The Legendary Man novel Chapter 784

The Legendary Man Chapter 784-Jonathan kept his voice low, but to Caspian, his words were as terrifying as a devil’s whisper from the depths of hell.

He had been on vacation at Newcove Sanatorium when he was suddenly captured and brought to his current location. During their journey, Kaga tortured him to extract information. However, he had kept his mouth shut and refused to disclose anything at all.

When he heard Jonathan’s words, Caspian finally understood why he had been captured.

The realization did not calm his thoughts. On the contrary, it made him even more fearful.

The poison in the weapon was not concocted by him. Naturally, he did not have an antidote on hand.

Jonathan’s face hardened when he noticed Caspian’s lips quivering.

“Caspian, we are all soldiers here. It’s nothing personal; just loyalty to our own motherland. If we were to meet on the battlefield, I would definitely kill you without hesitation, but since this is about a private matter, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. After all, you are not a key person in this conflict. All I want from you is the antidote. If you give it to me, I’ll let you go,” Jonathan said coolly.

Caspian’s face turned red in panic and desperation flooded his eyes.

“Jona… No, I mean, Asura!” Caspian called out to Jonathan in a shaky voice. “The poison wasn’t made by me. I got it from the High Priestess.”

The High Priestess?

Jonathan frowned and turned to Kaga and Hossom who were flanking him.

Although Chanaea and the West Region had been at war all year long, Jonathan’s understanding of the West Region was limited to its military structure.

The West Region was a country with complex religious beliefs. People of the West Region subscribed to a wide array of different religions. Even if Jonathan wanted to understand better, he did not have the time to learn them all.

As such, he had utterly no clue about the identity of the High Priestess.

On the other hand, Hossom and Kaga’s expressions shifted when they heard about the High Priestess.

However, both of them wore a different expression.

Kaga’s usual carefree and fearless look was replaced with a solemn frown.

Hossom, on the other hand, met Jonathan’s eyes for a brief second. Then, he quickly averted his gaze.

It was obvious that he was hiding something.

Kaga, too, cast a meaningful look at Hossom.

“Caspian, this High Priestess that you’re talking about… It’s not the one who’s stationed in the Newcove Bazar Temple all year round, right?”

“Yes, that’s her!” Caspian exclaimed, nodding fervently. “She was the one who gave me the poison. I don’t have the antidote with me…”

“Are you telling the truth?”

Kaga’s figure moved in a flash. Without a moment’s hesitation, she thrust her dagger all the way into Caspian’s thigh.

Kaga had not missed. She had pierced Caspian’s artery directly.

Caspian howled in pain.

The four Grandmasters standing outside the door manifested spirit shields to muffle Caspian’s voice and block his exit.

Kaga stared directly into Caspian’s eyes. Slowly and deliberately, she twisted the dagger in her hand, tormenting the man.

“Caspian, I’ll you give one final chance. Your wound is not fatal. If you hand over the antidote now, we’ll drop you at the nearest hospital. You will still regain full use of your leg with just one simple surgery. However, if I turn this dagger sideways, your leg will be completely useless. Think clearly before you open your mouth again.”

Kaga twisted the dagger slowly. Even Jonathan and Hossom felt their skins crawl looking at the blood that pooled between Caspian’s legs.

It did not escape Jonathan’s notice that Kaga wasn’t actually extorting a confession from Caspian but instead was reluctant to face the so-called High Priestess.
