The Legendary Man novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Housecleaning

“I’m not asking you to follow me. I’m telling you to leave to save your life.” Having said that, Xiara spun on her heels and left.

“It’s up to you if you want to come with me or not.” As her voice faded, she put a voice-modifying device into her mouth. With a blow, the call of the insects sounded the next moment.

As soon as the call of the insects sounded, the other assassins exchanged looks in silence. They hesitated, but the young boy was the first among them to react. The rest snapped out of it quickly after the boy, and they immediately headed in the direction Xiara disappeared.

As for the slender lady, she, too, hesitated. She gave one last glance in the direction of the mansion and followed behind the others.

Right after they left, a faint spiritual energy fluctuation slowly retracted back into Jonathan’s body. He gradually opened his eyes, gently lifted the blanket, and carefully pulled his arm away from Josephine.

“Mm…” Upon catching the movements created by Jonathan, Josephine murmured something in her sleep, “I’m pregnant. Don’t be naughty…”

With that said, Josephine turned around to get into a comfortable position. Jonathan chuckled lightly at how Josephine looked like a cute, docile kitten sleeping soundly.

Before he got up from bed, he gave her a quick peck on her cheeks. Jonathan then silently walked out of the door with the Heaven Sword in his hand.

His expression abruptly changed as soon as the door was closed shut. “If you all have a death wish, don’t blame me for this then!”

There was an observation deck at the mountain peak behind Edenic Heights. The mist around the mountain made the surroundings look incredibly ethereal. Behind Xiara stood six men donned in black clothes.

As for the slender lady, she gazed at the brightly lit sky while her brows knitted together.

“According to the anatomy of a human, one is most tired between two thirty and four thirty midnight. Agent 65, we missed the best time for assassination when you brought us here. We need an explanation.”

Xiara turned around. “Agent 98, it seems like you have forgotten your manners after I’ve been away from Paradise Island for too long.”

Xiara whipped out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth. Upon catching a glimpse of her movements, the assassins hurriedly backed off with their hands covering their mouth and nose.

The teenage boy was the only one who didn’t cower among the assassins. He even had a smile on his face when he walked up to Xiara.

“Agent 65, it’s been three years since your last return. I have missed you so much!” the boy said happily as he slowly made his way to Xiara.

Xiara patted the boy’s head in response. “Agent 99, you’ve grown so much. It’s not that I didn’t want to go back, but no one knows where Paradise Island is.”

“Through the contacts. You can always get the contacts to guide you back home when you turn in your mission report,” the boy replied with a matter-of-fact tone.

“Home? Is that truly a home?” A hint of confusion flashed across Xiara’s eyes. At the side, Agent 98 tightened her grip around her dagger.

“Agent 99, get back here at once. I’m the team leader! Stay away from Agent 65.” Upon hearing Agent 98’s words, Agent 99 looked toward Xiara with a perplexed expression.

On the other hand, Xiara turned toward the others, and a hint of mockery flashed across her eyes. “If I wanted to poison you, I would have had all of you taken down when you were on your way here with me.”

The others exchanged a look of bafflement in response and put their hands away after a few seconds.

“Agent 65, we’re here to clean things up for you. The mission assigned to you by Xiara is long overdue. Why aren’t you executing your mission?” Agent 98 uttered grimly.

“Why would I?” Xiara turned around and shot daggers at her. “If you’re here to clean things up for me, then you should know about my latest report. There’s an additional three hundred million in Xiara’s account. The money is paid to me by Jonathan Goldstein to protect his family. I don’t think I’m doing the wrong thing when I’m merely executing the mission I was paid for.”
