The Legendary Man novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649 The Fall

Realizing Geoffrey had forced her to swallow a bunch of micro-explosives, Nina felt as if she was about to go mad. Unlike her, Geoffrey was a sea of calm.

“Since I’m no match for you in combat, there’s no other way to make sure you follow orders.” With that, he turned around and headed out.

“The same old rules apply. Move outside a ten-meter radius, you’ll explode. Just so you know, I have a heart-rate monitor on me. In the event my heart stops beating, the bombs will also go off.”

“I…”

The desire to kill Geoffrey burned within Nina. However, on the account of the explosives, she resigned herself to leaving with Geoffrey while enduring the excruciating pain she felt.

Upon stepping out of the room, she glared at Jonathan before following her captor into the elevator. Standing opposite her, Zebedee was gripped with shock underneath the indifferent expression on his face.

Jonathan is covering Nina’s retreat? The greatest spy that Jetroina has trained managed to embed herself by Jonathan’s side?

“I’ll hold Jonathan back. The rest of you, split up and escape.” Zebedee changed his plan upon the realization. In Jetroina, he was known as the holy master and revered by all.

As he possessed the cultivation level of advanced phase God Realm, the absence of any rivals allowed his ego to swell uncontrollably.

Naturally, he didn’t fear Jonathan and was confident in his ability to defeat the latter. Nonetheless, it wasn’t lost upon him that with Nina by Jonathan’s side, he could strike at the latter at a time of his own choosing.

Killing Jonathan there and then would have resulted in Nina’s efforts going to waste.

Upon the loss of Jonathan, a new military leader would be chosen to lead Asura’s Office. As a consequence, additional time and effort would be required to find out his identity, more so if an assassination was needed.

Therefore, between an unknown enemy and one who could easily be tracked, even a fool could see the latter as the obvious choice.

Unfortunately, it never crossed Zebedee’s mind that Nina wasn’t with Jonathan by choice.

Instead, she was now a pawn in both Jonathan and Geoffrey’s hands.

Given that her life was in grave danger, there was no way she could still act as a spy, let alone deliver information.

Those were the results of the strange coincidence that occurred.

Nevertheless, neither Jonathan nor Zebedee had a full picture of what was truly going on.

Amidst Zebedee’s instructions for his subordinates to retreat, Jonathan pulled out a tortoise shell from his storage ring.

With a fling of his arm, the tortoise shell expanded rapidly in the air until it sealed off the entire corridor.

Knocking on the impregnable tortoise shell, Jonathan broke into a devious smile.

“What do you think? There’s no escape for you. Now, die!”

Dissolving into an afterimage, Jonathan lunged at the Grandmasters with his sword.

Clang!

As the Heaven Sword and broken blade smashed into each other, Jonathan and Zebedee broke away upon the impact.

With a flick of his wrist, Jonathan whipped out two short blades and sent them flying at another two men.

In response, Zebedee let flew two darts to intercept Jonathan’s blades.

At that moment, both Jonathan and Zebedee had a clear understanding of the situation.

If both of them were to engage each other, their battle would likely end in a stalemate.

However, if Jonathan were to target the Grandmasters first, he would be able to slaughter all of them within a few minutes.

Once Zebedee was the only one left, Jonathan planned to defeat the old man through a brutal battle of attrition.

Having seen through Jonathan’s intent, Zebedee’s main goal now was to hold the man off and protect his subordinates’ retreat.

Even though they had been exposed and had compromised the mission to sever the Eastern Army’s supply lines, these Grandmasters were still capable of wrecking enough chaos to overwhelm Asura’s Office if they were allowed to infiltrate Doveston.

“Leave through the rooms’ windows. Quick!” Zebedee instructed.

No sooner had Team Oracle heard the instructions than they swarmed into the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
