Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Your Ancestor _1

Beckett Carmichael couldn’t help but rub his eyes at the scene before him.

He even doubted for a moment whether he was seeing things.

Ever since Eli Yarrow had come to his side, they had fought hundreds of battles large and small, without a single defeat!

In Eli Yarrow’s own words, it was “I am invincible, you are arbitrary.”

But now, the once invincibly one-on-one Eli Yarrow, who casually rendered his opponents useless with laughter, was actually bowing down to submit, just like those enemies he had defeated in the past.

Kneeling on the ground, with no resistance whatsoever.

“Who on earth are you!”

Beckett Carmichael, who had been calm and collected, was now scared into a cold sweat.

The reason he could be so tough was that he relied on Eli Yarrow’s unparalleled martial prowess!

But now, his greatest ace was directly out of the game!

What was he to do?

“Boss Carmichael, you are a man of dignity, and I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

Julius Reed kicked Eli Yarrow aside and walked towards Beckett Carmichael with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Don’t… don’t come over…”

Beckett Carmichael’s heart instantly panicked at the sight of Julius Reed.

He swallowed and thought rapidly.

Did he have any enemies in Gonzalez City?

Or, did any enemies follow him to Gonzalez City?

Now all he could think of was regret, why didn’t he bring more people?

Since Eli Yarrow had been by his side, Beckett Carmichael traveled with only this one bodyguard.

Now that Eli Yarrow was defeated, he didn’t even have a helper.

All he could do was wait to die.

“Old Master! I will protect you!”

The butler stood in front of Beckett Carmichael, trembling all over as well.

He was an educated man, good at using his brain on normal days, but when it came to facing such unreasonable people, the butler’s combat effectiveness was zero.

Even so, he had no choice but to step up.

“Step aside!”

Julius Reed glanced at the butler and said coldly, “Take that waste at the door and get out!”

Waste!

When these words were spoken, Eli Yarrow’s body suddenly trembled!

He, who was once considered a proud son of heaven, was now being called waste!

But!

Aside from being insulted, did he have a choice?

No.

The world of the strong knows no sympathy or pity.

Only obedience or.

Death.

“Boss Carmichael, would you rather I take action myself, or…”

“Go! Take Eli Yarrow and go!”

Beckett Carmichael took a deep breath, ready to face the dangerous situation ahead.

With no options left, he could only take one step at a time.

“Old Master…”

“Go! Can’t you hear my words!”

Beckett Carmichael shouted angrily, and although the butler was reluctant, he still glanced at Julius Reed before stomping his foot and leaving the Vermilion Bird Hall.

When he reached the door, he even dragged out Eli Yarrow, who had a broken leg.

Aron Jackson also turned and left, and with a ‘bang,’ closed the door behind him.

In the vast Vermilion Bird Hall, only Julius Reed and Beckett Carmichael remained.

Beckett Carmichael’s breathing was heavy, and his forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.

In front of such a strong opponent, he had no advantages at all.

He had no choice but to wait for death.

“Can you at least let me know who was responsible before I die?”

Beckett Carmichael clenched his fists tightly, unwillingly asking!

He had led the Carmichael family to glory with his own hands, and was on the verge of swallowing the Leocadia family’s industry, becoming the most powerful party.

But fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on people.

In the capital, where he had safely faced countless assassination attempts, he actually ran into trouble in the insignificant Gonzalez City.

To die, and to die in such an aggrieved way!

He was not reconciled!

Unable to witness the Carmichael family reach the pinnacle, Beckett Carmichael was not reconciled!

“Sullivan Carmichael.”

Julius Reed said indifferently.

“What!”

Already resigned to his fate, Beckett Carmichael’s eyebrows shot up as he asked aloud, “Sullivan Carmichael? Isn’t that our ancestor?”

This thoroughly confounded Beckett Carmichael.

Sullivan Carmichael was an ancestor of the Carmichael family, a Martial Scholar recognized by the genealogical records as the first generation to restore glory to the family.

It was said that when Sullivan Carmichael was a child, his father had died, and as a young man, he encountered an exceptional master. After learning some superficial knowledge from this master,

Sullivan Carmichael participated in the martial arts competition, becoming the Martial Scholar of the Rosy Dynasty.

Since then, the fortunes of the Carmichael family had been on the rise, and their wealth had grown increasingly.

By Beckett Carmichael’s generation, they had become a wealthy household.

But Beckett Carmichael was not satisfied with the foundation left by his ancestors, and after thirty years of hard work, he successfully joined the ranks of the four great families of the capital!

On par with the once prominent Leocadia Family!

Now, as the Old Master Leocadia lay gravely ill, the once glorious Leocadia Family seemed on the verge of falling apart.

Beckett Carmichael had identified the right moment to make his move when, unexpectedly, his life seemed to have reached its end.

“You’re toying with me!”

When he came to his senses, his face immediately showed an angry expression.

“If you want to kill, then kill! But please do not desecrate my ancestors! Remember, even as a ghost, I, Beckett Carmichael, will not let you or your mastermind behind the scenes off the hook!”

Beckett Carmichael looked at Julius Reed coldly, a furious light shining in his eyes.

Many people knew about the founding history of the Carmichael family, and the name Sullivan Carmichael was not unfamiliar to them.

Because Beckett Carmichael had specifically renovated the slightly dilapidated ancestral hall of the Carmichael family, hanging the portraits of Sullivan Carmichael and the master who had instructed him in the martial arts together within the hall.

Thus, he believed that this Shadow Warrior before him intended to humiliate him.

To humiliate the Carmichael family.

“Indeed, a descendant of Sullivan Carmichael, unyielding! Moreover, you haven’t forgotten your roots!”

Julius Reed nodded in satisfaction and turned to sit on the sofa, “Come, let’s sit and talk.”

Other people, when intimidated like this, would certainly have knelt on the ground begging for mercy by now.

Those with lesser courage might even end up soiling themselves in fear and weeping bitterly.

And generally, the wealthier people are, the more afraid of death they become.

With such a good life, who would complain that life is too long!

Yet Beckett Carmichael, even mistakenly believing that his ancestor was being insulted, dared to risk his life to protect the dignity of the Carmichael family.

It was rare.

“You… won’t kill me?”

Beckett Carmichael couldn’t believe it.

To know that many people wanted him dead, there was even a fifty million bounty on him in the black market.

But no one was able to get close to him.

Not only because of Eli Yarrow’s formidable martial strength, but also due to his unpredictable comings and goings.

Now, people in the capital only knew that he had left his family to travel elsewhere.

Even with thorough investigation, by the time it was discovered that Beckett Carmichael was in Five-river Province, he would have already returned.

And now to be caught in Gonzalez City, are they not going to kill him and just wait for the New Year’s?

“Kill or maim as you please! But please don’t insult me. After all, I, Beckett Carmichael, am a wealthy magnate and a descendant of the Martial Scholar Sullivan Carmichael!”

At this moment, Beckett Carmichael had come to terms with life and death. He pressed his hands together in a salute, looking up at the sky, “Unworthy descendant Beckett Carmichael, unable to fulfill the revival of the Carmichael family, failed to honor the ancestors.”

Such a man of iron and steel was hard to associate with those slimy, middle-aged rich men besotted with playboy actors.

While a penchant for Coby Dragon was a hobby, unyielding character was in the very genes.

“You really are intent on seeking death, aren’t you!”

Julius Reed shook his head helplessly, looking at Beckett Carmichael and said, “That cleverness of your ancestor, why haven’t you learned a bit of that? Had he been as foolish as you back then, I fear your Carmichael family would’ve starved to death amid the wars, or even now be just peasants.”

Back in the day, Sullivan Carmichael was very astute, seizing every opportunity to learn a few moves surreptitiously.

“You mean…”

With Julius Reed’s words, Beckett Carmichael’s body shuddered, as if struck by some terrifying realization!
