Chapter 57 A Broken Leg And Banishment
Mr. Seymour? Is Ms. Yarrow referring to the most ruthless man in Jadeborough, Harrison Seymour?
The moment the guards heard that name, their legs went weak, and they almost dropped to their knees before Jonathan right then and there.
Everyone in Jadeborough, regardless of whether they’re the police or the triads, fear him! And this lad is actually his friend?
Recalling how they wanted to beat Jonathan up with batons earlier, they promptly broke into a cold sweat.
“Ms. Yarrow, you don’t need to go this far even if he’s Mr. Seymour’s friend, do you?” The middle-aged man couldn’t help frowning upon seeing Ivana kneeling there like a servant.
Putting aside the fact that this lad is Mr. Seymour’s friend, even if the man himself is here, she doesn’t need to go to her knees, no?
“Friend?” Ivana snorted at his remark, asserting, “Even Mr. Seymour has to kneel before him right away when he sees him, much less me!”
What? Even Mr. Seymour has to kneel before him right away when he sees him?
When the guards heard that, they felt as though the life had been sucked out of them.
Even the middle-aged man experienced a drastic change in expression after hearing that.
How could that be? Who has the right to have Mr. Seymour kneel, considering his status in Jadeborough?
“That’s impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!” The middle-aged man shook his head profusely, not believing a single word of Ivana’s absurd talk.
“Impossible?” With a cold chuckle, Ivana scoffed, “Compared to Mr. Goldstein, Harrison Seymour is nothing! Even the patriarch of the Blackwood family is nobody before him! With a single word from him, the Blackwood family was banished from Jadeborough, and even Anderson Blackwood went to his knees before him. So, do you think you are? Get down on your knees!”
Following her chastisement, the guards, whose legs had long since gone weak from fright, instantly dropped to their knees before Jonathan with a thud.
At that precise moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes abruptly went wide, and he gaped at Jonathan in disbelief.
“It was him? He was the big shot who’s rumored to have banished the Blackwood family from Jadeborough with one order?”
He simply couldn’t believe everything that had unfolded before him.
Just one order from him was sufficient to banish the forerunner of the four prominent families in Jadeborough, the Blackwood family, from the city? How much power does he wield? Even the mayor of Jadeborough doesn’t have the capability to do that! Besides, he appears to be only in his twenties. How could he be the rumored big shot who reigns supreme?
“Who else could it be if not him?” Harrumphing, Ivana snapped, “If I hadn’t come in time, do you think you’d be able to walk out of here alive? Get down on your knees!”
At that, the middle-aged man’s legs gave way, and he fell to the ground on his knees before Jonathan.
His face was ashen, and even at that very moment, he still couldn’t quite believe that the man in front of him was the rumored big cheese.
“Mr. Goldstein, I’m at fault here for having failed to keep them in line that they ended up offending you. Please forgive me!” Ivana remained kneeling on the ground meekly and begged for Jonathan’s forgiveness.
His identity is truly too mysterious that even I have no idea who exactly he is to this very day! Nonetheless, that has no bearing on his status to me. Even the mayor of Jadeborough is all timid in front of him. I’m nobody compared to the former!
“Get up!” Jonathan waved his hand lightly and murmured, “You didn’t know that I would come early, so the fault doesn’t lie with you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Goldstein!” Only after hearing that did Ivana gingerly climb to her feet.
