Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2581: A Simple Life

"Master."Upon seeing Lillian Tompson, White Phoenix ran over with joy.

However, Lillian Tompson’s attention was not on this disciple at all.

When she left Demarco Mount, she had taken on many disciples, and White Phoenix was just one of them.

Or perhaps, she was one of the more decent ones.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t even be able to get Lillian Tompson’s contact information.

At least White Phoenix could stay in touch with her.

"Master..." White Phoenix’s voice grew softer; she glanced at the blind man and then at her master, seemingly understanding something.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"What... happened to you?" Lillian Tompson walked over, slowly squatted down, tears in her eyes as she carefully undid Julius Reed’s clothes.

It had been a long time.

Julius Reed’s eyes seemed to be blind.

Moreover, his chest was covered with countless wounds.

"Just small injuries. But... why did you come?" Julius Reed knew Lillian Tompson recognized him.

No matter how disguised he was, he would be seen through by a woman who had served him for hundreds of years.

Even if it was just his silhouette, Lillian Tompson could recognize him.

"I... I just happened to see you. Let’s not talk now, let me help you upstairs." Lillian Tompson wiped her tears, gently lifting Julius Reed.

She wasn’t pretending; her heartache was genuine.

This couldn’t be faked.

White Phoenix was stunned.

Her master’s personality?

She completely disdained even a glance at men, and now she was crying?

Personally taking care of a man?

Recalling her previous actions in the wood shed, she blushed and quickly approached, "Master, let me do it?"

"No need." Lillian Tompson shook her head, "You’re unworthy."

White Phoenix was bewildered again.

She looked at her master’s eyes and at the blind man in front of her.

Could it be...

These two had a relationship?

Were they lovers?

But she had never heard her master having someone she liked?

White Phoenix stood there, bewildered.

"You despicable woman, you chopped off my hand, aren’t you afraid..."

Brayden Martinez held his bleeding hand, cursing loudly.

But before he could finish, Lillian Tompson turned her back to him and suddenly struck.

A thin line flew out directly.

The line, like a fishing net, wrapped around Brayden Martinez’s neck.

Lillian Tompson lightly tugged her fingers.

The thin line retracted.

"Later, bring me all the information about this person. Tonight, I’ll eliminate his entire clan." After saying this, Lillian Tompson carried Julius Reed and slowly went upstairs.

Thud!

As she left, Brayden Martinez’s head fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out.

The martial artists inside the hotel were shocked.

"Is this... really your master?"

"Truly formidable..."

White Phoenix listened to her subordinate’s words, feeling a bit flustered herself.

Has Master really become so violent now?

And she went upstairs cradling a man!

In White Phoenix’s impression, Lillian Tompson rarely dealt with men.

Yet now, she’s performing such an intimate gesture.

It’s too inconceivable.

Iwan Martinez continued snoring on the floor, completely oblivious to Hiddy’s arrival.

Muttering constantly about ’wine...’.

"What’s wrong with your eyes?"

As soon as they were upstairs, Lillian Tompson placed Julius Reed on the bed, asking with deep concern, "Is the issue serious?"

"Nothing’s wrong." Julius Reed grabbed Lillian Tompson’s hand and smiled, "I just want to be an ordinary person, to live a simple life."

Silvio Reed was dead.

The stone weighing on his chest had been lifted.

Julius Reed felt a complex emotion toward Silvio Reed.

A master, an adversary.

And an enemy!

At the moment of killing Silvio Reed, Julius Reed didn’t feel relieved; his heart was mostly filled with loss.

It was in that instant that he saw through everything.

Fame,

Power and riches,

are all transient.

The meaning of life lies not in struggle, but in enjoying every day.

Now, the Lord of the Nether has Judas’s body; as long as he can deal with the Blood Soul Emperor and then resolve Marcellus Lopez, Julius Reed plans to live peacefully on Demarco Mount.

Dragon Dance liked power, so the throne at Demarco Mount could be shared with Dragon Dance.

The other half would naturally go to Hiddy.

The Lord of the Nether could continue being the king of Nine Provinces’ spirits.

Julius Reed wanted a peaceful life.

Simple life?

Hearing these words, Lillian Tompson felt something amiss.

"Holy Lord, what’s happened to you? No matter what happens, I’ll stay by your side. Whether we live or die, I won’t leave you again."

As she spoke, she gently rested her head on Julius Reed’s chest.

Listening to the strong, powerful heartbeat, her tears involuntarily began to fall.

How many years has it been.

She wanted this, but always didn’t dare.

Back then, they were still master and servant.

Back then, several sisters were fighting for attention.

But now, there were only the two of them in this room.

Finally, Lillian Tompson could express her emotions without reservation.

"It’s not like that; you might be misunderstanding me." Julius Reed slowly sat up.

If it were Nelson and Hiddy, he could have been accustomed.

But all along, he maintained a distance from Lillian Tompson.

Besides, there’s still a difference between Lillian Tompson and Nelson and Hiddy.

Nelson and Hiddy were Julius Reed’s women, but Lillian Tompson’s current identity was still a maid.

Seeming to notice Julius Reed’s slight resistance, Lillian Tompson hastily moved her head away, wiping her tears, "I’m sorry, I... I got a bit emotional."

"It’s alright." Julius Reed replied with a smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

"How... did you get hurt?" Lillian Tompson asked, full of concern, as she lightly reached out to touch Julius Reed’s wounds.

These wounds were almost scabbed.

The wounds were deep, and had they been on an ordinary martial artist, they’d likely be fatal.

Luckily, Julius Reed was formidable.

"Who did this?" she asked, somewhat anxious.

But, it was clear Julius Reed was not in danger of dying.

Though he was very weak!

"Silvio Reed." Julius Reed chuckled bitterly, "It’s Mr. River, the old man who cleans the toilets for our Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be behind all this."

"The old man who cleans toilets?" Lillian Tompson paused.

She had always stayed on Demarco Mount, but never had contact with its core secrets.

She wasn’t even aware of Julius Reed’s whereabouts.

The entire Demarco Mount was managed only by Hiddy.

The others could only follow Hiddy’s orders.

No one dared ask about anything regarding Julius Reed.

After all, Hiddy was the head wife.

If they asked, what would that be?

"Yes. He’s the renowned Silvio Reed! But I killed him at Drunken Man Pavilion yesterday." Julius Reed pointed to the wounds on his body, "These are the consequences. Luckily, I survived."

"What happened afterward?" Lillian Tompson held Julius Reed’s hand, deeply concerned.

"Afterward, I fainted, and a person called Blood Soul Emperor tried to ambush me, but got repelled by my sword." Julius Reed pondered; for Blood Soul Emperor to be taken by Marcellus Lopez, the sword surely injured him quite severely.
