The Legendary Man novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Level Three Defense Readiness Condition

For the second half of the flight, the two pilots operated under Xiara’s watch. Much like what she said earlier, she had never trusted anyone before, not even the two pilots who were so scared they were on the verge of pissing in their pants.

After the plane landed, she finally put her gun away. Once the cabin door opened, countless fully-armed soldiers rushed in. Zachary dashed into the plane. He circled Jonathan and took a few looks at him, but still couldn’t let go of his worries. “Are you okay, Mr. Goldstein?”

“Enough of that. It’s not like I can die that easily,” Jonathan chided jokingly. “Take a look at the passengers in the back. If any of them are wounded, Asura’s Office will cover all medical fees. Investigate the identities of the corpses on the ground and get the Intelligence Bureau to look into the organization that they’re working for. Also, tell Hades that he needs to start gathering all of Asura’s Office’s troops soon. We’re entering level three defense readiness condition.”

“Level Three Defense Readiness Condition?” Zachary couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

Even though Level Three Defense Readiness Condition was the lowest level of preparation in Asura’s Office, it still signified that war was about to happen and that materials had to be prepared.

Once Level Three Defense Readiness Condition was put into place, all the garrisons would have to make full arrangements within a day. All the soldiers on leave or resting would have to return to their posts regardless of their rank.

Guns would be taken out of storage, and rations would be stored in warehouses. All the vehicles would be fueled up and weapons would be fully loaded.

Everything was to prepare for war immediately.

“Is there an urgent war happening near the border, Mr. Goldstein?” Zachary asked in a low voice.

“It’s an internal problem within Chanaea,” Jonathan stated. “I’ll tell you when you need to know.”

“Understood.” Upon hearing that, Zachary knew that he had asked an inappropriate question and did not push the matter any further.

On the other hand, a soldier ran over to the two of them. “Reporting in, Commander. How do we deal with this woman?”

They both looked over and saw that around five soldiers had aimed their guns at Xiara.

Even so, she was busy eating potato chips. It was as if she couldn’t see the guns pointed at her whatsoever.

“Mr. Goldstein, that woman is…” Zachary was no fool. Other than the pilots, the only people conscious on the plane were Jonathan and Xiara. He knew she couldn’t be an ordinary person.

Jonathan felt a headache coming on when he saw her.

Initially, Xiara had tried to assassinate him for a bounty. However, once he saw through her, she decided to follow him.

She had been on his side in Grand Forest Mountain as well as on the plane and had helped him out quite a bit.

Nonetheless, Jonathan knew that when she used the sedatives to leave everyone unconscious, she had no intention of sparing him.

Over the past few days, there were many occasions in which he could sense her killing intent toward him.

She obviously had yet to give up on assassinating him.

If it were Jonathan from the past, there was no doubt that he would have sent Xiara straight to Northern Crimson Prison.

However, when he thought of Punisher, who had defected after leaving, Jonathan was immersed in thought.

Even though Asura’s Office was tremendously powerful and even had spies in other countries, the one thing they didn’t have a hold on was Dark Web.

In the past, he had wanted to get Punisher to manipulate the bounty modules on Dark Web. The purpose of it was to have an extra pawn on the web.

Despite that, nobody could have imagined that Punisher would defect and join Apocalypse instead.

While staring at the grinning Xiara, Jonathan remained silent for a few seconds. “Let her go. She’s not one of us, but she has helped me out quite a lot.”

Jonathan was straightforward when it came to talking.

By saying that, he wanted to tell Xiara that he had no intention of making things difficult for her, but also that he wasn’t going to pay her any mind.
