Chapter 56 Are They Sick Of Living
“Did you all hear that? What did he just say? He said he’ll send us to meet our maker?” A glimmer of contempt glinted in the middle-aged man’s eyes when he heard Jonathan’s words. “Lad, I’ll give you another chance. Rethink your words and repeat that again. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to have my men tie you up and throw you into the Goda River to feed the fishes!”
He didn’t take Jonathan seriously at all.
What a joke! We’re all retired special forces Edenic Heights hired at a king’s ransom! Before we were discharged from the military, we all killed people, our hands stained with blood! Yet, this snot-nosed kid dared to threaten us?
“What an idiot!”
Not in the mood to bicker with them, Jonathan propped his hand against the banister lightly and vaulted down the stairs.
At the sight of his action, the middle-aged man’s gaze promptly turned wintry. “Get him! Break his legs so that he’ll know that Edenic Heights isn’t a place someone like him could trespass!”
“Understood!”
Following that command, more than a dozen guards immediately charged forward with batons in their hands.
In the next second, a thud rang out.
Before the guard in the lead could even raise the baton in his hand, Jonathan kicked him in the stomach.
With that kick, he flew back like a kite whose string had snapped and hit the wall hard.
Splutter! After spewing blood, the guard’s head lolled to the side, and he passed out right then and there.
“Hmm?”
The moment the middle-aged man glimpsed Jonathan’s movements, his expression changed in a flash. Before he could say anything, however, a snap echoed in the room. Another guard’s leg was broken with a kick from Jonathan.
“Who on earth are you, lad?” The middle-aged man’s expression became exceedingly grim, for he knew all too well the capabilities of those few subordinates of his.
They’re all ruthless people who have taken lives, yet they couldn’t even withstand a single move from him?
“You don’t even know who I am, yet you dared to seek me out and act all impudent in front of me?” Jonathan’s voice turned glacial.
As his leg shot forward, the guard before him instantly slammed into the door with a thud as though having been hit by a train.
The impact even caused a huge dent in the door.
“Guys, stop and let me go at him instead!” Realizing that the dozen of guards weren’t Jonathan’s match at all, the middle-aged man called a halt, a layer of frost blanketing his eyes.
He planned to make a move personally.
“Lad, I don’t care who you are, but I’ll have you know today that Edenic Heights isn’t a place you can come as you please!”
After saying that, he leaped into the air and shot his leg out at Jonathan’s chest.
That kick carried such immense force that it could even puncture a steel plate.
Surprisingly, Jonathan streaked away no sooner had he shot his leg out. Swinging his right hand lightly, the man slapped him across the face instead.
A crisp slap reverberated in the room, and he was knocked out of mid-air to the ground.
The materialization of a bright red palm print on his face was accompanied by a booming noise as he crashed onto the ground.
That slap had blood trickling out of his mouth and even knocked out a few of his teeth.
