Chapter 206 You Meanie
“We’re done, you hear me? I have nothing to do with you or your family anymore, so leave. Leave right now!” Josephine chased him off without hesitation.
Ever since Hugo kicked her out of the Smith mansion, she lost what little love she had left of him.
“Josephine!” The old man didn’t want to give up just like that. He gritted his teeth and eventually kneeled before her. “Josephine, I’m not getting up unless you forgive me. I don’t care how long it takes.”
“Then you can kneel here forever. I couldn’t care less.”
It irked Jonathan to see Hugo pestering Josephine with his usual shameless routine. Since the Smiths would stop at nothing to take her back despite their blatant betrayal, Jonathan saw no reason to show them any more courtesy.
“As-” Hugo caught himself before he blurted Jonathan’s other name right in front of Josephine. The murderous glare from his grandson-in-law sent a chill up his spine, and he immediately corrected himself. “Jonathan, I-”
“Piss. Off.” If looks could freeze, the elderly would have turned into a human-sized popsicle right there and then. “I want you out of my sight in ten seconds. Your time starts now,” Jonathan said imperiously.
“Y-Yes, sir! Right away, sir! Right away!” Hugo’s legs turned to jelly the moment he met Jonathan’s gaze. Miraculously enough, he managed to get up and run away despite having jelly legs.
The thought of staying a moment longer terrified him.
After their father scurried off to save his own skin, Ezra and Miguel knew it was their cue to leave as well. They looked at Jonathan for a moment before turning around to stumble off. They were frightened, but they wanted to save their skin too.
A moment later, silence descended upon the living room once more. However, it did not last long.
“Jonathan, am I seeing things here? They seem to be scared of you.” Josephine looked at her husband curiously. After all, she couldn’t believe Hugo could ever look that terrified.
“Who knows?” He shrugged. “They’re not afraid of me, I guess. They’re scared of the King of War.”
“The King of War actually stepped in?” She stared at Jonathan in surprise after hearing about that. Jonathan actually got Zachary to help? The King of War?
“Yep.” He nodded. “How else did you expect me to save the entire Smith family? I couldn’t have done it alone.”
“And the Turners?” Josephine had more questions, but she was hesitating to talk about it. She was still worried about whether the Turners would keep exacting their vengeance on them.
“Gone. Erased. Wiped off from the map of Jazona.” Jonathan smiled. “They foolishly enraged the King of War, and it incurred his wrath. He pulverized them. So now you’re free of their threat. They are no more.”
“Really?” Josephine’s eyes widened in surprise. She had a look of disbelief on her face, and it was understandable. Even the governor had to tread lightly around the Turners. However, the King of War snapped them out of existence as if they were just a group of inconsequential insects.
That is just so unbelievable. The King of War is an absolute powerhouse!
“Yes. I have no reason to lie to you, do I?” Jonathan smiled at her, then he looked at Margaret and Connor, who were still hiding outside the door. “Don’t just take it from me. Ask those guys over there.” They were still too afraid to come in, but they had no choice after Jonathan called out to them.
“I-It’s true. It’s all true. Jonathan did not lie to you.” Connor had mixed feelings about calling Jonathan by his name so casually. Ever since he found out who the latter really was, he never dared to say his name out loud.
I must be absolutely insane to call him by his real name. That’s Asura right there in the flesh! He can wipe my family out anytime he wants to. Of course, I’m not gonna say his name out loud. This is like that villain in that super famous franchise!
“Jonathan!” Josephine suddenly called out.
“Yes?”
“Thank you.” She stared at the ground and kicked the table’s edge lightly. “And sorry you had to clean my mess up for me.”
