The Legendary Man novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 It Is Your Turn Now

Though it was not loud, the voice was clear and held an authoritative note.

The girl jerked and snapped her head up in the direction of the voice.

She was greeted by the sight of a young man dressed in dark casual attire. His eyes gleamed with cold fury. It was a dark and angry expression that belied his youthful look.

The girl was able to recognize him from the vaguely familiar contours of his face.

“Jon! You’re finally here! My parents are about to be thrown out!” Relief poured out of her the moment she recognized him. Unable to contain herself, she broke down wailing. It was as if a dam had broken inside of her, and she had to release the pent-up sorrow and frustration that had been accumulating ever since her parents’ hospitalization.

“Shh… It’s okay. I’m here now,” Jonathan comforted her. “No one will lay a finger on you again.”

His expression turned steely upon seeing Alice crying so helplessly. Ten years ago, she was still a little girl who was always following him around like an eager puppy.

She would sneak him extra food when her father was feeling less than charitable and did not provide him with enough food.

She would even share her favorite candies with him. To this day, he had the habit of carrying some candies with him, thanks to her influence.

The same little girl who had been so kind to him was now on her knees and being dragged out the door by her hair.

Jonathan clenched his teeth, anger rolling off him in waves.

Unable to suppress his wrath any longer, he roared. “I’ll say this one more time—release her now! Don’t you dare touch her with your filthy hands!”

However, the security officers ignored his command. One of them snorted. “Sure, we’ll let go of her if she pays the medical bills she owed!”

There was a vicious smile on Jonathan’s face. “I’ll pay for her. In exchange, I’m going to break every bone in your hands for laying a finger on her.”

He moved as soon as he finished the sentence. In the blink of an eye, he charged forth and grabbed the security officer who still had Alice by a fistful of hair.

A sickening crack sounded in the room as Jonathan snapped the security officer’s wrist in a swift, powerful movement.

“Aaah!” The security officer screamed. The agonizing pain had him kneeling in front of Jonathan.

“W-Who are you? What do you want?” Shocked, the other security officers took several steps back. They hastily whipped out their batons and pointed at Jonathan in a threatening manner.

“Who else touched her?” Jonathan swept his gaze over the men. The icy glare shook them to the core.

It felt as though they had been targeted by a ruthless predator, and they were the prey that was about to meet its doom.

“Don’t come any closer! I’m warning you—this is a hospital! There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If you do anything to hurt us, I’m calling the police!” the head of the security officers yelled while shrinking back in a true cowardly fashion.

However, his threat did not work on Jonathan, whose only response was to march forward and grab the security officer’s hair, pushing his head down and kneeling him hard on the face.

With a loud thump, blood spurted out of the man’s nose and mouth.
