The Legendary Man novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 How Dare You

Right after Jonathan had departed the military commander’s residence, a mysterious guest came to Edenic Heights.

A black Rolls-Royce slowly rode into the neighborhood to No. 1 Villa. A short while later, the car stopped before the villa’s gates, and someone opened the door.

A middle-aged man who was wearing a black suit came out of the car. He had a dark look on his face which only turned darker when he looked at No. 1 Villa. Then he rang the doorbell.

The sound shattered the silence, and Josephine came to open the door. “Hello. How may I help you?”

“I am here for Jonathan Goldstein.”

“Jonathan?” She looked at him suspiciously. “He’s not in right now.”

“No matter. I can wait for him.” The man barged into the villa rudely and ignored Josephine’s attempt at a protest.

When she tried to stop him, a few burly men in black quickly stood before her, blocking her way.

“W-What do you want?” She thought the men in black were dangerous, and her mind was screaming at her, telling her to chase them out. “Leave my house right now, or I’m calling the police.”

 

“Worry not, lady. I shall not harm you.” The man looked at her calmly as he waved the men in black down. They obliged and quickly retreated away from Josephine.

“W-Who are you?” She went to a corner and held her phone with her right hand quietly. If the man or his lackeys gave her any reason to believe they would harm anyone, she would call the police immediately.

 

“I am also a Goldstein. Tommy Goldstein. I’m Jonathan’s relative.” The man sat on the sofa casually, as if he was the host instead of Josephine. “In other words, I’m technically your uncle.” He lit a cigar up.

Uncle? He’s a Goldstein? He shares Jonathan’s last name! It was then, realization struck Josephine, but she asked hesitantly, “Are you Jonathan’s family?”

“You might say so, yes.” The man nodded, still acting as calm as ever.

“If that’s the case, then why have I never seen you before?” A frown furrowed her forehead.

She had been married to Jonathan for four years, but he had never brought up his family. Not even once. And she had never seen his family either. Even when they got married, not a single person from his family came to the wedding.

“Despite what you might think, that is quite normal actually,” the man answered flatly. “Jonathan hasn’t seen me in ten years, either. This is the first time we meet.”

Jonathan hasn’t seen him in ten years? The frown on her forehead deepened, and what little trust she had for the stranger was slowly getting lesser and lesser.

Naturally, Josephine started feeling alarmed. “H-How can you prove it? How can you prove that you’re telling the truth?”

“I do not have to. You shall know if I was lying once Jonathan returns.” The man put his cigar out and looked at one of the men in black. “Have you found him yet?”
