The Legendary Man novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Not Worthy Enough

Harrison Seymour? Why would he show up here all of a sudden?

Everyone in the venue shared the same thought.

Hugo, especially, could not hide his confusion at the announcement. The Smith family had no connections with Harrison. Besides, he did not extend an invitation to the man.

“Hurry, welcome him!” Despite being taken aback by Harrison’s sudden arrival, he quickly barked an urgent order.

Even if Harrison had arrived without an invitation, he was not to be trifled with. After all, his reputation in Jadeborough was on the crest of a wave.

Since taking over the Blackwood family’s business, which used to be one of the four most prominent families, Harrison had emerged to be the most influential person in both the official and underground circles of Jadeborough.

Even those from the other three prominent families had to back down at the sight of him.

Harrison showed up in a black outfit, striding into the venue with at least a dozen subordinates dressed in black suits with gifts in their hands.

“Mr. Seymour!” Hugo went up to greet him humbly, addressing him by his title instead of his name despite being his elder.

 

“Ah, no need for the formalities, Old Mr. Smith.” Harrison nearly jumped in fright at his greeting.

After all, Hugo was Josephine’s grandfather, and Josephine was Jonathan’s wife!

Technically, Hugo would also be considered as Jonathan’s grandfather. Therefore, there was no way Harrison would allow Hugo to address him politely.

“Oh, it’s all right, Mr. Seymour.” Hugo was stunned for a second, taken aback by Harrison’s politeness. “Come on in!” he quickly offered after coming back to his senses.

“I prepared some gifts after finding out it’s the Smith family’s annual party today. I hope you like them!” Harrison said in a courteous manner. When everyone else saw how humble he was before Hugo, their eyes widened in shock.

Is this Harrison Seymour, the most barbarous man in Jadeborough? Are our eyes tricking us?

“Oh, you shouldn’t have come bearing gifts,” said Hugo with a grin. He gestured for the help to take the gifts before ushering Harrison to a seat right beside Randall.

Upon seeing Randall, Harrison approached him. “You’re here too, Mr. Swindell!”

“Mm!” Randall grunted and inclined his head in acknowledgment.

His attitude was impassive.

As the mayor of Jadeborough, he did not bother being amicable to Harrison, who was part of the underground circles.

Harrison had expected his reaction. Instead of feeling indignant, he swept his gaze around the venue. As soon as he spotted Jonathan, he strode over to give the latter a polite greeting. “Mr. Goldstein!”

“Mm,” Jonathan answered with a nod. “Go back to your seat!”

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Harrison answered obediently, as though he was a student who feared his strict disciplinary teacher.

Everyone present gasped in disbelief at the astonishing sight.

Even Harrison is submissive before Jonathan!

At that moment, they could not help but wonder about Jonathan’s identity.

The Smiths’ faces fell at that sight.

Another person came because of Jonathan. No wonder Harrison showed up at our annual party, even though we weren’t connected to him in any way. There was only one reason—he came here for Jonathan’s sake!

“Jonathan, do you want to join them?” Hugo swallowed his pride and extended an invitation to Jonathan.

He had no choice, for even a fool would have realized by then that Jonathan was a big shot.
