Chapter 198: Chapter 197 Master Pendleton_1

Translator: 549690339

Just as Julius Reed was about to reach the gate of the Pearl on the Water, Cesar Pendleton felt a sense of urgency burning inside him.

In front of himself and Irving Harris’s employees, he had just boasted arrogantly.

If he just let the opposition walk away like this, how would he have any face left?

Losing face twice in one day, who could stand it!

With that thought, Cesar Pendleton steeled his heart and, gripping his wooden stick, prepared to make a move again!

Whoosh!

But before he could take two steps, the gun in Irving Harris’s hand went off again.

“Today, anyone who dares to cause the death of my wife and child will have their entire family join them in burial!”

Irving Harris looked at Cesar Pendleton coldly, and said word by word, “Don’t make this hard for me! Today, consider it as owing you a favor, and I will repay it double in the future!”

If it were himself being controlled, he could risk everything and fight to the death.

But now, it was his wife and children who were under control.

Even if Irving Harris were more ruthless, he couldn’t bring himself to gamble with their lives.

He couldn’t afford to lose.

“Old Harris, I’m sorry for today, but he must die!”

Cesar Pendleton was equally enraged!

After that video was released, he was already nearly ruinously disgraced.

If this matter spread throughout Five-river Province, his status would inevitably be affected, and many people would also look down on him inwardly.

If he let Julius Reed walk away unscathed, especially after what he had just said, then it would be impossible for him to ever recover his reputation. What employee would want to follow a boss who was so humiliated?

So even if Irving Harris intervened, he didn’t care!

“Then you’ll have to get past me first!”

Irving Harris suddenly slapped his wheelchair, and the employees behind him immediately charged forward.

“What are you doing!”

Cesar Pendleton’s bodyguards saw the situation turning grim and immediately stepped in front of their boss to protect him.

The once-close partners became adversaries in an instant.

Miguel Abbott stood by, gaping, somewhat dazed and confused.

The crisis was resolved just like that?

But he had no idea when Julius Reed had sent people to the Eight Unity Place. The two were practically inseparable, with Miguel Abbott always by Julius Reed’s side.

Had Julius Reed anticipated that Irving Harris would cause trouble?

And in such a short amount of time, sent people to breach Eight Unity Place’s defenses and take control of Harris’s wife and children?

Thinking this, Miguel Abbott felt a chill down his spine.

“Gentlemen, it is not worth harming the harmony over this!” As the big boss of the Pearl on the Water, he had to step in and play peacemaker.

After all, with Irving Harris’s wife and children in Julius Reed’s hands, today’s matters were very likely to end amicably.

His intervention was to give both sides a way out, as face-saving was important, and it wouldn’t look good for either to back down first.

It was all about preserving dignity.

“Today, whoever dares to oppose me, let them come and try!”

Irving Harris shot a cold glance at Miguel Abbott and said, “First ask if I agree to it!”

“Brother Harris, are you determined to be against me?”

He took a deep breath, quickly weighing his options.

A complete falling out would likely make his future in Five-river Province even more difficult.

But if he did a favor now, he would be finished for good.

In the future, he would have no dignity left to face his employees.

“Benefactor, you have too much killing intent! I believe you should rest for a while, or else your malevolent energy will lead you to a bad end,” said a monk, suddenly appearing at the door.

He was draped in a black kasaya, clutching a string of Buddha beads in his hand, but strangely, he had no eyebrows above his eyes.

At first glance, it seemed very strange.

“Those who block my path will die,”

Julius Reed said with a smile as he looked at the monk standing at the doorway.

According to the intelligence Black Dog had provided earlier, the Leopold Family had invited three experts this time.

The Western swordsman, Lucan Davenport, had already turned his coat and was now enjoying tea at the Eight Harmonies Pavilion.

On the other hand, the Eastern Bay Warrior was seriously injured and needed proper recuperation for a short period.

The Red Widow’s strike had been quite ruthless.

If it hadn’t been for the Eastern Bay Warrior’s early detection of danger, he might have already died beneath the balcony of the Water Pearl Pavilion. Now, the one who had come was the most skilled of the three, Master Pendleton.

Without any contact, Julius Reed could already feel an intangible Evil Qi emanating from his opponent!

Clearly, one must have killed quite a few people to possess such an aura, and even the degree of this Evil Qi was denser than that of some Shadow Warriors.

Wasn’t it a joke for such a person to say they had too heavy a murderous aura?

“Benefactor, this old monk only wishes to lead you away from the sea of suffering, to distance you from the perils of this mortal world,”

Master Pendleton put his hands together and displayed a most compassionate smile.

If one did not understand him, they might truly believe he was an accomplished and virtuous monk.

“A good dog doesn’t block the way, please step aside,”

Julius Reed did not rush to make a move but waited for the other party to reveal his true colors.

“Even though you speak harshly to me, benefactor, it is my duty to save all sentient beings. As long as you are willing to leave with me, I assure you escape from the sea of suffering and the joy of the Western paradise!”

Master Pendleton slowly opened his eyes, his gaze containing a hint of Evil Qi.

“What if I refuse?”

Julius Reed asked with a smile, without a trace of fear or panic on his face.

This, indeed, seemed strange to Master Pendleton.

Usually, as soon as he made an appearance, his adversaries would immediately shake in terror, kneel to beg for mercy, and even lose the courage to fight back.

After all, Evil Qi truly can intimidate people.

“Then, I can only inconvenience you, benefactor,”

Master Pendleton’s face dropped its smile, replaced by a full display of murderous intent!

“If you have the ability, of course you can!”

Julius Reed remained calm and even kept his hands behind his back as if oblivious to the danger.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Master Pendleton, with one hand, held onto the Buddha Beads and slowly rotated them.

At the same time, he chanted under his breath.

Everyone present seemed to be captivated by the sound.

The gentle chanting relaxed everyone; even Cesar Pendleton and Irving Harris, who exuded murderous Qi, became calm at that moment.

Everybody appeared to be inside a grand temple, with Master Pendleton’s body shining with golden light, seemingly a true accomplished monk.

As time passed, everyone could not help but kneel before Master Pendleton, reveling in the sensation of being bathed in golden light, their hearts utterly submissive!

At that moment, in their eyes, Master Pendleton seemed like a divine being who relieved suffering, providing an unparalleled comfort to their bodies and souls.

Whoo…”

With the sound of a flute suddenly rising, the people inside the Water Pearl Pavilion were snapped back from the illusion of nothingness!

What chilled them even more was that each person was clutching someone else’s neck, and some with weaker constitutions had already fainted due to a lack of oxygen!

An illusion!

“That was close!”

Irving Harris’ forehead instantly beaded with cold sweat.

Having dealings with various countries, he was naturally aware of these means.

Similar to Western hypnotism, yet far surpassing hypnotism!

When everyone came to their senses, they discovered that Julius Reed was standing in front of Master Pendleton, playing a jade flute!

And it was the sound of this flute that had pulled them out of the illusion!
