The Legendary Man novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 The Office Of Asura

Ten minutes later, Jonathan received a call from Zachary.

“Mr. Goldstein, the members of the Turner family has infiltrated the ranks of the governor’s office and the King of War Division! To make things worse, a lot of them are high-ranking officials!” Zachary, who was on the other end of the phone, could barely suppress his wrath.

Ironically, as the governor of Jazona, the King of War, he knew nothing about the ones infiltrating the ranks.

“Send someone to deliver the copy of intel you have gathered once you’re free.” Jonathan started puffing on a cigarette in the pitch-black room after delivering his instructions to the man on the other end.

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”

A few moments of silence later, Zachary mentioned, “Mr. Goldstein, allow me to express my utmost apologies on my negligence! I’m ready to bear to consequences of my actions!”

Although Zachary was the King of War, he wasn’t exempted from the rules as a member of the Asura’s office.

“Indeed, you need to bear the consequences of your negligence, but now isn’t the time. Once everything’s over, I’ll deal with you.” Jonathan announced in a callous tone.

As the King of War, Zachary was supposed to oversee the operations of his subordinates. However, he wasn’t even aware of the ones infiltrating the ranks.

Hence, he couldn’t deny his responsibilities when others, especially the members of the Turner family had made use of their affiliation with him, proclaiming themselves as the vice-governor for personal gains.

Apart from him, those affiliated with the governor’s office and the King of War Division were to be held accountable for their carelessness as well.

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Zachary had no intention to explain himself since he was the one at fault. Instead, he asked in return, “Am I supposed to take out the spies and the high-rank officials?”

“That won’t be necessary! I’ll take care of them when the opportunity arises in the future! I don’t mind taking you out if I’m aware you’ve gotten yourself involved in this matter voluntarily!”

Zachary was one of the pioneers of Jonathan’s party in the early days. It was undeniable that he had contributed a lot towards Jonathan’s success in ensuring the nation’s safety.

With that being said, it wasn’t enough to justify his actions of trying to reign over Jazona because Jonathan was the sole reason the nation was at peace.

Startled by the things Jonathan brought up, Zachary slurred in an attempt to defend himself, “Mr. Goldstein, you have my words! I have nothing to do with this! Please have faith in this foolish subordinate of yours! Never in a thousand years will I try something as silly as such!”

The four of us know the things he’s capable of like the back of our hands! There’s no way we’re going to betray him unless we’re not in our right minds anymore!

“I hope you’re telling the truth!” Jonathan hung up the call after wrapping up the conversation in a callous tone. He would never tolerate the ones turning their backs against him after experiencing it once in the past.

In the morning, Margaret knocked on Jonathan’s door shortly after dawn break.

“What is it?” Jonathan asked with a frown when he saw Margaret standing at the entrance.

“Haven’t you promised to give me fifty thousand last night? You’re not going to tell me it was nothing more than a lie, are you?” Margaret made it sound as if Jonathan was obliged to give her the money.

Truth be told, she had been thinking about the amount her son-in-law promised her last night.

I’m sure she’s trying to scam me! Perhaps she’s going to ignore me once she gets her hands on the money!

“You’re right for the first time in forever! It was something I made up to deceive you!”

Jonathan turned her down without much hesitation. He had seen right through Margaret’s plan the moment she brought it up. It was never his intention to give her the money. The sole reason he promised her was to wrap up the conversation to avoid the hassle of engaging himself in a lengthy conversation with her.

“Huh? Are you giving up on the watch?” Margaret almost shouted when she heard him.
