Chapter 253: Chapter 252 Effortless_1

Translator: 549690339

After leaving the Willson Building, Julius Reed didn’t follow Quella Radcliffe back. Instead, he commanded Miguel Abbott and Cosmo to ensure Quella’s safety before he left alone in his car.

Thanks to Brayden Leopold’s role as an inside agent in the Leopold Family, Black Dog had already sent the information to Julius Reed without anyone noticing.

Since Master Pendleton’s senior fellow-disciple had personally descended the mountain, and given that his skills were rumored to be profound, Julius Reed naturally chose to separate from those around him to avoid innocent casualties.

Julius was not at all worried about his own safety; even during the time he had amnesia, his life had never been threatened. Once his memory returned, there were almost no people in this world who could kill him!

Master Pendleton’s senior fellow-disciple was known as Long Eyebrow. The duo had wandered the world, and wherever they went, wealthy merchants vied to offer their tribute, heeding their every command.

The two committed all kinds of evil acts, and ever since they left their mountain retreat, they had done every conceivable bad deed with the money they took.

Yet, because their powers were so great, and with the merchants covering their tracks, they remained unscathed.

Now, enticed by the Leopold Family’s hefty reward, and with Master Pendleton severely injured, the Long Eyebrow master had traveled thousands of miles to get there.

After the banquet had ended, the people from the Leopold family had been secretly following Julius Reed. They had witnessed Master Pendleton’s abilities and thus held even greater reverence for Long Eyebrow, regarding him as a godlike figure.

Whitley Leopold went so far as to declare outright that Julius Reed could not escape his fate today!

On Black Dog’s advice, Brayden Leopold didn’t join the Leopold family in watching the battle. Instead, he quietly slipped back to the Leopold residence, ready to take out Atlas Leopold without making a sound!

There were rumors that Atlas Leopold had almost fully recovered, and the Leopold family had begun to entertain the idea of handing the reins back to him.

This was something Brayden Leopold could not tolerate.

The car moved slowly, and Julius Reed’s eyes never stopped scanning. He could feel the killing intent nearby, growing stronger and stronger.

Cosmo had intended to stay and protect Julius Reed but was rejected. To Julius, the safety of Quella Radcliffe was of the utmost importance.

Moreover, he firmly believed he could easily handle these petty thieves.

Finally, as the car reached a red light intersection, a monk wearing a yellow robe slowly walked onto the crosswalk and stood in front of Julius’s car.

Julius Reed smirked and slammed down on the accelerator!

Bang!

With the roar of the engine, the car sped towards the monk at breakneck speed!

If an ordinary person were to be hit, they would be killed on the spot!

Yet the monk standing on the crosswalk didn’t even attempt to dodge. He quickly turned around and thrust his hands forward with tremendous force!

Bang!

The car might as well have hit a wall of stone; it shook violently and was unable to advance any further.

The monk who stood in the path of the car merely stepped back a few paces and left footprints half a meter long on the asphalt.

The front end of the Mercedes was utterly wrecked, the car was dead, and the hood emitted trails of black smoke.

Inside the cabin, Julius Reed slowly pushed away the airbag in front of him and shoved the car door open.

“Are you all right?”

He looked at the monk in front of him and asked, “Do you need me to call an ambulance or take you to the hospital? I don’t want to be responsible for getting hit by a car!”

The sudden question stunned the Long Eyebrow master, but he then burst into laughter, “No harm done! This old monk has tough skin; that metal contraption can’t hurt me. What about you, benefactor? Are you injured?”

“I’m fine! A car worth over a million has high safety standards. With the airbags deployed, I didn’t suffer much. Still, I think it’s best to take you to the hospital to avoid being accused of hit-and-run—that’s a responsibility I can’t afford to take!”

Julius Reed leaned against his Mercedes, speaking with a smile.

“Such courtesy, benefactor! If you truly feel uncomfortable about it, why not accompany this old monk to meet someone?”

The Long Eyebrow master spoke with a benevolent and friendly air.

Julius Reed took a harder look at the monk who had stopped a speeding car with his flesh and blood body without a scratch, and admiration flickered in his eyes.

Compared to Master Pendleton, Long Eyebrow Master’s spiritual power was clearly much deeper.

“Now that you’re okay, I guess I’ll be taking my leave! Let’s get one thing straight, it’s not that I won’t take you to the hospital, it’s that you yourself don’t want to go!”

Julius Reed pointed at him and, after confirming once more, turned to leave.

At the same time, he took out his phone and called Miguel Abbott: “My car broke down on Fly Leap Road, and it seems to be blocking traffic. Send someone to take it away.”

Leaving the car at the intersection would inevitably cause a lot of trouble for traffic, and if a passing traffic police were to investigate, things could get a bit tricky.

“Mr. Reed, have you encountered…”

“A minor issue, I’ve got it under control, just remember to move the car. I don’t have time to explain now, got to hang up!”

After Julius Reed hung up, he realized that Long Eyebrow Master had somehow appeared before him without notice.

“Old man, are you trying to scare me to death!”

Julius Reed patted his chest, pretending to be startled.

“Patron, the fact that you ran into me is no big deal. I can still walk and jump; there’s no need for panic. But in this world, every cause has its effect, and the evil seeds you’ve sown, you must reap!”

Long Eyebrow Master said cheerfully, “Today, I am here to carry out Heaven’s will!”

Seeing him say this, a smile crept up on the corners of Julius Reed’s mouth; it seemed the fox’s tail was finally showing.

Yet he still feigned ignorance: “Master, what do you mean? I’m more and more confused the more I listen.”

“As long as you come with me, you’ll naturally understand what has happened!”

Long Eyebrow Master brought his palms together and whispered, “If you come with me, there’s a chance to cleanse your sins. Otherwise, you may end up in hell!”

“Monk, don’t scare me!”

Julius Reed took a step back in fright, pointing at Long Eyebrow Master: “In my life, I’ve done all sorts of things except good deeds. If you want to take me away, I’ll have to call for help!”

“Patron, what you have to face, you must confront. This evading will lead you nowhere!”

Long Eyebrow Master raised his head, looking at Julius Reed: “Come with me!”

“I won’t!”

Julius Reed shook his head.

“It seems the old monk really has to convert you by force!”

Long Eyebrow Master narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and firmly grabbed Julius Reed’s arm!

At the same time, he delivered a heavy blow behind his neck with his right hand!

Julius Reed, seemingly with no defenses, passed out immediately.

And Long Eyebrow Master lifted him onto his shoulder and vanished from the street in an instant.

Meanwhile, in a villa in the development zone of Five-river Province, Master Pendleton slowly stood up from his seat and leapt from the third floor, sprinting toward the door.

“Master! What are you doing?”

A member of the Leopold Family responsible for taking care of Master Pendleton asked, following him breathlessly.

“My elder brother has returned, prepare a room, it’s time for revenge!”

Master Pendleton laughed heartily, becoming invigorated: “Foolish lad, daring to harm me! Today, I will make sure you die without a burial place!”

Boom!

The next moment, Long Eyebrow Master appeared out of nowhere, with the man on his shoulder being none other than Julius Reed: “Junior brother, he was too weak!”
