The Legendary Man novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Come Back From The Dead

When the man in the white suit looked at Jonathan, Jonathan likewise stared at him.

It was none other than Tavion.

Even after four years had passed, Jonathan still recognized him at a single glance.

“Mr. Callahan, this man here insists on meeting you. I tried to get him to leave, but he refused to do so,” the receptionist explained frantically upon seeing that Tavion had spotted Jonathan.

Unexpectedly, Tavion didn’t even bother looking at her. Instead, his eyes remained fixated on Jonathan with a trace of disbelief in them.

“Jonathan?” he called out tentatively.

“Why, don’t you recognize me anymore?” Jonathan quirked an eyebrow.

“It’s really you, Jonathan? I thought I got the wrong person!” When Tavion had ascertained that it was indeed Jonathan, he stepped forward to hug him. Alas, Jonathan instinctively took a step back upon seeing that.

Tavion ended up with empty air in his arms.

 

Nonetheless, he wasn’t at all embarrassed. He shot daggers at the receptionist and reproved, “Why didn’t you tell me that Jonathan is here? He’s one of my best friends! Without him, I wouldn’t be here today! If he comes again in the future, make sure that you’re polite to a fault with him. You’ll be dismissed if you dare stop him again! Is that clear?”

“Yes, Mr. Callahan!” The receptionist was so stricken that she had gone as pale as a sheet.

“You must be tired after waiting here for such a long time.” Tavion appeared exceedingly friendly and earnest. “Come, let’s go to my office for a rest. You there, get someone to brew a pot of tea and bring it to my office!”

“Understood, Mr. Callahan!” Nodding, the receptionist spun on her heels and left.

When she had left, Tavion led Jonathan to his exclusive elevator. In the elevator, he glanced at the man he hadn’t seen in several years. “I haven’t seen you in a few years, Jonathan! Where did you go in the past few years? I turned the whole of Jazona upside down to look for you, but I simply couldn’t find you!”

“Oh, really?” Jonathan eyed him coldly as he lied through his teeth.

Three years ago, I stayed in Jazona for an entire year. Why was it that I never heard of anyone looking for me? Oh, that’s not right. There were people looking for me—my debtors and the group of people hunting me down!

“Why didn’t you find me, then? I’ve been in Jazona for the past few years,” Jonathan riposted offhandedly.

“What? You’ve been in Jazona for the past few years?” Tavion abruptly swung his gaze at Jonathan, incredulity brimming in his eyes. “That’s impossible! How could that be? In my effort to find you all these years, I paid that useless bunch of people several million in total! Damn it! How dare they take my money without doing any work? They’ll be getting it from me very soon!”

His reaction was intense, making it seem as though he had truly been hiring people to look for Jonathan in the past few years.

Regretfully, Jonathan didn’t believe him in the slightest, no matter how realistic his act was.

Jadeborough is so small, yet he couldn’t find me even after searching for four years? What a lie!

No sooner had Tavion finished speaking than a knock suddenly sounded at the office door. On the heels of that, a tall and fair woman in a short, black skirt walked in with two cups of hot tea. “Here’s the tea you asked for, Mr. Callahan.”
