The Legendary Man novel Chapter 634

Chapter 634 Ascension

Jonathan’s words caused Geoffrey to fall into deep thought. Thereafter, he—without any hesitation—picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed it into Seamus’ neck, causing him to struggle violently before breathing his last.

It was then that Jonathan gave Geoffrey an icy stare. “Geoffrey, this is the time I need the intelligence network. Hence, you had better have a d*mn good reason for killing him.”

Getting back up to his feet, Geoffrey turned toward Jonathan. “Mr. Goldstein, I did it because I want to take over his role as chief of Terrandya’s intelligence network. Although Seamus is now dead, I alone am sufficient to fill his shoes.” “You?”

Jonathan chuckled at Geoffrey.

“After listening to your backstory, I don’t deny that you’re superior to Seamus when it comes to being cunning and ruthless. Having said that, it also means that you’re a loose cannon on top of the fact that you’re capable enough to control the intelligence network of Terrandya.”

“Mr. Goldstein, I understand your concerns, but I can prove myself to you,” Geoffrey replied with a smug smile.

“Over the last two years, Seamus has gathered a tremendous amount of wealth, estimated to be in the hundreds of billions. That was the reason why he became extraordinarily cautious after the incident at Mysonna. He feared offending either side. Furthermore, I was the one managing Terrandya’s intelligence network over the last year, even though he was officially in charge. Now that he’s dead, I’m entirely capable of taking over without any disruptions.”

The confidence Geoffrey demonstrated gave Jonathan food for thought.

This young man might have the demeanor of a jovial university student, but this is the first time I have seen someone display such sharpness and brutality. A person like that is no different from a double-edged sword, extremely effective when pointed in the right direction but dangerous when wielded wrongly. Seamus had learned it the hard way.

After dwelling on the matter, Jonathan finally spoke.

“In that case, is being the chief of Terrandya’s intelligence network your answer to the one wish I grant you?”

Jonathan assumed that Geoffrey’s sole goal was to take over Seamus’ role.

Little did he expect to see the latter shake his head.

“Mr. Goldstein, if you hadn’t appeared, I would’ve taken over Terrandya’s intelligence network after killing Seamus anyway. But now that you’re here, why shouldn’t I go for broke? Since you owe me a debt of gratitude, I would like to join Asura’s Office as a core member once the matter in Terrandya has been resolved.”

Jonathan was suddenly intrigued by Geoffrey’s suggestion.

He had previously recognized the latter’s extraordinary talent but still didn’t expect Geoffrey to make such an audacious wish.

Asura’s Office might have been established for three years, but its core still comprised the same batch of followers from the very beginning.

It was a situation where Jonathan lacked the courage to do so than the political will.

Asura’s Office’s rapid expansion had ignited jealousy and fear amongst many other factions within Chanaea.

Even if Jonathan wanted to take in new blood now, he still had no way of discerning where the loyalty of these new members lay.

If any of them were to turn out to be a mole for other prominent families or Yaleview, it would result in the destruction of Asura’s Office from within.

Considering the circumstances, Jonathan suddenly saw hope and opportunity in Geoffrey.

“Geoffrey, since your wish wasn’t for me to look past your mistakes, what makes you think that I would spare you?”
