Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Don’t Be a Hypocrite_1

Aron Jackson had weathered many storms, but at this moment even he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

He wasn’t familiar with Bane Cook, but he had heard of the other man’s name.

Today, upon meeting him, he realized that this man was even more ruthless than he had imagined.

As for Julius Reed, he didn’t feel much of anything.

Traitors generally met with very miserable fates.

Titan Group spent a huge budget to sustain them every year, and yet they ended up stabbing them in the back, helping outsiders kill their own bread and butter. Such people deserved to die.

“Going to talk or not?”

Bane Cook, holding Winston Pendleton’s head in one hand, asked emotionlessly.

In his other hand, a knife was still dripping with fresh blood.

“Heh! Bane Cook, I’m a man too. Since I took the money, I was prepared to meet death! Come on, don’t fucking make me look down on you!”

Winston Pendleton’s face was pale, his clothes already soaked with blood.

Having lost both ears, and with an eye gone, there was no point in living.

Originally, as long as Julius Reed was willing to let him live, he could have revealed some secrets.

Who would have thought that Bane Cook would be so fierce right from the start, pushing him towards a dead end?

“Someone, bring the salt!”

Seeing that Winston Pendleton was still being defiant, Bane Cook extended a hand, and from inside his off-road vehicle, a man immediately stepped out, holding a bag of salt.

“People say that pouring salt on a wound hurts; I want to see if your, Mr. Bread’s, bones are tougher, or if my, Bane Cook’s, knives are blunter!”

Having said that, he sprinkled salt on the open stub of Winston Pendleton’s ear.

“Hiss…”

Winston Pendleton clenched his teeth tightly, cracking sounds emanating as his entire body sweated profusely, shaking like a sieve.

“Bane Cook, you won’t die a good death!”

He screamed desperately, but it was in vain.

“Even if you were made of steel and iron, I’d shatter you to pieces today!”

Bane Cook threw the salt aside and took out a bottle of mustard oil from his pocket.

“Going to talk or not, Mr Bread? Don’t blame a brother for not showing you mercy.”

As he spoke, he dripped a few drops onto the wound.

Thump!

Winston Pendleton’s eyes rolled back as he fainted from the pain.

“Wake him up!”

Bane Cook walked past the body to another car and pulled out two children from inside.

Whoosh!

With a bucket of water poured on him, Winston Pendleton shivered and weakly opened his eyes.

If it were not for his strong physique, he would have likely been tortured to death by now.

“Luka, Betty!”

Upon seeing the two children, Winston Pendleton’s body shook, and then he shouted venomously, “Bane Cook, calamities should not involve family! Why did you bring my children here!”

“Sorry! I heard your kids went abroad last month; it took quite an effort to get them back from there.”

Bane Cook squatted down to pat the two children’s heads, speaking with a face full of affection, “With such changes at the high level of Titan Group, as the person responsible, I absolutely can’t ignore it! If you prove to be innocent, naturally, I will let the children go. But unfortunately, you are a traitor.”

“You’ve suspected me all along?”

Winston Pendleton’s mouth twitched continuously, and he was also somewhat mentally fractured.

“Not at all!”

Bane Cook shook his head, “Even if it were Ovidiu Cook trying to move his relatives, I would still bring them back! It’s my responsibility, and I can’t afford any negligence.”

He touched the children’s heads and whispered softly, “Quickly, call daddy!”

“Daddy!”

Two little girls around the age of four looked at Winston Pendleton, calling out.

This ‘Daddy’ completely broke through Winston Pendleton’s psychological defense.

“Children are innocent, I tell you.”

Winston Pendleton closed his eyes, speaking in extreme agony, “Three months ago, a senior came to Five-river Province, handed me fifty million directly, and asked me to do something for them. I wanted to refuse at that time, but they promised me, once it was done, at least ten billion!”

Having said this, he looked at Julius Reed with bitterness, “I couldn’t resist the temptation and betrayed you, boss. Then, he told me the whole plan, how I was to use my job’s convenience to ensure absolute fatal outcomes, then I agreed.”

“Ten billion? Not a small amount, I would have done the same,”

Julius Reed nodded, the other party really was willing to spend money.

However, Ovidiu Cook was a real bastard, having the ordeal occur right under his nose without detecting a thing.

It was Bane Cook who at least managed to control Winston Pendleton’s family.

“I couldn’t see the person’s face very clearly, but he was around forty years old and very rich. The most important point, he’s a local from Five-river Province,”

At this point, Winston Pendleton swallowed his saliva, pleading, “That’s really all I know, please, let the children go.”

“Mr. Bread, I’m asking you one last time, are you sure you haven’t hidden anything?”

Bane Cook crouched on the ground, staring fixedly at Winston Pendleton.

“I dare not hide a single thing! I have told you everything, I haven’t lied to you at all!”

Winston Pendleton nodded hastily, “After you kill me, I only ask you to treat my children well. I have done things I shouldn’t have while alive, I have no regrets in death!”

“Very good!”

Suddenly, Bane Cook cracked a smile, but this smile sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Thwack!

He suddenly drew his knife and plunged it directly into a child’s heart.

“No!”

Winston Pendleton’s eyes split with fury, trying to struggle and rush over, but he was firmly held down.

“Mr. Bread, I gave you your chance. Clearly, you didn’t cherish it.”

Bane Cook pushed the child away and walked behind the other little girl, “You tell me the children are innocent? Isn’t the boss’s life innocent? Your sister-in-law was also attacked, only your daughter’s life is precious, and theirs are not?”

“Don’t be hypocritical!”

“I say!”

Winston Pendleton took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, “The person who approached me is Fabio Pendleton, originally planning to leave Five-river Province tonight. But since the boss isn’t dead, I reckon he might leave earlier once he gets the news. He’s at the Titan Group’s Azure Wind Hotel, room 607.”

“That’s more like it!”

Bane Cook twirling his dagger, slowly approached Winston Pendleton, “Actually, I didn’t know this, it was just speculation that you might be hiding something. But I didn’t expect I’d actually be right.”

“You…”

Thwack!

Winston Pendleton’s eyes widened, just as he was about to speak, a knife pierced through his heart.

“Boss, I’ll go catch him.”

After pulling out the knife, Bane Cook wiped the blood off it.

“Aron Jackson, you go with him, I’m going back to check on your sister-in-law. Get back to me with results immediately after the interrogation,”

Julius Reed turned and walked to a sedan, started the engine, ready to head home.

Quella Radcliffe having been attacked, despite nothing serious happening, was still something he couldn’t let go of.

“Boss, I don’t want to work with him.”

Aron Jackson walked helplessly in front of Julius Reed, shrugging, “That guy is too ruthless, his employees have no sense of security.”

“Aron Jackson, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

Bane Cook was unapologetic, wrapping an arm around Aron Jackson, laughing loudly, “Come on, let’s finish the job, then drink a few!”

And his hand smeared blood directly on Aron Jackson’s clothes.

“Fabio Pendleton, ah! I truly feel sad for you!”

Thinking about the torture Fabio Pendleton was going to face, Aron Jackson sighed deeply.
