The Legendary Man novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Impersonate Him

“I’m not joking with you!” At the sight of the crowd heaping contempt on Jonathan, Josephine grew so incandescent that her eyes blazed scarlet. “Everyone at the Blackwood family’s banquet that day witnessed it! Not only me, but even my parents were there! They saw it, too!”

After saying that, she turned to Connor and urged, “Dad, tell them whether I’m speaking the truth!”

Hastily nodding, Connor stated, “Yes, it’s true! I saw it with my own eyes!”

Snorting, Ezra retorted, “At the end of the day, it’s just your entire family standing witness, no? You’re a family, so even if you make up stories, no one will expose you! He forced the patriarch of the Blackwood family to apologize on his knees, you said? Why don’t you say that he was also the one who banished them from Jadeborough?”

He snickered, not believing Josephine in the least.

Following his words, however, Josephine replied coldly, “You’re right. It was indeed with a single word from him that the Blackwood family was banished from Jadeborough!”

“Oh wow, go on acting!” Eyeing her as though she wasn’t quite right in the head, Ezra mocked, “The Blackwood family has been banished from Jadeborough anyway, so no one will step out and refute you no matter what you say! Anything you say goes!”

“You’re simply unreasonable!” Josephine had no retort left at his persistent comebacks. Just then, Miguel, who hadn’t said anything thus far, spoke out of the blue. “Josephine, you said it was Jonathan who resolved the Smith family’s crisis?”

“Yes!” Josephine maintained with an emphatic nod.

“Nonsense!” Miguel chided before he continued sharply, “It was my friend from Jazona who resolved the Smith family’s crisis! How could it possibly be him? Does he even have the capability to do so?”

When Jonathan heard that, he couldn’t help sniggering. “Your friend? Where’s that friend of yours?”

Harrumphing, Miguel declared, “He’s right here! If he hadn’t told me personally that he was the one who resolved the Smith family’s crisis this time, I might have truly been taken in by the two of you!”

While saying that, he strode toward a middle-aged man sitting at the front. “Mr. Field!”

“Yeah.”

The middle-aged man, Sammy Field, nodded with a haughty look on his face.

“See? This is that friend of mine, Mr. Field, the eldest son of the Field family. He has vast connections in Jazona, far beyond someone like you could ever imagine!” Casting Jonathan a chilly look, Miguel added, “If it weren’t for him having some connections with the King of War and successfully persuading the man himself to do him a favor, do you think the Blackwood family would have easily let us off the hook, let alone gotten banished from Jadeborough? Do you think you could’ve booted the Blackwood family out of the city if Mr. Field hadn’t done anything?”

He regarded Jonathan glacially, his gaze so penetrating that it was as though he was determined to expose a liar.

“Actually, it was just the King of War doing me a paltry favor.” Sammy waved a hand with a humble expression on his face. Regretfully, his humility was simply rendering him a fool in Jonathan’s eyes.

Glancing at the man placidly, Jonathan murmured, “The Field family? I’ve never heard of them! You said you’re acquainted with Zachary, yes? Fine. Give him a call, and we’ll see whether he’ll corroborate your story!”

Sammy snorted with disdain etched on his face. “Do you think anyone can simply give the King of War a call? Do you think he’s got nothing better to do like you? Even if it were me, I’ve got to make an appointment a few days in advance if I want to contact him!”
