Chapter 569: 569: His Name is Julius Reed_1
Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
The next day, explosive news swept across the nation.
The exhibition held by the Leocadia Family in Five-river Province had been smashed!
Smashed to pieces!
News about the Leocadia Family was always big news.
Such an embarrassing incident involving one of the four major families instantly captured the attention of the entire country.
But then the Leocadia Family stepped out to deny the rumors, claiming that the incident the day before was entirely staged.
The reason was that they had evacuated and dispersed tourists minutes earlier.
It was a test of the Leocadia Familyâs ability to respond to emergencies on the fly.
They also claimed that they had discussed the matter in advance with Itai Huntington, the person in charge of Five-state International in Gonzalez City, and both parties were fairly satisfied with the outcome.

Itai Huntington even stepped forward to clarify the situation.
But many people felt that things were not so simple.
âBig brother, you went a bit too far this time, it made the news and went viral,â
Inside the Copper Sparrow Platform, Julius Reed and Aron Jackson sat on the sofa of the Azure Dragon Hall, eating fruit and watching the news on TV.
âIt must have been tough for the Leocadia Family to come up with such a method. But you know, many people might actually believe it.â
Aron Jackson said with a smile, peeling grapes.
He wasnât worried at all about smashing the place up.
As long as Julius Reed said the word, even if it meant death, he would dare to do it!
âThe Leocadia Family must be furious,â
Julius Reed picked up an apple, crossed his legs, and as he peeled the apple, he said, âThey definitely wonât let this go, we have to be careful both openly and secretly. Oh, and keep a close watch on everyone coming and going lately, I bet the Leocadia Family will definitely send someone to Gonzalez City to investigate this secretly.â
Even though the Leocadia Family made a statement in the news, such a large family was destined not to let this slide.
Their covert actions would not be few.
âDonât worry, the airports, ports, and bus stations are all manned by my people. Any unfamiliar face from the capital, Iâve got them all on record.â
Aron Jackson asked with a grape in his mouth and a smirk, âBig brother, why are you so free these days, dropping by my place? Whatâs up, did your sister-in-law kick you out?â
With a mischievous grin, he teased, âCould it be that youâre helping Itai Huntington get revenge, and your sister-in-law got jealous? If you asked me, Iâd say lay down the law, take them all!â
âShut up!â
Julius Reed glared at him irritably, âIn my heart, thereâs only your sister-in-law. As for Itai Huntington, she got into trouble because she was helping me. Youâve followed me for so many years, donât you know what kind of person I am?â
âI know, I know!â
Aron Jackson quickly nodded, while slyly smiling, âBig brother, Itai Huntington is a married woman, thatâs a different flavor! And donât even mention Jennifer Lopez from last time, that really made me⦠hissâ¦â
Aron Jackson took a deep breath, his face full of longing, âI miss it so much!â
âSince you like her so much, I can catch her for you to be your wife, how about that?â
Julius Reed said with a cold laugh.
âNo! No!â
Aron Jackson quickly waved his hand, âI was just saying. By the way, Jennifer Lopez has been unusually quiet recently, has she given up on revenge?â
âThat woman has a strong desire for revenge! She is probably scheming something big in the shadows.â
Julius Reed tossed the apple core in his hand, throwing it accurately into the trash bin ten meters away.
âThud! Thud! Thud!â
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the Azure Dragon Hall.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Aron Jackson called out.
âBig brother, thereâs a man named Jack downstairs who wants to talk to you,â
Dominating Tiger entered and respectfully greeted Julius Reed, âHe says itâs about the issue of our docks detaining their smuggled goods.â
âLet him in.â
Aron Jackson said, legs still crossed.
âA few days ago, I happened to encounter a batch of smuggled goods at the docks. Big brother, guess how much?â
He said mysteriously.
âIâm not guessing!â
Julius Reed refused outright.
âHey! Billions! Good grief, an American on the ship threatened me, and I threw him straight into the sea. Wouldnât you know, a week later, the owner shows up!â
Aron Jackson stood up, straightening his clothes.
â`
âIâll go wait in the next room; youâre busy,â he said.
Julius Reed picked up two apples and walked towards the room inside.
The Azure Dragon Hall was very large, with a total of ten rooms!
In addition to a spacious living room, there were nine other rooms of a few dozen square meters each.
Soon, the door to the Azure Dragon Hall was knocked upon once more.
âCome in!â
Aron Jackson sat back in his chair, propped up his legs in a lordly manner, and took on the posture of a boss.
âMay I ask if you are Mr. Aron Jackson?â
After the door was pushed open, a middle-aged man and a young man walked in.
âThatâs me. And you areâ¦?â
Aron Jackson sized them up from head to toe and remained seated without moving an inch.
âMy name is Jack Moore, and this is my nephew, Jack Lau.â
Jack Moore approached Aron Jackson with a respectful smile, âWeâve come to discuss some matters with Mr. Jackson, the boss.â
âPlease, sit down. Guests should be made comfortable,â Aron Jackson said, gesturing with his hand, prompting the uncle and nephew to sit down cautiously.
âWe have a batch of goods that your people intercepted,â Jack Moore began with a smile, âThis batch is very important to us. We ask that you kindly let us off this time, Mr. Jackson.â
âWellâ¦â
Aron Jackson leaned back on the sofa, his face showing difficulty.
âI understand, I understand!â
Quickly, Jack Moore took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Aron Jackson, âThere are three hundred million in here, a token of gratitude for the trouble youâve gone through these past days to keep our goods safe. Itâs not much, but itâs a small gesture from our Moore family.â
âAhem. Youâre too kind,â Aron Jackson said, waving it off with a smile as Dominating Tiger immediately took the card.
âThe cardâs PIN is six eights, symbolizing even greater prosperity for Mr. Jackson.â
While Jack Moore was speaking, Jack Lauâs body suddenly shuddered.
âYour nephew doesnât look too well. Is he unwell?â
Aron Jackson tilted his head to look at Jack Lau, âI have a doctor here who can check on you if you need.â
âNo⦠Iâm fine. Thank you, Mr. Jackson.â
Jack Lau spoke while his forehead was covered with sweat.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Jack Moore also noticed his nephewâs abnormal condition.
âItâs nothing. Itâs just that meeting Mr. Jackson for the first time is a bit frightening. Please excuse my rudeness,â Jack Lau said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and giving an embarrassed smile.
âWhy are you afraid? Iâm not going to eat you!â
Mr. Jackson spread his hands and said with a smile, âI really like making friends with straightforward people like Mr. Moore. As for the goods, Iâll have my men accompany you to check them shortly. If thereâs no problem, just take them and go.â
Money taken, the goods should naturally be delivered.
Thatâs the rule.
âThank you so much, Mr. Jackson. Itâs just thatâ¦â
Jack Moore hesitated.
âIf you have anything else to say, donât hesitate! Weâre all straightforward people here; thereâs no need to beat around the bush,â Aron Jackson said with a smile.
âThereâs another favor Iâd like to ask of Mr. Jackson.â
Standing up, Jack Moore spoke somewhat sheepishly, âItâs a rather difficult request. My nephew was beaten up by someone yesterday, here in Gonzalez City. Iâm sure thereâs no one Mr. Jackson canât handle.â
âOh? Thatâs a minor issue.â
Aron Jackson raised an eyebrow and asked, âTo have someone so blind as to cross you, tell me his name, and Iâll send someone to bring him over to apologize to your nephew right now.â
âThank you, Mr. Jackson. Tell Mr. Jackson quick, whatâs that personâs name?â
Jack Moore looked to his nephew.
âHis name is Julius Reed.â
Jack Lau spoke up.
