The Legendary Man novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552 Who Sent You Here

Jonathan was slightly speechless as he looked at Leslie. Back at Triplex Manifesta, this girl had proactively approached him. Now they met here again.

“You were following me?” Jonathan asked nonchalantly as he took the plate of pasta from the stall owner. Due to his special identity, there had been several assassination attempts on him. As such, he cultivated a habit of being cautious of the people around him.

Usually, when he was outside, Jonathan would subconsciously take note of any special characteristics of the surrounding people or vehicles.

Once he sensed any abnormality, he would instantly become alert and be on standby mode to attack anytime.

However, this habit of Jonathan’s was not entirely foolproof. Many a time, he would not pay extra attention to the people who were seemingly ordinary and non-threatening.

Thus, if Leslie had really followed him, it was possible that Jonathan would not have noticed.

Hearing Jonathan’s words, the pasta stall owner glanced at Leslie. There was a look of pity in his eyes.

Leslie was speechless when she saw the stall owner’s expression. Most probably, the stall owner was seeing her as a bimbo who was lovestruck with Jonathan.

However, she did not say anything and instead proceeded to sit beside Jonathan.

“I’m not trying to be sarcastic. But look at you. You’re someone who was willing to spend one hundred and fifty million to bid for the opportunity to be the first to pray at the temple. Yet, here you are, eating a plate of pasta that cost ten. Do you have to be so thrifty?” Leslie asked mockingly.

Jonathan took a side glance at Leslie before he continued eating his pasta.

“I believe this is my first time meeting you. We’re not close, and we’re certainly not friends. I don’t have anything to talk to you about.” Although Jonathan did not say it outright, it was obvious that he wanted Leslie to leave.

Jonathan was supposed to stay at Triplex Manifesta for cultivation after promising Sofus to enter Summerbank Abyss together tomorrow.

As the Phoebus Sect focused on internal cultivation, the members generally did not care much about food. Dinner was a simple fare of bread and pickles, which were too plain for Jonathan. Thus, he descended the mountain to the town to look for something to eat.

Jonathan was not exactly fussy. After all, he used to be an elite warrior. Under emergency circumstances, he could even eat rodents and sorts, let alone plain-tasting food like bread and pickles.

However, this was not the war times. He did not see the need to treat himself so badly.

As his cultivation level advanced, Jonathan subconsciously wanted to open up his mind and hopefully be at peace with himself. Ultimately, he wished to achieve a state of mind where nothing could bother him.

However, he could not help feeling annoyed bumping into Leslie when all he wanted was to enjoy his dinner.

Leslie was quite pretty and had a good figure as well.

However, Jonathan did not wish to be too involved with her. His instinct told him that Leslie would bring trouble in the future.

Leslie ignored what Jonathan said. Not only did she not leave, but she continued sitting there and lit a cigarette.

“I’m not doing anything to you. Besides, you don’t own this place, right?” Leslie retorted coolly.

Jonathan could not find any reason to rebuke her and decided to let her be.

“You’re one interesting person.” Leslie puffed out a ring of smoke and laughed. “In terms of looks, I may not outshine the celebrities or models, but I’m definitely considered pretty. Usually, men will try all means to get close to me when they see me. But you’re the total opposite, treating me as if I’m a monster. Why? Are you afraid that I will eat you up?”

“Are you done?” Jonathan raised his head, visibly irked. “Since you can guess my identity based on those records, do you understand what a martial arts grandmaster represents?”

“What?” Leslie asked with a smile. She cupped her chin with one hand while resting her elbow on the table.
