The Legendary Man novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563 The Strategy Of Respectable Families

A cold glint flashed. All the crowd saw was a blur before the young man emerged. Traveling a distance of more than twenty meters, the long sword behind his back found itself embedded into one of the soldier’s torsos. “Fire!”

After that roar, the sounds of gun firing reverberated throughout the mountain resort entrance. On the other side, the three people had shown up in front of the soldiers as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button.

With a wave of his arm, the long sword a young man wielded slashed through one of the bodies of an unlucky soldier. Moreover, half of the head of the soldier next to that one was sliced clean off.

Meanwhile, a short-haired girl tilted her head slightly, narrowly dodging a bullet that was fired. It went past between her hair, brushing her ear.

Without missing a beat, her four fingers, straightened and held together like a sword tip, stabbed into that soldier’s neck. Like a machine that had lost its power, the soldier fell limp on the floor, motionless.

Then, holding a gun’s muzzle, the girl slightly turned and slammed it onto a soldier’s head next to her. With that forceful attack, the soldier’s head caved into his torso, killing him instantly.

However, the gun the girl held was bent, so she threw it in another soldier’s face with a flick of her wrist.

As for the middle-aged man, his way of fighting was straightforward.

Although he utilized only his fists and feet, his every attack was deathly, sending them one by one off to the afterlife with every move he made. His attacks were simple yet swift and polished.

Five seconds barely passed, but sixteen lives were taken and turned into corpses.

Meanwhile, the young man dragged a near-dead soldier who had blood frothing from his nose and mouth. Then, he placed his long sword against the man’s clothes and roughly wiped the blood off the blade.

“Didn’t they say the soldiers trained by Jonathan were experienced fighters with high combat prowess? But what’s this? Why do I feel like they’re nothing?”

Staring at that soldier at his feet, who wasn’t dead yet, trying to reach for a gun, the young man thrust his long sword downward and stabbed through the soldier’s eye sockets.

Beside him, the bleary-eyed middle-aged man yawned.

“The reason Jonathan could unite all the scattered soldiers from around Chanaea was the chain reaction of the event that happened to the Whitley family ten years ago. When the respectable families wanted to gather their powers due to that incident, they summoned their forces back to their bases. Unfortunately, the damages to their people were too severe, and the respectable families had their guard up against each other too. Hence, with the fear that they might end up like the Whitley family, these respectable families did nothing to maintain social order. Jonathan merely used the opportunity to expand his forces. If not, why do you think an outcast from a prominent family in the mortal world like him could exert so much power?”

“Stop chatting, you two! Get on with our mission!” the short-haired girl gently admonished as she looked at both of them. “You don’t have to care how he gained power, but there’s one thing you need to be clear of. Jonathan Goldstein is now Chanaea’s Military God. If you think he didn’t have the qualifications to go head-on with the respectable families, why would our family leader want us to travel thousands of miles just to kidnap Jonathan’s woman as his plaything?”

After that short-haired girl spoke, the young man and the middle-aged man were a bit offended, but they couldn’t refute her.

After all, a martial artist of the Grandmaster Realm was an exalted existence in many places, let alone the three of them.

However, the mission they received was to kidnap Josephine when Jonathan was away.

Even the hooligans of the mortal world wouldn’t stoop so low to do something as despicable as that. However, that was the mission they received, so they had no choice but to carry out the orders.

Looking at the field of corpses before her, the girl reached out and picked up a hand grenade from a dead body.

“According to intel, the Independent Elite Regiment of almost three thousand men is stationed in this mountain resort. They are equipped with full gear, and our target this time is either Josephine Smith from No. 1 Villa or Sophia Goldstein from No. 2 Villa. We should divide our work. Any plans?” the girl said in a carefree manner like one would join in a leisurely chat after a meal while she walked into the mountain resort.

The young man glanced at the middle-aged man.

“Hansel, I don’t think I’m suited at things like taking people hostage. Moreover, I’ve heard rumors that Sophia is the goddess of Yaleview’s business world. How about this? After I take a look at her, I’ll kill her and, after that, help you lure the army away. How’s that?”

The middle-aged man yawned again. “I’m okay with that. However, work a little more efficiently, please. I need to catch up on my sleep later.”
