The Legendary Man novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Live Firing Exercise

The night went by in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, the incessant ringing of Jonathan’s phone woke him up at the crack of dawn.

Frowning, he answered in an irritated tone, ”Hello?”

After all, he had always hated being woken up from his sleep by someone else.

“Mr. Goldstein, have you gone back to Yaleview?” The moment the call connected, he heard a hoarse voice over the line.

“Who told you that?” Casually lighting a cigarette, Jonathan turned on the lights and glanced at the clock.

He realized it was only five in the morning.

It was still pitch-black outside.

“It was Andy!” the hoarse voice continued. “Last night, I heard him say that you had returned to Yaleview. But since it was midnight, I didn’t dare disturb you. Hence, I called you first thing in the morning instead.”

“He sure is a blabbermouth!” Jonathan snapped. “Tell him he has to serve detention for one month starting from today, and he’s not allowed to step out of the military base. If he dares to disobey, I’ll break his legs myself! Do you hear me?”

“Yes, Sir!” Even though it was over the phone, the caller was still intimidated by Jonathan’s instructions. “Mr. Goldstein, is one month too short? Why don’t we detain him for six months?”

“Do you want to join him?”

“No, I don’t!” The caller denied at once. “Mr. Goldstein, when did you come back?”

“A few days ago,” Jonathan casually replied. “Who else knows that I’m back?”

“No… no one. Just the few of us.” Those few naturally meant the elders of Asura’s Office and the four Kings of War.

“Go ahead. What did you call me for?” After tapping the ash off his cigarette, Jonathan got up and drew back the curtains.

The caller was one of the four Kings of War, Karl Hamilton.

Back in the day, he was Jonathan’s subordinate. The commander had handpicked him to join Asura’s Office as one of the four Kings of War after many hard-earned victories under his belt.

“It’s something trivial.” Karl chuckled like a fool over the phone. “Mr. Goldstein, where are you? Why don’t I come pick you up?”

“You don’t have to,” Jonathan answered plainly. “Whatever it is, you can just tell me over the phone.”

“It will be the eight Asura Guards’ annual live-firing exercise soon. Since you didn’t attend last year, would you like to drop by this year, given that you’re in Yaleview?”

“Live-firing exercise?”

The question surprised the commander.

Is it that time of the year already?

After all, the annual exercise was established by him three years ago.

All eight Asura Guards would take part. The winner would have the honor of being the crème de la crème of the team until the next exercise.

Most importantly, the goal of the yearly event was to increase their combat ability so that they could perform better as a team on the battlefield one day.

“When is this?” Jonathan casually asked.

“In two weeks.”

“Fine. I’ll be there.”
