“Now it’s your turn!”

After all that, Julius Reed straightened his clothes and looked at another waiter.

Having seen his companion meet such a tragic fate, the waiter was already scared out of his wits.

“It was Master Pendleton! Master Pendleton told us to do it! And it wasn’t my own will, he, he gave me a hundred thousand yuan, and promised to take care of my food and clothing in the future!”

He pointed at his companion, his voice trembling with sobs, “I really knew nothing, please, let me go! ”

Miguel Abbott was very famous in Five-river Province.

Outsiders only knew him as a wealthy man of Five-river Province, but they didn’t know how ruthless he could be!

As the saying goes, if you’re not ruthless, you won’t stand firm!

The waiter at the Waterfront Pearl, one of Miguel Abbott’s earliest businesses, knew all too well how terrifying their boss could be!

Making them disappear from this world was as easy for Miguel Abbott as smoking a cigarette.

“Cook, betraying me and Master Pendleton won’t end well for you!”

The waiter who had been injured by Julius Reed howled in pain and kept threatening his colleague.

“Too noisy!”

Julius Reed glanced at Miguel Abbott.

“Allen, shut him up!”

Miguel Abbott naturally understood what he meant.

He signalled with his eyes, and the bald muscle man beside him immediately stepped forward, his foot crushing down on the waiter’s jaw!

Crack!

As soon as the sound of breaking bones was heard, the waiter spat out fresh blood and could barely utter a word.

“Alright, now it’s quiet, so talk!”

Julius Reed dragged over a chair, sat down, and habitually propped up one leg over the other.

“It was Cesar Pendleton, Master Pendleton! He told me to monitor your every move, but as for the reason, I really have no idea!” The waiter kept sobbing, incessantly begging for mercy.

“Cesar Pendleton?”

Upon hearing this name, Miguel Abbott furrowed his brow and said, “Brother Reed, did you offend him too?”

Cesar Pendleton was a tough character in Five-river Province.

He was unreasonable in his dealings, and even though he had since become wealthy, he still carried an air of the criminal underworld.

They say it’s better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Cesar Pendleton could be considered the worst of villains, and even Miguel Abbott kept a respectful distance from this gang leader.

Now that Cesar Pendleton was actually bribing his own staff, this gave him a bit of a headache.

“Last time in Gonzalez City, he harassed my wife and I hung him up and beat him.”

Julius Reed lifted his eyelids slightly and chuckled lightly, “Seems like this guy doesn’t know when to quit!”

“So, what do you suggest…”

Miguel Abbott was somewhat regretful, but once he had boarded this ship, he had to follow the path to the bitter end.

If he had known earlier that Brother Reed had offended so many people, he really would’ve considered it carefully.

This was a huge gamble!

“Tell Cesar Pendleton that I’ll be at Northern-bay Park in half an hour.” Julius Reed pondered for a moment and instructed the waiter.

“This…

The waiter’s eyes darted around, and he quickly said, “Please rest assured, I won’t reveal a word! Even if I get caught, I won’t admit anything!”

He thought the other party was testing him, so he eagerly showed his loyalty.

The fate of his companion was vivid in his mind, and he didn’t want to make the same mistake.

Money can be easily earned, but not if there’s no life to spend it! “If you don’t do as I say, I’ll immediately break both your legs!” Julius Reed pointed at the waiter’s legs, his tone very forceful.

“Really?”

The waiter hesitated but still asked.

“Go for it!”

Miguel Abbott shouted.

“No… I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”

The waiter immediately panicked, putting his hands together in prayer, “I’ll obey, I’ll cooperate!”

Allen, standing nearby, took a cell phone out of a plastic bag and handed it to the waiter.

“I’ll make the call right now.”

After taking the mobile phone, the waiter dialed a number, his hands, too, could not help but tremble.

“Hello!”

On the other end of the line, a husky voice came through.

“Master Pendleton, that young guy is heading to Northern-bay Park. Based on the driving time, it’ll take half an hour.”

The waiter glanced at Julius Reed before speaking with a quivering voice.

“Good! What’s with your voice?”

A question came from the other end of the phone.

“I took the chance while the supervisor wasn’t paying attention and ran up the stairs to the room.”

The waiter answered swiftly.

And indeed, his rapid breathing was very similar to that after an intense workout.

“What about Viking Ridge!”

Cesar Pendleton asked again.

“To give me a chance, Viking Ridge is discussing something with the supervisor.”

Sweat cascaded from the waiter’s forehead, clearly indicating intense nervousness.

If questions kept coming, he might indeed give himself away.

Just as Cesar Pendleton was about to ask another question, Julius Reed lightly tappea on tne taD1e, “wnat are you aomg tnere! Are you slacK1ngC”

This action startled everyone, including the waiter on the call, who subconsciously covered the mobile phone.

“Beep beep…”

The call was abruptly disconnected on the other end.

“That settles it!”

Julius Reed said with a smile on his face, “Could I borrow some manpower?”

He turned towards Miguel Abbott and gently twisted his neck.

“How many people do you need?”

Five minutes later.

A Mercedes -Benz slowly departed from the underground parking lot of the Pearl on the Water and headed straight to Northern-bay Park.

“Boss, the target has left. I saw him get into the car with my own eyes. His destination is Northern-bay Park.”

A man in black stood behind a tree, speaking into the walkie-talkie.

“Copy that!”

Half a minute later, a convoy drove by on the road, heading in the same direction as Northern-bay Park.

Northern-bay Park was at the southernmost tip of Five-river Province, actually already outside of the city limits.

But people nowadays liked it this way.

The more remote from the city center, the more popular the place.

In the era of industrial culture, everyone had surplus funds, and their concerns went beyond just food and warmth but also a healthy lifestyle.

Everyone says that the city center has poor air quality, and developers just happened to cater to this sentiment by building a park near Northern-bay and a vast number of residences.

In just half a year, ten residential buildings sold out, and the prices even far exceeded those in the city center.

Even though there were no subways or buses there, people still flocked.

“Mr. Reed, can you tell me why you chose this place?”

In the Mercedes Benz, Miguel Abbott turned to look at Julius Reed in the back seat.

He hadn’t expected the other party to choose such a location.

But since it was morning, the place was not too crowded yet, only a few elderly people were exercising here.

“Because I suddenly thought of this. Boss Abbott, you work late nights all year round, which has weakened you. If I’m not mistaken, you have cirrhosis of the liver, and it’s quite severe.”

Julius Reed looked ahead, his comment casual.

Yet, to Miguel Abbott’s ears, those words made him tense.

Liver cirrhosis had troubled him for many years.

But with such a large business empire, how could he be at ease if he was not in control?

As his health continued to deteriorate, even with money, he couldn’t find a cure.

“Mr. Reed is truly knowledgeable! Indeed, I’ve been afflicted with this disease for a long time, but it’s incurable, and all my wealth can’t treat it!” Miguel Abbott shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

“It’s a small matter. I’ll give you some pills later, and within seven days, you’ll be cured!”

Julius Reed looked out the window, uttering this phrase as if it were a

commonplace matter..
