Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Did I Mention Who My Brother Is?_1

“Young Master Leopold?”

Ever since Atlas Leopold had fallen from power, Brayden Leopold had taken the stage, leading his elite forces here and there to put out fires for the Leopold Family, already becoming the newest spokesperson for the family.

Mr. Donkey, being a subordinate of Stanislaus Potter, naturally knew of Brayden Leopold’s big name.

“Young Master Leopold, I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

Mr. Donkey was aware of how ruthless Brayden Leopold could be and couldn’t help but feel some fear in his heart.

He had thought he was only coming out to teach a lesson to some rich second generation who lacked foresight, only to find out that he had harassed the fiancée of Brayden Leopold.

Although the Leopold Family was showing signs of decline, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse, far beyond the status of someone like him to provoke.

With this in mind, Mr. Donkey cursed Joel Martin fiercely in his heart.

“You still recognize me, huh?”

Brayden Leopold, with both hands in his pockets, looked at Mr. Donkey with a smile, “Daring to let my sister-in-law toast you, you’re quite arrogant!”

“No! It’s a misunderstanding! A real misunderstanding! If I had known she was from the Leopold Family, even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare!”

Mr. Donkey, scared to the point his legs went weak, with his employees who had been riding on his coattails also looking as good as dead.

This was truly like touching a tiger’s butt—to not die would mean losing half of his life.

“However, the fact is, if I had come just a few minutes later, the reputation of the Leopold Family might have been dragged through the mud. This is an open challenge to my family, even a deliberate insult!”

Brayden Leopold’s face suddenly turned cold, as more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits rushed over from behind him.

“Young Master Leopold, if you, being the greater person, could let go of my small mistake, please let me off this once! I beg you, I won’t dare again!”

Mr. Donkey was truly scared, with fear coming from the depths of his heart. As an employee, he had no capital to negotiate any conditions with the Leopold Family.

Even if Theon Falls was here today, he couldn’t be sure to persuade Brayden Leopold to show mercy, let alone a mere employee like him.

“Break one hand!”

Brayden Leopold once again took a cigarette out from his pocket, lit it, and looked at Mr. Donkey, “Will you do it yourself, or shall I help you?”

“Wait a minute!”

Just at that moment, Joel Martin stood up from his seat.

Mr. Donkey had come to help him, and if he remained silent, how would he face Theon Falls later? How would he face Stanislaus Potter?

“Who are you?”

Brayden Leopold looked over at Joel Martin, frowning slightly, “I don’t like to be disturbed when I’m handling matters.”

“Young Master Leopold, I am…”

“Here comes Young Master Joel Martin! That Elize Yarrow is your sister-in-law? Call her over here to apologize nicely! And you, if Calvin Leopold is in a good mood, he might let you go, otherwise…”

Isandro Jackson stood up and cut off Joel Martin’s words, looking coldly at Atlas Leopold.

In her eyes, this was a good opportunity for revenge!

Since someone from the Leopold Family had come, it was time to settle all scores!

“Oh? Joel Martin?”

Brayden Leopold dug at his ear, chuckling, “Why haven’t I heard of such a character in Five-river Province?”

As the Boss Family in Five-river Province, aside from knowing young people like the ‘Four Young Masters,’ they would at most recognize the descendants of major merchants like Ives Abbott.

For a rich second generation from a side branch like Joel Martin, they had no energy to acknowledge.

“You don’t even know Calvin Leopold and you dare to step out…”

“Shut up!”

Joel Martin cut off Isandro Jackson’s words sharply, his heartbeat racing faster and faster.

Didn’t this brazen woman know that by speaking to Brayden Leopold like that, she was asking for death?

“Calvin Leopold, this damn woman has beaten me to a pulp, I want them on their knees begging for mercy!”

Isandro Jackson, touching her face covered with scars, yelled furiously.

Clearly, even now she believed Joel Martin was a ‘young master’ of Five-river Province and that the Leopold Family was nothing compared to the Martins and the Potters!

Slap!

Joel Martin sent a slap flying, his hand already beginning to tremble.

Face and future prospects, naturally the latter is more important.

If I offend the Leopold Family today, how would my uncle look at me?

“Calvin Leopold, you… you hit me?”

Isandro Jackson’s face was full of disbelief.

She couldn’t understand why Joel Martin would hit her.

“Young Master Leopold, my associate spoke out of turn, please don’t take it to heart!”

Joel Martin’s eyes shifted, immediately trying to deflect the blame: “I am Stanislaus Potter’s nephew, Joel Martin. There is a matter today that concerns the reputation of the Leopold Family, and I would ask Young Master Leopold to step aside for a word!”

Seeing his sycophantic attitude, everyone immediately understood what was happening. Isandro Jackson especially, with her eyes wide open, couldn’t believe that the Leopold Family was so powerful.

They could make Joel Martin grovel like a dog.

“Speak your piece! If you weren’t Stanislaus Potter’s nephew, I’d break your legs right now!”

Atlas Leopold didn’t give Joel Martin any chance to talk privately.

But he hadn’t yet secured his position as the successor of the Leopold Family, and it wasn’t a good idea to completely fall out with the Potter Family.

“You…”

Joel Martin thought for a moment, deciding that deflecting the problem was still the best way to save Mr. Donkey.

“Your sister-in-law seems to have an… an inappropriate relationship with this man called Julius Reed.”

After Joel Martin spoke, he quickly added, “Of course, there might be some misunderstanding, but I still want to give you a heads-up.”

This matter was about the face of the Leopold Family, and Joel Martin had to tread carefully. If the Leopold Family felt humiliated, they would inevitably seek revenge.

“Shut your fucking mouth! I’ll do whatever the hell I want, who are you to interfere?”

Elize Yarrow stood up from her chair, holding a cup of hot tea, and approached Joel Martin.

“What are you doing!”

Seeing her coming at him aggressively, Joel Martin stepped back in fear.

Brayden Leopold was right in front of him, so he dared not raise his hand to Elize Yarrow.

Whoosh!

Elize Yarrow forcefully splashed the scalding hot tea right onto his face.

“To tell you the truth, I am involved with Julius Reed, what can you do about it?”

Elize Yarrow, with her hands on her hips, stood in front of Joel Martin: “I’ll do what I want. What do you count for, daring to meddle in my affairs?”

Everyone was stunned.

They hadn’t expected Elize Yarrow to admit it so boldly, and with no regard for Brayden Leopold’s presence.

This was an insult to the Leopold Family!

“What… what did you say?”

Joel Martin, not bothering to wipe the tea off his face, blinked and said excitedly, “You admitted it?”

Brayden Leopold was right beside him, and Elize Yarrow’s comment was akin to dragging Julius Reed down with her. A prideful family would never tolerate such a scandal.

He seemed to already see the tribulations that Julius Reed was about to face.

“What do you mean ‘I admitted it’?”

Elize Yarrow was never easy to deal with, and now backed by Julius Reed, she had become even more defiant: “I never denied it, for your information.”

“Young Master Leopold, you heard it all. These two…”

Bang!

Atlas Leopold stood up in one swift motion, kicking Joel Martin and knocking him to the ground.

“Young Master Leopold, you got the wrong person!”

Joel Martin scrabbled up from the ground, pointing at Elize Yarrow and Julius Reed: “They are the ones you should deal with! They… They are the ones sullying the Leopold Family’s name!”

“I only said she was my sister-in-law. Did I mention who my brother was?”

Atlas Leopold, with a grim face, walked over to Joel Martin, pulled over a chair and sat down.

“You dare to insult my sister-in-law, today’s matter won’t be so simple.”
