The Legendary Man
Chapter 112 Showing Off âOh? How big is it?â Jonathan asked plainly when he heard the remarks made by the lady in heavy makeup.
âHmph, how big? You might pee your pants if I tell you,â the lady sneered. âThe Ximenez family owns businesses in every corner of Jazona with assets worth billions. Even the governor of Jazona, Kingstone, has to personally receive Kyson and his father. Furthermore, his brother, Hendrick Ximenez, dominates both legal and underground circles. Have you heard of Hendrick the Terrible?â
Hendrick the Terrible is Kysonâs elder brother?
The moment they heard the name, the studentsâ expressions drastically changed.
I heard Hendrick the Terrible is a famous gangster in Jazona. He is someone ruthless and has taken many lives throughout the years.
All this while, they were aware of the moniker Hendrick the Terrible. It was just that they didnât know he was Kysonâs brother.
âI have not heard of him before.â Jonathan took a sip of his coffee. âAre you done? Is that all there is to the Ximenez family? Whatâs the big deal?â
Whatâs the big deal?
In response, the lady looked at Jonathan as if he was an idiot.
How can the Ximenez family, who owns billions of assets and is extremely well-connected in Jazona, not mean anything to Jonathan?
She wasnât alone in her sentiments.
Everyone else looked at Jonathan as if he was a fool.
In fact, some of them even thought that he was crazy.
How dare a gofer at a construction site trivialize the Ximenez family? Does he have a death wish?
Does he know that they can squash him like an insect anytime they want?
âHah, I hope you can still maintain the arrogance you have right now for later,â the lady sneered at Jonathanâs words. âPlease make sure you donât end up begging on your knees later. Or else, I will look down on you!â
âStop it!â When Josephine heard the ladyâs sarcastic comments, she couldnât help but snap, âAre you done yet?â
âWhatâs wrong? First, your husband beats up someone, and now, you refuse to let us criticize him?â the lady retorted with a sarcastic tone. âLook at how badly your husband has beaten up Mr. Ximenez. How is he going to join the film crew for work tomorrow?â
At that moment, someone from the crowd questioned the lady, âWhat has that got anything to do with you?â
âIâm sure none of you are aware that Lily is the female lead in Kysonâs new movie,â another lady remarked with a smirk. âIf Kyson canât continue filming, her role would naturally be jeopardized.â
âOh? Lily is the female lead? Does she and Kyson have some sort of clandestine arrangement?â
The crowd gazed suspiciously at both Lily and Kyson, causing Kyson to blush in response.
Obviously, someone had struck her nerve. âShut up and stop making wild speculations. Mr. Ximenez has a girlfriend, for goodness sake.â
âSo what if he has one? Thatâs doesnât stop both of you from cheating together.â
âExactly, but donât worry, we will not tell Kysonâs girlfriend about it.â
The crowd began cracking jokes at Lily and Kysonâs expense. Of course, if they could ridicule Jonathan, they naturally wouldnât hold back against Lily.
Given what a slut she was, there were plenty of narcissistic women who were ready to humiliate her.
âAll of you, shut your trap!â Lily was infuriated by the snide comments made by the other ladies.
Amidst their quarrel, Josephine furrowed her eyebrows. She was in no mood to care about whether Lily was in a relationship with Kyson.
Instead, she was more concerned about what was going to happen when Hendrick arrived.
After all, they were in Jazona and not Jadeborough.
In Jadeborough, Jonathan had a wide network to rely upon. Either Randall, Harrison, or Andrew was capable of resolving any problems Jonathan had.
But weâre in Jazona right now, where his contacts in Jadeborough are of no use here. What are we going to do?
Josephine was consumed by anxiety. Although she went to university in Jazona, she didnât have any friends there.
Within the entire Jazona, Tanya was her only close friend.
âJosephine, calm down. Perhaps, Jonathan has a way to solve this problem?â Tanya couldnât resist comforting her when she saw how distraught Josephine was.
âHow can I not be worried?â Josephine retorted with a frown.
After all, Hendrick was about to arrive with his men, and yet, she was still at a loss.
âWhat should we do? Why donât I give my dad a call?â Tanya, too, was stressed out by Josephineâs nervousness. âBut, but my dad is powerless against the Ximenez family.â
Her familyâs background wasnât a particularly influential one. In fact, they were even less illustrious than Josephineâs.
Her parents were just employees in an ordinary company. Hence, there was no way they could stand up to the Ximenez family.
âJosephine, why donât you get Jonathan to apologize to Kyson?â Left without a choice, that was the only thing Tanya could come up with.
After all, admitting oneâs fault was certainly better than being beaten up.
âApologize? Does Jonathan look like someone who is willing to submit?â Josephineâs frown intensified further.
Ever since he disappeared three years ago, Jonathan seems to have changed into a different person.
Apologize? Back at Phoenix International Hotel, he refused to submit even at gunpoint. Hence, thereâs no way he is going to apologize now.
âIn that case, what should we do?â Tanya gave Josephine a frantic look.
âForget it. Iâll give Grandpa a call.â Having no other choice, Josephine decided to give Hugo a call even though she had never been fond of him since she was young.
After all, Jonathan did help the Smith family once. Therefore, she felt that it wasnât too much to ask for Hugoâs help in return.
However, she wasnât sure if Hugo, who was based in Jadeborough, had the capacity to resolve a problem in Jazona.
With that thought in mind, Josephine picked up her phone and prepared to dial Hugoâs number.
Unexpectedly, the moment she took it out, Jonathan stopped her. âThereâs no need to give anyone a call. I can solve a trivial problem like this myself.â
âSolve? How are you going to do that?â When she heard Jonathanâs response, Josephine suppressed the raging anger in her and replied, âJonathan, when will you ever grow up? Can you stop being so impulsive all the time? This is Jazona, not Jadeborough. Your network there canât save you here!â
Josephine was someone who never liked to beg for help ever since she was young. However, she was so infuriated by Jonathan that she didnât even know what else to do. Given how things stood, she was even willing to do so for his sake.
Why doesnât Jonathan know better? Why must he insist on showing off still?
