The Legendary Man Chapter 451
Traitors
A tense and murderous atmosphere filled the main street outside the hotel. One could almost suffocate from how dense it was.
Just then, a tall figure emerged from the sea of fully armed soldiers and kneeled on one knee.
He stated respectfully, “Mr. Goldstein, I’ve arrived as per your order.”
That man was one of the Eight Kings of War from Asura’s Office, Hades.
He was a legendary being, known for his mercilessness and the countless lives that perished in his hands. Thus, the public nicknamed him “Hades.”
He was very much the human embodiment of Hades, the god of the dead.
Such a god-like killer’s presence made even the experienced Logan shudder in trepidation. Needless to say, everyone there could barely stand straight as their knees had turned wobbly.
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed right then. Nothing, not even the smallest commotion, escapes the eyes of Asura’s Office.
Hades had received the news before Salonius Corporation sent their men to disrupt the peace in Durbaine. Hence, he rushed over at once.
Jonathan condescendingly looked down at Benson, his sharp gaze piercing through the latter like a cold knife.
He stated, “A scumbag like you, who’s in cahoots with Jetroinians and has harmed your fellow comrades, is a useless piece of trash! Your existence does nothing more but wastes our precious resources!”
A chill ran down Benson’s spine, spreading throughout his body and causing his knees to give in. Following a loud plop, Benson fell to the ground and loudly muttered, “Please don’t kill me! I’ll gladly hand over all my family’s assets and wealth. I can even disappear from your sight forever. I swear I won’t ever set foot in Durbaine again.”
“Oh? So, you regret your actions now? Well, it’s too late! Why didn’t you consider the consequence when siding with Salonius Corporation back then? Didn’t you foresee this day would come?” A grim killing intent flashed in Hades’ eyes.
He took wide strides over before his iron-like grip tightened around Benson’s neck.
With a forceful twist, a loud snap resounded, and Benson’s neck immediately broke before everyone’s eyes.
A gory mixture of bleeding flesh and jagged bones soon came into view. Seeing that, everyone felt goosebumps rise on their skin.
Hades’ reputation was no joke. There was indeed no trace of mercy from him when he took others’ lives.
Everyone on the four prominent families’ side was terror-stricken at that moment. They soon fell to their knees and begged in desperation.
However, not even a hint of pity showed in Jonathan’s gaze. He felt it was necessary for wrongdoers to pay the price for their actions.
Anyone who joins forces with the enemy out of personal interests and betrays Chanaea can’t be forgiven.
Suddenly, a vicious red glow flitted across Hades’ eyes as he rotated his wrists, warming them up. At the same time, he sneered, “It’s been many years since I killed someone. It looks like I’ll have to take a few lives today!”
With that, all the armed soldiers made their moves. Chaos erupted outside the hotel as the soldiers were determined to make the four prominent families pay gravely for their despicable actions.
Jonathan covered Emmeline’s eyes and brought her inside the hotel. He worried that such a gory scene would traumatize Emmeline, who was still fairly young.
Behind them was Logan, who limped along, since he had sustained severe injuries.
Jonathan glanced at him and asked, “Shouldn’t you get those wounds dealt with?”
“It’s no big deal.” Logan pretended to be unbothered but immediately winced when he accidentally stretched the wound on his body. It hurt so much that he gritted his teeth.
Jonathan’s lips curled into an amused smirk. Haha. That guy’s thick skin would make for a pretty invincible shield.
