The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1237

The prison guard gave a start when Jonathan’s voice suddenly rang out.

Turning around frantically, he finally noticed Jonathan and Stellario’s presence.

After pausing for a few seconds, the guard approached Jonathan’s cell.

“Haha, I didn’t expect that old fogey, Lebron, to send someone over so soon.”

While speaking, the prison guard scrutinized Jonathan and Stellario from head to toe.

When his gaze finally fell upon the unconscious Merilyn, an inexplicable glint of contempt flashed across his eyes.

“I suppose the three of you must have been ostracized in the village, isn’t that right? Just look at how skinny you are. Did Lebron send you here just to make up the numbers?”

Lebron?

Jonathan recalled the old man the villagers saw as a sage. Even though he didn’t have any proof, he was sure that the old man was who the prison guard was referring to.

“I knew it. That old man is up to no good,” Stellario murmured.

The prison guard then lashed his whip at the prison bars and asked, “Say, when I brought food here two days ago, this cell was still empty. When were you transferred here? Was it yesterday or today?”

Just as Stellario was about to reply, Jonathan stepped forward and bowed at the prison guard.

“Sir, we were brought here a short while ago and have no idea what’s going on. All we did was kill an outsider and somehow ended up here. Our village sage can vouch for us.”

The guard chuckled at Jonathan’s words before pointing at the writing on the wall.

“Since you have seen the words on the wall, you probably know the reason for your village’s existence. So, what’s the point in bringing up the sage now?”

Jonathan turned around to glance at the wall before heaving a sigh. When he looked at the guard again, the deference he displayed earlier was long gone.

“Fine. In that case, I would like to know what’s going to happen to us.”

“You’ll die here!” the guard sneered.

“Do you know why we don’t bother about prisoners leaving markings on the wall? That’s because knowing the truth won’t change your fate. I don’t mind telling you that ever since this prison was built, it’s rare for anyone to walk out alive. As for you lot, haha, there won’t be any exceptions.”

Taking note of the guard’s arrogant demeanor, Jonathan questioned coldly, “In other words, it’s still possible for us to get out of here, isn’t that right?”

The guard stopped laughing abruptly and shot Jonathan a wary look.

Throughout his years working as a prison guard, he had seen thousands of prisoners.

Some were apathetic, while others behaved haughtily. There were also those who mentally collapsed and went crazy.

Nevertheless, this was the first time he saw someone as calm as Jonathan.

“Is this why Lebron sent you here? I would feel unsettled too if I had subordinates like you.”

Thereafter, the prison guard gave Jonathan an inquisitive look and said, “If you want to leave, it’s certainly possible. It’ll depend on what you can give me.”

Upon hearing the guard’s reply, Jonathan threw two storage bags onto the ground.

During his journey through Upriver Village and Mountain Village, he killed around twenty to thirty cultivators and took all their storage bags. Giving two up at that moment was no big deal.

Looking at the storage bags in hand, the guard let out a snort after conducting a quick check with his spiritual sense.
