Chapter 534: 534 Sophia Leocadia's Thoughts_1

“How about it? I can arrange for someone to take you to the airport.”

At the Gonzalez City docks, Julius Reed leapt up and approached Sophia Leocadia.

The young Leocadia princess, whose face was now pale, had dropped her binoculars on the ground.

Her gaze was vacant, her face clearly streaked with tears.

“She only broke down a little after you fought off the last person,”

Aron Jackson shrugged his shoulders, pointing at the tear stains on Sophia’s eyes, and explained, “She cried when the first dart hit you. I told her the boss couldn’t possibly die, but she wouldn’t listen. She insisted the human body can’t be faster than the dart and almost called the police. Luckily, I stopped her.”

“Silly sweet girl.”

Beckett Carmichael chimed in, “But indeed, she’s a beauty in the making.”

Julius Reed paid no attention to these two, instead he took off the cloak from behind him and draped it slowly over Sophia Leocadia.

The air was cold, the wind strong.

The young girl was already shivering from the cold.

“Are you okay?”

He asked softly.

It was indeed cruel to let a young girl witness such a scene.

But had he not done so, Sophia Leocadia wouldn’t have left.

To cut off her thoughts, Julius Reed had to do this.

But now, he felt some regret.

It could leave a deep psychological scar on Sophia Leocadia.

“You…don’t scare me.”

The usually resolute and indifferent Julius Reed seemed rather helpless and worried at this moment.

Sophia Leocadia, with her innocent character, had not forgotten his help from many years ago.

Julius Reed didn’t have the heart to hurt such a girl.

Having lived for so many years, he increasingly recognized how rare and precious the quality of gratitude was.

Moreover, for over a decade, this young girl had been looking for him.

“Uh…”

But suddenly, Sophia Leocadia burst into tears with a loud wail.

She hugged Julius Reed tightly, crying inconsolably.

“This…ah!”

Julius Reed sighed and patted her head with resignation.

After all, she was just a girl, and she had been quite frightened.

It seemed that after returning to the capital, he’d have to find a good psychologist.

Otherwise, Sophia Leocadia’s life might be ruined.

“Quick, run away! Take me with you… There’s still a billion in my card, enough for us to live on for a lifetime. Julius, take me away quickly, it will be too late soon… If you get caught, I’ll never see you again in my life…”

Sophia Leocadia cried out.

This time, it was Julius Reed who was stunned.

“You… aren’t scared?”

He swallowed hard, feeling unable to comprehend.

“I’m scared… Of course I’m scared… but you’ve killed so many people, you must be shot… Please, take me with you!”

Sophia Leocadia cried even harder.

“Uh…”

Julius Reed scratched his head and managed a weak smile, “Actually, these people are international fugitives who came to endanger the safety of our Chinese people. Me, I’m doing a public service, and I’ll even get a reward for it!”

“Really?”

Hearing him say this, Sophia Leocadia lifted her head, blinking her tearful eyes, and asked, “You mustn’t lie to me!”

If it was true, Julius no longer had to be shot.

“Of course! If you don’t believe me, ask… If you don’t believe me, ask Beckett Carmichael, he’s a well-known figure in the capital! If I really murdered someone, wouldn’t he be an accomplice?”

Julius Reed comforted her, “You think our big boss Carmichael would make that kind of mistake?”

“Well, that’s true!”

Sophia Leocadia burst into tears and laughter at the same time, grabbing Julius Reed, “You scared me to death!”

Beckett Carmichael’s status was much like that of Old Master Leocadia, both heads of one of the four great families.

From this perspective, Sophia Leocadia really didn’t believe that Beckett Carmichael would become an accomplice.

If this matter were to be exposed, it would mean losing one’s head.

Why would Beckett Carmichael, who owned countless fortunes, take this risk?

“It’s alright… Are you… alright? I was worried, afraid that I’d scared you.”

Julius Reed asked, but what he really meant was…

I’m someone who has killed countless people, you should leave.

However…

“I won’t leave, I feel safe with you! Just think, if someone bullies me, I’ll just say my husband has killed more than thirty people!”

Sophia Leocadia excitedly said, “Then who would dare to bully me? They would definitely be scared out of their wits.”

“I… Miss Leocadia, please listen to my advice.”

Julius Reed took a deep breath, feeling helpless for the first time.

Still, killing was thrilling.

Talking sense into a woman, too troublesome.

“You’ve been away from home for so long, why don’t you go back first? Otherwise your family will worry.”

Julius Reed said reluctantly.

The private outing of Miss Leocadia would certainly tug at the hearts of the Leocadia Family Members.

With the Leocadia Family’s capabilities, it would be a breeze to track down Sophia Leocadia’s movements.

“No problem, this time, I came with family members, and dad knows about it.”

Sophia Leocadia said cheerfully.

It was a sharp contrast to her earlier agony.

And all this happened in a matter of minutes.

Indeed.

A woman’s face changes too quickly.

Just like flipping through a book.

“You and your family members?”

Julius Reed felt something was amiss.

“Sophia Leocadia, what is the Leocadia Family doing in Gonzalez City?”

Beckett Carmichael was also surprised.

He had been keeping a close watch on the Leocadia Family.

If there was a big movement, how could he not know?

“Uncle Carmichael, do I have to report to you what I do?”

Sophia Leocadia asked back coldly with her hands behind her back.

“Ah… you little girl, I…”

“Cough cough!”

Julius Reed coughed, Beckett Carmichael’s eyes shifted, and he immediately changed his tone, “Miss Leocadia, that’s not it, we just wanted to know, right?”

Beckett Carmichael glanced at Julius Reed, relieved that there was no anomaly.

Indeed, men are all scoundrels.

Saying they want someone to go back, yet they actually care deep down.

But these were words Beckett Carmichael dared not say out loud, in case he offended Julius Reed…

The scene on the ship earlier, he had seen it all too clearly.

It was too frightening!

“Our Leocadia Family is holding an exhibition in Gonzalez City, located on the first floor of the Five-state International Building.”

Sophia Leocadia, looking quite satisfied with Beckett Carmichael’s reaction, continued, “This time, due to the upcoming New Year, we are having a five-day holiday market starting from the Little New Year. Many of our Leocadia Family’s branded products will be on display. And of course, there’s a very high-end gallery, which you can only enter with an invitation.”

“Why in Gonzalez City?”

Beckett Carmichael suddenly remembered that the Leocadia Family did indeed have an exhibition here.

“Because Gonzalez City is near the port, it’s one of the places where there’s the greatest chance to interact with foreign merchants. Additionally, the business alliance that has been causing such a stir is also one of the reasons why our family decided to have the exhibition here.”

Sophia Leocadia blinked at Julius Reed, “How about it, will you accompany me to the exhibition later? Everything there is valuable! Ordinary people can’t get in at all!”

“To see chamber pots?”

Julius Reed shook his head, “Not interested!”

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the sedan.

How is it that after killing so many people, he still couldn’t scare away a young girl?
