The Legendary Man novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 The Path To Death

Goldstein Residence, Yaleview.

A gust of cold wind blew across the residence, enticing the wind chimes to sing their silvery song. It was supposed to be a beautiful melody, but only hauntingly so given the situation.

An old man in a grey robe sat in the center of the main hall, his forehead tightly knit into a frown. He had a dignified look on his face that inspired fear from his enemies, but courage to his allies.

He was reading The Beast Hunter’s Bizarre Adventure with a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of him. Its steam was billowing quietly in the air.

Just when he had finished the page and was about to flip to the next, a person in servant attire suddenly barged in.

He seemed panicked and terrified. The moment he came in, he quickly knelt before the old man and reported, “W-We have received u-u-unsettling news in Jazona, sir. A-An extremely unsettling piece as well.”

“What seems to be the matter?” The old man put his book down and glanced at the servant with a gaze as calm as the deep blue sea. “And catch your breath. Do not panic. You are in no hurry.”

When he heard the news, he understood why the servant came in such a hurry. “Sir, the Turners… the Turners are wiped out! Every single one of them!”

“What did you just say?” The old man’s face fell when he heard the news, and the calm gaze he had a moment earlier was replaced—for once in ages—by a storm of murder. “The Turners are annihilated? The Turners? The ones in Jazona? Where did you hear about this?”

The Turners are the most powerful of the four prominent families in Jazona. The people there dub them as the vice governor’s office. Even the real governor has to stay away when they’re involved. Such is their power.

But now they’re completely and utterly annihilated? Who or what possesses that much power to accomplish that feat? Not even the King of War himself could perform that act on a mere whim! I require more answers.

“Sir, we received this news from the governor’s office in Jazona.” The servant looked at the old man carefully and answered, his voice little more than a whisper, “The staff there said they saw the Cardinal King of War himself led a hundred thousand Fang Dragon Guards and caused a bloodbath in the governor’s office. They arrested every single person who’s connected to the Turners and shot them dead on the spot!”

“Terrence?” The mention of Terrence made the old man frown again. “That cannot be. The Cardinal King of War and his army of Fang Dragon Guards should be stationed in Kingshinton. What made them leave their duty to go on a crusade in Jazona?”

The Kings of War were stationed in four different regions of the nation. They were not to leave their stations under any circumstances, unless Asura himself issued the command.

Anyone who broke the creed would be treated as rebels and have extreme violence used on them.

And that begs the question: why did Terrence suddenly show up in Jazona with his army? And why did he shed so much blood in the governor’s office? No. It cannot be… That is preposterous.

It was at that moment when a terrifying idea occurred to the old man. He had a look of terror etched on his face for a moment, then he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Did they say anything else about the matter?” The old man picked his cup of tea up casually and blew on it. He might look as calm as a cucumber, but his hands were slightly trembling, and his tea almost spilled out of the cup.

“Yes, sir. The Cardinal King of War not only led his army of Fang Dragon Guards on a crusade against the governor’s office, they even killed a lot of the people in the Vanquisher King of War’s residence. Because of his actions, Jazona is still in a state of lockdown. Not even a single soul could get into the province.”

He even did that? When the old man finally absorbed the shocking information, he could no longer maintain a firm hold on his teacup. It fell on the floor, smashing into pieces. Some shards even crumbled into a small heap of dust.

“I see. This must be the will of Asura himself.” The old man looked horrified as he recalled the dark days of Asura’s reign.
