The Legendary Man novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511 Assembling For Battle

The news alone caused Jonathan to spring to his feet. “Lydia, speak clearly. What do you mean by Aunt Sophia is in danger?” On the other side of the line, Lydia was given a fright when she heard Jonathan’s words.

After all, she had seen Jonathan’s methods with her own eyes back when the Maxwell family was being chased out. Even though she was now part of the Goldstein family and on the same side as them, thinking about the matter alone would still send a shiver down her spine.

“A few days ago, the Department of Transportation began causing trouble for the Goldstein family. Its salacious director, Quinten Xydias, invited Sophia out for a meal, and she hasn’t returned since going out in the morning. I tried to call her, but I couldn’t get through. Furthermore…” Lydia choked out.

“Furthermore what? Hurry up and tell me!” Jonathan snapped.

“Furthermore, a group of men came by just now and began seizing things without warning. Everyone has been arrested too. Jonathan, you have to hurry back at once.”

No sooner had Lydia spoken than the sound of someone banging on the door was heard. It was followed by Lydia’s scream amidst a chaotic commotion.

“She’s Lydia Maxwell, Sophia’s associate and a member of Goldstein Group’s senior management. Detain her so that we can comb through their assets.”

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The subsequent call-end tone triggered a frosty expression on Jonathan’s face.

“Jonathan, I heard something about the Goldstein family. Did something happen over at Yaleview?”

Josephine got to her feet with her hands holding Jonathan’s, hoping to provide him some comfort.

Ever since they knew each other, Josephine had only seen Jonathan this calm once—the time she was kidnapped.

Although he didn’t say a word, she was cognizant that hiding underneath his composed demeanor was a sense of boiling rage.

Holding Josephine’s hand gently, Jonathan broke into a smile.

“It’s no big deal. As a prominent family, the Goldsteins have plenty of enemies in the business world. Hence, it’s normal for them to be embroiled in conflict.”

“Really?” Josephine was under no illusion that Jonathan was just trying to reassure her. Hence, she nodded slightly. “I’m glad that it isn’t serious. In that case, do you want to head to Yaleview to deal with it?”

“I’m afraid I have to,” Jonathan replied with a smile. “But don’t you worry. I’ll be back once I’m done.”

“Okay, be careful while you’re there.”

Josephine tiptoed to kiss Jonathan on his cheek. Then she turned around and walked toward the mansion.

In that instant, both of them knew what was on each other’s minds—words were just unnecessary.

After watching Josephine enter the house, Jonathan turned around and looked at Xiara, who was sprawled on the third-floor balcony.

“Did you hear everything?”

Xiara nodded. “Loud and clear. When do you plan to go to Yaleview?”

“Right away.” Picking up his sword, Jonathan flicked it with his wrist and sent it flying toward Xiara in a green arc.

On top of the balcony, Xiara—squinting her eyes to aim—caught the sword by the hilt. The power of the Heaven Sword simply overwhelmed her. Despite holding it by the hilt, she was incapable of maintaining control.

Finally, she released her grip and allowed the sword to pierce above the window.

With intense pain emanating from her trembling hands, she looked at Jonathan with a burning gaze.

“Jonathan, I’ll go to Yaleview with you. I want to see for myself what’s so special about a respectable family.”

“Not this time,” Jonathan replied flatly.
