After returning to the Pearl on the Water, Miguel Abbott was already anxiously pacing back and forth at the front gate.

Unlike before, there were noticeably more security guards and bodyguards around the Pearl on the Water.

Even the customers coming to the restaurant had to go through several checks. It was evident that Miguel Abbott was taking security very seriously.

“Daughter, Mr. Reed, you’re finally back!”

Seeing the convoy returning, Miguel Abbott couldn’t wait to go out and greet them.

The news of Atlas Leopold being beaten spread rapidly among the upper echelons of Five-river Province.

The initial superficial injuries didn’t make Miguel Abbott so vigilant.

After all, it’s normal for young people to have bumps and scrapes. What kid doesn’t get into fights?

But later, when Julius Reed lifted a table and broke one of Atlas Leopold’s legs, Miguel Abbott could no longer sit still.

He knew that the Leopold Family’s retaliation would soon be upon them!

Not only did he know, but all the big shots in Five-river Province were crystal clear about it.

Some, who were on very good terms with Miguel Abbott, had already called to inquire and even wanted him to make a declaration of allegiance by personally capturing Julius Reed and delivering him to the Leopold Family.

Only by doing so could they mollify the wrath of the Leopold Family and allow Miguel Abbott to stay out of the fray.

Otherwise, given how close he and Julius Reed were, it was feared that if the Leopold Family, the Potter Family, and the Three Blade Group joined forces, the Abbott Family would be in big trouble.

But Miguel Abbott alone knew just how powerful Julius Reed was!

He had already picked a side, and there was no turning back.

So, for safety’s sake, he had summoned all the manpower he could mobilize to guard the Pearl on the Water Hotel. At least here, they were absolutely safe.

“Dad…”

Ives Abbott suddenly threw herself into Miguel Abbott’s arms, her voice tinged with tears, “It’s my fault, dragging Brother Davenport into this. You have to help him! So many people want to kill him, on our way back, we even encountered Shadow Warriors…”

“What!”

Miguel Abbott looked at Julius Reed and asked, “Mr. Reed, they’ve acted so quickly?”

It had been less than an hour since Atlas Leopold’s leg was broken, and within this hour, Shadow Warriors had already been mobilized?

Such operational efficiency greatly shocked Miguel Abbott.

“No matter! These people were not sent by the Leopold Family. Some people always want me dead, and I can’t help it, I can only send them on their way.” Julius Reed spoke lightly.

Indeed, these people were not sent by the Leopold Family, but were bounty hunters who had taken the job on the dark web.

Clearly, his earlier actions at the Pearl on the Water had reached the ears of these Shadow Warriors, who had now rushed from Gonzalez City and were lurking in Five-river Province.

The Wen Four was the first, but definitely not the last.

In Five-river Province, there were at least ten Shadow Warriors or organizations in hiding.

On the way back, Cosmo had already reported to him based on the information they had.

According to intelligence, there are still three groups of Shadow Warriors remaining in Gonzalez City. Cosmo had taken out one of them, but the other two were too well-hidden for her to strike.

However, with the protection of Willson Pavilion and Cosmo, Quella Radcliffe would not be in any danger, allowing him to flex his muscles here.

It’s best to resolve all troubles at once.

“Mr. Reed, as I understand, Cesar Pendleton has already made contact with the Leopold Family and even the Potter Family, and they have decided to take action against me.”

Miguel Abbott sighed, sounding somewhat helpless.

If it was just one family, he wouldn’t be scared at all!

But now, several tycoons had joined forces, and the situation was obviously not that simple.

The Potter Family was one of the leading figures in Five-river Province, considered the strongest entrepreneur on the surface.

The Leopold Family was an established clan, operating in the province for many years, with connections and financial resources far beyond that of other families.

Cesar Pendleton was the toughest boss to deal with in Five-river Province.

Although his assets did not compare with the others, when it came to ruthless actions, he was undoubtedly the strongest!

After all, having started from the streets and then running a pleasure city, his strength has become the most formidable over the years.

He even vaguely heard rumors that the Three Blade Group was also involved.

If the situation were true, then they would truly be besieged on all sides, facing enemies both front and back.

“There’s no need to panic, I will resolve this matter!”

Julius Reed waved his hand dismissively and strode into the Pearl on the Water.

As long as his group was backing him, what did it matter if several families united against him?

The Ridge Family’s assets were vast; the several bigwigs of Five-river Province combined might not even match a fraction of the Ridge Family’s wealth.

Hearing this statement, Miguel Abbott finally took a reassurance pill. He was very aware that Julius Reed never did anything uncertain, nor would he make uncertain statements.

Since he dared to say so, he must have full confidence and already had a plan in mind.

“You better behave yourself from now on! ”

Miguel Abbott looked at Ives Abbott in his arms and scolded her with a tinge of heartache.

He had a rough idea of what happened today, and with Allen’s explanation, he knew that Ives Abbott had caused the trouble.

And Julius Reed, he had even personally taken charge to solve the problem for Ives Abbott.

Miguel Abbott knew that this was entirely out of consideration for his own face.

He sighed deeply and led Ives Abbott back into the Pearl on the Water.

Meanwhile, at the Leopold Family’s private hospital.

As a native great family of Five-river Province, the Leopold Family’s strength was among the upper echelon.

And although Atlas Leopold was a super-rich second generation, he was not like those prodigal sons who indulged in nothing but eating, drinking, and merrymaking all day long.

On the contrary, he managed affairs everywhere, showing great intention of taking over the family business.

The Leopold Family was pleased to see such a scenario. Compared to the other families, Atlas Leopold was already outstanding!

This was what the Leopold Family found most comforting.

But now, their hope had been cruelly shattered!

Atlas Leopold lay comatose in the private hospital’s bed.

Several provincial top-tier doctors crowded around the operating table, sweating profusely as they worked on medical treatment.

The Leopold Family had the capital to build a hospital in the house.

Even the medical equipment was the best in the province.

Including the doctors present, they could all be summoned at the first notice.

“Mr. Leopold, we have done our utmost, the young master’s life is saved, but his leg…”

At this point, the doctor seemed somewhat troubled.

“What about his leg!”

Hearing that Atlas Leopold was out of danger, Old Master of the Leopold Family was visibly delighted, but upon hearing the rest, his concern quickly grew.

“Despite our best efforts, the force was simply too great—his leg couldn’t be saved.”

The doctor’s voice grew softer as he spoke.

“Useless!”

Old Mr. Leopold bellowed, pointing his cane at the doctor: “You quack! You must save Atlas’s leg by any means necessary today! How could the future successor of the Leopold Family be a Limping Man!”

“Mr. Leopold, Dr. Cook is already the top orthopedic surgeon in the province. If he says it’s impossible, then it really is impossible!”

Another doctor stepped forward to support his colleague.

The rest of them also removed their masks and bowed their heads in silent agreement.

“Is there truly… no other way?”

Old Master of the Leopold Family looked at Atlas Leopold on the operating table, tears streaming down his aged face..
