Chapter 146 Meeting Asura
Can this Mr. Warhol be a fake? Perhaps Jonathan paid an actor to masquerade as the governor?
At that very moment, the same thought crossed everyone’s mind.
After all, no one could fathom why Kingstone, the governor of Jazona, would want to kneel in deference to Jonathan.
“Do you know why I called you here to see me?” Jonathan asked as he gave Kingstone a dispassionate glance.
“No, I don’t.” Kingstone shook his head.
“Is he the secretary of the governor’s office?” Jonathan inquired as he casually pointed at Henry.
“Yes, he is!”
When Kingstone turned around and shot Henry a glance, it sent a chill down Henry’s spine, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
What a terrifying gaze!
As Kingstone’s personal secretary, Henry could easily read the look in Kingstone’s eyes.
He knew that Kingstone would only give him that look whenever he was angry with him.
“Did he offend you?” Kingstone probed carefully as he looked in Jonathan’s direction.
“Not really.” Jonathan elaborated in an indifferent tone, “All he did was abuse his authority as the secretary-general to mobilize the Divine Dragon Guards. Furthermore, he even ordered them to execute me on the spot.”
“What?”
When he heard Jonathan’s accusations against Henry, Kingstone’s expression fell.
The secretary of the governor’s office deployed the Divine Dragon Guards on his own accord and even ordered them to kill Jonathan? Is he trying to stage a rebellion?
“Kingstone, it seems the governor’s office is getting ahead of itself. Without Zachary’s orders, it has mobilized the Divine Dragon Guards on its own accord and even ordered them to execute me. Do you intend to replace the King of War Division and take over Jazona?” Jonathan stared at Kingstone coldly. “After a few days, do you also plan to take over Asura’s residence?”
Although Jonathan wasn’t speaking loudly, it was enough to strike fear into Kingstone, to the extent his knees went wobbly.
Even though he was the second most powerful man in Jazona, he was still a lowly governor from Jonathan’s perspective.
A single word from Jonathan was enough to imprison him.
“I’m sorry, Asura. It’s my fault. I’m ready to accept any punishment you mete out.” In front of Jonathan, Kingstone didn’t dare protest nor defend himself.
After all, a mistake was undoubtedly still a mistake, even if it was his secretary who had committed it.
He didn’t dare retort in any way, as his secretary represented both him and the governor’s office.
Consequently, he had no choice but to accept the responsibility for the mistake, even if he had not personally done it.
“You deserve to be punished!” Jonathan scoffed. “As the governor of Jazona, you can’t even keep a handle on your secretary. How are you going to manage the entire state of Jazona? It seems to me that you no longer deserve to be the governor.”
“Yes, Asura. I admit my mistake!” Just like a child who knew he had done something wrong, Kingstone didn’t even dare breathe while he knelt in front of Jonathan.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe the person kneeling in front of Jonathan was Kingstone, the mighty governor of Jazona.
“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. I’ll give you one minute. Take care of this mess, or I’ll take care of you.” Not wanting to waste any time, Jonathan gave him one minute.
