The Legendary Man novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 Who Did This

“W-What?” Owen gradually stood up in disbelief while staring at Jake, formerly known as Keith, pointing the gun at his head. All Jake did at that moment was smile.

“If you move your feet even a little, I will make sure to put a bullet through your head, Owen. I can hit a hundred rings with ten shots using a handgun over a distance of thirty meters.”

When Owen heard that, his feet moved away from the socket on the floor. If he had put some more pressure on it, he would’ve been able to cut off the electric supply to the computer, which would render the folders Jake was transferring into meaningless code.

However, he chose his own safety without hesitation when presented with a choice between that and preventing the leaking of classified information.

“Back away. Raise your hands over your hand and lie face-down on the floor,” Jake ordered casually while still pointing the gun at Owen’s head.

At that moment, a troop of soldiers in military uniforms was rushing to the third floor of the research institute from the first floor.

Ding! Following a crisp tone, the transfer of the files was completed. At that very moment, the door to the Intelligence Bureau on the third floor got kicked open from the outside. Bang!

A gunshot rang immediately.

The officer who had kicked the door open collapsed backward after the shot. His body was sprawled out on the floor as his brains slowly seeped out in a red and white mess, the mix of hues a dismal view.

Following the officer’s demise, the soldiers outside raised their guns and sprayed bullets at Jake without even flinching, displaying no fear.

Blood spattered in the air. In the blink of an eye, a cheerful, optimistic young man had become a bloody mess riddled with bullet holes.

When Jake collapsed on the floor, he turned his gaze to Owen, who was still lying on the ground beside him. “Thanks for all that you’ve done for me during the past few years, Owen…”

With a smile tugging on his lips, Jake lifted the gun with his right hand and pointed it below his own chin. Then, he pulled the trigger.

Bang! After the gunshot rang, Jake closed his eyes slowly.

Meanwhile, Joshua was trimming his plants in a garden somewhere in Zedfield. The sounds of a barrage of gunfire elicited a frown from him.

In Zedfield, the sounds of gunfire would mean a successful infiltration. Ever since Joshua took office, he had heard dozens of these sudden barrages of gunfire.

“I’ve returned, Commander,” a young man in a suit announced his presence from outside the garden. If Garrison of the Osborne family were present, he would recognize the young man as the one who had spiked Jay’s drink.

“How are things going?” Joshua inquired nonchalantly.

“Things are going smoothly, Commander,” answered the young man with complacency. “I can guarantee that the Osborne family will fight Jonathan to the bitter end until death descends!”

Joshua nodded upon hearing that. “Good to hear… By the way, go investigate the gunshots just now. Despite Zedfield being a small place, peace never seems to last here.”

“Commander, I’ve received news from the Intelligence Bureau. Jonathan has a spy in Section 2 Room 3 of the Intelligence Bureau. Just moments ago, that man who transferred information to Jonathan was gunned down,” reported the young man while handing Joshua the tablet he was holding.

Joshua quickly browsed through the information on it, his expression becoming graver with every passing moment.

“Decode and find out what information he had sent out. Also, detain the recruits who joined the bureau in the same batch as the mole. Screen them one-by-one to check for possible fugitives among them.”

“Understood!” answered the young man in a boisterous voice before turning to go outside. However, Joshua called out to the young man once again when the latter was just about to be on his way.

“That reminds me. Inform Wilbur to remove the lockdown on Yaleview. Since the Osborne family will be tangled up in a death match with the Goldstein family, there is no longer a need for the lockdown. However, do tell Wilbur to be careful and not to let large military troops enter Yaleview.”

“Understood!” The young man wheeled around to leave, and Joshua was left standing alone in the garden. With a solemn look on his face, he raised his head to stare in the direction from where the sound of gunshots came.

“You’ve gone overboard this time, Jonathan. It’s not time for the war between us yet, but it will soon be!”

In the meantime, Jonathan wore a chilly expression while standing in front of Moonriver Estate.
