Chapter 1344
The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 1344-Jonathan stared blankly at Sirius, then slowly extended a thumbs-
up.
âMr. Blackwood, youâre really easy-going, not even sparing your own core blood relativesâ¦â
âWe must eliminate him,â Sirius said with a furrowed brow. âWe canât set such a precedent. If others start to follow suit, within three generations, our family will be ruined.â
Upon hearing this, Jonathan gave a slight nod.
He had seen the same precedent back in the Goldstein family at Yaleview.
Those young talents, born into affluent families, once tainted by gambling and drugs, some would squander their family fortunes, while others ended up crippled by others.
The best outcome was to be imprisoned at home, spending the days in a daze, slowly turning oneself into a living dead.
It seemed this thing was really dangerous.
âBut that doesnât seem right,â Jonathan said, looking somewhat bewildered at Sirius. âIf Hayden has reached the Divine Realm, his Cor must be incredibly firm. Even if he has picked up bad habits due to immense pressure, his body, tempered through the God Realm, shouldnât have such a severe reaction.â
At this moment, Sirius was also somewhat bewildered upon hearing these words.
âYouâre right, that little rascal of ours, despite being a Grandmaster Realm cultivator, loses his temper when his addiction kicks in. He just smashes whatever he sees. Logically speaking, Hayden shouldnât be feeling this distressed.â
As they were speaking, Sirius happened to catch a glimpse of the storage ring on Haydenâs hand.
âAll right, letâs stop guessing. If he truly is a drug addict, then his ring would surely carry a fair amount of related items. Letâs open it up and see, then weâll know.â
Upon hearing this, Jonathan hesitated slightly. However, he then directly took off the ring from Haydenâs hand.
âHayden, please donât blame me.â
As he spoke, Jonathan reached out and forcefully wiped the ring, directly using his own mental energy to completely erase the mental energy Hayden had left on it.
Jonathan looked at Hayden but didnât see any reaction from him.
The spiritual sense within the storage ring and the magical item were closely linked with the cultivatorâs mind.
Typically, such a brutal erasure of a cultivatorâs spiritual sense would cause the cultivator to experience pain. But now, Hayden lay on the ground in absolute tranquility, not even uttering a single groan.
Jonathan turned his head to look at Sirius beside him.
âWhatâs the origin of your rune, anyway? You havenât killed someone with it, have you?â
Upon hearing this, Sirius gave Jonathan a speechless look.
âThis is a family heirloom, a rune passed down from ancient times. If it were fake, he would have been dead by now. Cut the chatter and quickly check his ring. Finding the reason for his sudden madness is what truly matters.â
Upon hearing this, Jonathan didnât say much. He immersed his spiritual sense into it and began to search carefully.
Sniper bullets, some food, magical instruments, water, clothesâ¦
As Jonathanâs spiritual sense sifted through everything, he found no trace of any medication.
âCan you actually do it or not?â
At this moment, Sirius bore no resemblance to the representative of the Blackwood family. He moved closer, snatched the ring from Jonathanâs hand, and began to search through it as if he were treasure hunting.
âThis item doesnât necessarily have to look like a pill or a medicine bottle. It could also possibly be in cartoon packaging, or simply disguised as something else entirely.â
Upon seeing Siriusâs relentless determination to find the prohibited drugs, Jonathan could only let out a helpless sigh.
Sitting next to Hayden, Jonathan reached out and once again grasped his wrist.
At this moment, Haydenâs heartbeat had completely calmed down, and his body slowly stretched out, thoroughly relaxing.
Although he couldnât figure out the exact reason for the madness, seeing that Hayden was all right, Jonathan finally felt at ease.
Perhaps it was some kind of special illness.
With these thoughts in mind, Jonathan took out some beef jerky from his storage space and began to chew on it.
âSirius, donât label all young people as bad just because your own child isnât living up to your expectations. I must say, Hayden has done well. Generations of their hard work were all for the purpose of freeing themselves from the control of families like yours. Someone like Hayden, who carries the hopes of the entire clan. Thereâs no way the venerable ancestor of the Zink family would let him touch any of that messy stuff.â
At this moment, Sirius was carefully identifying what was in the bag of food he was holding.
Upon hearing Jonathanâs words, Sirius chuckled and shook his head lightly.
âWho told you that being strict wonât lead to bad habits? That kid in our family, the one whoâs a bit off his rocker, has even more talent than Colton. He was previously groomed to be the legitimate successor of the Blackwood family, but look at what happened in the end. Do you know what excuse that kid gave when he was found out? He said the pressure was too much for him to handle!â
As Sirius spoke, he simultaneously took out an empty glass bottle from his storage ring and began to examine it carefully.
âTell me, what kind of d*mn excuse was that? We are from a respectable family. He never lacks food or drink. All we ask is for him to focus on his training, and yet he claims heâs under a lot of pressure!â
Upon hearing this, Jonathan looked at Sirius with a smile.
âKids these days want freedom, you canât just expect them to become cultivators, they might notââ
Originally, Jonathan merely glanced casually, but he never expected that this single glance would leave him utterly stunned.
âSirius!â
Jonathan shouted loudly.
Sirius was deeply engrossed in searching for something when Jonathanâs sudden shout startled him.
Drawing his gun, Sirius lowered his body like a leopard, his back to Jonathan, assuming a posture ready for battle at any moment.
The mountain breeze gently caressed as Sirius looked around, his eyes filled with caution.
âWhatâs wrong?â Sirius asked in a cold voice.
At this moment, Sirius completely entrusted his back to Jonathan. This act of trust alone spoke volumes.
But at this moment, Jonathan didnât have the time to deal with these matters. Instead, he swiftly moved to Siriusâ side.
âWhere did you find that bottle just now?â
âBottle?â Sirius frowned at Jonathan, then gently beckoned, holding the bottle from earlier in his hand again. âYou mean this one?â
Watching that familiar bottle, Jonathan snatched it from Siriusâ hand.
Upon opening it, a fleeting hint of bitterness, akin to that of mugwort, wafted through the air, as ephemeral as it was subtle.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was looking in the direction of Hayden with a serious expression on his face.
âNo need to look any further, I already know whatâs going on with him.â
Upon hearing this, Sirius picked up the bottle again, then lowered his head to smell the scent that had already dissipated within. He looked somewhat bewilderedly at Jonathan.
âThis doesnât seem like a prohibited drug, does it?â
Upon hearing this, Jonathan slightly shook his head.
âYou wonât be able to find this item on the market, not even circulating anywhere in the entire world.â
âDo you remember the eighteen-year-old girl, Ksana, I brought back from Remdik?â
Sirius pondered for a moment, âAre you referring to the girl who almost died in Merania, the one who helped you bring Charleigh back?â
âItâs her!â Jonathan said in a deep voice, âThis jar belongs to her! The thing inside is called Holy Blood.â
