The Legendary Man Chapter 444

Assasination

The next morning, Josiah led his men and waited respectfully at the entrance.

Upon seeing Jonathan, he trotted over and said politely, “Mr. Goldstein, what would you like to eat? I’ve arranged for the cooks to prepare Durbaine’s signature dish—seafood soup. Would you like to try it?”

Durbaine had two mainstay industries. One of them was tourism.

Durbaine was a tourist hot spot. After battling at a deserted place for years, Jonathan naturally did not mind enjoying beautiful scenery when he had the chance to do so.

Most importantly, Josiah’s restless expression looked as if he would not be able to sleep well that night if Jonathan refused him.

Hence, Jonathan decided to go with the flow and accepted his offer. Josiah was elated, and he quickly ushered the former into the car.

Logan rolled his eyes at Josiah and teased, “My dear Josiah, I’ve given up my opportunity to keep Mr. Goldstein company to you. How are you going to thank me?”

“Logan, you’re the best! Thank you so much for the opportunity!” Josiah wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a troubled expression, “Mr. Goldstein is already extremely displeased with me. I might be removed from my position if I don’t seize the chance to get into his good books. Worst-case scenario, I might even be thrown into that terrible land, Mysonna.”

“Haha! How can I not help a friend who’s in trouble? Anyway, I’ve got a great tip for you. Mr. Goldstein is looking for a seal. You’ll be making a huge contribution if you can find it.”

“A seal? What seal?” Josiah asked excitedly, his eyes lighting up.

Thus, Logan described the seal to him. In order to change Jonathan’s impression of him, Josiah ordered his men to find the seal at all costs.

Jonathan took a sip of the seafood soup as the gentle breeze blew. Sure enough, it tasted extraordinary.

He was on the top floor of the restaurant by the sea. It was a luxurious place, and only a handful of people could afford to spend there. Hence, the place was quite empty.

At the same time, Josiah personally kept him company and described the scenery with great enthusiasm.

Suddenly, his secretary dashed in from the outside, looking anxious. “Mr. Zeimet—”

“Be quiet! Can’t you see I’m busy?” Josiah yelled angrily, shooting his secretary a glare.

However, the secretary looked extremely troubled, as if he had something urgent to say.

Noticing the secretary’s body language, Jonathan waved his hand and said casually, “It’s okay. You can go off and settle your work. Nothing will happen with Logan here.”

Josiah opened his mouth to say something. Ultimately, he decided to leave the room.

After all, his secretary would never behave like that if not for a major matter.

True enough, as soon as Josiah walked out, the secretary said anxiously, “Something bad has happened. Durbaine is in chaos. The four prominent families are causing trouble everywhere. It’s as if they’ve lost their minds.”

Josiah was shocked. His face fell, and he said coldly, “Have they gone mad? How dare they cause trouble at this time? Pass on my orders. Tell them to behave if they don’t want to die. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to punish the four prominent families severely.”

He hurried downstairs and got into the car with the secretary, wanting to rush to the governor’s office to deal with the mess.

However, as soon as he got into the car, the secretary who originally had his head lowered suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed it into the back of Josiah’s waist.

Pfft!

Warm blood spattered out of Josiah’s wound. His eyes widened in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.

To his surprise, his secretary smirked and breathed, “Mr. Zeimet, Salonius Corporation sends their regards. You should rest. It’s time for Durbaine to have a change.”

Josiah’s most trusted secretary had already been secretly bribed by Salonius Corporation long ago, without Josiah’s knowledge.
