The Legendary Man novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Out Of Time

Things got increasingly tense among the ones in the hall as those affiliated with the Blackwood family returned with weapons to take out Jonathan. It was evident they were ready to kill Jonathan as soon as Anderson instructed them to do so.

Some of them started whispering, “How are they going to take the young man out if it turns out he’s just bluffing?”

They thought it wasn’t very wise of Jonathan to start a fight with the members of the Blackwood family during Anderson’s birthday banquet. In an attempt to intimidate others, Anderson would definitely resort to something extreme to make an example out of Jonathan.

“Maybe they’re going to chop him into pieces and dispose of his corpse in the middle of nowhere!”

“I don’t think so! They’re definitely going to torture him to his death!”

“Ha! I think that’s not the case! I’m pretty sure they’re going to chop off the young man’s limbs and make him regret his decision of picking on them! Maybe death is the easy way out among the rest!”

As the guests remained seated, Alvin, who was a few tables away, glared at Jonathan with his eyes glinting. He whispered, “Dad, he was the one who ruined my plan!”

“Are you talking about the man over there?” Sebastian glanced at Jonathan and commented with a contemptuous look, “It doesn’t really matter since he’s going to die in another few minutes.”

“I’m afraid that’s not the case! Even Andrew had to listen to him yesterday!”

“As compared to the Blackwood family, Andrew is just a nobody in spite of his affiliation with Zachary! There’s no way he gets to call the shots in Jadeborough! Have you forgotten Kingstone’s the one supporting the Blackwood family?”

“Kingstone? Are you seriously telling me the governor of Jazona is—” Alvin responded to his father with his eyes widened in disbelief.

“You need to mind your volume!” Sebastian stopped his son from finishing his sentence and added, “It might be another rumor, but it was possible the Blackwood family was the most prominent family due to their affiliation with Kingstone. Otherwise, there’s no way they’re the most influential among the rest since they’re not really on par with the rest in terms of capabilities.”

Sebastian sneered and added, “It doesn’t really matter who’s the backing of the Blackwood family as long as they’re powerful enough to kill Jonathan! Harrison shouldn’t have gotten full of himself and picked on the Blackwood family for Jonathan since not even those superior to Andrew can save them!”

The ones superior to Andrew were none other than the high-ranking officials of the Divine Dragon Guards.

Despite their authority, it was a mission impossible for them to rescue Jonathan due to the Blackwood family’s acquaintance with Kingstone.

It had been a few minutes ever since the call was made. The guests couldn’t wait to figure out the things awaiting Jonathan, whom they deemed a fool.

“Hey! It has already been a few minutes! Where’s the one rushing to your rescue?”

“We’re running out of time soon! Where’s the one on the other end of the call? If you don’t hurry up, you’re going to end up in the middle of nowhere soon!”
