Chapter 504: 504: I Heard You Want to Kill Me_1

The moment Beckett Carmichael saw Julius Reed, he knew exactly what was going on.

Among the four major families of the capital, which patriarch wasn’t cunning as a fox?

Who would have thought that Nando Brandon would bring disaster upon himself!

“Kid, this is Boss Carmichael from the capital, aren’t you going to come over and apologize!”

Despite his fear of the young man’s skill, Nando Brandon, buoyed by the presence of Beckett Carmichael, still felt somewhat emboldened.

It had to be admitted that Nando Brandon was frightened by Julius Reed.

“Boss Carmichael your ass!”

Slap!

Beckett Carmichael backhanded Nando Brandon, knocking him to the ground.

“CEO Carmichael, you…”

Nando Brandon was initially stunned, then asked with a sense of grievance, “Why did you hit me!”

Beckett Carmichael usually doted on him, spending a lot of money just to support him.

And now, he had even come directly from the capital to Gonzalez City just to be with him.

“What’s wrong with what he said! Aren’t you just a tool for my pleasure! Tell me, where did he go wrong!”

Beckett Carmichael pointed at Nando Brandon’s nose, his saliva flying, “How can you not recognize yourself? I lift you up because I want to, and crushing you is as simple as taking a dump!”

“Beckett…”

“Don’t fucking call me! You’re insulting my name!”

Beckett Carmichael furiously kicked Nando Brandon in the face, “You piece of shit, do you think you can offend just anyone!”

After speaking, he straightened his suit and scurried over to Julius Reed, bowing and scraping, “Sir, I didn’t know it was you… This bastard son…”

“It’s fine, it has nothing to do with you.”

Julius Reed spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Beckett Carmichael breathed a sigh of relief.

But Nando Brandon was utterly terrified.

Although he was Beckett Carmichael’s male pet, he often witnessed Beckett Carmichael handling affairs.

Many influential figures would grovel before Beckett Carmichael, acting as subservient as grandchildren.

Even when facing the other three families among the four great families, Beckett Carmichael only slightly restrained his personality.

But to behave like a groveling grandchild as he did before Reed, that was a first for Nando Brandon.

His mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning, going blank in an instant.

Looking at the young man before him now, Nando Brandon was full of fear.

“Sir, I was wrong… I was blind as a dog, I failed to recognize Mount Tai…”

Nando Brandon crawled towards Julius Reed like a dog.

Beckett Carmichael’s comment about crushing him easily scared Nando Brandon witless.

He had long grown accustomed to a life of luxury, surrounded by countless admirers.

If he had to return to his former status, he would rather die!

What’s more, he had given up his dignity as a man to be with Beckett Carmichael for so many years, and to lose everything overnight?

He couldn’t accept it!

“Throw him out!”

Beckett Carmichael gestured grandly and a bodyguard immediately came over and tossed Nando Brandon out like a dead dog.

“Don’t forget what needs to be done tomorrow! If you mess it up, I’ll kill your whole family!”

As Nando Brandon was thrown onto the street, these words from Beckett Carmichael reached his ears.

Tomorrow…

“Heh heh…”

Nando Brandon sat on the street, his face a mess, laughing foolishly.

“Sir, if I had known this grandson…”

“You didn’t know.”

Julius Reed smiled as he looked at Beckett Carmichael, “I’m not blaming you, it’s in the past.”

He was fairly satisfied with the Carmichael descendants.

Intelligent, loyal, and smart.

A promising prospect worth nurturing.

“Ah! Nevermind! I’ll entertain you well today, as my way of making an apology!”

After clasping his hands together, Beckett Carmichael gestured invitingly, “Sir, please!”

“Mm.”

Julius Reed, no longer standing on ceremony, walked ahead with his hands clasped behind his back.

The Northern restaurant is one of the few foreign-invested restaurants in Gonzalez City, built by an American businessman.

Locals are not accustomed to coming here.

There are too many rich people here, and it’s a mix of good and bad.

All of them are untouchable figures.

And those who come here are usually wealthy people from both abroad and within the country.

The consumption is extraordinarily high!

Far exceeding Twilight Mansion built by Ovidiu Cook.

But when it comes to the deliciousness of the cuisine, it is much inferior to Twilight Mansion.

That’s why it’s also called by the locals a restaurant good at swindling outlanders.

But Beckett Carmichael doesn’t care about these things; he has money.

A lot of money.

What he wants is not how the food is, but the treatment like an emperor and the pomp.

That is the most important thing.

Walking into the Northern restaurant, there are people of various colors, many foreign friends, with the few Chinese gathered together talking business.

Beckett Carmichael went directly to a very good spot and sat down with Julius Reed.

The window by their side offered a perfect view of the Gonzalez City docks.

The vast sea was pitch black at the time, with a few boats with their lights on, swaying nonstop.

The clearest view was of the Gonzalez City Lighthouse.

The spot’s unique location makes it one of the top three in terms of price within the Northern restaurant.

“Brother, I’ll go to the restroom first. I was in a hurry when I got here and didn’t want to keep you waiting…”

Beckett Carmichael said with an embarrassed smile.

“It’s okay, go ahead.”

Julius Reed nodded.

He arrived half an hour early, while Beckett Carmichael came twenty-five minutes early.

He was quite sincere, and he wasn’t late.

But Beckett Carmichael didn’t expect Julius Reed to arrive even earlier.

Since Beckett Carmichael had made a reservation beforehand,

several waiters standing behind him informed the kitchen, then quietly stood behind Julius Reed.

“Brother, I’m really counting on you for today’s matter! It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I truly have no choice!”

“No problem! Leave that kid to me. I’ve got nothing to do right now and plan to hang around in Gonzalez City for a while before heading back for the New Year. I’ll take care of this bastard for you!”

“This man is extremely cunning, so please be careful! I’ve dealt with him before, and all my bodyguards were incapacitated!”

“No worries, brother. I have plenty of people at my disposal!”

While Julius Reed was contemplating matters in Five-river Province, a familiar voice reached his ears.

“Stacy Cook?”

He turned around and caught sight of Stacy Cook.

“It’s you!”

Stacy Cook’s complexion changed drastically upon seeing Julius Reed!

He would recognize that youth even if he turned to ashes!

He returned with great pomp, swearing to lead the Cook Family to become the number one family in Gonzalez City!

But who knew that he would be beaten down like a dog by the youth before him, begging for mercy on his knees!

“It’s me, what a coincidence.”

Julius Reed said with a smile.

Next to Stacy Cook stood a middle-aged man, looking quite drunk as if the two had been drinking a lot.

“You know him?”

The drunken man glanced at Stacy Cook and pointed at Julius Reed, “An acquaintance?”

“More than just knowing or being an acquaintance!”

Stacy Cook replied with a cold laugh, “He’s practically an enemy!”

The enmity between the two was deep as the sea!

Stacy Cook fervently wished he could kill Julius Reed but had been unable to do so himself, which is why he had brought in this drunken man.

“He…”

The drunken man frowned and asked, “The person you were just talking about?”

“That’s right.”

Julius Reed smiled lightly and said, “I hear you’re planning to kill me?”
