Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1374: The Man in Black

Devlin?

This was Julius Reed’s first thought.

The man in black, in both stature and attire, was identical to Devlin.

But something seemed off.

The man was restless, even anxious.

It was apparent that he seemed somewhat afraid.

Even to the extent of fear.

Whereas Devlin was calm and strategic in his actions, maintaining his rationality even in dire situations.

"Over there..."

"Shush!" Julius Reed cut off Lillian Tompson with a silent gesture.

Clearly, Lillian Tompson had also noticed something was amiss.

It was too similar!

Or rather, it was the signature look of Devlin.

"Let’s wait and see how things unfold." After giving that instruction, Julius Reed crept towards the man in black.

The space wasn’t large.

Hundreds of people were encircled on a desolate land, all looking anxious and unsettled.

According to a passerby just now, the Unbeatable Divine Hall was searching for something.

But coincidentally, a man resembling Devlin in both figure and attire, or rather, Devlin himself, unexpectedly appeared here.

Since parting at The North Sea, Julius Reed had not heard any news about Devlin and Granny Xihua.

But he was certain in his heart that Devlin would never stay idle.

Chess players often challenge again after reviewing a game.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me reiterate!" After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Hundson, wielding a blood-stained steel knife, stood in front of a line of people: "We’re only searching for what we need. Once the search is over, everyone will definitely be released! The Unbeatable Divine Hall honorably guarantees it!"

"Brave man, may I ask, who is the person you’re looking for, and what thing are you searching for?"

Someone asked tremblingly: "We can help you look, so everyone can leave sooner. What do you think?"

"Agreed!"

Mr. Hundson promptly agreed, and at the same time, swung his steel knife!

The words were quick, but the knife was quicker!

Thud!

The one who had just asked was instantly turned into a headless corpse.

Those around him were so frightened that they didn’t dare to wipe the blood off their faces.

"Pah! You talk too much! Do I need you to teach me how to do my job?" Mr. Hundson flipped the steel knife and smashed the man’s head with the back of the blade until it was unrecognizable, finally cooling his anger.

"Starting now, proceed in order, one by one, walk to the opposite side! Anyone who dares to run, no mercy!" Mr. Hundson wiped his knife on his body impatiently and waved his hand: "Move!"

One person after another in the crowd wobbled across.

As soon as he reached the center, several robust men charged up and stripped the man of his clothes.

After confirming that he didn’t have what they were looking for, they let him go.

"Next!"

Mr. Hundson shouted impatiently.

One after another, many walked over, and seeing that those in front of them didn’t die, they also dispelled some of their fears.

After all, they were innocent, not the ones being sought after; what was there to fear?

Some women, though taken advantage of, seemed to be let go easily as the people from the Unbeatable Divine Hall had urgent matters and merely frisked them before letting them pass.

People, fewer and fewer remained.

When it was the turn of the man in black, Julius Reed narrowed his eyes.

"Next! Hurry up!"

On a barren land from Rat Town to Swimming City, overgrown with weeds.

The robust man shouted, but the man in black did not move.

"The man in black? Take him!"

Mr. Hundson had been chatting idly with his companions, but was drawn by the shout and suddenly saw the trembling man in black standing still.

"Quick! Don’t let him escape!" He yelled loudly, and immediately countless robust men charged over.

The man in black remained rooted to the spot, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Something’s not right!

Julius Reed realized something was amiss at once.

If it truly was Devlin, why would he simply await his doom?

If not, why doesn’t he run?

"Strip off his clothes!" The leader shouted, and the others quickly surrounded the man in black, tearing off his clothes.

"Run!"

In the instant his clothes were stripped off, Julius Reed’s pupils shrank! freewebnσvel.cøm

Without a second to spare, he grabbed Lillian Tompson and leaped backwards fiercely!

Boom!

There was a loud explosion!

Julius Reed felt as if his back had been struck by a truck!

There is some pain.

But his robust body can totally withstand it.

Others, however, aren’t so lucky.

Dozens of brawny men from the Unbeatable Divine Hall died instantly!

And the unaware masses suffered heavy casualties as well.

Limbs strewn everywhere, the air filled with the mixed scent of gunpowder and blood.

"My hand..."

"It hurts! Save me..."

"I’m going to die..."

For a moment, cries of agony were everywhere.

The men in black were strapped with loads of bombs.

Their bodies were bound, mouth gagged with handkerchiefs.

It was clear they were hostages.

Was that really Devlin?

Only someone like Devlin could do such a thing!

"Damn it! Keep an eye on him!"

Mr. Hundson crawled up from the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Waving his long saber, he commanded loudly, "Quick, surround him!"

Suddenly, a figure darted out from the crowd.

This figure then entered the underbrush and swiftly disappeared.

"Catch that person!" Mr. Hundson hadn’t finished speaking when Julius Reed had already leaped up, following that man in black!

Lillian Tompson, though reminiscing the feeling of her lord pressing on her, realized the urgency of the situation and quickly collected her thoughts, following behind Julius Reed.

"Escapers, kill without..."

Puchi!

One of the brawny men responsible for sealing off the area hadn’t finished his sentence when his neck was sliced by Lillian Tompson’s steel blade!

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

In the underbrush!

The figure was fast, but Julius Reed was faster!

In less than five seconds, he had already intercepted the man in black.

"Solaris Grove?" The man was surprised to see Julius Reed’s face.

Back at The North Sea, Devlin had dealings with Solaris Grove and was very familiar with the various officials there.

"Mr. Devlin?" Julius Reed, with hands clasped behind his back, looked toward the man in black.

Recognizing Solaris Grove meant it was someone familiar.

"Sorry, I’ve already handed the Divine Dragon Tripod to someone else. If The North Sea insists on retrieving it, please find Pendleton." The voice of the man in black was indeed Devlin’s!

But these words surprised Julius Reed.

The Divine Dragon Tripod?

The North Sea claiming it back?

Pendleton?

Devlin’s appearance in Swimming City, was he here to deliver the Divine Dragon Tripod?

"Hand it over!"

Julius Reed spoke coldly.

Such words were tantamount to saying nothing.

They didn’t reveal anything, yet they put pressure on the other party.

"General Grove, I admit you’re strong. But since I was able to take the Divine Dragon Tripod out of The North Sea, that shows I have the ability to get away." The man in black sneered coldly, "Who would have thought, you’d chase me all the way from The North Sea to Swimming City! Even your son-in-law has been injured by my men, do you think you can stop me by yourself?"

The North Sea’s son-in-law?

Gabriel Abernathy!

Julius Reed’s heart tightened!

He handed over the fake Divine Dragon Tripod to Nelson and then, through Solaris Grove, brought it back to The North Sea.

The goal was to incite hostility from all sides, divert the trouble eastward, and muddy the waters.

Now it seems, Devlin must have played a big game, going as far as to injure Gabriel Abernathy and steal the fake Divine Dragon Tripod from The North Sea!

"Talking is useless!"

Whoosh!

Julius Reed leaped forward, directly facing Devlin, and ferociously picked him up!

With the other hand, he ripped off the mask on his face!

A painted face!

Still that same painted face!

Devlin!

But suddenly!

Julius Reed felt a chill in his back!
