Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2688: Chapter 2688: Coincidence

"Incredible!"

He muttered to himself, "It’s downright absurd! Sending someone like this for assassination, is it because they look down on us or intend to catch us off guard?"

The martial artist was named Fernando Percival, a former leader of the Wolf Cavalry.

The southeastern martial arts community had just been pacified, people’s minds destined to be unsettled.

Thus, Julius Reed dispatched some people to serve as Nelson’s trusted aides.

"There’s something fishy about this." Nelson recalled that his own men had died in the southeastern martial arts realm, realizing where the problem lay.

"Perhaps someone wants to use this assassination to gather information about Haven Land." Nelson waved his hand, "Continue."

The car continued to drive.

Soon, they arrived in front of the mansion.

After replacing the Lu family, Nelson had built this place into a bustling area.

Many martial arts families, and ordinary people, have also come to reside here.

A brand new city arose from the flat ground!

In a matter of months, it housed millions.

The mansion was situated in a very secluded area.

It was safe here.

Surrounded by Nelson’s forces.

As they got out of the car, Fernando Percival cleared his throat, "Notify Boulevard, say that Miss Nelson personally comes for a visit!"

"Come in!" Upstairs, Merrill Caldwell pushed open the window, looked at Nelson below, and smiled, "Sister, please!"

Nelson said nothing and walked in with large strides.

Fernando Percival and the others followed behind, dragging all five of them inside.

"Well, sister comes and even brings people?" Merrill Caldwell, wrapped in a cape, stood in the reception room, smiling, "What’s this for?"

"We encountered several assassins on the way here." Nelson sat on a chair and glanced at Merrill Caldwell, "Sister, help take a look and see who these people are."

"Assassins?" Merrill Caldwell was stunned for a moment. After examining the five people carefully, she couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you kidding, sister? These five people can assassinate you?"

Among the five, the strongest was merely a newly inducted Great Grandmaster.

Though Nelson wasn’t very strong before, after comprehending that swordsmanship, she directly broke through!

Even against a peak Great Grandmaster, she could hold her ground.

Moreover, how many peak Great Grandmasters are there?

"I’m as surprised, but they indeed came to assassinate." Nelson picked up her teacup, took a sip, and chuckled, "Sister, care to interrogate them for me?"

"There’s not much to interrogate." Merrill Caldwell walked to one of them, bent down, and asked, "Assassinate?"

"Hmph!"

The man just scoffed softly, with eyes full of disdain.

"If you’re going to kill, just kill, don’t chatter!"

Seemingly worried he wouldn’t die, he didn’t forget to mock, "Girl, you’re quite pretty, if there’s a chance, I must develop you well!"

"You!"

Merrill Caldwell’s maid rushed forward directly.

Daring to insult Merrill Caldwell like this, they had long harbored murderous intent.

"Prize open his mouth." Merrill Caldwell wasn’t angry; instead, she laughed: "When a person wants something badly, you deliberately deny them. He wants to die, can’t you tell?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several male martial artists immediately went over and forcibly pried open the man’s mouth.

"What do you think, sister?" Merrill Caldwell turned around to look at Nelson.

"Handle it as you see fit." Nelson sipped her tea, casually said, "I’ve always been curious why Julius Reed would be interested in a young girl, maybe just because she’s ignorant?"

Once these words were stated, everyone’s face in the room changed.

Including Merrill Caldwell’s maids.

But no one dared to speak.

Because this isn’t an overt matter.

It’s a hidden struggle!

Anyone who speaks risks death.

"Then, sister, watch closely." Merrill Caldwell finished speaking and suddenly drew her sword!

Clang!

A tooth from the martial artist was sent flying!

Blood started flowing.

"Today, I’ll pull out all his teeth, then, little by little... use a knife coated with chili to slice off his tongue. His eyes, and ears..."

Merrill Caldwell’s laughter echoed like a silver bell.

As she spoke, several more teeth of the man fell out immediately.

Blood splattered everywhere!

Continuous wails echoed.

The surrounding assassins’ faces changed dramatically.

All worried that disaster would fall upon them.

"No need to hurry speaking, because once you speak, I’ll continue anyway. I just want you to see if I mean what I say."

Merrill Caldwell glanced at Nelson, her sword continuously stirring in the man’s mouth.

Thud!

When people let go, that assassin started convulsing.

"Stand him up, let me see how big his guts are!"

Merrill Caldwell spoke with a calm face.

"No! We’ll talk!"

The leading Great Grandmaster hurriedly shouted, "Make it quick! I’ll say everything!"

"No rush." Merrill Caldwell stabbed with her sword.

The man painfully watched his own guts, but still didn’t die.

Everyone around was terrified.

Motionless.

Even Nelson hadn’t expected this young girl to turn out like this.

But when you think about it, it’s understandable, hasn’t she herself changed?

To not change is to die.

That’s the way of the world.

Only by changing can one survive.

"Alright, now you can say whatever you want." Merrill Caldwell put away her sword.

"We were sent by Dirk Ridge to assassinate Miss Nelson! That’s it, nothing else! Please make it quick!"

The Great Grandmaster knelt and begged for mercy.

Others around him also knelt.

"Dirk Ridge again?" Nelson was a bit surprised upon hearing the name.

The people who died before were on Dirk Ridge’s territory.

"Your nemesis?" Merrill Caldwell sat back in the chair, face to face with Nelson.

"No, just a minor figure. But strangely, within two days, this minor figure repeatedly provokes me?" Nelson started contemplating.

"Coincidentally, I came to show you a video." Merrill Caldwell waved, and a maid brought over a laptop and placed it before Nelson.

A video was playing on the laptop.

A ship was cruising on the open sea.

Suddenly, a person fell onto the ship.

Immediately, the person whipped the sea into a frenzy, even carrying the ship, running on the sea.

"This is..." Nelson couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Is this human strength?

"My people from Boulevard accidentally filmed it." Merrill Caldwell pointed at the screen, "Coincidentally, this person appeared in your territory, so I raced over, fearing you wouldn’t take it seriously, I personally came."

"Thank you." Nelson nodded.

This video holds significant value.

"I looked into it." Merrill Caldwell snapped her fingers, and a maid brought a piece of paper.

Merrill Caldwell pushed the paper to Nelson, "This cruise ship belongs to Five-state Group. The boss of Five-state Group is named Dirk Ridge!"

"Dirk Ridge?" Upon hearing this name, Nelson finally realized that everything in front of her wasn’t a coincidence.

But a conspiracy.

"Notify Demarco Mount, pass the video and current events over." Nelson didn’t hesitate and immediately ordered.
