The Legendary Man novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Please Come Back

The foul stench of blood lingered in the air of Jazona as the Kings of War rained down death and misery to those who crossed their master. On that very night, the Turner family, leader of Jazona’s four prominent families, was eradicated.

The news took the whole city by storm, shaking everyone. None of them had expected a giant like the Turners to be wiped out so quickly. After all, they held an obscene amount of power in their hands.

More importantly, the citizens of Jazona wondered who was behind the massacre. They thought the Turners must have crossed someone terrifying, but they had no clue who that mysterious character was.

All they knew was that the Turners were no more. They were wiped out in a single night.

While the citizens were speculating and coming up with their own theories about the Turners’ fate, the lockdown on Jazona lifted, and the army of Anima Dragon Guards left the city, allowing it to reopen to the public.

The army of Fang Dragon Guards massacred everyone in the governor’s office and disappeared without a trace when dawn broke through the horizon. It was as if they had never appeared before.

The Divine Dragon Guards, who led the crusade against the rebels in Jazona, went back to their military base under the leadership of Zachary.

The guards retreated silently, as if the bloodbath that happened the night before had never occurred.

Even though the whole city’s lockdown was lifted in the end, one region remained on lockdown—Jadeborough.

Lieutenant Reaper and his army of Eagle Dragon Guards were still standing sentry before the gates of Jadeborough, forbidding anyone from going in or out of the city.

Because of their actions, they isolated the city from the rest of the world.

Military commander’s residence, Jadeborough.

Jonathan was seated in the middle of the living room while Terrence, Zachary, and Dorian stood before him. None of them dared to sit in his presence. Not before he told them to.

Randall—the mayor of Jadeborough—was not even worthy to be in the presence of the Kings of War and Asura himself. He had to stand guard by the door. He didn’t even have the privilege of being their errand boy.

Back in the room, Jonathan took a little sip of the tea and waved the Kings of War down. “Sit.”

“Yes, sir!”

The Kings of War obliged and sat down fluidly, as if they had practiced it a thousand times before. It was perfect, and not a single one of them sat down slower or faster than the other.

“How is that situation in Beshya?” Jonathan asked.

“Sir, the rebels in the West Region have retreated. Kane is still chasing them down.” Zachary stood up. No matter what he did, it would smell of discipline and the military.

“Sit!” Jonathan frowned at him. “You do not have to stand when you talk to me here. We’re in Jadeborough, not Asura’s Office.”

“My apologies, Sir. It’s… a habit at this point.” Zachary scratched his head.

However, if they were in Asura’s Office, he wouldn’t even dare to stand before Jonathan, let alone sit. He’d kneel before his master.

“Tell Reaper and his army to return to Beshya. I want the rebellion in the West Region culled in one month. Fail me, and Kane shall serve time in the Northern Crimson Prison.

“Dorian, you shall be on guard duty should that come to pass. If he leaves the prison without my orders, break his legs.”

Jonathan looked calm when he said that, as if he was just telling everyone to get him a Frappuccino at Starbucks. It sounded like the devil’s whisper to the Kings of War, and their legs turned to jelly.

There was nobody in Chanaea who’d boast about breaking a King of War’s legs. Nobody but Asura, although he issued it as an order.

“Yes, Sir!” Dorian stood up immediately, apparently learning nothing from Zachary’s lesson earlier.
