Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Don’t Be Too Arrogant_1

“Boss Jackson, for someone of your standing in the underworld, don’t your workers have any discipline?”

Upon hearing Julius Reed’s words, Beckett Carmichael’s expression instantly darkened.

Who was he?

The big boss who called the shots, even nobles from the capital city had to address him as Mr. Carmichael when they saw him.

And now, a lowlife street thug from Gonzalez City, merely a small-time hooligan, dared to act recklessly in front of him?

It was truly an overestimation of one’s own abilities!

“He’s not exactly my employee, strictly speaking, I’m more his employee.”

Aron Jackson spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.

“Ha! Since you’re courting death, then I’ll grant your wish!”

Beckett Carmichael sneered with disdain and said to the bodyguard, “Eli Yarrow, start by breaking their legs!”

“Understood!”

The bodyguard called Eli Yarrow cracked his neck and looked at Julius Reed indifferently, “Which leg do you want me to break first?”

He was the disciple of the martial arts master Sherwin Yarrow, extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat, calling him a one-man army wasn’t an overstatement.

On regular days, Beckett Carmichael only needed to bring Eli Yarrow along to bravely enter any scene.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Eli Yarrow alone was equivalent to dozens of bodyguards.

“So much nonsense!”

No sooner had Julius Reed finished speaking than he suddenly lashed out with a kick!

“You petty trickster, only daring to launch a sneak attack!”

Eli Yarrow sneered in astonishment and swiftly kicked out with his leg!

In his view, such an incapable opponent would surely break a leg with a single kick from him!

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, their legs collided!

“Hiss!”

Eli Yarrow’s face drastically changed, and he couldn’t help but inhale sharply from the pain!

A numbing sensation radiated from his calf as if he had kicked an iron plate, the pain making his scalp tingle!

And yet, the young man before him was still smiling, showing no signs of distress at all.

Completely different from the scene Eli Yarrow had imagined, where the opponent’s leg would break instantly, and they would be kneeling on the ground in agony.

Now the one who was injured was him!

As an expert, Eli Yarrow knew that the opponent was no weakling, but rather a formidable master with a significant background!

But with his bold words already spoken, if he couldn’t defeat the young man before him, how would Beckett Carmichael view him?

Losing Beckett Carmichael’s trust meant losing everything he had!

Losing the glory and riches!

Losing the life of luxury!

Going back to training in martial arts with his master in the mountains, living a life devoid of any pleasures.

“You’ve got tough bones,”

Julius Reed said, unable to resist throwing a compliment to Eli Yarrow.

But both of them knew in their hearts that it was sarcasm, naked sarcasm.

“I’ve only got this one leg, take your pick.”

Having said that, Julius Reed violently swept out with his leg!

“Come on!”

Whoosh!

Eli Yarrow bellowed, his leg again colliding with Julius Reed’s!

Hiss!

The already injured leg became unbearably painful after such a devastating blow.

It was only because of Eli Yarrow’s exceptional skills that he wasn’t howling in agony, unlike what would have happened to others.

But even with his incredible strength and resilience far surpassing ordinary people, after enduring two such impacts,

he could barely hold back any longer.

Within a few short seconds, cold sweat had formed on his forehead.

What made him feel even more helpless was that Julius Reed didn’t seem to have any plans of stopping but instead kicked out once more!

What was even more outrageous was,

Julius Reed didn’t switch legs at all; he used the same one as before!

Whoosh!

Eli Yarrow finally gave up on using the injured leg and opted for his other, uninjured, leg!

“Aah!”

After the third collision, Eli Yarrow’s heart shuddered violently, and he became somewhat unsteady on his feet.

“What’s going on?”

Seeing that Eli Yarrow hadn’t taken care of things after so long, Beckett Carmichael grew impatient.

“Boss, just give me a little more time… Ah…”

Before he could finish speaking, Julius Reed kicked out again!

Crack!

The leg that Eli Yarrow had originally injured was kicked clean through and broken!

The sound of the bone breaking was clearly audible.

“Haha! Aron Jackson, I told you not to ask for trouble! I’m willing to give you some face regarding your business, but now look, you had to seek your own humiliation. Now I’ll just have to oblige you,” Beckett Carmichael said, feeling elated upon hearing the sound of the bone breaking, thinking that it was one of Aron Jackson’s men who had a leg broken.

In Gonzalez City, many people knew of Eli Yarrow, knew about this terminator-like ruthless character by Beckett Carmichael’s side, so hardly anyone dared to provoke them.

Now, having arrived in little Gonzalez City and being able to teach the local boss a lesson right off the bat, his mood was quite elated. He even turned his back to Julius Reed and the others and started humming a tune.

“Master, it’s our man… ”

“Our men didn’t strike first. Don’t you know my character, Beckett Carmichael? If someone shows me an inch of respect, I’ll return a foot! But now, someone is asking for trouble. Teaching them a lesson is nothing,” Beckett Carmichael interrupted his butler and continued singing the latest single released by Nando Brandon.

Now, every night before sleep, Nando Brandon has to video call Beckett Carmichael to sing him lullabies.

The upper echelons of Gonzalez City all knew this, but no one ever pointed it out.

Who doesn’t have some history they’d rather keep to themselves?

Everyone tacitly understood and even gave Nando Brandon a bit of face when they attended his establishments.

“Master, it’s our man whose leg has been broken!”

The butler, facing Beckett Carmichael, happened to see everything that had occurred at the entrance clearly.

He too had thought that Eli Yarrow would easily handle these people, and saying it would be a cinch was not an exaggeration.

But having witnessed everything, he was more shocked than anything!

The once undefeatable Eli Yarrow, even symbolizing invincibility.

Now was kneeling before Julius Reed, his body trembling involuntarily.

Like a defeated person kneeling before a conqueror in submission!

The butler, who had witnessed Eli Yarrow’s methods, couldn’t believe this was real!

But, it happened!

“Boss Carmichael, sorry for going a bit hard, don’t take it to heart,” Julius Reed said with a grin, stepping on Eli Yarrow’s head, “Young man, let me give you some advice—don’t get too heated. It’s better to be low-profile. Being too ostentatious isn’t good!”

Eli Yarrow, kneeling on the ground, was both ashamed and frustrated.

He, who had so easily beaten others down before, now had his leg brutally broken with a kick!

It was simple and crude—no technique at all!

To have his leg broken just like that!

A rush of humiliation, pain, and a sense of defeat overwhelmed him!

Especially Julius Reed’s words, they made him feel even worse.

Indeed, history is written by the victors.

In terms of arrogance, wasn’t Julius Reed, standing over his head and lecturing, even more arrogant now?

To actually tell him he was too arrogant!

But Eli Yarrow’s reason told him, keep silent!

When facing such a formidable opponent, if he persisted stubbornly, he would only harm himself.

On the other hand, by kneeling and not resisting, he could still save himself.

This was the last thing his master told him before he left the mountain!

Eli Yarrow never dreamed that he, always so proud, would actually have to heed those words!

“What did you say! How could Eli Yarrow possibly fail!” Beckett Carmichael frowned and spun around sharply.

Thud!

Upon seeing the scene in front of him, the cigar fell from his mouth to the ground.
