The Legendary Man novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554 Ancient Hidden Sect

Staring at the men lying on the ground, Jonathan stated placidly, “Undeniably, it’s a brutal method. However, it works very well!”

On the heels of that, he appeared right in front of Leslie in a whizz before wrapping his arms around her.

Even though Leslie was convinced that Jonathan would not take advantage of her, she could not refrain from blushing crimson as she was pressed against his chest.

She put her guard up by placing her hands over her chest and stammered, “W-What are you trying to do?”

“I reckon the one who went to inform the gang leader has reached the third floor by now. Let me take you there with a shortcut,” Jonathan replied nonchalantly and leaped into the air. With that, they were high up in mid-air before ramming into the window of the third floor.

Leslie squealed at the top of her lungs. Surprisingly, they landed steadily on the ground the next second. When she opened her eyes, only then did she realize she was already standing in a room. Meanwhile, Maverick was seated on the couch opposite her, gawking at her.

The man who had gone to inform Maverick earlier was now standing at the door. He widened his eyes in disbelief as he stared at Jonathan and Leslie, not knowing what to do next.

With a wave, Jonathan dispersed the shield formed by the spiritual energy. Staring at Maverick, he asked curiously. “Are you Blackey Carlson?”

“I…” Maverick swallowed a slump down his throat and nodded. “My name is Maverick Carlson. May I know why you are looking for me?”

At the same time, Leslie finally regained her composure. She straightened her cloth before whipping out her police ID.

“Blackey Carlson, you know who I am, don’t you? You’re charged with aiding and abetting others in murdering police officers. Please follow me back for interrogation.”

“Officer, what are you talking about? I don’t get you.” Maverick rose to his feet and refuted apprehensively, “I’m operating a legal business here—”

Before Maverick could finish his words, he stood rooted to the ground as though he was a robot, and someone had controlled his movement.

Leslie turned to look in Jonathan’s direction. “Didn’t you agree to let me handle him after he’s captured?”

“Take a closer look.” Jonathan lifted his right hand as if he was holding an invisible string. With that, Maverick slowly moved his hand from his back to the front, like a puppet. Unexpectedly, there was a black gun in his hand.

“Leslie, if we were two ordinary people, he might have fired at us abruptly during your hesitation moments ago. You could’ve landed yourself in deep trouble because of your soft personality. Do you realize that?” Jonathan pointed out as he manipulated Maverick’s movement with his inner thought. In a split second, Maverick put his arm down gradually.

Bang!

After two consecutive gunshots sounded, Maverick’s legs bled profusely.

“That’s all I can help you with. Take care of the rest by yourself. Remember not to pester me again.”

The next second, Jonathan clenched his right fist, converging the pure spiritual energy surrounding Maverick. Subsequently, the spiritual energy dispersed, causing a massive explosion with a boom. In the blink of an eye, Maverick lay motionless on the ground in a bloody mess.

“Jonathan…” Leslie was about to say something. She turned around, only to find that Jonathan was already nowhere to be seen.

In the meantime, Ryan was seated in the clinic of Xenhall with sheer impatience in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the burly man Jonathan scared off earlier was whipping a woman with a belt. The woman whose arms were held by two men and was beaten to a pulp turned out to be Lynn.

The burly man pulled Lynn’s hair with a yank and bellowed, “D*mn it! Are you going to say it? Where’s the brat who backed you up yesterday?”

Lynn was on the verge of unconsciousness. Needless to say, she could not reply to the burly man’s questions, as her mind was a blur at that moment.

The burly man chastised breathlessly, “D*mn it! You’re indeed a tough nut. I’ll rip your clothes off and take you to the village to let the others look at you. I’ll see how long you can last!”
