The Legendary Man novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 A Fool

“What do you think?”

James shot him a cold glance. “Do you think just about anyone can sit here?”

“Oh? In that case, how does one qualify?” Jonathan plainly asked.

“Hmph, how?” James sneered in response, “I’ll be frank with you. One has to have at least two billion in assets before one is allowed to sit here. Do you have that? You don’t even look like you have a hundred million.”

James looked at Jonathan with a smirk. He gathered that Jonathan didn’t even have two hundred thousand, let alone two billion.

How can a hoodlum be worthy of sitting at the same table as me? It’s just utterly disgusting.

“Oh? Are you saying that I’ll be able to sit here if I have two billion?” Jonathan’s expression remained indifferent.

Two billion was nothing to him.

After all, he could commandeer the Blackwood family’s entire assets just by saying the word.

 

“Hah, two billion!” James let out a contemptuous smile. “Kid, do you even know what two billion looks like? I’m sure you have never seen so much money in your entire life. Do you think you can sit beside me even if you have two billion?

“Are you even aware of the significance of your seat? This is the most important in the first row. Even if you have five billion, you’re not qualified to sit with me!”

James was seated at a table of four. It was the most distinguished position in the entire banquet. Only the heads of the four prominent families of Jadeborough and Harrison, the most ruthless man in Jadeborough, were worthy of sitting there. No one else qualified, no matter how rich they were.

That was how prestigious the seat was.

Even if one were rich but didn’t have any position, one still wouldn’t be allowed to sit there.

“Five billion isn’t a lot. How about ten billion?” Staring calmly at James, Jonathan asserted, “If ten billion isn’t enough, how about twenty billion?”

Twenty billion?

Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter when they realized that Jonathan was nothing but an idiot.

Even the Blackwood family, who were the most prominent in Jadeborough, didn’t have that kind of money, let alone Jonathan.

Twenty billion was so much money that one couldn’t finish spending it in two hundred years if one were to spend a hundred million a year.

With twenty billion, one would easily be the wealthiest man in Jadeborough.

“Harrison, where did you find this dumbf*ck?” James sniggered as he looked in Harrison’s direction. “Harrison, what have you been doing? Have you fallen so far as to let some idiot who runs his mouth off take your seat? As Jadeborough’s most ruthless man, you’re nothing but a disgrace!”

Everyone present couldn’t help but smirk at James’ words.

Just for a moment, they had assumed he was someone important from Yaleview. But now, it was obvious to them that he was just a motor-mouth buffoon.
