The Legendary Man Chapter 302
You Are Not At Fault
Emmett blanched the instant he heard those words. His face was ashen-white and ghastly as he thought about what he had just heard. The fact that they could not step into the Goldstein residence after today was the equivalent of kicking them out of the Goldstein family.
He exclaimed, “Jonathan Goldstein! What right do you have to kick me out of the Goldstein family? I’m the head of the household! I call the shots and make the decisions in this family!”
As he spoke, Emmett glared vehemently at Jonathan with a ferocious look. After all, no one knew just how much he had invested and sacrificed for the family in his capacity as the head of the household.
For the sake of keeping his hold on the reins of the Goldsteins, he had gone to great lengths to kick Jonathan out of the family, even going so far as to send men to assassinate his very own daughter. Everything he had done was so he could sit comfortably on the throne he had fought for.
However, despite all this, Jonathan had used but a single mere sentence to snatch his seat from him and kick him out of the family to boot. To Emmett, this was no different from killing him right where he stood.
“What right do I have?” repeated Jonathan mockingly in response to Emmett’s words. He sneered and continued, “Emmett Goldstein, I think there’s one thing you’re still unclear about! This is not a negotiation. I am telling you unequivocally that this is your one and only chance of survival! It’s either you lose your life, or you scram from the Goldstein family!
“From now on, don’t let me see your face again! If I do, don’t dream of looking to anyone to save your life. Not Sophia and certainly not even God himself!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jonathan turned to leave. He couldn’t be bothered to continue this pointless charade with Emmett any longer. He fixed his gaze on Andy, who was kneeling just beyond the entrance, and yelled, “Andy Morsley!”
“Yes!” acknowledged the man promptly.
In a split second, Andy’s aura had undergone a dramatic change, and he was now overflowing with killing intent.
“I hereby order you to mobilize the ten thousand Asura Guards under your command and surround the Goldstein residence! If Emmett doesn’t scram within half an hour, you have my permission to march straight in and level the place! Kill whoever dares to stand in your way!” commanded Jonathan in a frigid and haughty voice.
“Yes, Sir!”
Upon receiving the order, Andy didn’t bother disputing or questioning any aspect of it. Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Soon after, he was connected to his subordinates, and he instructed, “You have the next ten minutes to mobilize all the Asura Guards we have available. Gather at the Goldstein residence in Yaleview and wait for my command! Remember to be in your full combat gear and prepare for battle!”
“Yes, Commander!”
The second the call ended, Andy silently turned toward Jonathan and shared, “Sir, I have conveyed your orders as instructed!”
“On your knees!” ordered Jonathan indifferently as he glanced at Andy before turning and fixating his attention again on Emmett. All the blood had long drained from Emmett’s face as he knelt on the ground before Jonathan. “You still have another half an hour to reconsider your decision. It’s purely up to you whether you live or die!”
“Jonathan…” began Sophia in an attempt to intercede on behalf of her father. However, Jonathan interrupted her and stated firmly, “This is my bottom line, Aunt Sophia! If he doesn’t scram from the Goldstein residence in the next half hour, I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”
“But… Jonathan…”
Her mouth had begun to open as she prepared to step in once more. Nonetheless, Jonathan interrupted her yet again and exclaimed, “There’s nothing else to be said! Back then, this was exactly how he chased me out of the Goldstein family! Not to mention, I was only ten years old at the time!”
