The Legendary Man novel Chapter 902

The Legendary Man Chapter 902-Shoving Paisley aside, Jonathan walked toward Charleigh and sat opposite him.

“Do you still remember me, Charleigh?” Jonathan asked him in a cold voice.

Staring back at him, Charleigh shook his head.

“I’m sure that it’s my first time seeing you. However, your aura seems quite familiar. Are you Jonathan Goldstein?” Although Charleigh’s tone was testing him, his eyes glinted with certainty.

On the other hand, Jonathan merely chuckled. He pressed his face a couple of times before it resumed its initial appearance.

A glimmer of surprise flashed across Charleigh’s eyes when he gazed at Jonathan.

“Asura, you’ve infiltrated Remdik’s territory despite the tense relationship between Remdik and Chanaea now. How bold of you!”

Jonathan looked back at Charleigh.

He could sense an invisible shield that has been surrounding Charleigh all along.

The shield did not seem to be made of spiritual energy nor was it a shield meant to protect a spiritual treasure. Rather, it seemed to be imprisoning Charleigh.

Although spiritual energy could be found universally, Adrune had a completely different system from Aploth in terms of cultivation. Even though Jonathan had witnessed it more than once, he was still fascinated by it.

“There’s no one else here, Charleigh. I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I came here especially to look for you.”

“For me?”

Charleigh was stunned for a while before letting out a soft chuckle.

“Asura, I don’t think you’re here for me. Rather, you’re here for my research outcomes, right?”

Jonathan did not shy away from the truth. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, “Since you’ve already pointed it out, I can’t possibly deny it. You know about the situation between Chanaea and Remdik. Chanaea is completely unfazed by large-scale wars on both conventional and technological fronts. However, once the cultivators are roped into the war, they will become a formidable force to contend with. They’ll pose a huge threat to my strategic commanding. I have researchers who are as insistent on human experiments as you in my team. I’ve always opposed such research and prohibited it as much as I could. However, when preparing for the war that Remdik can trigger at any moment, I realized that genetic engineering is a shortcut for obtaining power. Hence, I’ve come here to specially invite you to Chanaea. I’d like you to experiment with our men and create the most powerful warriors.”

Jonathan’s words were direct and extremely sincere.

However, Charleigh kept gazing at him with a strange and cold smirk.

“Jonathan, why do you think that I’ll be willing to help you?”

“Because you helped Remdik too,” replied Jonathan with a frown. “From my investigation of your background, you don’t care about power at all. All you want is to focus on your research.”

“Do you think that I can’t focus on my research in Remdik?” interrupted Charleigh with a cold scoff.

“You know what, Jonathan? It doesn’t matter if it’s you, the tsar, or my foolish father. You are nothing but war machines. You conjure all sorts of grand excuses to start wars, all for a single reason—your selfish desires. Regardless of how noble your reasons might sound, it’s all just for your own profits, isn’t it? You claim that you’re doing it for the people but do you think that they genuinely care about who emerges victorious? All of you are just a bunch of foolish mules acting all smart and mighty.”

Jonathan did not understand why Charleigh, who had always appeared to be so polite and dignified, was reacting in such an agitated manner.

However, he could see fury in Charleigh’s eyes.

Although it was just a hint of fury, he understood that Charleigh’s situation was not as desirable as the rumors described it to be.

Perhaps, this would be his opportunity.

“Charleigh, as long as you work with me, I can double the price that Remdik offered you.”

Charleigh shook his head upon hearing that.

“I’m a scholar and a gentleman. I will never go against the agreement that I’ve established with the tsar.”
