The Legendary Man Chapter 419

“Of course, you’re beautiful.” Jonathan’s arms encircled Josephine from behind. “My wife is the finest and most beautiful woman in the world. Even a goddess can’t compare with you.”
“Eat your food, you smooth talker, or they’ll get cold.” She pouted and ladled a bowl of oatmeal porridge for him.

He had only gotten a few spoonfuls down when his phone rang.

“Hello?” He set his spoon down.

“Mr. Goldstein, it’s me, Hades.” A hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

“I know. What’s going on?”

“Mr. Goldstein, there is a one-hundred-million bounty placed on you a couple of hours ago.”
“One hundred million?” The outrageous sum astounded Jonathan. “Did the Hunters Guild place it?”
“Yes.”

“They’re such a tightwad. The people who sought to put a bounty on me offered billions, yet the Hunters Guild wants my life in exchange for a hundred million?”

Back when he used to conquer and occupy lands, those foreign opponents would all offer a few billion for his head.

He was astonished to know that the price for his life decreased from a few billion to a mere hundred million as years passed.

“Exercise caution, Mr. Goldstein. Those assassins were wary of you when you were in the force, but not anymore…” Hades trailed off. One hundred million was sufficient to tempt the most skillful hitmen from all corners of the globe.

They didn’t dare make a move on Jonathan when he was in the force, but now he was a lone wolf, which created a perfect opportunity for them.

Jonathan shrugged it off insouciantly. “Never mind that. Those numskulls want my life? They’re delusional!”

He added, “Oh, right. Tell Andrew to lead a team to guard No. 1 Villa from a distance. One mistake, and they’ll pay for it with their lives.”

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein. I’ll arrange it immediately.”
The call disconnected with a click, and Josephine immediately knew something was amiss. “Did something happen?” she asked.
“Nothing. Just a bunch of idiots with a death wish.” Jonathan skirted around the Hunters Guild and the bounty.

No one in this world would touch a hair on Josephine’s head as long as he was in Jazona. Over his dead body.

They made quick work of their dinner and watched television in the living room after Jonathan took a shower. Josephine, like many other girls, enjoyed watching romantic dramas.
