Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Filming_1
“Who are you!”
The man asked unwillingly.
He knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with malevolence.
As a Wolf Cavalry rider, he would rather die than surrender!
As a secret spy for the fourth battalion of the Wolf Cavalry, his infiltration into Gonzalez City lasted less than three days before being exposed, a humiliation for the Wolf Cavalry!
“Who am I? You dare to question me upon seeing my true identity!”
Julius Reed slowly revealed the Token on his hand, the Dragon King Ring.
“You…”
“If you wish to die now, I won’t stop you.”
Julius Reed said with his hands behind his back, his voice cold, “As for that pig butcher, just kill him.”
There were no civilians around anymore; even the vendors had fled in terror.
“Don’t kill me!”
The pig butcher shouted, “Murder is against the law, what are you trying to do!”
“Murder is against the law?”
Julius Reed turned around, walked up to the pig butcher, and tore off the human skin mask from his face!
It turned out to be a youth!
“Three days ago, you secretly killed an entire family of pig butchers and have been collaborating with the people from the Wolf Cavalry here. If murder is really against the law, then you should’ve been long dead already!”
After he finished speaking, the pig butcher knelt on the ground with a “thud.”
With the mask removed, it was clear the other party was well aware of his actions.
Acting dumb was utterly pointless.
“I investigated the most abnormal vendors in the Eldritch Vale market, and it turns out everyone thought you were acting differently than before.”
“Ordinarily, when people bought something from you, you’d throw in some pig hearts or livers, but now, you’re not giving an inch!”
“Such a drastic change, how could it escape the eyes of others?”
Aron Jackson controlled Gonzalez City, so learning about these matters was extremely simple.
Because the pig butcher’s business was quite good in the Eldritch Vale market before, but within just three days, he had lost more than half of his customers.
How abnormal must someone’s behavior be to come to this?
The only conclusion was that the pig butcher was no longer the same pig butcher as before.
“What is your relationship with Murray Brandon?”
Julius Reed asked coldly.
Inside the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, there was a branch skilled in disguising, capable of making human skin masks.
Using special materials like silicone and the like, as long as one wore it on their face, it was virtually impossible to spot any abnormalities.
You could say that just in terms of disguising, Murray Brandon’s controlled faction, along with the fourth battalion of the Wolf Cavalry, was a match made in heaven!
So for small-scale operations, the people from the Wolf Cavalry would typically work with a member of this faction.
One in the light, the other in the shadows, they handled matters with great ease.
When Julius Reed found the vendor’s behavior unusual, his first thought was of this faction!
“You! How did you know!”
The butcher knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
“Speak, or not?”
Julius Reed said with a cold voice, “My patience is running thin!”
“I… I was instructed by Murray Brandon, to collaborate with this brother and infiltrate Gonzalez City.”
In the end, the butcher opened up.
Because the man from the Wolf Cavalry hadn’t killed himself, but was instead kneeling on the ground with determination.
According to usual logic, nobody could ever detect a Wolf Cavalry’s trace.
And once a Wolf Cavalry’s trace was leaked, they would certainly choose to die by their own hand before falling into enemy hands!
But today, this Wolf Cavalry warrior had chosen to cling to life?
Then what was he still dying for?
“I’m asking you, who is Stacy Cook?”
Julius Reed asked once more.
Considering that both the faction and the Wolf Cavalry were in action, Stacy Cook was definitely not a small-time character.
“Stacy Cook is the adopted son of Ivan Reed from the capital, who became a Hidden Guard over a decade ago, then later returned to the capital to attend to the Davenport Family’s matters. This year, for reasons unknown, the Davenport Family sent him back to Gonzalez City, saying they wanted to help his Cook Family become the number one family in Gonzalez City.”
The butcher knelt on the ground, pleading, “As for my collaboration with him and the Wolf Cavalry, we were all following orders from the top. We have no insight into the internal matters.”
He had said all he knew.
In collaborating with Stacy Cook here, it was completely according to the wishes of those above; they just needed to follow orders.
Who would dare to question the reasons?
“And you?”
Julius Reed looked toward the Wolf Cavalry man.
“The order comes from the top, no right to question it.”
The man said solemnly.
“Who is ‘the top'”
Julius Reed asked again.
“Token, don’t know the person.”
The man replied.
In the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, as long as one carries the true token, they can mobilize troops.
But there were many who could mobilize four camps, and he couldn’t yet determine who this person was.
“There’s nothing I can do about this. You can only blame yourself for running into me.”
Julius Reed approached the pig butcher: “The family of three pork vendors are probably waiting for you down there!”
Crack!
He twisted his hands fiercely, and the pretend pork vendor collapsed onto the ground.
He died with open eyes of disbelief!
For the murderer of an entire family, Julius Reed had no reason to convince himself to let this person remain in the world.
Then, he turned and walked toward the Wolf Cavalry soldiers.
“Now, whom do you listen to?”
Julius Reed asked aloud.
“Wolf Cavalry only takes orders from the Young Master alone!”
There was a fervent light in the man’s eyes.
He wasn’t alive because he feared death.
But because he saw that ring!
The ring they protected!
The Wolf Cavalry was the palace guard, a military unit under the direct command of the Young Master, and their only loyalty was to the Young Master!
“I believe you!”
Julius Reed slowly helped the Wolf Cavalry soldier up from the ground: “Make a trip to Gonzalez City, and find out the relationship between Ivan Reed and Stacy Cook for me, don’t miss a thing! To others, you’re already dead.”
“Understood!”
A fervent light flashed in the man’s eyes.
Three years ago, there were rumors that the Young Master had fallen from a mountain and had died.
Now that they had finally seen their leader, how could they not be excited?
“Go, leave the rest to me here!”
Julius Reed patted the man’s shoulder.
Whoosh!
The man leaped gracefully, disappearing in the vegetable market in an instant.
“Boss, are you really letting him go just like that?”
Aron Jackson was somewhat worried; if the man went back and snitched, their situation would be very dangerous!
“Trust me, these people are fiercely loyal to me!”
Julius Reed patted Aron Jackson’s shoulder, leading his men towards the exit, with two employees immediately lifting a camera behind him.
“Ivan Reed, heard of him?”
He asked aloud.
“Davenport Family in Gonzalez City, one of the four major families! Comparable in strength to the Leocadia Family, where Sophia Leocadia belongs, they’re all among the top bosses.”
Aron Jackson naturally knew about the incident where Julius Reed had thrown money around at Sophia Leocadia’s birthday dinner, which is why he compared it to the Leocadia Family.
“This matter is becoming more and more complicated! The Davenport Family has somehow gotten involved with the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. After the New Year, I’ll have to personally visit Gonzalez City to find out the ins and outs of this matter!”
Julius Reed said with a slight frown: “How are things going in Five-river Province?”
“Cold Nelson led a raid against Skyfire, and before that mysterious woman could arrive, they were unable to spark further conflicts.”
Aron Jackson recounted the situation in Five-river Province to Julius Reed.
Just then, the two walked out of the vegetable market.
The commoners at the entrance were discussing animatedly, with many holding their phones and taking chaotic snapshots.
“Cooperate with us, please, we’re filming a movie.”
Julius Reed said with a smile.
“Damn! They’re really shooting a movie!”
“What a letdown! I thought we really stumbled upon something big.”
“Come on, let’s go shopping! These people, really, shooting a movie without saying a word.”
Everyone looked both helpless and annoyed.
