The Legendary Man novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Straightforward And Brutal Method

Jonathan was taken aback after listening to that gangster’s words.

He thought those people were targeting him. Unexpectedly, they were there to attack Leslie, so he was merely unlucky to have been dragged into that mess.

He turned to look at Leslie, who was wearing a dazed facial expression.

“Blackey? Blackey Carlson from Mirage Plaza?” she questioned that gangster coldly while rubbing the area on her neck, which Jonathan had grabbed earlier.

“That’s right. We received this instruction from Blackey.” Evidently, the gangster was enduring a lot of pain at that moment, as the veins on his forehead bulged and pulsated. “That’s all I know. I beg you. Please let us go. We are only executing an order from somebody else. We did not want to harm a police officer too.”

“You still intend to roam free after making a commotion while wielding weapons to gang up on a police officer in a party of more than three people? I suggest you mentally prepare yourselves to face eight or ten years in prison,” Leslie replied impassively.

She took out her phone and dialed a number as she spoke.

“Mr. Hoffman, a group of gangsters planned a joint assault on me at the night market. I’m fine. Somebody saved me. The gangsters have been subdued. Hurry up and send some men over. I’ll be waiting here—”

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Crisp, loud sounds reverberated in the air again.

A horrible stench quickly wafted out. Leslie was dumbfounded as she gazed at those armed gangsters while still holding her phone to her ear.

Noticing those men wetting their pants, Leslie swiftly turned to look at Jonathan.

“Hey. W-What have you done?”

Jonathan answered calmly, “I did not do anything. These people slashed me with their cleavers, so I broke their spine. It is only reasonable for them to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair and suffer from incontinence.”

“You’re crazy!”

She immediately took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed his wrist without hesitation. “You are arrested for being suspected of deliberately crippling others.”

Jonathan frowned at the handcuffs on his wrists. “Ms. Hart, these people are here to kill you. I am your savior. Do you understand this?”

“I know, but this is not a reason for you to cripple them while they’ve already been held in check and cannot resist further. I am thankful that you rescued me. I will provide you with the best legal team and satisfy all your needs, but I must arrest you today. These people should be punished by the law, not by you!”

Hearing her speech, Jonathan reabsorbed the spiritual energy around him into his body.

He curled his lips upward while taking in her cool demeanor. “Leslie, I admit you are a good police officer. Regrettably, there are too few people like you in this society.”

Jonathan raised his hands and reached out to grasp the steel handcuffs. Then, exerting only minimal force, he effortlessly crushed the handcuffs in just a second.

“I used to share the same mindset as you, imagining everyone would abide by the law. However, after witnessing so many incidents, I realize the laws can never restrain some people. A ten-year-old child does not have to be sentenced to death for murder. Those elites of the society with immense authority have been living their lives without regard for the rules. I’ve gained clarity after experiencing all these things. If you seek to restore justice in this world, the first thing you need to do is to make yourself stronger. Someone who cannot guard themselves does not have the qualifications to protect others,” Jonathan elaborated while tossing the broken handcuffs into Leslie’s hands.

Despite not agreeing with everything he had mentioned, Leslie could fathom his point of view because she was born into a prominent family.

The pair of handcuffs that symbolized the law and order in her hands were shattered.

Are martial artists truly that powerful?

Staring at her bewildered appearance, Jonathan chuckled. “I’ll help you this time because of what you’ve just said. Let’s go. I’ll remove this threat for you.”

“W-Where are we going?” Leslie asked subconsciously.
