Chapter 2575: Chapter 2575: An Acquaintance
"Marcellus Lopez? How do you know?"
Julius Reed heard this name, and his mood turned very sour.
He knew of Marcellus Lopez’s ambition.
Indeed, what Silvio Reed did back then was certainly underhanded.
But if Marcellus Lopez truly rose to power, he might not necessarily be much better than Silvio Reed.
In Julius Reed’s heart, he wholeheartedly agreed with one of Silvio Reed’s statements.
Between the two, it’s clear Silvio Reed is more suited to be the king of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
More suited to be the ruler of the world.
Marcellus Lopez was not, as he claimed, the sole creator of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, only seeking to establish a peaceful era in the martial arts world.
Everyone has ambition.
Marcellus Lopez’s ambition was not small at all.
He was simply eliminated by Silvio Reed in the internal competition.
Now that Marcellus Lopez has taken away the Blood Soul Emperor, no one knows what the outcome will be.
Back in the Battle of the Southeast Territory, Julius Reed directly intimidated Marcellus Lopez, making him realize that the world had changed.
Marcellus Lopez, relying on his own strength, could not seek revenge nor become the new king.
Since the cooperation at Boulevard Mountain, Marcellus Lopez has gone silent.
Julius Reed wanted to investigate and find an opportunity to resolve the issue.
But unexpectedly, the battle with Silvio Reed led to such an accident.
He hadn’t encountered the Blood Soul Emperor, but he remembered Jessica’s words.
The Blood Soul Emperor came to seek a body.
Once he finds his true form, he will become very difficult to deal with!
Julius Reed thought that with his injuries, trying to stop the Blood Soul Emperor would be extremely difficult, but unexpectedly, the Lord of Nine Nether brought up the Blood Soul Emperor on the phone!
Wasn’t the Blood Soul Emperor going to find his true form?
How could he be severely injured?
And taken away by Marcellus Lopez?
Even in a weakened state, the Blood Soul Emperor, with his powerful telekinesis, could still defeat Marcellus Lopez!
It’s impossible for him to be taken away!
"How accurate is the information? You know, his ability is strong, far beyond what Marcellus Lopez can compare to."
With someone next to him, Julius Reed couldn’t say some things aloud.
They’re all martial artists, and no one knows if there might be Silvio Reed’s remaining subordinates here, or people from other factions.
Better to be cautious.
"Jessica can’t be wrong. The two have a special relationship; she’s very certain that the Blood Soul is heavily injured, even on the verge of telekinesis collapse."
"And Marcellus Lopez probably stumbled upon him by chance and took him away. But what does he intend by taking the Blood Soul?"
The Lord of Nine Nether truly couldn’t understand.
He knew the Blood Soul Emperor well but was unfamiliar with Marcellus Lopez.
Jessica’s information is unlikely to be incorrect.
It’s something the Lord of Nine Nether is very certain about.
Their relationship is very intimate, even good enough to sleep together.
"How are you faring now? Nelson is quite worried, and even Dragon Sister has already taken people out."
The Lord of Nine Nether was also very concerned about Julius Reed.
They had tried many times but had not been able to get in touch.
Nelson almost went to notify Hiddy, hoping to use Demarco Mount’s power to find Julius Reed.
"I’m in a hotel at the base of Autumn Name Mountain. Tell Dragon Dance to come pick me up. Also, Marcellus Lopez is likely trying to exploit the Blood Soul. I suspect he knows the Blood Soul’s identity and wants to gain something from him. No matter what, we have to stop him."
Julius Reed finished, hung up the phone, and handed the phone back to the woman beside him.
Everything was still waiting for Nelson to come along and talk.
"It sounds like you’re still the boss of the sect?" The woman asked, surprised.
She overheard the conversation.
Even though Julius Reed tried his best to conceal it, some information was still exposed.
"Everyone seems to respect you a lot. Now let me guess, who exactly are you?" The woman picked up the phone, thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Anyway, thank you. Oh, feel free to use this phone. I have another, just return it to me when you leave."
"I’m a bit embarrassed."
Julius Reed accepted the phone and unceremoniously pocketed it.
He still really needed it for now.
At least until Nelson found him.
"It’s fine, the people from the church will definitely come looking for trouble later. The Dragon and Phoenix cannot be relied upon, can you deal with it for me?"
The woman raised an eyebrow, and as she spoke, there was unexpectedly a hint of teasing.
"If you want me, I can give myself to you. After all... you’re an expert; following you is better than being bullied by others."
She moved closer to Julius Reed.
"How about it?"
"Not interested. I don’t like women, really." Julius Reed politely refused. "But if you could let me stay in a better room, I can help you out. Whether it’s money or defeating the church’s people."
"Alright."
The woman was quite helpless but arranged for a martial artist to take Julius Reed upstairs.
After Julius Reed was severely injured, the Eye of God also began to be a bit blurred.
He couldn’t even see clearly three meters away.
The Eye of God, which originally required a lot of spiritual power to maintain, was evidently in a very weakened state now.
Yet as he passed a guest room, Julius Reed sensed something was amiss.
Inside the room was a top martial artist.
He lowered his breath, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
"Let me ask."
Upon entering his room, which was also a high-end hotel room, Julius Reed curiously asked, "Are there other guests in the hotel?"
"Yes, a very peculiar person. This person doesn’t talk much, but he seems quite capable."
The martial artist who accompanied him upstairs was also someone who enjoyed gossip, so seeing Julius Reed ask, he started chatting, "This guy can’t do without alcohol. You know, he came here and drank so much alcohol; he paid quite generously! Most of the alcohol in our store has been drunk by him!"
"Do you know what his name is?"
Julius Reed felt something was off.
Drinking alcohol?
He took the phone the proprietress gave him and dialed a string of numbers.
These were all virtual, single-use numbers.
For safety and encryption.
"Is Iwan Martinez confirmed dead?"
He asked.
"Previously, he seemed dead. But the body disappeared; none of us saw what happened."
"Review the surveillance and find out what’s going on with this quickly."
Julius Reed hung up the phone and continued to wait for the response from the person in front of him.
"I don’t know his name, for he’s a guest; we can’t ask too much! But this guy loves drinking, doesn’t go out much. He has a wooden sword in his hand, but it looks like the wooden sword is broken."
After speaking, this person quickly left.
"The proprietress is having a meeting; for any requests, directly call downstairs."
As he left, he said at the door.
Drinking.
Wooden sword?
At this moment, Julius Reed’s phone rang.
"The surveillance didn’t capture, but Iwan Martinez should be dead. Maybe someone stole the body?"
"Understood."
Julius Reed hung up the phone, picked up the Jade Authority Sword, and left the room.
