Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Almost Became a Eunuch_1

Ever since that day he was humiliated at Twilight Mansion, Julius Reed actually spread the video, causing the Cook Family’s reputation to be dragged through the mud.

But Bran Cook, through aggressive public relations, had managed to turn the tide of public opinion.

Now, in the eyes of most people, Julius Reed was nothing but a bully preying on the weaker, a veritable villain!

And Bran Cook was seen as bearing his burdens stoically, the victim of bullying.

Additionally, these entrepreneurs redirected all the blame towards Quella Radcliffe, leading to today where everyone contradicted the General Manager in unison.

“How has Mr. Cook been recently? Making you kneel like a dog begging for food that day, I do feel somewhat remorseful.”

Julius Reed said with an air of guilt.

No sooner had he spoken than Bran Cook’s complexion changed on the spot!

What do you mean kneeling like a dog?

Is this an apology?

It’s sheer bragging!

Strutting around in front of him!

“Mr. Reed, your words are a bit too much!”

Before Bran Cook could speak up, the owner of the Gonzalez City Jewelry Store, Coby Marsh, chimed in.

He had a good relationship with Bran Cook and even considered marrying his daughter to him.

After all, such a promising young man had made something of himself in the capital; returning to Gonzalez City would be like a phoenix settling in a chicken coop!

Finding such a son-in-law was like waking up laughing from a dream.

And Bran Cook, having neither agreed nor rejected, had, after Coby Marsh’s daughter took the initiative to show interest, dined with her alone several times.

This only solidified Coby Marsh’s determination to win over Bran Cook!

Should Bran Cook stage a comeback and become the chairman of the commercial alliance, taking himself as a father-in-law, he would definitely make a fortune!

A sure-win deal!

Therefore, within the commercial alliance, he rallied his friends to support Bran Cook with all their might, an expression of his sincerity.

“Ha! The humiliation under the crotch that Truett Yarrow once suffered is nothing in our great culture. Mr. Reed, don’t be too pleased with yourself too soon! No one cares about the loss or gain of one city, one territory, we look to the long-term future!”

Bran Cook maintained his dignity and composure, and his eloquence not only revealed his substance but also showed everyone his resilience.

“Well said!”

Coby Marsh proclaimed righteously, “Some are short-sighted, how can sparrows understand the ambitions of a swan?”

He had to stand by his prospective son-in-law!

In Gonzalez City’s jewelry business, Coby Marsh was the most successful.

And Bran Cook had privately promised, if Bright-Sky International wanted to open a second store in Gonzalez City, he would refuse.

Within three years, he would expand Coby Marsh’s jewelry store to Five-river Province and increase its profits tenfold!

With this promise, Coby Marsh was even more enthusiastic.

“Right! A villain’s triumph!”

“Look at that smirk, the restlessness of youth; you should really learn from Bran Cook!”

“Exactly! Look at someone who’s returned from abroad, he speaks differently! And then look at this son-in-law, completely a villain’s face! What a gap, what a gap!”

Coby Marsh’s friends also echoed his sentiments, and everyone looked at Julius Reed with contempt.

As if speaking another word to Julius Reed would stain their own status!

“Sorry, I’m short-sighted, only like to look at what’s in front of me. I only know Young Master Cook kneeled before me like a dog, watching me eat, and didn’t dare to move the whole time. As for your so-called future, that sounds like wishful thinking, right? Who knows about the future? For all you know, Bran Cook might kneel a second time, and that time won’t be too far away!”

Julius Reed said with a smiling face.

Bran Cook’s face turned ashen.

This statement made perfect sense; who could predict the future with clarity?

He too wished to see Julius Reed kneeling before him, but without the strength to do so now, he could only pretend to console himself with thoughts of the long-term.

Stacy Cook, so formidable, with countless superior employees, still fell into Julius Reed’s hands, just like other members of the Cook Family, all kneeling upright!

His so-called invincible bodyguards, in a single encounter, were beaten so badly their tendons were all severed and to this day, haven’t gotten up from the hospital bed.

Bran Cook could only choose to bide his time, waiting for an opportunity!

An opportunity for a fatal blow!

“Keep fantasizing, Mr. Cook, I’m going in with my wife!”

Julius Reed offered a faint smile and then turned, pulling Quella Radcliffe with him as they made their way toward the Five-state International Building.

The position of the wine reception was in the first-floor dining hall, which was a three-minute walk further in.

“What a joke! He’s just a son-in-law who married into the family, yet he acts like he’s somebody!”

No sooner had Julius Reed left than a businessman behind him scoffed with disdain.

“Exactly, who’s to say that everything today wasn’t the result of his wife sleeping around? Otherwise, how could the nearly bankrupt Radcliffe Group have been revived and obtained a large sum of cash from the bank?”

Coby Marsh shook his head and said with a look of contempt, “What’s there to boast about with that?”

He had barely finished speaking when he felt someone patting his back.

“Who’s there!”

Coby Marsh turned around with a frown, only to find Julius Reed, who had left earlier, had appeared behind him like a ghost at some point.

Silent as the grave.

“I won’t give you a second chance to say that again because there are some words that you can only say once in your lifetime!”

Whiz!

Julius Reed threw a punch that landed squarely on Coby Marsh’s face!

Thump!

The man, who was nearly fifty years old, flew back four or five meters like a kite with its string cut.

He then hit the ground hard.

Blood was coming out of his mouth and nose!

“Pah!”

Coby Marsh endured the intense pain and spat out blood, only to realize he had lost two front teeth!

The remaining two were gold and also hung crookedly, almost ready to fall out.

“You… you wait there!”

Coby Marsh got up from the ground and was about to confront Julius Reed!

He had lived a life of luxury and was highly respected in Gonzalez City; when had he ever been threatened like this?

It was absolutely outrageous!

“Today, I’ll skin you alive!”

He had just mentioned Bran Cook and now he was beaten up like this; where was his dignity?

Whiz!

But just as he had run five steps, Julius Reed, without turning back, flicked three darts towards his feet!

Two of the darts struck just one centimeter in front of Coby Marsh’s toes, damaging his shoes!

The third dart whizzed by the crotch of his pants, ripping a hole straight through them.

Half a centimeter higher, and he would have become the new eunuch of Ancient Time.

“Mr. Marsh! Are you okay?”

“Don’t chase him!”

“Are you injured?”

A few entrepreneurs immediately gathered around!

Although they were scared, after Julius Reed had fired the three shots and strode away, they dared to approach.

“No… I’m fine…”

Coby Marsh’s legs went weak, and his pants were actually wet.

Coby Marsh, the jewelry tycoon of Gonzalez City with an asset worth hundreds of millions, had actually wet his pants!

“Mr. Marsh, don’t take it to heart. Now everyone understands why I had to kneel at Twilight Mansion. He’s too much!”

Bran Cook saw his chance and came over to fuel the fire.

“Call the police, he’s carrying concealed weapons!”

Coby Marsh gasped for air with trembling legs, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death, especially with the cool breeze whooshing through the crotch of his pants!

“Great! This time, he’s going to sit in jail for a long time! This is premeditated murder! Look, there’s a surveillance camera here!”

Bran Cook happily took out his phone and dialed the emergency number.
