The Legendary Man Chapter 1213-“What’s the name you mentioned?”
As soon as the signaler finished his sentence, three figures materialized out of thin air beside him.
Zachary, Terrence, and Karl appeared before the signaler, their formidable presence causing the latter to step back in fear instinctively.
The trio also became aware of the intense atmosphere they had inadvertently created. To ease the tension, Zachary quickly cleared his throat and spoke up. “Let’s calm down for a moment. Can you tell us who the person at Yaleview Army’s headquarters is?”
“J-Josephine Smith,” the signaler replied diffidently.
“Commanders, I might’ve misinterpreted the information. Perhaps I should decode it again.” The signaler was starting to panic at that point. Why would the Yaleview Army’s intelligence personnel issue such an odd message during this critical juncture of the battle at River Onxy? Moreover, Josephine Smith is obviously a girl’s name.
As the urgency of the information demanded immediate action, the signaler didn’t take the time to verify the decoded message. Instead, he promptly rushed over to deliver the news.
Faced with the intimidating presence of the three commanders, the signaler became increasingly concerned that he may have misinterpreted some crucial information regarding the war.
However, there was no way Zachary and the others would’ve allowed the signaler to leave without providing further clarification.
While lower-ranked soldiers may not have been familiar with Josephine’s name, individuals like Zachary and his colleagues were well-acquainted with her.
Half a year ago, Jonathan, the founder of Asura’s Office and the true power behind the organization had made the decisive choice to “retire” due to Josephine’s influence.
Even so, he was busier during his nearly one-year retirement than when he took command of Asura’s Office.
Hence, Josephine’s significance to Jonathan was self-evident since he was willing to make such a decision for her sake.
After Josephine was kidnapped by the Osbornes, Jonathan seemed to lose his sanity, dedicating all his time to confronting the respectable families.
From the initial fear of the Osborne family holding Asura’s Office hostage to the subsequent cooperation agreement, every decision made by Jonathan was driven by the desire to ensure the safe return of Josephine and her child.
No one expected Josephine would inexplicably show up on the battlefield, not to mention within Yaleview Army’s headquarters.
The trio wondered what exactly was going on.
“Speak up! Is Josephine alive or dead? Who sent her there? When did you receive this information?” Zachary’s voice echoed with anxiety as he used his spiritual energy to restrain the signaler.
As the King of War who had been by Jonathan’s side for the longest time, Zachary understood better than anyone the significance of Josephine’s return for Jonathan.
Taking in Zachary’s demeanor, Karl placed a hand on his shoulder.
The pang of pain pulled Zachary back to his senses. Only then did he notice his spiritual energy was suffocating the signaler, turning the latter’s face crimson.
Instantly, Zachary dissipated his spiritual energy and uttered apologetically to the signaler, “I’m truly sorry for my aggressiveness. However, the matter regarding Josephine is of utmost importance to Asura’s Office. Please, I implore you, share with us all the information you have.”
The signaler was still a little dazed. “I just received the intelligence, and it was labeled as a piece of urgent information, so I rushed over immediately. I didn’t probe further for more detail—”
Before the signaler could finish his sentence, he saw that Karl and Zachary had bolted out the door.
“Terrence, stay here and hold the fort. We’ll come back as soon as possible!” Zachary’s voice echoed in the corridor, sounding as if he had traveled a great distance away, leaving the signaler dumbstruck.
Terrence, on the other hand, grinned at the signaler. Then, he took out a high-quality cigar from his storage ring. “This is for you. Consider this as a small token of apology from Zachary.”
