Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Five-river Province, the Leopold Family mansion.

As a well-established large clan, the villa of the Leopold Family was very luxurious, and the security facilities were extremely comprehensive.

Villas like this one, the Leopold Family owned a total of ten in Five-river Province.

Moreover, the security measures of each villa were exactly the same.

It was very difficult for outsiders to determine in which villa the important members of the Leopold Family actually lived.

At this moment, in a villa on the outskirts of Five-river Province, members of the Leopold Family gathered together, their expressions grave. “It’s uncertain whether our dispatched people are up to the task,” an elderly man stroked his beard, clearly worried.

Before Atlas Leopold was incapacitated, these people had never taken a young man from out of town seriously.

Even the local heavyweights would have to think twice before challenging the Leopold Family, let alone someone from out of town.

Yet it was not until Atlas Leopold was lying on a hospital bed, nearly disabled, that they realized their opponent was strong.

Still, these individuals did not give their situation adequate importance; after all, what kind of turmoil hadn’t a great family with a heritage of over a hundred years seen?

But things did not go as they wished.

During the Five-river Province meeting convened by the Leopold Family, Julius Reed barged in on the spot.

The alliance they thought was impregnable, shattered in an instant.

It wasn’t the most important thing that other families did not unite with the Leopold Family.

The Leopold Family had their pride; they firmly believed they were capable of dealing with this young man.

The prerequisite was at any cost.

But when Stanislaus Potter made a move, he directly detained the members of the Leopold Family, making the situation in Five-river Province instantly delicate.

In the initial expectations of the Leopold Family members,

after Quamaine Potter’s legs were broken, Stanislaus Potter previously spared no effort in launching a business war. Though he returned defeated, no one doubted the Potter Family’s determination for revenge!

The Golden Eagle Group was an emerging power in Five-river Province; although it could not compare with the Leopold Family, their assets on paper were already on par.

What they lacked was deep-rooted connections and influence.

But to everyone’s surprise, this most solid partner turned their hands against them and captured them!

This incident had already spread throughout Five-river Province, and nearly

all the prominent figures were well aware.

They were also watching to see what the Leopold Family would do!

Would this established noble family lower their heads or not!

“Gentlemen, what do you think?”

Whitley Leopold asked in a deep voice with his eyes slightly closed, leaning on the chair.

He was the most authoritative elder in the Leopold Family and the true helmsman of the family.

But due to his advanced age, he had not been involved in world affairs in recent years, living a pastoral and reclusive life.

All Leopold Family affairs had been handed over to the middle-aged and younger generations.

As it turned out, Atlas Leopold was indeed a rare talent.

At a young age, he was already able to control nearly a quarter of the Leopold Family’s assets.

While other wealthy second-generation kids spent their days in indulgence and pleasure, Atlas Leopold was already strategizing and successfully completing several big deals.

With the support of the old man, others paved the way for Atlas Leopold without daring to have second thoughts.

At least as long as the Leopold Family was strong, there were benefits for everyone, and they saw no need to manage things on their own.

But now, Atlas Leopold had become almost a cripple.

Whether he would ever wake up was one thing, and even if he did, he was already unable to live a normal life.

The Leopold Family could never be handed over to a disabled person!

The young men who had lost their ambition now saw hope and wanted to take his place!

“I think the Shadow Warrior we sent out is entirely capable of killing that person! You must know, he’s someone I’ve gone to great lengths to hire, and together with my personal bodyguard, that man has nowhere to escape!” Brayden Leopold stood up, saying proudly.

Seeing how outstanding Atlas Leopold was, Brayden Leopold had already prepared himself to live the life of a super-rich second generation. After all, no matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to his brother.

But now, Atlas Leopold had completely fallen!

He couldn’t stand up at all!

He, Brayden Leopold.

Was going to take his place!

After receiving the false intelligence passed on by Atlas Leopold’s personal bodyguard through Julius Reed.

Brayden Leopold volunteered himself, dispatching his own personal bodyguard with a few skilled men to intercept Julius Reed’s assistants.

In his view, this was somewhat making a big deal out of a small issue.

In the face of firearms, any martial arts are just for show!

Brayden was very confident in his own bodyguards.

And this was his first move after Atlas Leopold’s fall!

He had to win beautifully! “Brayden’s work, I’m relatively at ease,”

Whitley Leopold nodded.

They were all his grandchildren; he did not favor one over the other.

The reason the Leopold Family had prospered for so many years rested on a single phrase:

The capable one should hold the position!

Competition was acceptable, but it must be benign. It was impossible to do anything that would harm the family’s interests.

Now that Atlas Leopold had fallen, the Leopold Family still had to continue moving forward.

Although it wasn’t said aloud, the selection of a new successor had all but been finalized.

“Not bad, Brayden’s bodyguard, I have also seen him before. Now that we’ve got the intelligence and take action from the shadows, even if he has three heads and six arms, he still won’t escape!”

Jaylon Leopold, Brayden’s father, stood up with a smile on his face.

When Atlas had the upper hand previously, their branch was the most oppressed.

Now that the clouds had cleared and the sun shone brightly, how could he not be happy?

“Let’s not discuss such minor matters for now. It’s just an assistant we’re dealing with. If our Leopold Family can’t handle this capacity, we might as well roll up our bedding and leave Five-river Province!” Isidore Leopold was obviously displeased.

He was very dissatisfied with Jaylon’s attitude.

On one side, Atlas was still in a coma and had not fully awakened.

On the other side, Jaylon and his son were already secretly conspiring on how to secure the position of successor.

The Leopold Family couldn’t be so heartlessly disloyal!

“What do you mean, Uncle? If you had said this earlier, I wouldn’t have argued with you over the matter, and you could have tried to handle it yourself to see if you could succeed!”

Brayden was very unhappy.

It was his first time making a move, yet his uncle spoke like this. Did he not care for his own face?

The Family Head was there in the central seat, and this was his best opportunity to show proactive effort.

But with Isidore’s words out in the open, it was as if Brayden was impatient for credit, leaving a very bad impression with the Family Head.

“Enough, quiet down!”

Whitley Leopold slammed the table with a sudden force, his eyes sparking with fierceness, “What’s all this noise about? I’m not dead yet! Are you trying to argue to the death here and make me angry?”

With that shout, everyone fell silent.

The Leopold Family still followed the old Family Head’s word.

“In this matter, Brayden has done well. At the very least, he has put effort into our Leopold Family. Even if it’s for competing for the position of successor, it is understandable! Are we supposed to cease just because we’re without Atlas Leopold? The Leopold family’s centuries-old legacy cannot tolerate any negligence!”

Whitley Leopold looked around at the Leopold family members present: “Remember this, a Saint is judged by deeds, not motives! As long as you take action, even if you stand here and tell everyone that you aim to compete for the position of Family Head, it’s alright!”

“But remember, you must have the capability! If not, you’d better get lost early!
