The Legendary Man novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Out Of Jadeborough

The crowd let out an incredulous gasp when the leader of the most prominent family started begging for mercy from a trivial member of the Smith family.

The guests couldn’t remain calm anymore when they found out Anderson had succumbed to the threat of the young man they deemed a wimp.

What the heck? Has Mr. Blackwood really gotten down on his knees in front of the wimp? Can someone slap me in the face and tell me I’m not dreaming?

When everyone went dead silent, someone asked as he could no longer keep his curiosity to himself, “A-Am I seeing what I’m seeing? Why has Mr. Blackwood kneeled in front of the wimp?”

Margaret was of the same idea. She pinched Connor and asked, “Are you seeing what I’m seeing? Is Mr. Blackwood kneeling in front of the good-for-nothing?”

Holy moly! Mr. Blackwood is the one leading the most prominent family in Jadeborough! Why has he gotten down on his knees in front of Jonathan?

That live-in son-in-law of ours is just a good-for-nothing! How the heck has he gotten the influential figure to succumb to his threat?

Connor gulped to keep himself calm. “You’re not seeing things! He has just kneeled in front of Jonathan!”

“What’s going on? Can anyone tell me it’s not real?” Margaret started shouting.

On the other hand, Josephine was also confused. She couldn’t believe the man, who was on the verge of death four years ago, managed to force Anderson into submission when he didn’t even defend himself throughout the years her parents humiliated him.

Back in the hall, none of them were aware of the things going on due to the distance. They couldn’t even see what was happening up close, let alone hear the content of the conversation that had taken place among the men.

However, they knew things had taken a drastic turn shortly after Randall hung up the call with someone else.

Upon another glimpse at Anderson, Jonathan remarked, “It’s too late. You should’ve made up your mind when you were given a chance. Among the options available, you’ve chosen to learn your lessons the hard way.”

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Goldstein! Please forgive me for being an imbecile fool!” Anderson was afraid of offending Jonathan more than he had.

I shouldn’t have looked down on him! It was very ignorant of me to pick on him just because he didn’t seem like someone accomplished!

“Don’t you think it’s too late?” Harrison scoffed at the kneeling Anderson when he recalled the latter getting full of himself, acting all high and mighty in front of them earlier.

“Mr. Goldstein, I’m willing to compensate a total of one billion for the Smith family’s loss! On top of that, I’ll appoint them as the ones in charge of the ecological park’s development! If these aren’t enough, I’m willing to hand over the ownership of over half of my family’s assets to the Smith family as long as you show us some mercy!”

A potential gain of more than tens of billions is nothing compared to the family’s future! I don’t need anything apart from his mercy!

“I’ll consider giving you another alternative—get out of my sight with the rest of the family, and I’ll stop pushing you to the limit.”
