Chapter 504 Victor
Larry left the Bennett Manor.
But he was in no hurry to rush back to Sunset City.
This trip to claim the fortune Alden left behind had been ruined by Megan. With the funds Alden provided, it wasn't enough to fight against VitaGen Medical.
He needed to find King and ask him for money.
He went straight to the Golden Sun Palace.
Outside the Golden Sun Palace, there were warriors standing guard.
As soon as Larry appeared, a warrior walked over, stood at attention, saluted, and called out: "Greetings, Dragon King."
"Mm." Larry nodded and said, "I'm here to see King."
"Dragon King, King is not in Aurora Citadel. He's on a state visit abroad."
Hearing this, Larry frowned and asked, "Is Shadow here?"
The warrior looked puzzled and asked, "Who's Shadow?"
"Forget it, pretend I was never here."
Larry turned and walked away.
Shadow was King's personal bodyguard. Very few people knew about Shadow. Even the guards at the Golden Sun Palace didn't know of Shadow's existence.
Larry had just come to ask King for some money, but now he couldn't even see him.
Now he really didn't know where to get money.
There were plenty of ways to make money through shady channels, but through legitimate channels, he had no options.
Last time Shadow had told him he could use some improper means to gather funds in preparation for the new King's rise to power.
He left deep in thought.
Planning to go to the military district and take their special plane back to Sunset City.
Just as he reached the gate of the military district, before he could enter, some military vehicles drove up. Many fully armed soldiers quickly jumped out of the vehicles, pointing guns at Larry and blocking his way.
Then, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with three stars on his shoulders walked over.
Larry looked at the approaching general and couldn't help but frown.
"Larry, please come with us." The three-star general walked over, looked at Larry, and spoke coldly.
Larry stared at the man.
In his memory, there was no such three-star general in Aurora Citadel. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man spoke: "Western Territory, under Free's command, Sawyer Rivera."
"Free Army?"
Larry was stunned, then laughed and said, "You're just a three-star general, bringing people with guns to point at me and block my way. What's this supposed to mean? Don't you know that I currently hold a ten-star rank and am the Dragon King?"
As he spoke, Larry's expression darkened and he roared, "Who gave you the authority?"
"Larry, don't pull rank on me."
Sawyer didn't give Larry any face at all, saying coldly, "Someone wants to see you. You'd better come with me. Otherwise, if Mr. Rivera gets angry, the consequences will be severe. No one can protect you, not even the Bennett family. I'm telling you straight."
Hearing this, Larry frowned.
He probably already knew who Sawyer was talking about.
This must be the heir of the Western Territory Rivera family, and also the person in the arranged marriage with Paisley.
"Fine."
Larry thought for a moment and nodded.
"Please." Sawyer made a gesture of invitation.
Larry followed behind him.
He got into the military vehicle.
The vehicle quickly started up, left the area, and headed toward the suburbs.
After driving for about two hours, they arrived in front of a manor.
Sawyer got out of the car first, opened the door, looked at Larry, and said coldly, "We're here, get out."
"By the way, as part of the Western Territory Free Army, instead of guarding the Western Territory border, what are you doing in Aurora Citadel?" Larry looked at the arrogant Sawyer and couldn't help saying, "Although Southwild and Western Territory have nothing to do with each other, you've left your post without the commander's orders. If I report you, you'll end up in military court."
"Free?"
Sawyer looked disdainful and said, "He's just a dog of the Rivera family. He only got to sit in the position of Western Territory Free Army commander because the family promoted him. If the family wants to remove him, it's a matter of minutes."
Hearing this, Larry said nothing more.
From these words he understood Free's status in the Rivera family.
He looked at the manor ahead. Without thinking much, he walked straight in.
In the courtyard.
There was a rest area.
Here there was a wooden table.
A man and a woman sat together, chatting and laughing.
The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hair and straight bangs. Her fair face still carried a trace of youthfulness and naivety.
The man was in his early twenties, wearing a loose white robe, with long hair that reached his shoulders.
Larry recognized the woman.
It was Megan.
He was slightly stunned, then walked over and sat down nearby. Looking at Megan, he smiled and said, "Ms. Ward, we meet again."
Megan glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. I thought you'd spend a few more days with Paisley at White Mountain."
Larry smiled faintly.
Looking at the man in the white robe, he said, "This must be the heir of the Rivera family, right?"
Megan smiled and introduced him: "Let me introduce you. Victor, heir of the Rivera family and future head of the Rivera family. Despite his young age, he's already a fourth-realm master. He's destined to become the world's number one in the future."
While introducing him, Megan also praised him lavishly.
Fourth realm?
Larry couldn't help but take another look at Victor. He was holding his phone, looking at it seriously.
He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, a few years younger than him, yet he already had fourth-realm strength?
No wonder Free said the Rivera family was comparable to the Four Ancient Families.
Victor was holding his phone, looking through some photos. He looked up at Larry and said flatly, "So you're Larry, the one who had sex with Paisley?"
Larry frowned. He wanted to explain.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary.
Since Victor was with Megan, he definitely wouldn't believe him.
Maybe Greg had already won over the Rivera family.
"Yes, I'm Larry. As for what you said about having sex with Paisley, I can't explain this matter. Even if I explain, you won't believe me."
Victor said coldly, "Do you know that the Rivera family is about to form a marriage alliance with the Bennett family? This matter has already spread throughout the ancient martial arts world. Now you've had sex with Paisley. Isn't this embarrassing the Rivera family? Isn't this slapping the Rivera family in the face?"
He suddenly slapped his palm on the table.
The wooden table in front of him instantly split into pieces.
Megan immediately tried to calm him: "Mr. Rivera, don't be angry. Let's talk things through. Paisley isn't worth getting angry over."
Her words didn't help.
Once she spoke, Victor's expression became even darker.
Now everyone in the ancient martial arts world knew that the Bennett family and the Rivera family were about to form a marriage alliance, that Paisley from the Bennett family was going to marry him. Now these photos had spread.
How could he still face people?
How could the Rivera family still have face in the ancient martial arts world?
Larry sat nearby, calm and composed, his expression peaceful. "Victor, don't let some people drive a wedge between the Bennett family and the Rivera family."
"Do I need you to tell me what to do?"
Victor flew into a rage and roared, "Larry, you've made the Rivera family lose all face. If you don't die, the Rivera family can't stand in the ancient martial arts world. For Cody's sake, I'll spare your life for now."
"Take him down, bring him back to the Western Territory Rivera family, and have Cody personally bring Paisley to apologize."
With Victor's loud shout.
Larry only heard a sound of wind by his ear.
Before he could react, he was instantly restrained and lost the ability to move.
