The Legendary Man Chapter 477

A Report On The Gomez Family

Jonathan was sprawling lazily on the couch in the Yaeger residence.

Hayes stood beside him with his hefty frame as he gingerly carried a tray. “Mr. Goldstein, this is red robe tea that was gifted to me. Have a sip.”

Jonathan sighed at his reserved demeanor. “Did you buy this manor?”

“No, no.” He shook his head hastily at Jonathan’s question. “Someone gave it to me without expecting money in return.”

Jonathan glanced around and noted that the manor was more lavish than his mansion. Despite Lumonburg’s remoteness, it was considered generous to give someone such a sizeable property there.

“Being the King of Lumonburg sure has its perks. You got such a large manor without spending a dime, and you live more luxuriously than me.” He chuckled, having grown accustomed to such matters.

Besides Hayes, Zachary and the other Kings of War, too, controlled many lands and soldiers. As such, it would be odder if no one tried to bestow them with lavish gifts.

Hence, Jonathan chose not to intervene as long as they did their job well. Moreover, the gifts were from prominent families, so there was no need for them to feel censurable for accepting the gifts.

Jonathan’s assertion surprised Hayes. The former was strict and abhorred corruption with a passion, so it was only natural that Hayes became wary of his unexpected question after Juliette’s transgression.

“I apologize, Mr. Goldstein. I’ll return the manor to the Gomez family. I declined the gift at first, but they insisted that the manor would be empty anyway—”

“The Gomez family?” Jonathan interrupted him mid-sentence. “Hayes, did the Gomez family gift you this manor?”

“Yes,” he faltered. “Well, it’s not exactly a gift. I’m only staying here temporarily for as long as I want for free.” His voice grew softer as he spoke sheepishly.

However, Jonathan’s attention was caught by the three words “the Gomez family.”

He had come to Lumonburg to learn the truth about Josephine’s assassination. To his surprise, before he could proceed with his investigation, he discovered that Hayes was associated with the Gomez family.

The Gomez family was one of the most prominent families in Lumonburg, which was over a thousand and two hundred kilometers from Jadeborough, and had no business ties with the Smith family.

They had no reason to be associated with each other since they had no conflict of interest either. As such, Jonathan couldn’t figure out why a family thousands of miles away from them would place a bounty on them on the Dark Web.

His suspicion had led him to Lumonburg. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have ordered Hayes to eradicate the Gomez family and be done with it instead of doing it himself.

This matter isn’t as simple as it seems.

“Are you close with the Gomez family?” He gave Hayes a wary look.

“Not at all.” Hayes quickly explained, “I’ve always abided by your rules and kept to my territory, minding my own business.”

He scratched his head in bewilderment as he continued, “Speaking of which, I do think this matter is peculiar. I assumed the Gomez family wanted to utilize my name to expand their power when one of his men handed me the keys to the manor. However, they’ve never gotten in touch with me since that day. Even when the patriarch of the Gomez family ran into me at a reception, he would be cordial to me but nothing more. Additionally, they have never mentioned the manor to anyone, as though they have forgotten about it. However, it’s making me uncomfortable.”
