Chapter 705: Chapter 705: The Stairs are Too Steep_1
“Julius Reed!”
Marco Pendleton squinted his eyes, taking a step back.
A small knife had already appeared in his hand.
The recent notable figure of Gonzalez City, Aron Jackson’s good brother.
He naturally recognized him.
Especially after Elwood Thorneycroft’s disappearance, through the information from Orren Beaumont, they had thoroughly discerned Julius Reed’s identity.
...
“Mr. Sacha Reed, seeing the corpses all over the ground outside, what act are you playing here?”
Julius Reed gently pinched his nose, slightly frowning his brows.
It seemed as if he detested the pungent smell of blood.
“Mr. Reed, what act are you playing?”
Ivan Reed simply wiped the blood off his face, somewhat unable to grasp the purpose of Julius Reed’s visit.
“You and I both carry the Reed name; maybe hundreds of years ago, I was your ancestor.”
Julius Reed spread his hands, jokingly saying, “I’m just kidding.”
“Heh.”
Ivan Reed scoffed coldly.
A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs.
Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to insult him.
However, what Julius Reed was thinking was.
If he himself were to leave behind such a useless descendant, he’d probably die of anger on the spot.
“Let’s talk,” Ivan Reed regained his previous composure, indifferently saying, “What brings you here in the dead of the night?”
Not earlier, not later.
Just had to arrive when he was in such a sorry state.
Could this be a coincidence?
He didn’t believe it!
“Ivan Reed, do you want the thing in Fabian Percival’s hands?”

As soon as Julius Reed finished his sentence, Ivan Reed’s body tensed up once more!
Thing?
What thing!
Could it be the map the man in black mentioned?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ivan Reed still maintained his composure.
The more critical the moment, the more he needed to keep his cool.
“You really don’t know?”
Julius Reed frowned slightly, shaking his head, “It seems I have come to the wrong person.”
“If you have something to say, just say it, why all the mystery!”
Ivan Reed said unhappily, “I, Ivan Reed, like to deal with things straightforwardly!”
“In that case, I take my leave.”
Julius Reed nodded, turned around, and left the room.
“Hiss…”
Watching his retreating figure, Ivan Reed’s hands clenched tightly onto his pants.
“Mr. Reed, are you sure about letting him go?”
Although Marco Pendleton’s forehead was covered in sweat from the pain, he was anxiously following along at the side.
If Julius Reed came at this time, it implied he must know something.
Could it be.
That they were about to miss this opportunity?
Maybe the other party really knew something?
“If he wanted to cooperate with me, he certainly wouldn’t leave so easily,”
Ivan Reed’s throat moved as he stood up and walked to the window.
Half a minute later.
The figure of Julius Reed appeared at the first-floor entrance.
He slowly walked towards the parked car.
Throughout, he never looked back.
This made Ivan Reed’s heart grow even more frantic!
He was gambling!
Gambling that Julius Reed would concede first!
But it seemed.
Julius Reed didn’t care about these things at all.
“Mr. Reed, if you don’t retain him now, I’m afraid you really won’t have another chance!”
Marco Pendleton stood by, urgently persuading.
He understood Ivan Reed’s personality.
Never willing to bow down easily!
But now—
“Times have changed!”
Marco Pendleton sighed.
“Alright!”
Ivan Reed, as if he had made a great decision, stood by the window broken by Devlin, and yelled out loud, “Brother Reed, may I have a word with you!”
“Sorry, I’m in a hurry!”
The reply from Julius Reed came from downstairs.
Right afterward.
The sound of a car starting up ensued.
When the headlights turned on, Ivan Reed felt his scalp tingle for the first time!
Although.
He didn’t have a single hair on his head!
But that feeling, as if countless ants were crawling over the top of his head.
Tingly!
His whole body tensed up!
“Brother Reed, I was rash just now! Please forgive me!”
Ivan Reed took a deep breath and called out again.
This was his rare moment of bowing his head!
The item in Fabian Percival’s possession was too important!
It concerned his entire fortune and life!
In other matters, Ivan Reed would dare to gamble.
But not this one – he couldn’t afford to gamble!
“Come down and talk!”
Julius Reed rolled down the car window, calling out impatiently, “I’m tired, the stairs at Azure Percival are too steep, I can’t take it.”
“Hiss!”
Ivan Reed took a deep breath, his hands already trembling!
A junior!
A youngster!
Daring to ask him to come downstairs to talk!
A great humiliation!
“Fine!”
Half a minute later.
Ivan Reed shouted, turned to grab his coat from the hanger, and quickly headed downstairs.
As he passed by the corpses of the bodyguards that had died, he paused in his step.
“Take care of their families.”
“Understood.”
Marco Pendleton nodded from behind.
“Sacha, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you must deal with the matter at hand properly. Once you get the item, crushing that mere Julius Reed of Gonzalez City will be as easy as stepping on an ant!”
“I know.”
Ivan Reed took two deep breaths, steadying his emotions, and hurried downstairs.
A two-minute journey, he had completed in just one minute, arriving in front of Julius Reed’s car.
“Speak…”
Just as he tried to open the car door, he found that Julius Reed had locked it.
What does this mean?
Expecting him to stand outside to talk?
This was the twelfth lunar month!
Although it was a coastal city!
The wind was strong!
The temperature, very low!
Marco Pendleton’s face also looked grim.
“Julius Reed, Sacha Reed has personally come down – don’t go too far!”
Even in the capital, no one dared to treat Ivan Reed this way!
This was a man whose fame was on par with Beckett Carmichael!
One of the members of the four great families!
If he sneezed, half the entertainment venues in the capital—
would catch a cold!
But now—
Standing in front of a junior’s car, he couldn’t even open the door!
“If Sacha finds it tiring to stand,” Julius Reed said gently, rolling down the window with a smile, “you can go upstairs. The presidential suite in Azure Percival has sofas, air conditioning, and also… corpses.”
“You!”
Marco Pendleton was on the verge of taking action!
Humiliation!
Pure humiliation!
“It’s fine…”
Ivan Reed, grinding his teeth, tried to stay calm.
After all, he was a shrewd man who had lived for decades.
In just three breaths, he had already changed to a different expression.
“Julius, I was unreasonable just now. But… given the gravity of the situation, being cautious is ultimately correct, isn’t it?”
He tried to ease the tension between them.
But Julius Reed did not seem to appreciate it.
“Sacha’s caution is correct, so shouldn’t I also be cautious?”
“Speak… after all, it’s late, and you need to rest,” Ivan Reed now endured no matter what the other said!
A gentleman’s revenge!
Is not too late if taken after ten years!
As long as he got what he wanted, he could act freely!
Gonzalez City?
He could crush it with a flick of his finger!
“Since Sacha is so sincere, then I’ll just cut to the chase,”
Julius Reed said as he slowly raised the car window: “What you want is with Fabian Percival. At tomorrow’s banquet, I’ll kill someone, and you take the item.”
“The specifics?”
Ivan Reed’s pupils shrank the moment he heard the word ‘item.’
He had sent Stacy Cook to Gonzalez City to search for this very item!
Could it be the map?
Ivan Reed’s heart raced!
“The specifics, I’ve already stuffed it into the sofa in your room before I left.”
Boom!
Julius Reed slammed on the accelerator, speeding off with a roar!
“Go to hell!”
Bang!
Ivan Reed punched the poplar tree at the gate, his whole body shaking with rage.
“Julius Reed, I won’t stop until I kill you!”
