Chapter 659: Chapter 659 Fishing_1
Gonzalez City, Azure Percival.
Ovidiu Cook’s brother, Ludo Cook, was standing guard at the reception, trembling with fear.
This morning, Azure Percival had been booked by Ivan Reed himself.
And for the next three days, it could not conduct business with others.
The entire hotel staff, including the chefs, had been given time off, and were completely taken over by Ivan Reed’s people.
This eccentric elder from one of the four major families in the capital had brought his many foster sons and followers, and stayed in the Emperor’s Hall of Azure Percival for a whole day!
...
No one knew what had transpired that day.
Even Ludo Cook had no right to approach the Emperor’s Hall.
He could only stand guard at the reception.
“So you still refuse to speak?”
On the sofa in the Emperor’s Hall, Ivan Reed’s eyes were slightly closed as he incessantly fiddled with the Buddha Beads in his hand.
Kneeling before him was Elwood Thorneycroft, covered in wounds.
“I am innocent… cough… cough…”
Elwood Thorneycroft coughed lightly a few times, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.
Her body was covered in injuries, her face smeared with blood.
On her soft white hands were etched scars that were shocking to behold.
It was hard to imagine that this was Fabian Percival’s daughter, known for her ascetic appearance and martial prowess.
Though not by blood.
“Innocent?”
The Buddha Beads in Ivan Reed’s hands slowly ground to a halt.
“Luciano Michael, can you make her talk?”
“I’ll try my best!”
Luciano Michael, standing beside Elwood Thorneycroft, sneered coldly and harshly kicked out!
Whoosh!
Elwood Thorneycroft, caught off guard, was kicked five meters away, curling up in agony.
“Ah…”
Finally unable to bear it, her face twisted grotesquely as she let out a blood-curdling scream.
“Will you talk now?”
Luciano Michael walked over indifferently, squatted beside Elwood Thorneycroft’s head, grabbed her hair and shouted, “Don’t test my patience!”
“I really… truly don’t know…”
Elwood Thorneycroft replied in pain.
A minute later, she said weakly, “I was being held hostage at the time, you can check the police records… If I really…”
Whoosh!
Before Elwood Thorneycroft could finish her sentence, Luciano Michael slammed her head onto the ground!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then two more times!
Elwood Thorneycroft, whose face was originally covered in blood, now had several fresh wounds.
Her eyes were nearly closed, almost losing consciousness.
But Elwood Thorneycroft’s will was very strong!
The years of training abroad had given her a willpower far beyond ordinary people!
“This girl really knows how to keep her mouth shut!”
Luciano Michael walked back to Ivan Reed, spreading his hands in exasperation, “Stepfather, I’m out of options.”
If it were anyone else, they would have spilled everything after his kick.
But Elwood Thorneycroft was stubbornly silent.
Luciano Michael was sweating from the effort, and the opponent was covered in blood, yet she refused to utter a single word.
“Elwood Thorneycroft, I admire your loyalty,” Ivan Reed said as the Buddha Beads in his hands slowly ground to a halt.
He rose to his feet, walked over to Elwood Thorneycroft, and suddenly smiled, “You know I have many foster sons, but to this day, I do not have a foster daughter. If you are willing to help me, you will become my first foster daughter.”
“Ivan Reed’s foster daughter!”
After Ivan Reed finished speaking, even Luciano Michael felt somewhat surprised.
Everyone knew that Ivan Reed had innumerable foster sons, but not a single foster daughter.
Now, he was actually considering making an exception for Elwood Thorneycroft?
“Many… many thanks, Master Reed… but… but I…”
Elwood Thorneycroft was so weak that she could hardly muster the strength to speak.
“But you are unaware, aren’t you?”
Ivan Reed asked with a smile.
“Yes… Ah…”
Crack!
The moment Elwood Thorneycroft nodded, Ivan Reed stepped directly on her fingers!
Then.
He ground down hard.
All ten fingers are connected to the heart!
Elwood Thorneycroft let out a pitiful scream and completely passed out.
“Wake her up!”
Ivan Reed put on the Buddha Beads and took a cigar out of his pocket, standing over Elwood Thorneycroft’s head and slowly lighting it up.
“Whoosh!”
As he exhaled a puff of smoke, Elwood Thorneycroft had already been splashed awake by Luciano Michael with tea.
“For the last time, I’ll ask again!”
Ivan Reed squatted down, looking into Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes, “Do you really know nothing…”
As he spoke, he slowly moved the burning cigar closer to Elwood Thorneycroft’s face…
“No… please… no!”
Elwood Thorneycroft used all her strength to try to break free!
She was a woman!
A girl in the flower of her youth!
If the cigar burnt her face, she would be disfigured!
Her entire life would be ruined!
“You are quite impressive.”
When the cigar was less than a centimeter from Elwood Thorneycroft’s face, she could even feel the heat wave.
Desperation and pain showed in her eyes!
But it only made her more resolute!
“I’ve changed my mind.”
Ivan Reed slowly stood up and put the cigar in his mouth, “You would risk your life to keep a secret for Fabian Percival?”
He burst into laughter and ordered Luciano Michael, “Take her out for some air, see how Fabian Percival sends people to kill her! If she still refuses to talk at that point, just end her.”
“Understood!”
Luciano Michael licked his lips and gestured to the staff behind him, “Fellows, keep a close eye on this woman!”
“Have Marco Pendleton accompany you,” Ivan Reed said, pointing to an elderly man at the door in a long robe, “Fabian Percival has some influence in Gonzalez City, better safe than sorry.”
“Isn’t it overkill for Master Pendleton to make a move?”
Luciano Michael looked at the elderly man at the door, a troubled expression crossing his face.
Marco Pendleton was a low-profile master in the capital, unknown to most people around Ivan Reed.
Yet, if it came to a fight, Marco Pendleton was much more powerful than Terry Moore, who was renowned in the capital!
“Right, it’s not appropriate for Master Pendleton to intervene,” Ivan Reed nodded and said with a smile, “Those upstarts will dirty Master Pendleton’s hands. Luciano Michael, you take the bodyguards of my staff instead, to be on the safe side.”
“Alright! Please wait for good news, my adoptive father!”
Luciano Michael cupped his fists and left the imperial hall with four of Ivan Reed’s personal bodyguards.
These four were Marco Pendleton’s disciples, and in terms of skill, all were above Luciano Michael.
With them there, dealing with Fabian Percival’s people was almost a walk in the park.
“Soon, I will make you despair.”
Luciano Michael tapped gently on Elwood Thorneycroft’s face, then his expression darkened as he took big steps to the SUV.
Behind him, a few men pushed Elwood Thorneycroft into the back seat and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
“Drive! Let’s go for a spin!”
Luciano Michael put on sunglasses, sitting in the passenger seat, directing the driver to start the airing out.
As the car left Azure Percival’s place, someone quietly pulled out a cellphone and called the second son of the Martin Family.
The nights in Gonzalez City might be unusually quiet,
but they felt extremely dangerous.
The darkness was endless.
Dangers lurked on all sides.
Half an hour later.
Luciano Michael’s car wandered onto the highway leading to the airport.
The area was sparsely populated and far from the city center.
It created the illusion that Ivan Reed intended to take Elwood Thorneycroft to the airport and send her back to the capital.
Finally, several cars behind could no longer contain themselves and rushed forward like mad!
Screech!
Amidst the sound of brakes, two cars driving in the wrong direction suddenly appeared in front of Luciano Michael, forcing them to stop!
All headlights were switched on!

Tap! Tap! Tap!
The silence of the road was broken by the sound of leather boots hitting the pavement.
“I’ve been waiting for you guys for a long time.”
Luciano Michael got out of the car and faced the crowd.
He coldly scanned them, took off his leather jacket, and pulled out a long knife from under the seat!
