The Legendary Man novel Chapter 792

The Legendary Man Chapter 792-Hossom’s question was exceedingly blunt, yet that was also the crux of the matter.

Why is Jonathan doing this? If we go with the plan he proposed earlier, he would need to lure all four divine messengers of the Bazar Temple away during the entire kidnapping process for the sole purpose of helping me gain entry into the temple. That’s wholly a sacrifice on his part. But considering our relationship, in which he even sets me up during conversations, that clearly doesn’t make sense. Therefore, he must have some other objective for doing so.

With his brows knitted together deeply, he scrutinized Jonathan, attempting to glean something from the latter’s eyes.

Alas, his efforts proved futile at the end of the day.

Perhaps there wasn’t much of an age difference between Jonathan and Hossom, but the former was far too adept at keeping his emotions under wraps.

It wasn’t that he was devious, but he had truly experienced too much throughout the past few years he held authority over Asura’s Office.

As a matter of fact, a person’s status and environment could shape his temperament. Jonathan had always been in the eye of the storm, so he had long since cultivated the habit of remaining impassive.

Staring at Hossom across from him, Jonathan hesitated for a while before admitting, “Needless to say, I won’t be paving the way for you for nothing, Hossom. Seeing that I’m going to lure most of the forces of Bazar Temple away, I’ve got a favor to ask of you.”

When Hossom heard that the man wanted to use him, he let out a sigh of relief.

After interacting with Jonathan for a long time, he was already familiar with the latter’s character. If the man wanted to use him, it would definitely be beneficial to them both.

It might be accompanied by danger, but Jonathan would undoubtedly shield him if anything happened.

That was already proven when Vikas located Jonathan in Springwyn back then.

At that time, if Hossom were in his shoes, it would be an unquestionable choice for him to sacrifice others to save himself.

Yet, Jonathan merely stepped forward without mentioning a single word about Hossom in the car.

From that alone, one could tell that the man could be trusted as a collaboration partner in spite of his craftiness.

When one teamed up with him, all the terms would be laid out clearly on the table.

If one were to end up on the losing end or tricked, he would have no one to blame save himself. In other words, even if it meant his death, it would be a risk he knowingly took.

On the contrary, if Jonathan had smilingly told Hossom that he was helping him unconditionally, that would have been utterly suspicious.

Jonathan studied Hossom in front of him. Subsequently, he cast his gaze out the window at the statue of Seboxia standing tall in the night sky, falling into silent contemplation.

“According to your information, there would undoubtedly be a divine messenger by Prima’s side. Although I’ve never had any contact with divine messengers in West Region, those who can attain such positions would definitely be superior to ordinary cultivators of the God Realm in one way or another. Thus, I reckon that I might not necessarily be able to eliminate even one or two of them if I were to face off against them or kidnap Prima.”

“In that case, why did you suggest such a plan? How will you defeat all four of them when even one or two is a problem to you?”

Hossom eyed Jonathan with a frown, his gaze brimming with puzzlement.

In his opinion, the man’s plan was tantamount to courting death.

Unexpectedly, Jonathan flashed him a wide grin.

“That’s why I need your cooperation.”

As soon as those words rang out, Hossom was entirely stunned.

Pointing at himself, Hossom questioned, “Me? Stop joking with me. I’m just a cultivator of the Grandmaster Realm. What can I do to help you?”

“As long as I lure everyone away and you enter Bazar Temple, you’ll be able to help me,” Jonathan revealed with a smile.

Thereafter, he added, “Don’t forget this, Hossom—I might not be able to kill them anytime soon, but the same goes for them. As long as I can delay them, you can then sneak into the temple. All that’s needed is a fire.”

While saying that, he took out the magical item that was the flaming stick and flicked it lightly. In a flash, a fist-sized flame appeared in the air.
