The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1136-1140

Chapter 1136

The Webb family suffered fifteen casualties; Don Albertt and Liam's combined forces lost four. Fortunately, Charlie Wade's timely warning a few days prior prompted them to reinforce Golim Mountain. Otherwise, they would have been no match for the dozen attackers.

The terrified Weaver father and son were captured in the snow by Don Albertt's younger brother, Myles Crane, Golim Mountain's commander. Crane, his face grim, coldly addressed the frightened pair: "Do you really think you can escape?"

Jordan pleaded, "Mr. Crane, we didn't want to escape. Those men forced us to leave."

Crane roared, "Don't play dumb with me! I know what you were planning. As long as I'm alive, you and your son will never leave Golim Mountain!"

Jordan quickly nodded, saying respectfully, "Mr. Crane, we never wanted to leave. We're committed to Golim Mountain and are ready to retire here."

Barena Weaver also nodded eagerly, "Yes, Mr. Crane, my father's right. We've grown to love this land."

Crane then violently attacked the father and son, yelling, "Because of you two, I lost four men! I'll break your legs and make you crawl the mountain for ginseng!"

The brutally beaten father and son were barely alive when they were dragged to a dilapidated house.

Meanwhile, Donald Webb awaited news of Golim Mountain's victory, impatiently smoking a cigar. He believed the matter should be resolved before he finished it. The Eight Heavenly Kings' defiance didn't deter him; he could easily replace them. He mused, "Master doesn't need you to do anything!" His phone then rang.

Donald answered, blurting out, "What's the report? Did you rescue the father and son?"

A weeping voice replied, "Mr. Webb, we were ambushed. Everyone's dead. Only I escaped!"

"What?!" Donald roared, "Sixteen men couldn't bring back two useless people?!"

The man sobbed, explaining that the enemy outnumbered them and was prepared for an ambush. They were attacked while returning with the Weavers. He added, "Golim Mountain is isolated; visitors are rare. We were likely watched from the moment we entered." He concluded, "Only someone like the Eight Heavenly Kings could succeed; we were simply outmatched."

Donald furiously threw his cigar to the ground. Sixteen men, fifteen dead—tens of millions of dollars lost. He regretted his actions. Then, his brother Thomas rushed in, excitedly shouting, "Brother, Dad's awake!"

Donald felt conflicting emotions: joy at his father's awakening, and guilt over the needless deaths. He resolved to tell his father that the Eight Heavenly Kings could depart for Golim Mountain tomorrow. He sighed and rose, saying, "Let's go see Dad!"

Chapter 1137

Mr. Webb was a self-made man, a titan of Southaven. His sharp mind built the Webb family into the leading family in Southern Yangtze. However, age and illness had taken their toll. Since his semi-retirement, the family had declined rapidly.

The downfall began with his second grandson's mysterious illness. This was followed by his eldest son and grandson's humiliation in Aurouss Hill, culminating in a viral video mocking the Webb family. Successive blows worsened his health, but this was only the beginning.

The most damaging blow was the revelation of the Webb family's ties to a notorious gang. This scandal destroyed their reputation, leading to Mr. Webb's stroke and days-long coma.

He awoke, but physically and mentally debilitated. His sons, children, and grandchildren rushed to his ward, shocked by his frail state. He looked like a dying man.

Donald whispered, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Mr. Webb glared at Donald, taking ragged breaths before slurring, "You prodigal son! Look at your wife, your brother-in-law! They've ruined the Webb family!"

Donald shamefully apologized, but Mr. Webb stammered, "Sorry? I spent my life building this familyand you…sorry…what good is that?" He then violently coughed.

Donald tried to comfort him, but Mr. Webb pushed him away, coldly stating, "I've faced countless enemies in business, but I never expected to be defeated by my own son…"

Donald, filled with shame and regret, had loved his wife Xenia, but she had delivered a devastating blow.

Chapter 1138

Donald wished he could destroy Xenia's brother, but regret was futile. Mr. Webb coldly asked, "Where's Xenia?"

Donald replied, "Dad, she's been in her room, crying."

Mr. Webb gritted his teeth, "Crying? Why hasn't she left? Does she need to see the Webb family destroyed before she acts?"

Donald tried to defend Xenia, blaming her brother, but Mr. Webb slapped him. He raged, "A man breaks, he suffers the consequences! I built the Webb family, being decisive in my actions, and firm in retreat. You lack the courage to cut losses. Your indecisiveness has harmed the entire family!"

Donald argued that removing Xenia would damage his reputation, but Mr. Webb retorted, "Do you think keeping her will save your reputation? Everyone knows Marcone is your brother-in-law and his gang was your support. Now he's dead, and you keep her—the world will condemn you!"

Donald was stunned, realizing the depth of his mistake. He was no match for his father's strategic thinking. He felt cold sweat as he understood the disastrous repercussions of keeping Xenia. He vowed to rectify the situation.

Mr. Webb, after a long sigh, asked about recent events. Donald recounted everything, including the losses at Golim Mountain. Mr. Webb's face turned pale. He asked incredulously, "Over twenty people killed twice, over a couple of ginseng collectors at Golim Mountain?!"

Chapter 1139

Donald, ashamed, finally understood his mistakes. His strategy was sound—unite with enemies of his enemies—but his execution was flawed. He'd acted rashly, disrupting his plans. The enemy wouldn't disappear, nor would allies die, by delaying action. He'd needlessly sacrificed over twenty lives. He should have waited for his father to wake up and deploy the Eight Heavenly Kings.

He confessed his mistakes, accepting his father's criticism. Mr. Webb pointed out that the first attempt was the easiest, and his underestimation of the enemy led to increased vigilance and a harder second attempt. Now, the Eight Heavenly Kings' victory was far from guaranteed.

Donald insisted on the Eight Heavenly Kings' strength, but Mr. Webb cautioned, "Who gave you that confidence? The Eight Heavenly Kings are strong, but not the strongest. They are not even mid-tier among true warriors."

Donald was shocked, but Mr. Webb explained that the true top warriors served China's elite families, possessing unbelievable power. Donald argued that the Aurouss Hill youth was merely a local fraud and that the Eight Heavenly Kings would easily prevail.

Mr. Webb pressed him to be thorough and pointed out that any oversight could endanger the Eight Heavenly Kings, the Webb family's greatest asset. Donald remained confident in their victory.

Chapter 1140

Mr. Webb nodded, deciding to send the Eight Heavenly Kings to Golim Mountain immediately via private jet. Donald was surprised at the urgency, but Mr. Webb explained that the enemy would be unsuspecting, believing the next attack wouldn't be soon. A surprise attack would ensure success.

Donald felt ashamed at his own shortsightedness. He arranged for a private jet, while Mr. Webb contacted Duran, the leader of the Eight Heavenly Kings. They had a long-standing relationship, built on mutual respect.

Duran, a seasoned warrior, pledged to bring back the Weavers, kill the opposition, and return victorious. Mr. Webb instructed Donald to purchase the finest local wine for Duran. Duran expressed gratitude, emphasizing his loyalty to the Webb family.

The Eight Heavenly Kings departed for Golim Mountain, dressed for a vacation but prepared for a deadly mission. Duran, before reaching the airport, addressed his team, vowing to succeed and leave no survivors. They would show no mercy in Golim Mountain.
