<h4>Chapter 1739: Chapter 1739: Chaos</h4>
This straightforwardness was expected by Julius Reed.
Among the four, Grace River dared to love and hate, and with her dual identity as a member of the royal lineage and a princess of Mont, she possessed a strong will.
If she had done it.
It was impossible to deny.
"Why?" Julius Reed, though prepared in his heart, still felt a wave of emotion upon hearing Grace River confess it.
"Because I like you." Grace River, usually stern and dignified, at this moment seemed like a little girl, smiling as she spoke.
"Be serious." Julius Reed chided lightly but couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.
He recalled how she had traveled a great distance to Town to save him, only to be captured by Andrew and endure torment.
He felt nothing but heartache for her.
Julius Reed always believed he wouldn’t misjudge people.
Even though these four had done things that harmed him.
"I’m serious." Grace River’s tone became more earnest, yet she repeated, "Because I like you."
"You liking me, what does that have to do with the North Sea’s attack on Demarco Mount!" Julius Reed always felt powerless in such matters.
If it came to actual fighting, he could take on a group!
But arguing verbally, not at all.
"I wanted to kill Isabe Warm and Lillian Thompson!" Grace River said with a hint of pride in her tone, "I’m royalty! I don’t want to share my man with others."
Only when she said this did that air of arrogance fully manifest.
"You said I’m one of your favorite people. But I don’t want to be one of; I want to be the only one. Even if it’s incredibly difficult."
"I never said that..." Julius Reed scratched his head.
Even someone as strong as the lord of saints had awkward moments.
"You did." Grace River snorted lightly, "But I pretended not to hear. Lord of Saints, I’m a Vein Holder of the royal lineage; my hearing is excellent."
"That’s true." Julius Reed smiled awkwardly.
Those words ’one of’ were spoken very softly.
But Grace River must have heard them for real.
But the key!
He was asking about the North Sea rebellion!
"Let’s not talk about the past. Be honest with me, what does the North Sea rebellion have to do with you!" Julius Reed regretted making this call very much.
Being a man, perhaps he was too naive.
He always found it a bit difficult dealing with women.
"I am a Vein Holder of the royal lineage and canmand the other six veins. Night Fairy of the Night Vein was sent to the North Sea by me. Originally, the n was to rece the King of the North Sea. You know, the Night Vein can impersonate anyone."
When Grace River spoke about this matter, her tone suddenly became serious, losing the tenderness from before and without any coquettishness.
"But things have changed. Looking back now, Kyler Reed must have betrayed me. It’s highly likely that Kyler Reed and Isabe Warm got together and put on a good show with Everton Davenport. On the surface, it seemed like Everton Davenport was reced by Kyler Reed. After taking Demarco Mount, they would then kill Lillian Thompson and Isabe Warm."
"But. That was all a fa?ade. Once the North Sea rebels entered Demarco Mount, Everton Davenport would chop off my head without hesitation. But what puzzles me is, why would Everton Davenport listen to Isabe Warm?"
After Grace River finished speaking, she remained silent.
She knew this matter led to Ian Jorden’s death.
Even resulted in the destruction of the North Sea nation.
This was deception.
If Julius Reed were still the Lord of Saints, it would be treason.
ording to Demarco Mount’sw, she deserved death.
"Do you know the identity of Lillian Thompson?" Julius Reed asked a different question.
"Lillian Thompson? She’s bad news. If I’m not mistaken, she should be mixed up with Isabe Warm." Grace River’s tone carried disdain.
There wasn’t much to say about a rival in love.
"She’s the Holy Maiden of the Ghost Martial Tribe." Julius Reed paused for a moment before speaking, "And I just learned that King of the North Sea, Everton Davenport, even had to listen to this Holy Maiden. In other words, the North Sea rebellion was likely Lillian Thompson’s final decision."
He trusted Grace River.
So there was no need to hide anything.
As he put down the phone, silence enveloped them.
For a long time.
Grace River spoke softly, "I underestimated them."
Who would’ve thought that a woman with the least presence would orchestrate the most severe crisis Demarco Mount had ever faced?
The rebels had actually reached the pce gates.
"If this is true, then I was entirely deceived." Grace River’s tone carried a trace of bitterness, "It seems that Isabe Warm might have also been deceived."
Among the four, Lillian Thompson was the most underestimated, yet she did the most ruthless thing.
"You want to kill Lillian Thompson and Isabe Warm, but Lillian Thompson seems to want to kill the three of you." Julius Reed said helplessly. "Why don’t you kill Eliezer Pine?"
"Because Eliezer Pine has someone she loves. And that person isn’t you." Grace River finished speaking and suddenly asked, "How do you know Lillian Thompson wants to kill the three of us? Eliezer Pine having someone she loves was something the three of us discovered together. Though, that person is dead."
"I have a theory." Julius Reed took a deep breath and spoke, "If you think Lillian Thompson is in love with me, then her wanting to kill the two of you is entirely understandable. But if she were to kill Eliezer Pine, there would only be one reason."
"Lord of Saints, how do you deduce she wants to kill Eliezer Pine?"
This was Grace River’s greatest confusion.
There was no evidence to indicate Lillian Thompson wanted to kill Eliezer Pine.
In fact, before understanding Eliezer Pine’s ambitious nature, they almost treated her like a sister.
And Eliezer Pine herself was detached from worldly affairs.
"If Lillian Thompson wasn’t nning to kill Eliezer Pine, then why did Eliezer Pine, until the army was at the gates, rush for help, risking danger? As far as I know, Eliezer Pine was lurking by my side for revenge. The person she loved died at my hands."
Julius Reed never imagined howplex things would be!
Eliezer Pine turned out to be enor Wood’s fiancée!
Back then, enor Wood chose topete with Julius Reed in the Medicine King Valley for Eliezer Pine!
After enor Wood’s death, Eliezer Pine began plotting her revenge!
But in the end.
Julius Reed and enor Wood ended up as friends.
The greatest irony in the world, wasn’t it?
"Lillian Thompson must have discovered Eliezer Pine’s secret, and knowing Eliezer Pine intended to harm me, she thought to kill her. But for personal emotions, a dignified Holy Maiden of the Ghost Martial Tribe, a woman who was such a deep infiltrator, couldn’t possibly do this. Most likely, it was incidental."
As Julius Reed pondered, connecting what he knew of Preston Caldwell and Baylor Davenport.
Another suspicion arose in his heart.
"There must be something in Demarco Mount that the Ghost Martial Tribe wants. But what could it be to require such arge-scale action from the Ghost Martial Tribe?"
After speaking, he fell into deep thought again.
"What Isabe Warm transferred back then seemed to be..." Grace River’s voice lowered significantly. "It was the Divine Dragon Tripod. Even Ian Jorden’s fake death was also rted to taking the Divine Dragon Tripod to Swimming City. These are things we found outter. If you can find out why Isabe Warm did this, the mystery might be solved."
"Ha..." Julius Reed gave an awkwardugh. "It’s gettingte; you should rest."
Not long ago, he had just handed the real Divine Dragon Tripod to Isabe Warm through Terry Moore.
"Pearl, don’t let me down!"
Julius Reed hung up the phone and looked at the night sky.
But suddenly!
His expression changed slightly.
The snow had unknowingly turned red.
