Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 541: Chapter 541 Too Disappointing_1

“Ouch!”

Jake Carmichael, already plump and corpulent, fell to the ground like a human meat bomb, instantly drawing a crowd of onlookers.

For someone of his high status, losing money wasn’t scary—after all, he had plenty of it.

But his pride was not something he could afford to lose at any cost!

Even if the people present didn’t recognize him, he had to regain his dignity.

“Honey, are you okay?”

The woman hurried over and, with all her might, managed to help the nearly 300-pound Jake Carmichael to his feet.

“Cough cough!”

Jake Carmichael felt a surge of blood and air rush to his chest, seeing stars before his eyes.

He had rarely ever been hit like this as he grew up.

In the family, although he was from a collateral branch, his excellent public relations skills had won him quite a bit of respect.

No matter what, he was a member of the Carmichael family.

In the capital, the name Carmichael changed people’s expressions.

And now, he had been hit in a place like Gonzalez City, where birds wouldn’t even bother to poop—wouldn’t it be a laughing stock if word got out?

“You little bastard, you’re dead today!”

Jake Carmichael pulled out his phone and called a friend in Gonzalez City, “Old Four, I’ve been beaten up at the exhibition! Bring the guys over, I need to vent my anger!”

After that, he pointed his phone at Julius Reed, “If you can walk out of here on your feet today, I’ll take your last name!”

Old Four was a friend who had come over from the capital with him. On the eve of the New Year, all these executives were on collective leave, traveling around the country.

They had just heard that Gonzalez City was hosting an exhibition and had come here in droves.

It’s just that last night those guys and their female companions had partied too hard and hadn’t gotten up yet.

Only Jake Carmichael was still full of energy, and after getting up in the morning, he came out for a walk with his female companion.

Little did he expect to run into such bad luck.

“Boss, you better go. This boss here is a rich man; you can’t afford to offend him. I was the one who hit him, and I’ll take the consequences.”

Nicolo Marsh, who had finally reacted, walked up to Julius Reed with a face as pale as death.

“Afraid of what?”

Julius Reed looked at Jake Carmichael and said with a faint smile, “Just a paper tiger, this kind of trash, hitting him is serving justice to the people!”

“You…”

Jake Carmichael laughed in fury. He looked around at the men and women before him and sneered, “Just wait. I’ll take all your female companions away and properly break them in for you! As for you, how about I break both of your legs first?”

Quella Radcliffe was beautiful, and Anna Harris wasn’t bad either.

As for Sophia Leocadia, who had remained silent the entire time, Jake Carmichael was even more envious.

It was only Nicolo Marsh who paled a bit in comparison, but after all, she was a young girl untouched by man, and it would be a delightful thing to break her in.

“Are you… serious?”

Julius Reed, looking amused, glanced at Jake Carmichael, sending a chill down the spine of the middle-aged man.

“Heh, just you wait and see! But don’t say I didn’t warn you, not one of these women will get away!”

Jake Carmichael took a deep breath and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shaking as he tried to light up.

For some reason, facing a young man, he felt a bit afraid.

Whoosh!

Before he could get his lighter to work, Julius Reed threw a punch!

Thump!

The cigarettes and lighter scattered on the floor as Jake Carmichael cried out in pain, clutching his face.

“What’s going on here? Is someone hitting someone?”

“Hey! That fat guy wanted to mess with that young guy’s women, that’s asking for it, right?”

“Well hit! That fatso, still hanging around with a girl in her twenties, she’s a slut too!”

People around were pointing and commenting nonstop.

The exhibition was already bustling with people, and seeing the crowd gathered here, many visitors couldn’t help but come over to join the commotion.

“Boss, are we just going to stand by and watch? Could this negatively affect our reputation at Five-state International?”

At the balcony on the second floor, a manager behind Itai Huntington voiced his concern.

This exhibition was a collaboration between Five-state International and the Leocadia Family’s High-heaven Group in the capital.

It was also seen as the first trial run of the corporate alliance.

Many enterprises participated in it, investing money and effort, intending to make the exhibition extraordinarily significant.

Furthermore, with Nando Brandon’s endorsement, many rich families’ daughters flew here from all over the country.

Being a fan could be terrifying.

Itai Huntington, with a sharp business acumen, even set up a special ‘Brandon Shop.’

Here, fans could not only meet Nando Brandon up close but also purchase a plethora of products he endorsed.

Items like plush pillows, mobile phones, and even cups and sanitary pads—there was a Nando Brandon custom edition for everything.

Companies that had been worried earlier about getting their working capital tied up due to overstocking didn’t expect that these items would sell out in half a day.

At that moment, it was undoubtedly an opportunity for Itai Huntington and Quella Radcliffe to expand their influence once again.

If someone caused trouble at Five-state International and annoyed the Leocadia family, the consequences were unimaginable.

The reputation of the Gonzalez City corporate alliance would be thoroughly ruined.

“No need, Quella Radcliffe is down there. As the general manager of the corporate alliance, she’s capable of handling it. After all, although I’m the chairman, I can’t hog all the limelight, right?”

A smile curled up on Itai Huntington’s lips.

She also wanted to see how Julius Reed would deal with someone from the affluent and powerful Carmichael family in the capital.

This was no ordinary rich person; this was an aristocratic family.

If he couldn’t even handle a branch of the aristocratic Reed family, how could he help her regain everything she had lost within her own family?

“Inform all security personnel not to interfere over there.”

Leaning on the rail, Itai Huntington spoke with interest to herself, “Julius Reed, oh Julius Reed, don’t disappoint your sister.”

“You little bastard… hiss… when my brother arrives, I’ll make your life a living hell!”

Jake Carmichael trembled as he accepted a handkerchief a woman beside him handed over and gently wiped the blood from his nose.

One of his eyes, swollen like a panda’s, could no longer be opened.

“So, it’s a numbers game?”

Julius Reed nodded with a smile: “I’ll play along.”

After speaking, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Boss, what’s up?”

“Someone threatened to lay hands on your sister-in-law and beat me up.”

“Where are you, boss?”

“Five-state International Building, first floor.”

“Five minutes!”

After the call ended, Julius Reed squatted on the ground, grinning at Jake Carmichael: “Today, only one of us is walking out of here.”

“Heh, you truly don’t know who I am!”

Jake Carmichael took two instinctive steps back, struggling to stand up, his heart pounding as he stared at Julius Reed: “I will make your life hell!”

Just then, a cacophony of car horns came from outside.

“My brother’s here! Now you’re dead!”

Hearing this sound, Jake Carmichael became excited once again.

“Is that so. I look forward to it.”

Julius Reed turned around to see a group of about a dozen men entering through the revolving glass doors of the lobby.

They looked fierce, each one exuding an aura of menace.

“Is this all… the trash you brought?”

Julius Reed’s eyes narrowed, and he shook his head: “You’ve really disappointed me.”
