The Legendary Man novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Who Is Kissing You

“Sure, sure!”

Shuddering in fear, Hugo hastily took the gift with both hands.

He acted so reverently that it was as though he was meeting the king himself. In reality, Zachary was indeed the supreme ruler in Jazona.

Even the governor of Jazona, Kingstone, had to show him respect upon meeting him.

“Why don’t you all sit down and have some refreshments after such a long journey, officers?” Hugo took the initiative to invite Andrew and the others to dine with them after taking the gift.

After all, they were acting on orders from the King of War.

In other words, they represented Zachary himself.

Thus, he dared not slight them.

Shaking his head, Andrew replied, “No, thanks. We’ve still got some work to be done when we get back.”

He then thundered, “Everyone, return to the base!”

“Understood!”

Following his order, the military officers started moving out in uniform steps. While they were on their way out, Andrew inadvertently caught sight of Jonathan sitting in the obscure corner near the door.

The moment he spotted the man, he abruptly halted in his tracks.

“Attention!”

As his order rang out, the uniform steps stopped at once.

Under the gazes of everyone present, he strode over to Jonathan. Straightening his back, he saluted the man in the perfect military posture. “Commander!”

Commander?

When the crowd heard that form of address, they were all instantly floored.

What’s happening here? Why would someone from the King of War Division address him as “Commander”?

In a flash, everyone gaped at Jonathan, their eyes filled with incredulity.

Just as they all thought Jonathan would salute Andrew in the same manner in return, he merely glanced at the latter nonchalantly and remarked, “Zachary told you to come?”

“Yes, Commander!” Nodding, Andrew added in slight embarrassment, “He actually wanted to come in person…”

But he didn’t dare do so! He was afraid that you’d toss him into Northern Crimson Prison and confine him there for a few months!

While he did not dare utter the rest of it, Jonathan naturally understood Zachary’s thoughts after hearing that short sentence. “Well, at least he’s tactful! All right, you may all go back.”

He waved a dismissive hand.

“Yes, Commander!”

Without further ado, Andrew spun on his heels and left.

That was how things worked in the military—an order was to be obeyed to the letter as compliance superseded all else.

Everyone present remained deeply entrenched in shock, still gawking at the scene unfolding before them. Meanwhile, Luna could not help biting hard on her rosy lip.

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that the King of War, Zachary, actually sent his men over to offer his felicitations to Jonathan! That aside, he even planned to come in person!

“M-Mr. Goldstein, were those few officers just now really from the King of War Division?” Hugo still could not quite believe everything that had transpired right before his eyes earlier.

It all felt like a dream to him.

“Do you think there’s anyone who dares impersonate a member of the King of War Division?” Jonathan swept a placid gaze over him, but that mere look put Hugo on pins and needles.

If the young man had dared speak to him in such a manner in the past, he would have long since given the order to have him thrown out.
