The Legendary Man Chapter 420

You Are The Burden
“I’m not going.” Josephine shook her head with a look of resignation on her face. “The company is in a mess right now. I need to deal with it. I really can’t afford to leave right now, so how about this, let Emmeline go with you instead. She did recently tell me that she wanted to go to Durbaine.”

“Emmeline?” Jonathan instantly shook his head. “Why would I bring her there? It’ll only be the two of us. It’s going to be weird.”
“How weird could it be?” Josephine looked at Jonathan weirdly. “Are you having some lewd thoughts about my sister? I’m warning you, Jonathan. If you ever dare to do anything to her, I’ll—”

“What would you do?” Jonathan could not help but laugh.
To him, Emmeline was not exactly blessed with a nice figure. She looked like she had not reached puberty yet. There was no way Jonathan would want to do anything to her at all.
“I don’t care. You are not allowed to have any ill intentions toward her!” Josephine glared at Jonathan. “If you do, I’ll… I’ll move out!”

“What if she has ill intentions toward me instead?” Jonathan asked in exasperation.
“In your dreams!” Josephine scoffed. “You’re not Emmeline’s type at all. Those young men in dramas are more appealing to her. There’s no way she’d like an old man like you.”

“You can’t be too sure about that.” Jonathan pursed his lips and reached for a cigarette before heading to the balcony. “Are you really not going to Durbaine with me, Darling?”

“I don’t want to.” Josephine shook her head. “Why are you going to the balcony?”

“I want to smoke. The doctor told me to not smoke near you as you are pregnant.” Jonathan lit his cigarette and looked out at the view in front of him.

During his trip to Gronga, although he had destroyed the Hunters Guild and killed Waxon, he still did not manage to find any clues about the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.

Jonathan was not sure if the jade pendant and the Heaven Sword had anything to do with the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique or not.

As he thought of that, his head started pounding.

He had already been searching for two years but to no avail.

Jonathan hoped that he would be able to discover more clues about the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique during his trip to Durbaine.

Soon enough, he finished smoking his cigarette.

However, just as Jonathan was about to extinguish the cigarette and walk back into the house, the door opened. Emmeline walked in dragging a suitcase.

“I’m back, Josephine!” she called out just as she entered.

“Why did you bring so much stuff back? Are you on a break?” Josephine asked in confusion as she went over and took one of Emmeline’s luggage.

“Yes. Summer vacation just started.” Emmeline shrugged off her jacket as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. In a swift move, she kicked off the shoes on her feet. “I’m so tired, Josephine. You have no idea how torturing those few hours were when I was on the way back.”

As soon as Emmeline sat on the couch, she instantly spotted Jonathan walking in from the balcony. “Why are you here?”

“Is that how you greet me? How rude!” Jonathan said with a huff as he lightly whacked her on the head.

“Hi, Jonathan,” Emmeline reluctantly called out as she rolled her eyes.

Ever since that day, she had an indescribable fear of Jonathan.

However, as Josephine slowly accepted Jonathan, Emmeline did not hate him as much as before.

But that was all.

She did not hate him, but she did not really like him either.

That was especially so after she had been taken advantage of by Jonathan when she had gotten drunk. The moment Emmeline thought of that night, her face instantly reddened.
