The Legendary Man novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Son In Law

Anderson was astounded because he wasn’t even aware of the identity of the one chasing them out of the city. To leave right now seemed very cowardly of him as the one leading the most prominent family in Jadeborough.

“You don’t deserve to know his actual identity! Here’s a heads-up for you—get out of Jadeborough as soon as possible unless you wish to get on his nerves more than you have. Otherwise, not even Kingstone is capable of keeping your family safe!”

“Y-You—” As infuriated as Anderson might be, he knew it wouldn’t be wise to start another fight. He turned around and announced, “The banquet is over! Kindly evacuate the hall at once! Thanks for showing up!”

Huh? Why has he canceled the banquet?

As confused as the guests might be, they knew Anderson was serious due to the stern look on his face.

What’s going on? Didn’t we gather around here today to celebrate his seventieth birthday? Why has he changed his mind out of the blue?

“On top of that, the Blackwood family is going to leave Jadeborough in a few hours. Please stop dropping by the mansion in the future. If there’s anything you need, kindly get in touch with Harrison—the person in charge of the company from now onward.”

Anderson marched away seconds after he finished his announcement, leaving the confused guests behind in the hall.

What! Why are members of the Blackwood family leaving Jadeborough? Have they lost their minds or something? Why have they handed everything over to Harrison? How is Harrison related to the Blackwood family?

A series of unprecedented events had thrown off most of the guests. While everyone had their eyes glued on Harrison, Harrison kneeled in front of Jonathan. “Thank you so much, Mr. Goldstein!”

In spite of the questions he had in mind, he was afraid of poking his nose into the business of the man in front of him. It was almost impossible for him to figure out the things going on in the mind of Asura.

Jonathan glanced at Harrison and queried, “Do you know the reason I appointed you as the person in charge of the Blackwood family’s business instead of the Smith family?”

“No!” Harrison shook his head when Jonathan brought up the most prominent question in his mind. After all, Jonathan was the son-in-law of the Smith family.

It didn’t make any sense for him to appoint someone else when he had chased the members of the Blackwood family out of Jadeborough because of the Smith family.

“I don’t have any intention of doing the Smith family a favor. My wife is the sole reason I’m resolving the conflict between the two families. The Blackwood family’s business is merely something blown down by the windfall.”

It was never his intention to chase the Blackwood family out of Jadeborough. Unfortunately, Anderson refused to admit his fault when he had the chance. Therefore, Jonathan thought of teaching Anderson a lesson the hard way.

Harrison continued kneeling and answered, “Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”

“Keep in mind it’s not meant to be your personal keepsake. It’s something I’ve acquired on behalf of my wife. In other words, Josephine’s the one in charge of the Blackwood family’s business from now onward.”

“Yes, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!”

Seconds after he assured Jonathan, he stammered his question, “I-If that’s the case, why don’t you appoint her as the person in charge instead?”

“She’s not a match for the vicious members of the Smith family. They will try everything and anything just to get their hands on it. They would assume I was handing the business over to them and not Josephine herself.”
