Chapter 211 Scram
“H-How can this be? This is impossible!” He stared at the heap of lifeless corpses, then at Jonathan. As the full realization of what happened started to sink in, his face contorted with a look of horror.
How is this possible? I spend millions every year on this group of hitmen from the black market. Not even retired special forces could injure them, but now Jonathan has managed to slaughter all of them?
“You have until the count of three. If I still see you in my house, you will be next to join this mountain of corpses.” Jonathan aimed the weapon straight at his uncle.
Tommy stared at the gun, and his legs started turning to jelly from the sheer terror he was feeling. Even so, he gritted his teeth and demanded, “How dare you threaten me, Jonathan? I am your uncle! If you take my life here, you will meet the Goldsteins’ full wrath. Are you certain you can face that?”
“Goldsteins’ wrath?” Jonathan sneered, dismissing Tommy’s wrath. “Do you really think I care about that?” he scoffed. “If it weren’t for my father, I would have wiped the whole family out.”
The mention of his father took Jonathan down memory lane. It was a cold, dark place which he never wanted to revisit. Once again, the past that happened ten years ago sprang into his mind.
Back then, Timothy—the eldest son of the Goldsteins—died in a car crash. His wife, Elizabeth, also passed away with him in the same freak accident.
Jonathan was their son. He was only a ten-year-old boy when his parents died. Despite that, the Goldsteins exiled him and prohibited him from ever returning to Yaleview.
His parents had just passed away, and he had no one to rely on. Barely any time had passed since his parents’ death when he was struck by the exile. The Goldsteins chased him out as if he was garbage, cutting all ties with him.
It was one bad news after another for a young boy. The despair and helplessness piled upon him, but he persevered and made an eventual, roaring comeback.
When he and the guards came to attack Yaleview, the first thing that came to Jonathan’s mind was to destroy the Goldsteins. He wanted to murder each and every one of them for the sin they had committed. Despite that, he held back his urge for vengeance.
He destroyed all the aristocratic families in Yaleview, leaving only the Goldsteins untouched. It was not because he did not want to, but he decided against it when he saw his father’s grave. It was clean, and there were flowers placed before the tombstone.
Even though the Goldsteins exiled him, they, at the very least, cleaned his parents’ grave. It seemed like an unimportant task. Ultimately, that single gesture spared them from imminent doom.
However, if the Goldsteins would try to push their luck and cross the line, he would not mind annihilating them.
“You think you can annihilate us? You think too highly of yourself.” Jonathan’s threat sounded like the world’s biggest joke to Tommy. “Jonathan, wake up and smell the coffee. No matter what you do, you’re still nothing but a mere insect before the Goldsteins. You cannot even comprehend the power we hold.
“Even the Turners are nothing in our eyes, and they are the most powerful out of the prominent families here!” Tommy made that revelation in all his foolishness, not knowing that it might herald death and destruction for his family.
