The Legendary Man novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Do Not Tell Your Sister

Utter silence reigned in the entire private room.

Everyone in the room flushed bright red after hearing Jonathan’s remark.

Nana, especially, was gripped by the urge to crawl into a hole.

Phew!

Fenrir heaved a sigh of relief when Jonathan left. The first thing he did after climbing to his feet was to slap Charles across the face. “Da*n you! Do you know that you almost killed me?”

That blow had Charles stumbling on his feet and almost falling to the ground.

“Mr. Fenrir, I-” Charles covered his face with a hand, not even daring to utter a word of protest.

“Cut that crap! From today on, don’t ever mention my name out there anymore! If I learn that you used my name anywhere in Jadeborough, I’ll break your legs!”

After saying that, Fenrir pushed open the door and left without sparing him another glance.

When he went downstairs, he happened to bump into Harrison, who had just seen Jonathan to his car. The moment he saw the man, he swiftly acted servile and inquired, “Mr. Seymour, what exactly is Mr. Goldstein’s identity?”

He didn’t dare ask when others were there just now. Since there was no one then, he finally mustered the courage to give voice to the question playing in his mind.

“You’re not worthy to know his identity!” Casting him a wintry look, Harrison added, “You only need to know that certain death awaits all who offends him. Even I will be doomed if I were to offend him, let alone you! You know of the Blackwood family, don’t you? Their influence in Jadeborough is substantial, no? But still, they ended up being banished from the city after offending him!”

“Mr. Seymour, are you saying that he was the person who banished the Blackwood family from Jadeborough?” In an instant, Fenrir’s vision went black, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

I’ve heard that some big fish came to Jadeborough a few days ago, his power and influence so great that the Blackwood family in Jadeborough is no more than a dog in front of him! But never had I thought that he would turn out to be a young man who’s only in his twenties!

And so, the entire debacle drew to an end with Jonathan’s departure.

Sitting in the car, Emmeline couldn’t resist sneaking glances at Jonathan.

It’s really difficult to assimilate the worthless bum from three years ago to the “Mr. Goldstein” who had Harrison falling to his knees before him. After all, who is Jonathan? He’s a deadbeat! Back then, if it weren’t for the Smith family supporting him for a whole year, he would’ve probably starved on the streets ages ago! But if that’s true, why would Harrison kneel to him? Even I have heard of the man, and he’s a savage character! It’s rumored that dozens of people died at his hand, the number hitting at least a hundred!

“Just ask whatever’s playing on your mind,” Jonathan murmured, Emmeline’s surreptitious peeks driving him crazy.

“W-Who are you?” Emmeline gave voice to her question while biting her lip.

“I’m your brother-in-law,” Jonathan replied casually.

“No, that’s not what I meant-” Emmeline turned exceedingly frantic.

“I know. You want to ask why Harrison kneeled before me, no?” Jonathan commented, glancing at her nonchalantly.

“Yes!” Emmeline hurriedly nodded.

“If I hadn’t taken your presence into consideration, he might not have been able to appease me even if he had gotten to his knees today,” Jonathan remarked airily.

Does falling to one’s knees have any use in resolving the problem? If it weren’t for me being there today, she would’ve been sullied by that da*n fatty!
