woody.â
âSorry, Aron Jackson is out on business, please call back later,â
Upon hearing Arvid Woody introduce himself, the front desk clerk didnât say a second word and hung up the phone.
âWhat the⦠Fuck! What does that mean!â
Arvid Woody cursed.
Since coming here, heâd dealt with Aron Jackson many times, given money and women.
Now his own people had an incident at Phoenix Terrace, yet he had no way to contact the owner there.
How could he not be infuriated?
âGeneral Whitaker, what if you try someone else?â
The assistant suggested at his side.
Someone as important as Aron Jackson was seldom free to take a call.
Moreover, with the entire groupâs busy schedule, tracking Aron Jacksonâs whereabouts indeed was difficult.
âFine! Then Iâll call the chairman of the Business Alliance, Itai Huntington!â
Arvid Woody tentatively began searching for Itai Huntingtonâs number.
Although the chairman of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance was a renowned figure, Arvid Woody had a rather pleasant time discussing a partnership with her.
The widow of deadly repute, frightening to hear of, didnât seem that intimidating and actually had a certain charm.
After the call went through, it was quickly answered.
âGeneral Whitaker, what can I do for you? Is it about the partnership we discussed last time?â
Itai Huntingtonâs voice came through the receiver, full of vigor.
âItâs like this.â
Arvid Woody organized his thoughts and began, âMy people, theyâve run into a bit of trouble at Phoenix Terrace, I canât get through on the phone, canât contact anyone, and Aron Jackson isnât at Phoenix Terrace. I was hoping youâ¦â
âWhat trouble have they caused?â
Itai Huntingtonâs tone dropped, clearly sensing the seriousness of the situation.
âDonât say I didnât warn you, in Gonzalez City, no one can call on Aron Jackson. If thereâs trouble in his place, Aron Jackson wonât ignore it. Your people must have crossed Aron Jackson.â
Upon hearing this, Arvid Woody realized.
Right, who dared to cause a scene at Aron Jacksonâs stronghold?
Even strangers causing trouble there would be thrown out, or worse, put in danger!
Did they have a death wish, stirring up trouble at Phoenix Terrace?
Forget Aron Jackson, any groupâs boss wouldnât tolerate such an incident.
And he had just tried calling Aron Jackson, and the man was not there!
What a coincidence, huh?
âMiss Huntington, if that is really the case, then I can only beg you for help! Today, itâs you lending a hand, and I assure you, you most certainly wonât be working in vain.â
General Whitakerâs forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his assistant kept wiping it off.
Offending Aron Jackson in Gonzalez City can have very serious consequences.
It now seems that the only person who could talk to Aron Jackson was Itai Huntington.
âMiss Huntington, I beg you, please help!â
Although the three agents werenât exceptionally outstanding, they were still under his leadership; how would he explain this back at the company?
Moreover, the concert hadnât even started, and the whole Enlighten Group had put in countless efforts and resources to plan Nando Brandonâs concert!
After offending Aron Jackson, could this concert still go on?
The only option was to ask Itai Huntington to mediate this.
The chairman of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance did have that much clout.
âI will try my best, but I canât guarantee if I can persuade the person in question. If indeed I manage to persuade them, itâs going to cost you a lot.â
After a moment of silence, Itai Huntington spoke up.
âThatâs fine! Money is not an issue! Rest assured, Miss Huntington, Iâm now waiting for your news!â
General Whitaker was ecstatic.
The matter of money could be settled by those three agents!
After all, the Enlighten Group was wealthy, and these three had also made a lot of money for the company in the past.
Now, connecting with Aron Jackson and resolving the misunderstanding was of the utmost importance.
After the concert ended, would he still care about these issues?
After hanging up the phone, Itai Huntington hesitated for a moment before nonetheless dialing Julius Reedâs number.
She thought this was an opportunity for Julius Reed to connect with the executives of Enlighten Group and possibly get Nando Brandon to endorse them.
It would prevent him from being too harshly oppressed by Bran Cook.
For the same reason, she needed two powers to check each other, so she could thrive in between.
If any side became too strong, that wouldnât be good for her.
âHello, is this the employee brother? Missing your sister yet?â
After getting through to Julius Reed, Itai Huntington still greeted him with her signature flirtatious tone.
To her, these trivialities were nothing at all.
âAny issue?â
Julius Reed asked, his voice sounding.
His tone was very indifferent.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Even across the phone, Itai Huntington could feel the bone-chilling cold.
âIf thereâs nothing, then Iâll hang up.â
Julius Reed said indifferently.
âThe thing isâ¦â
Itai Huntington took a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable pressure.
âSomeone⦠someone has caused trouble at the Bronze Sparrow Platform, and I suspect they have provoked Aron Jackson. As far as I know, you seem to have a good relationship with Aron Jackson, and moreover, the person in question is from Enlighten Group. Their artist, Nando Brandon, is holding a concert in Gonzalez City.â
âIf youâre willing to help with this, I believe they would also be happy to have Nando Brandon do the endorsement. Then, when facing Bran Cook, you will hold the upper hand.â
Itai Huntington got straight to the point, without any hemming and hawing.
It was the first time she had ever felt that Julius Reed was like this, frightening.
He was indifferent like a machine.
âThose people didnât provoke Aron Jackson.â
Julius Reed stated without a hint of emotion in his voice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow⦠how do you know?â
Itai Huntington was surprised.
Did Julius Reed not even need to make a phone call to ask? Or was it that he was currently with Aron Jackson?
If that were the case, then who in the world dared to cause trouble at the Bronze Sparrow Platform?
Aron Jackson didnât know about it?
âBecause they are under my feet.â
Right after Julius Reed finished speaking, Itai Huntingtonâs phone âclatteredâ to the ground.
