Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 432
Chapter 432: Chapter 432 Free board and lodging _1
“I…”
Ken Leocadia looked at the prop knife in his hand, feeling a myriad of emotions crashing through him.
He had finally been driven to desperation, after downing two liquors, planning to take someone with him before dying.
After all, his life was worse than a dog’s.
But what now?
Could this knife even stab someone?
“Do you know that just for this alone, I could have you sit in prison for ten years?”
Julius Reed said calmly, but it sent chills down Ken Leocadia’s spine, scaring him out of his wits.
“Sometimes living can be more painful than dying!” He patted Ken Leocadia on the shoulder and said with a smile, “But it’s not too bad. You get food and shelter, at least you don’t have to worry about sleeping on the streets. And you can find all sorts of people in prison, who knows, you might make some good friends.”
This thought terrified Ken Leocadia even more.
His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
The effects of the alcohol nearly wore off, and his fear began to climb steadily.
He had regretted his actions the moment he made them, but there was no turning back an arrow once it was shot, so he had to go through with it!
Now, having narrowly escaped from danger, he suddenly cherished his life.
It’s normal for people to fear death.
Even a mere insect clings to life, so why wouldn’t a person?
“Got a knife?” Julius Reed looked at the burly man in front of him.
The burly man looked at Itai Huntington,
“Give it to him.”
Itai Huntington said calmly.
Clang!
A sharp dagger was thrown to the ground by the burly man, making a crisp sound.
“Be careful with it, this knife is extremely sharp, it can cut through iron as though it were mud!” the burly man cautioned.
“That’s even better, it’ll save this young friend from suffering too much.”
Julius Reed said with a smile.
“What… What do you mean?” Ken Leocadia chilled all over when he heard this.
“Weren’t you planning on killing me and then committing suicide?”
Julius Reed squatted down, looking at Ken Leocadia with a smile: “I’m giving you the chance to commit suicide right now. If you don’t cherish it, then prepare yourself for ten years in prison. It’s up to you to choose, I won’t interfere.”
He took out his phone: “You have half a minute to think, and then I will make a call to the police.”
Looking at the sharp blade on the ground, Ken Leocadia picked it up with trembling hands.
The closer it got to his body, the more violently his hands shook.
“Be very careful, this knife is extremely sharp. If you fail to kill yourself and only wound yourself, that would be a huge loss!”
Julius Reed had the emergency number on his phone screen, his finger over the call button, showing it to Ken Leocadia.
At that moment, Ken Leocadia was filled with regret. Even if he had gone bankrupt and lost everything, at least he was still free.
He could do anything to scrape by, living a carefree life.
But now?
The thought of spending ten years in prison with no freedom, no women, no alcohol, no cigarettes,
Not even asking for a sports car, not even a bicycle,
No money at home to send him, unable to buy anything in prison.
This kind of life, he might as well be dead.
But he was afraid of pain, and he feared death!
“Don’t push me!”
Ken Leocadia yelled with eyes wide open.
“No rush, take your time. I’ll count to ten, and afterward, congratulate yourself for getting a pair of stainless steel handcuffs and a ten-year stay with meals provided. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a bullet through the skull as a bonus.”
Julius Reed looked at Ken Leocadia, now drenched in sweat with his clothes soaked, and began to count, “Ten, nine…..”
“Huff!”
Ken Leocadia took a deep breath, holding the dagger with a trembling grip, and stabbed fiercely towards his heart!
Clang!
But just as the blade was about to touch his body, he threw the dagger away, and started sobbing uncontrollably on the ground.
“I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die…”
“What a coward.”
Itai Huntington shook his head, eyes full of disdain.
“And he came to assassinate with such poor skills?”
“Shall I make the call?”
Julius Reed asked with a smile.
To Ken Leocadia, however, that smile seemed like the Devil’s.
“Or, I could make him disappear for you,” Itai Huntington said to Julius Reed, gravely, “Disappear without a trace.”
Coming from the Widow of Doom, such words carried extreme credibility!
It also terrified Ken Leocadia, who was sitting on the ground.
He had just remembered who this woman was, the infamous Itai Huntington!
When someone like her said such things, it wasn’t in jest.
The young masters of yesteryear with powerful backgrounds all died without corpses to be found, let alone a bankrupt youth with nothing to his name?
“Please, call the police and have me arrested! I’m willing to do time, willing to eat prison food!”
Ken Leocadia knelt in front of Julius Reed, clinging desperately to his legs.
“What’s the use of begging me? You were just trying to kill me, weren’t you!”
Julius Reed smiled indifferently, maintaining the same expression from the start, never showing anger or losing his temper.
Even when faced with assassination, he remained unflustered.
“I’m finished!”
Despair filled Ken Leocadia as he sat on the ground, his gaze vacant, giving up all resistance.
Looking at the dagger on the ground, he still couldn’t reconcile himself to suicide!
As long as there was a sliver of hope, he wouldn’t give up!
“I could, however, give you an opportunity,”
Julius Reed suddenly spoke.
“What? What opportunity!”
Ken Leocadia, kneeling on the ground, shouted as if grabbing for a lifeline, “What! Just say it! I’ll do whatever it takes!”
“He tried to kill you, and you still keep him around?”
Itai Huntington raised her eyebrows, her face showing incomprehension.
According to her, if someone dared to threaten her life, you eradicate them root and branch!
Not just Ken Leocadia, but even his father, Marcella Leocadia, should be fed to the fish!
Yet now, Julius Reed was sparing this man’s life?
“Such people pose no threat to me,”
Julius Reed said, looking at Ken Leocadia: “I know who sent you. Bran Cook’s uncle, Graham Cook! Go back to Bran’s side now, tell him you failed to assassinate me and that I beat you up badly.”
“No way!”
Ken Leocadia’s head shook like a rattle: “Bran Cook is so clever, he’ll definitely know I’m going back as an undercover agent, and then I’m as good as dead!”
Out of the dragon’s den and into the tiger’s lair.
Death was certain either way!
No way out!
“Trust me, Bran Cook won’t suspect you,”
Julius Reed’s smile suddenly vanished: “You just consider whether you want to live or not. You only get one chance, and I don’t like repeating myself.”
His change in demeanor brought a chill across Ken Leocadia’s back again, and his hairs stood on end.
“I want to live!”
He said in a low voice, trembling like a sieve.
“Remember my words, keep a close watch on Bran Cook’s every move. Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death!”
Bang!
With that, Julius Reed kicked out, sending Ken Leocadia flying ten meters away.
During that time, the sound of ribs being broken could be heard.
Ken Leocadia hit the ground, motionless, and passed out.
“You’re very strong.”
The muscular man frowned as he looked at Julius Reed.
He knew the trade and understood how terrifying that burst of power was.
“Too many prying eyes on the street, why don’t we go to the shooting range?”
Itai Huntington’s eyes briefly showed surprise before it swiftly disappeared, and she reverted to her frivolous demeanor: “If we have too much fun, who knows, I might just give myself to you?”
