Chapter 143 - 142 Mantis Stalks the Cicada_1
“Mr. Reed also knows medicine?”
Upon hearing this statement, Miguel Abbott’s heart stirred with turmoil.
Over the years he had made a considerable amount of money, but the cost was the sacrifice of his own health.
When he was younger, it didn’t seem to matter much, but as he got older, he increasingly felt his energy waning.
Especially these illnesses, which began to slowly catch up with him.
He had already visited all the major hospitals and consulted various experts, but they all shook their heads and could only prescribe some palliative medication.
In recent years, his condition had become even more serious, and Miguel Abbott had woken up in pain from his dreams countless times.
Now that he had heard Julius Reed’s words, his heart could no longer remain calm.
“It’s a small matter. After all, I’ve taken tens of billions from you, so this is not a problem.”
Julius Reed closed his eyes and began to rest.
The mention of these tens of billions actually made Miguel Abbott feel somewhat embarrassed.
Although they had only been acquainted for a few days, he knew that Julius Reed was definitely not a man to break his promises. If he said it could be done, it certainly could.
The thought of regaining his health made Miguel Abbott feel that even a hundred billion would be worth it!
And Julius Reed indeed had not deceived him.
After living for tens of thousands of years, what kind of complications had he not seen, and what problem had he not resolved?
His life was a living history!
Soon, the car drove up to Northern-bay Park.
“Mr. Reed, we’ve arrived!”
Allen called out from the front.
He now parked the car at the north entrance of the park and asked for the next step.
“Continue driving in. Pick a spot where there’s nobody.”
Julius Reed opened his eyes and saw through the rearview mirror the several business cars following him.
“Understood!”
Allen nodded and began to slowly drive the Mercedes into the park.
Because Northern-bay Park was under construction, a large part of the area was a construction site.
The West Garden area had few visitors as it was undergoing construction for a musical fountain.
Allen drove at about five miles per hour inside the park, slowly approaching the West Garden area.
As Northern-bay Park was built around the Northern-bay, it was extremely vast.
And since it was under construction, nobody came here.
“Let’s stop here. Have your men arrived?”
Julius Reed opened the car door and looked at Miguel Abbott in the passenger seat.
“Don’t worry, they’re all elites and are ready,” Miguel Abbott nodded but didn’t get out of the car.
This was Julius Reed’s arrangement; to use himself as bait to lure those people.
As expected.
When the business car entered the West Garden area, it didn’t try to hide anymore.
Several Buick GL8s came from different directions and surrounded the Mercedes.
Following that, ten men in black got out of the Buick cars.
“Buddy, if you know what’s good for you, don’t move!”
The men in black, holding steel pipes, quickly surrounded Julius Reed in the middle.
“Who are you guys?”
Julius Reed deliberately asked, playing along with these men.
“Heh, you’ll find out soon enough. If you’re looking for someone to blame, blame it on yourself for messing with the wrong person!”
The man in black didn’t pay attention to the Mercedes but threatened with a sneer.
“That’s really strange! I have a bad temper, you know, and stopping me here for no reason might just piss me off!”
Julius Reed spread his hands, somewhat helpless.
The situation was now clear; the other party wasn’t making a move because they were waiting for Cesar Pendleton to arrive.
Since that was the case, he might as well go along with the plan and wait for Cesar Pendleton to show up.
Before long, a Bentley sped toward them, and behind the Bentley followed more than a dozen Audi cars.
“Little brother, long time no see!”
The Bentley pulled to a stop beside Julius Reed, and then Cesar Pendleton got out of the back seat.
Black-clad men also got off from the Audi cars one after another! And judging by the look of it, these men were definitely good fighters, some were even Sanda coaches.
“So it’s you! Was it not satisfying for me to beat you last time in Gonzalez City?” Julius Reed stood with his hands in his pockets, smiling at Cesar Pendleton. Now that the main man had appeared, it was Miguel Abbott’s turn to perform.
“You dare bring that up!”
Cesar Pendleton spat viciously, his tone malevolent, “Back then, you beat the shit out of me! Young man, do you know there’s a price to pay when you mess around?”
After saying that, an employee immediately passed him a cigarette and lit it for him.
“I stumbled back then; today, I’m going to return it all to you!”
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Cesar Pendleton pointed at Julius Reed, “Kneel before me now and lick my leather shoes, or I’ll immediately cripple one of your legs!”
Having been humiliated so terribly before, he decided to start by claiming some interest.
These past few days, Cesar Pendleton had been dreaming about revenge.
In his dreams, he saw Julius Reed, like a dog, incessantly licking his leather shoes on his knees.
“Hurry up!’
Seeing that Julius Reed hadn’t moved, several employees urged impatiently.
“I’ve given you the opportunity, but please cherish it!” A smirk flashed across Cesar Pendleton’s lips.
Just thinking about the revenge excited him!
In his early years, Cesar Pendleton had never been wronged. Now, having become a big boss, he had stumbled in a small place.
And afterwards, when he went to seek an explanation from the Three Blade Group, he was still given the cold shoulder!
He held all this resentment in his heart and was prepared to vent it all on Julius
Reed.
“And if I don’t?”
Julius Reed looked at Cesar Pendleton with a smile, his eyes not showing a trace of fear.
“Then I’ll let my brothers help you!”
Cesar Pendleton grinned, and his men immediately moved forward.
“You prefer punishment over respect? Once my brothers get involved, you’ll lose this treatment!”
Several employees threatened.
They all understood Cesar Pendleton’s intent well, making Julius Reed lick the shoes voluntarily was the ultimate joy.
If they had to force him, the thrill would be greatly diminished.
“And if I don’t?”
Julius Reed looked at Cesar Pendleton with a smile, his eyes not showing a trace of fear.
“Then I’ll let my brothers help you!”
Cesar Pendleton grinned, and his men immediately moved forward.
“You prefer punishment over respect? Once my brothers get involved, you’ll lose this treatment!”
Several employees threatened.
They all understood Cesar Pendleton’s intent well, making Julius Reed lick the shoes voluntarily was the ultimate joy.
If they had to force him, the thrill would be greatly diminished.
“Sorry, I don’t have that hobby! Didn’t expect Mr. Pendleton here to be into it, but fine, I’ll satisfy you in a moment!”
Julius Reed looked down at his own pair of sports shoes and raised an eyebrow, “However, sadly, these are sports shoes. I trust Mr. Pendleton isn’t picky, right?”
“Fuck! Still so tough when facing death! Hold him down and do it!”
But just then, an employee who was about to attack pointed behind Cesar Pendleton, his voice trembling.
“Why the fuck are you paying attention to that!? Attack, catch him!”
Cesar Pendleton roared.
However, the other employees also stopped, staring straight behind them.
“What’s going on?”
Cesar Pendleton frowned, and as he turned around, his eyes immediately widened in shock!
