The Legendary Man novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Ingratiation

Ms. Hansley?

The moment Hendrick heard the words, he looked to the door subconsciously. However, the sight that greeted him caused his knees to buckle in fear.

Luna Hansley? Why did it turn out to be her?

It had never crossed his mind that the boss of Empyrean Palace was Luna.

Luna Hansley!

Also known as Dark Widow, she dominated both the legal and underground worlds of Jazona. Despite both circles having their own unspoken rules, Luna danced around them with ease. Even Hendrick’s boss had to show her respect, let alone Hendrick.

“M-Ms. Luna, why are you here?” The moment he saw Luna, Hendrick lowered himself.

The air of arrogance he had earlier was now gone.

“Do you know me?” Luna looked at him indifferently, as she had no idea who he was.

 

After all, she only socialized with important figures such as Randall, who was a mayor, and Harrison, the most ruthless man in Jadeborough.

Hence, there was no way she would know Hendrick, who was nothing but a street hoodlum.

“I do!” Hendrick nodded. “Ms. Luna, I work for Mr. Gary.”

“Little Gary?”

Luna knitted her eyebrows as if she could vaguely remember.

“That’s right.”

Hendrick nodded awkwardly. If it were anyone else who referred to Gary in such a disrespectful manner, he would have slapped the person without hesitation.

However, in front of Luna, he didn’t even dare utter a single word of protest.

“Ms. Luna, I wasn’t aware Empyrean Palace belongs to you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have the guts to cause any trouble at all.”

Hendrick realized it was not the time to behave arrogantly. Insisting on maintaining his pride would only get him killed.

After all, everyone in Jazona knew how ruthless Luna’s methods were.

Whoever dared to cause trouble on her turf would be fed to the fishes in the Goda River. Even that was considered getting off lightly.

“Tell me, why are you causing a ruckus at my place?” When Luna took out a cigarette, the manager who was standing behind her lit it subserviently.

After she took a puff, Hendrick explained, “Ms. Luna, I am not actually trying to cause any trouble on purpose. It’s just that my brother was beaten up.”

Just as he spoke, Hendrick pulled Kyson over. “Ms. Luna, look at how badly injured he is.”

Luna shot Kyson an indifferent glance.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t deny that he had been horribly beaten, to the extent his mouth was filled with blood.

In fact, he had even lost a couple of teeth.

“Today, I’ll let the matter slide on Little Gary’s account if all of you slap yourselves ten times.” The way Luna talked about it sounded as if she was doing Gary a big favor.

Even then, Hendrick didn’t dare murmur a single retort.

Without any hesitation, he began to slap himself forcefully.

After multiple slaps, blood was oozing out the corners of his mouth.

“Ms. Luna, we have finished slapping ourselves.” When he was done, Hendrick forced an awkward smile at Luna.

“What about him?”
