The Legendary Man novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 A Sign Of Valor

Verily, Josephine was in high dudgeon.

I had actually changed my perception of him slightly, but he obliterated everything in less than a minute!

In fact, she was so enraged that she ignored him for the entire afternoon and even kicked him out of the office, ordering him to go home and return the watches.

My anger from yesterday hasn’t yet abated, but he just had to provoke me again today!

“Women are truly petty creatures!” Jonathan curled his lips after having been instructed to go home.

It’s been a whole day and night, but she’s still holding on to her grudge from yesterday!

To his surprise, no one was in the mansion when he arrived home. Even Margaret, who usually chattered endlessly, was nowhere to be found.

At the rare silence, Jonathan lit a cigarette and returned to the room. Then, he started training in the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.

If I hadn’t come into possession of the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique by coincidence back then, I probably wouldn’t have transformed from a weak and scholarly man into Asura, who subjugated all nations in a mere three years. But I simply can’t figure out why there’s only half of the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique. Where is the other half? Back then, I stayed at Northern Crimson Prison for a whole year to find the other half of it, yet I couldn’t find it even after turning the entire place inside out!

Before he realized it, the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

When he was finally done practicing, Jonathan found that he had long since been soaked in sweat. The reek of sweat clung to him, and there was even a layer of dirt on him.

The stench was so pungent that one’s stomach would churn upon catching a whiff of it.

Phew!

Exhaling deeply, he casually stripped and went to the outdoor swimming pool.

As the most luxurious mansion in Edenic Heights, No. 1 Villa naturally had a swimming pool. Besides, it was even of the top-notch borderless design, just like those infinity pools at five-star hotels.

He swam for half an hour before getting out of the pool.

However, the instant he pushed open the door, he was greeted by the sound of something falling onto the floor before the shrill shriek of a woman followed. “Ahh!”

“When did you come home, Darling?” Jonathan looked at Josephine by the door while toweling his hair.

At that moment, Josephine’s face was bright red. She hastily clapped her hands over her eyes. “Jonathan, w-why are you walking around naked?”

In response, Jonathan glanced down at himself. “Who said I’m naked? Aren’t I wearing shorts?”

“H-Hurry up and cover yourself!” Josephine’s face flamed as she covered her eyes. She had never expected to see him standing there in a mere pair of shorts just after entering the house.

“We’re married, so I don’t mind even if you look.” Jonathan wrapped the towel around his waist blasely. “All right, open your eyes. I’m clothed.”

Josephine skeptically peeked through her fingers, only to hurriedly cover her eyes again when she saw that he had merely used the towel to shield his lower body. “P-Put on a shirt as well!”

Ever since young, she hadn’t even touched a man’s hand before, much less experienced such a scene.

“My body is still wet. I’ll put on a shirt later after I’ve dried off.” While saying that, Jonathan silently walked toward Josephine. Alas, Josephine didn’t realize it at all. Keeping her eyes closed, she shook her eyes and countered, “No! Do it right away!”

“Okay, then. I’ll go upstairs to put on a shirt,” Jonathan replied. Subsequently, the living room plunged into silence.

After a long time went past without a rustle to be heard in the living room, Josephine tentatively called out, “Jonathan?”

There was no forthcoming answer.
