Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 2711

Chapter 2711: Chapter 2711: High Technology

“Golden Cicada.”

In a spacious underground palace.

Silvio Reed sat on the bed with a small table in front of him.

And on the table, there was a chess game.

Opposite him was Golden Cicada, along with a cup of tea.

“Tell me, what is the most important thing in life?”

Silvio Reed lifted a chess piece and spoke indifferently.

“The most important thing in life is life itself. Without life, everything else is meaningless.” Golden Cicada replied.

After speaking, he picked up a chess piece, hesitating before making his move.

“Such a thought, to put it nicely, is called ‘clinging to life and fearing death.’” Silvio Reed put away the chess piece, took a sip of tea, and continued, “To put it bluntly, it’s called ‘fool’. A man who will do anything for life is most likely to become a traitor.”

“So, have you betrayed me?” As soon as Silvio Reed finished speaking, the chess piece in Golden Cicada’s hand dropped to the ground instantly.

“No, I, Golden Cicada, work in intelligence. It’s normal to be cautious. What I just said was only to serve you better, Master Silvio. If you want me dead, I will die.”

Golden Cicada stood up and bowed deeply to Silvio Reed.

“Good. I also want to see whether you, Golden Cicada, who has followed me for so long, are truly loyal.”

Silvio Reed pulled a knife from under the table and threw it to Golden Cicada, “Let me see if you dare to die. But let me say first, I won’t stop you.”

Looking at the knife, Golden Cicada didn’t pick it up but instead asked, “What happened to make you want to kill me, Master Silvio? Do you suspect me?”

“I’ve been loyal to you for so many years, and you owe me a reason. It’s not too much to ask, is it?”

He took the knife but didn’t act, continuously looking at Silvio Reed.

His heart began to panic.

“It’s nothing, I just want to know if the person I trust the most is truly as loyal as they claim.”

Silvio Reed waved his hand, “Do it. After you die, I will arrange a tomb for you.”

“Since you want me dead, then I, Golden Cicada, can only die.”

Golden Cicada, without hesitation, directly exerted force and aimed the knife at his own chest, stabbing down!

Clang!

A streak of spiritual power flashed, knocking away his dagger.

“I’m joking,” Silvio Reed said, lifting his teacup, “If you die, where will I find such a loyal person?”

“Master Silvio, didn’t you say you wouldn’t stop me?” Golden Cicada stood there, drenched in sweat.

As if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

“I did say that, but I also said that I need a loyal person. If you dare to die, why can’t I let you live?”

Silvio Reed got down from the bed, walked to Golden Cicada, and placed both hands on his shoulders, “Alright, now let’s go outside for a walk. I hear there are a lot of new things happening out there.”

“Alright.” Golden Cicada wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed Silvio Reed.

He was gambling too.

Because if he resisted, he would surely die!

If he obediently went to die, he might still live.

Golden Cicada gambled correctly.

But next time, he might not be so lucky.

Golden Cicada was thinking about how to solve this once and for all.

The two left the underground palace, and as soon as they reached the ground, they noticed that the clouds in the sky had increased.

The sunlight disappeared, plunging everything into darkness.

“What’s going on?”

Golden Cicada looked up. It was supposed to be sunny today.

How did it suddenly become overcast?

“Someone’s here, someone powerful.” Silvio Reed closed his eyes, felt the surrounding environment, and then spoke calmly.

“What?” Golden Cicada was taken aback.

This frightened him greatly.

Were there actually people this powerful in the world?

Capable of changing the weather?

“I don’t know which expert has come here, and I ask you to show yourself.”

Julius Reed shouted loudly into the surrounding empty space.

“Indeed, a formidable hero!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man and a young man seemed to appear out of nowhere and walked towards Silvio Reed.

It was Saul King and Greek Dream.

“Be careful!”

Seeing such formidable opponents, Golden Cicada hurriedly stood in front of Silvio Reed.

“Stand back. Against such opponents, you don’t stand a chance.” Silvio Reed pushed Golden Cicada aside and looked at Saul King, “May I ask who you are?”

“My master is the King of the Nine Provinces, Saul King!” Greek Dream sneered, his voice filled with contempt and pride, “Among those awakened, my master’s skills are top-tier.”

“So it is the esteemed Saul King.” Silvio Reed quickly thought.

Although he hadn’t appeared outside during this time, Silvio Reed had not given up on gathering intelligence.

Almost daily, the latest information from the martial arts world was delivered to him.

Looking at the information, Silvio Reed was uneasy.

He hadn’t expected so many people to choose to slumber, waiting for the crown to appear before awakening.

Now, he had encountered one.

An elderly man claiming to be the King of the Nine Provinces stood before them.

“Silvio Reed, you surprise me a little.” Saul King saw Silvio Reed’s ingratiating attitude, his expression slightly changing, “Do you intend to kill me?”

“You are a guest from afar, how could I, Silvio Reed, harm you?” Silvio Reed observed briefly and found the old and young in front of him to be extremely strong.

Almost invincible.

“Well said! Silvio Reed, I thought you were a madman, but you’re not mad, you’re just confident.”

Saul King felt pleased by the compliments.

Before coming, he had even guessed if this Silvio Reed would turn against him and start a fight.

For this reason, Greek Dream had prepared a second plan.

And that was for the two to start fighting.

It now seemed a bit unnecessary.

“You know I’m Silvio Reed?” Silvio Reed pointed at himself, somewhat surprised.

Although he had gathered a lot of intelligence, the matter of Julius Reed impersonating Silvio Reed had not yet reached him.

Silvio Reed himself didn’t know there were people outside impersonating him.

“Who doesn’t know your name, Silvio Reed, by now?” Saul King stepped forward, directly arriving in front of Silvio Reed.

This kind of distance, this kind of speed, this kind of martial strength!

Absolutely a top-tier expert!

Silvio Reed was shocked inwardly but didn’t show it.

“I want to cooperate with you.” Saul King got straight to the point, “You have offended many people, haven’t you?”

“Indeed, I, Silvio Reed, have many enemies, and countless people want to kill me.”

Silvio Reed nodded, it seemed the other party had done some research on him before coming.

Thinking of this, he queried, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Naturally, I have important matters. Do you have some modern methods?” Saul King pointed at the clothes on Silvio Reed and asked, “The so-called technology you refer to?”

He scrutinized carefully and realized that the Silvio Reed in front of him was not at an imperial level.

Yet, such a not-so-strong person had managed to kill three imperial-level experts in succession, including the North Palace King!

Incredible.

“Technology? Of course.” Silvio Reed nodded, “What do you intend to do?”

“To kill,” Saul King said calmly.

Upon hearing these two words, Golden Cicada’s face changed instantly.
