Chapter 674: Chapter 674: A Friendly Handshake_1
“Julius Reed, I’m pleased to meet you!”
Odingle Keller extended a hand, his hostility veiled by his less than fluent Hua Xia language.
His mouth said he was pleased, but his heart was nearly full of hatred for Julius Reed!
The Odingle family had followed Roosevelt for years, taking care of the Roosevelt family’s overseas business.
Now his own brother had been severely injured, and the enemy was right before his eyes—how could Keller be pleased?

If it weren’t for Chopter’s intervention, he would have loved to punch this fragile-looking Eastern man to death!
...
“I am also very happy to meet you.”
Julius Reed replied with a polite smile, yet he did not shake Keller’s hand.
“This Mr. Reed seems not to give much face to our Roosevelt family, eh…”
Chopter, seeing Julius Reed’s indifferent expression, said teasingly to Itai Huntington.
“Julius Reed! Don’t be so rude when someone offers you a handshake!”
Itai Huntington hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, “Our employee is straightforward and doesn’t know the rules.”
They couldn’t afford to offend the Roosevelt consortium, a major financial group in the Americas.
If the Business Alliance could really reach a cooperation with the Roosevelt consortium, they might make a huge profit in the future.
They would also take the opportunity to grow stronger and more powerful!
“Alright then.” Julius Reed extended his hand and grasped Keller’s firmly.
“Oh! Mr. Reed, I’m really happy…” began Keller, his face full of smiles until it suddenly turned a shade of green.
A handshake?
He just wanted to vent his anger!
And Chopter also wanted to put Julius Reed in his place!
But!
They had underestimated Julius Reed!
Keller, who had intended to crush Julius Reed’s hand, was now wearing an expression of unbearable pain on his face.
The other man’s strength was greater!
“Mr. Keller, are you not feeling well?”
Julius Reed asked with some curiosity, “Your face, why has it turned green?”
Anyone’s hand being crushed would turn green, wouldn’t they?
But all he could manage to say was, “I’m not used to the local conditions. The wind in Gonzalez City is somewhat… somewhat strong…”
Keller, who had been full of pride just moments ago, now looked as if he were about to cry.
Pain!
Agonizing, heart-wrenching pain!
“In your country, is it customary to shake hands for such a long time?”
The smile on Julius Reed’s face grew broader.
“That’s… that’s enough…”
Keller’s facial muscles twitched continuously, clearly unable to hold on much longer.
He wanted to let go, but Julius Reed’s grip was so tight, how could he pull away?
“Let’s call it even.”
At that moment.
Jay King walked over and said coldly.
A chill flashed in his eyes.
“Hmm.”
Crack!
Julius Reed suddenly exerted more force, then slowly released his hold on Keller’s hand.
“Hiss…”
Keller inhaled sharply, the veins on his head bulging!
His hand bones were shattered.
If not for years of training that had forged his iron will.
He would have screamed in agony from that grip.
“Brother, are you not feeling well?” Julius Reed looked at Keller with a strange gaze, extending a hand as if to catch him.
“No… no problem at all!”
Keller quickly withdrew his hand.
He desperately suppressed the pain inside him, his voice weak as he said, “Thank you for your kindness, I… I need to use the restroom!”
Now he had to swallow his teeth down his throat!
Who asked for this, provoking the man himself?
He hadn’t expected that trying to steal a chicken would lead to losing the rice instead.
“Wait a minute!”
Julius Reed took a step forward, directly grabbed Keller’s arm, and yanked him back forcefully!
“Hiss!”
Keller’s heart spasmed with pain, and he almost fainted.
“What are you doing!”
Jay King took another step forward, radiating an extremely strong presence!
If Julius Reed dared to harm Keller, he wouldn’t mind making a move in public.
“The bathroom is over there,” Julius Reed pointed behind him and said with a simple smile, “Brother, you’re going the wrong way. Just wanted to kindly point it out.”
“Thanks… thanks.”
Keller’s forehead was drenched in sweat, which dripped into his eyes and made everything look somewhat blurry.
“You’re welcome.”
Julius Reed patted him on the shoulder. “See you later.”
“See you later…”
Keller scurried to the bathroom, unable to restrain a muffled roar.
“Ah…”
“Holy shit! Who the hell makes such a racket taking a dump? Scared the crap outta me!”
In the next stall, there was first the splash of something heavy hitting the water, followed by sounds of fishing something out of the water.
“Fuck!”
Already furious, Keller glared at the stall where the noise was coming from with red eyes.
Can’t handle Julius Reed? How about I handle you?
“Folks in the live stream, there was a little mishap just now. But no worries, I’ve managed to fish out my phone.”
“Though it’s not the same time, it is the same bathroom. Today, I’ll live stream again for everyone…”
Whoosh!
Before the broadcaster inside could finish his sentence, Keller kicked furiously!
He smashed the toilet door to smithereens!
Thump!
“Ouch…”
Ignoring the screams behind him, Keller took out a small medicine bottle and, fighting through the severe pain, swallowed its contents.
“Boss, I need to go to the hospital. All the bones in my hand are shattered. You guys be careful!”
He sent a message to Chopter using his phone and quickly left Five-state International.
If he didn’t get to the hospital soon, he would likely lose his hand!
At that moment, Roosevelt Chide…
Was sitting on a chair, chatting with Itai Huntington about a business alliance with a smile.
The moment he saw the message, his expression turned grim.
“Mr. Chopter, is there a problem?” Noticing Roosevelt Chide’s discomfort, Itai Huntington asked.
“Nothing serious, I’m probably just… a little hungry.”
Chopter quickly put on a different expression and smiled as he passed the phone to Jay King, “Sit down, let’s eat.”
“Okay, young master.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Jay King’s eyes but quickly vanished.
He knew well the skills Keller possessed.
Sending Keller to shake hands with Julius Reed was exactly his plan!
Jay King wanted to probe the opponent’s strength.
He had thought it would be an even match, but he hadn’t expected Julius Reed to be so formidable!
“By the way, I have a friend who came along with me.” Chopter smiled at Itai Huntington, “You won’t mind, will you?”
“Of course not!”
Pieter Huntington picked up a glass of red wine, smiling warmly, “Your friend is my friend.”
“Let him in.”
Chopter nodded, and Jay King immediately stood up and left.
Half a minute later, Fabian Percival came in with him.
“Fabian Percival…”
Seeing him enter the restaurant, Itai Huntington’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light!
Fabian Percival had twice put her in mortal danger; the first time, Alonso Dragon had even almost violated her!
This grudge, Itai Huntington would never forget!
“Miss Huntington, we meet again.”
Fabian Percival entered with his hands clasped behind his back, bowed deeply in front of Chopter, and then sat down slowly.
“He… is your friend?”
Itai Huntington looked at Chopter, beginning to ponder his intentions.
“Of course!”
Chopter feigned surprise, “Miss Huntington, you know each other?”
“More than know each other, it’s deeply etched in my memory!”
Itai Huntington suppressed the fury in her heart, doing her best not to appear too impulsive.
At that moment, Julius Reed received a message from Aron Jackson.
Members of the Lopez family had arrived in Gonzalez City.
“I’m going to step out and make a call; you all continue chatting.”
He stood up and flashed an odd smile at Fabian Percival.
