The Legendary Man novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 I Will Not Give Up

Half an hour later, Jonathan pulled over at the entrance of the ecological park’s construction site!

He saw countless patrolling cars and a few fire engines. Although things were under control, the entire site was a mess with smoke gushing out from the burned down buildings.

Thankfully, it was just an ordinary constriction side; if it was a chemical plant, it might be a catastrophic disaster capable of wiping out the living beings nearby.

“Mr. Goldstein!” Immediately after Jonathan alighted from the car, Harrison rushed over.

He had a disheveled look. It was evident he had been trying his best to make sure everything was under control as well.

“What’s going on?” Jonathan queried with a frown.

“It was my fault! I’m so sorry for disappointing you! I’m ready to bear the consequences of my negligence!”

Instead of making excuses to defend himself, Harrison kneeled in front of Jonathan seconds after he confessed and indicated his will to bear the consequences of the arson.

As a soldier, he was conscious of Jonathan’s pet peeves—he couldn’t stand others making excuses for their mistakes.

Instead of reprimanding Harrison, Jonathan queried in return, “Now isn’t the time to hold you accountable. Have you found the mastermind?”

Harrison shook his head and answered with his face puckered in wrath, “No! We can’t get anything on them because they’ve destroyed the surveillance camera beforehand! On top of that, they did a great job covering their presence shortly after fleeing the scene!”

Needless to say, Harrison was equally frustrated because no one had ever challenged him when he was known as the most ruthless man in Jadeborough.

He was aware that his reputation would be at stake if words of the incident made it to the rest of his peers.

“It seems like they’ve been planning this for quite some time. Has anyone informed Josephine?”

Harrison couldn’t fathom the emotions associated with Jonathan’s indifferent look.

He answered while shaking his head, “She’s not aware of the arson because I haven’t had the time to tell her!”

“If that’s the case, keep her in the dark for as long as possible,” Jonathan instructed nonchalantly.

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”

Another cab showed up at the entrance when the duo was about to wrap up their conversation.

Josephine rushed out of the cab and hurried her way to Jonathan when she saw him.

She asked, “What’s going on? Why have the buildings been burned down?”

Afraid she couldn’t take the truth after the series of incidents she had gone through over the past few days, Jonathan made something up to deceive her and said, “Maybe it’s the weather! It has been quite hot recently. Don’t you think so?”

“Seriously? Do you think I’m going to fall for something so absurd?” Josephine wasn’t convinced at all because it was almost winter.

On top of that, there were strong gusts everywhere throughout the past few days. In short, it was impossible the weather was the reason behind the fire.
