Chapter 521 The Codename
Quinten turned around slowly, only to see Jonathan walking in his direction from the entrance of the mansion. “You are… Jonathan Goldstein?”
Quinten had gotten information on the Goldstein family from the Osborne family early on, among which Jonathan’s was the most detailed given his status as the head of the Goldstein family.
In an instant, Quinten cast the luggage that he was holding aside and ran inside. “I don’t have anything to do with this! The Osborne family made me do all of it!”
Quinten knew it was likely that Jonathan might have already finished off the security guards outside, seeing that Jonathan had arrived before him.
When it came to Jonathan, the lesser one knew about him, the better, for knowing too much about the man would only bring about an overwhelming sense of helplessness and fear.
At that moment, Quinten had understood that he would be as good as dead if he fell into Jonathan’s clutches. “Where is Sophia?” asked Jonathan nonchalantly while following behind Quinten.
“I really have no idea at all!” Quinten kept on avoiding Jonathan in the room. As he ran around, he reached for the objects on the desk and threw them in Jonathan’s direction in an attempt to chase the latter away.
From Jonathan’s point of view, all that he did seemed like child’s play. In a flash, Quinten was pressed to the floor in a death grip by Jonathan.
Usually, Jonathan would never be as aggressive toward a common person, but he could hardly calm down when Sophia’s status was unknown after being abducted.
“Jonathan, this is all the Osborne family’s doing as the mastermind! I’m but a pawn who takes orders from them, so why make things difficult for me? If you’ve got the guts, go face Jay head-on!”
Jay Osborne? Jonathan furrowed his brows when he heard the name.
Back then, when he was digging up information on Grand Forest Mountain, he found out that the owner of the mountain resort was Broderick Osborne, and now he encountered someone named Jay Osborne. It seems that I’ll have to deal with the Osborne family again.
Crack! Following a crisp noise, Jonathan reached out and broke Quinten’s arm before grasping the broken arm and giving it a push, causing the broken bone in Quinten’s arm to jut out from underneath the flesh.
Just like that, the bone that had just fractured got exposed in the air alongside the black fascia. “Argh!”
Quinten wailed upon feeling the intense pain shooting up from his arm, and his eyes rolled back as he almost fainted. Yet, Jonathan silently placed his left hand behind Quinten’s head at that moment.
Cool, pure spiritual energy surged into Quinten’s brain nonstop, even managing to jolt Quinten awake despite the fact that he was on the verge of losing consciousness just seconds ago.
As soon as his addled mind cleared up, the pain in his arm intensified. Yet, the spiritual energy prevented him from fainting, making him suffer a pain worse than death that resonated on a soul level.
“Jonathan! Please kill me! Let me die!”
Although Quinten tried to wring himself free from Jonathan’s clutches, he couldn’t have gone anywhere with his broken arm in Jonathan’s grip.
“Tell me all that you know, and I will make short work of you,” Jonathan demanded emotionlessly as he watched Quinten struggle painfully.
Having climbed from rock bottom to the reigning position he held, Jonathan had seen his share of happenings during wartime.
Torture of that degree was nothing to Jonathan. To Jonathan, the minor injury on Quinten’s arm wouldn’t have stirred anything in him.
However, such deeds felt hellish for Quinten, who was put through them.
“I’ll talk!” Quinten shouted while trembling. “It was Jay who had me ask Sophia out. He then abducted her and ordered me to bring you a message. He’s in Yaleview, so you have to find him if you wish to rescue Sophia!”
“Is that all?” Jonathan raised his leg and gave Quinten a hard kick on his crotch.
