The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 192 Are You Threatening Me Following that, a blinding light illumined the whole of No. 1 Villa, lighting every single corner of the mansion.
Under that glaring light, a middle-aged man in a military uniform strode in.
As soon as he entered, countless soldiers in military fatigues rushed in from behind him with guns in their hands, occupying the entire mansion.
The moment they barged in, they aimed the muzzle of their guns right at Jonathan and Josephine in the living room.
âWho are you?â Jonathan glanced at the middle-aged man placidly without a hint of panic in his eyes.
Hearing his question, the middle-aged man eyed him coldly and snapped, âYou donât need to know that! Are you Jonathan Goldstein?â
âYes,â Jonathan answered evenly.
âThen she must be Josephine Smith, right?â the middle-aged man demanded with his eyes fixated on Josephine.
âThatâs right.â
Jonathan nodded nonchalantly.
âSeize them!â the middle-aged man promptly ordered with a wave of his hand after obtaining the answer from Jonathan. It was as though he could not even be bothered to say another word with him.
In an instant, the dozens of soldiers behind him stepped forward without hesitation to capture Jonathan and Josephine.
Despite noticing their approach, Jonathan remained unruffled. He merely regarded the middle-aged man apathetically before drawling, âThe Turner family sent you, didnât they?â
âOh? Why would you say that?â The middle-aged man was suddenly intrigued when he heard that.
âThe uniforms youâre all wearing arenât that of the regular military troops. Since youâre not of the Divine Dragon Guards, then you can only be mercenaries.â Casting him a dispassionate look, Jonathan continued, âAnd in the whole of Jazona, only the Turner family who dubbed themselves the vice governorâs office has a private army and holds a grudge against me. Howâs that? Am I right?â
After hearing his deduction, the middle-aged man retorted with a snort, âSo what if youâre right? Since you know as much, youâd better surrender. Otherwise, you might be shot!â
âAre you threatening me?â Jonathan guffawed, not in the least bit concerned about the soldiers.
Even if tens of thousands of soldiers were pointing their guns at me right now, I wouldnât panic at all, let alone dozens of soldiers! Back when I led the Four Asura Guards into battle all over the world, I never once retreated in the face of millions of soldiers. Yet, he wants to intimidate me with such a small group?
The middle-aged man sneered in response. âThreatening you? Do you think Iâm trying to scare you?
Kid, you think too highly of yourself! Youâre not worthy enough to be threatened by me! Do you know how many more men Iâve got outside? Weâve taken over the entire Edenic Heights! With an order from me, the whole of No. 1 Villa will be riddled with bullets, including you!â
âThe number of men youâve got makes no difference to me. Itâs the same whether I take a single life or a thousand lives.â Subsequently, Jonathan looked at him blithely and said, âHasnât anyone told you that I hate having a gun pointed at me?â
Right after he said those words, he moved so fast that he was merely a black silhouette flashing past.
A second later, the snap of a bone breaking pierced the air. Before the middle-aged man could even realize what had happened, his kneecap had been smashed from Jonathanâs kick.
âAh!â
A howl of anguish reverberated around the living room, followed by a thud.
The middle-aged man had fallen to his knees before Jonathan.
âI told you. I hate it when someone points a gun at me.â Jonathan shot him a frosty look. With a flick of his wrist, he grabbed the manâs wrist and twisted it hard. Another snap rang out as he broke the latterâs wrist.
âKill him! Finish him off!â the middle-aged man roared as though he had lost his mind from the excruciating pain.
At his order, the dozens of soldiers promptly lifted the guns in their hands and pointed them at Jonathan.
They were only awaiting the order to fire, whereupon they would pull the trigger at once.
âIâd like to see who among you have the guts to shoot!â Grunting, Jonathan wrapped a hand around the middle-aged manâs neck. As he applied pressure, the latter instantly could not breathe and almost suffocated.
âK-Kill himâ¦â The middle-aged man gasped for breath, seemingly on the verge of suffocating anytime.
âDo you believe me if I say youâll surely die before they can open fire?â Jonathan looked at him coldly, then swept his gaze across the dozens of soldiers and barked, âPut down your guns!â
His bellow terrified the dozens of soldiers so badly that they almost dropped their guns.
When his frosty gaze bore into them, especially, they felt as though they had been plunged into icy waters.
âIâm going to count to three. If you donât lower your guns, heâll be dead! One! Two! Three!â
After the last count, Jonathan tightened his grip around the middle-aged manâs neck. In an instant, the latterâs air supply was cut off, and his eyes even rolled back.
At the scene unfolding before them, the soldiers exchanged glances before they finally decided to put down the guns in their hands.
âThatâs more like it. I really detest having guns pointed at me!â The second they lowered their guns, Jonathan likewise dropped his hand from the middle-aged manâs neck. However, he kicked him, causing the latter to fall to his knees before him.
Having done so, he assured, âDonât worry; I wonât kill you. I just donât like it when someone else points a gun at me. Mr. Turner wants to see me, doesnât he? It so happens that Iâd like to meet him as well.
Letâs go!â
He then grabbed the middle-aged man by the neck and lifted him off the ground before warning, âI donât mind going with you, but you canât take her anywhere!â
Naturally, he was referring to Josephine.
âNo way!â The middle-aged man reflexively rebuffed him when he heard that.
My orders were to capture both Jonathan Goldstein and Josephine Smith! How am I going to explain myself if I only bring him back?
âHmm?â
Jonathanâs gaze turned glacial, scaring the middle-aged man so much so that his legs went weak.
After all, he was a soldier in name only. Although he usually commanded thousands of mercenaries, he had never been to the battlefield. Being under the younger manâs gaze, he suddenly felt as though a venomous snake had set its sight on him.
That was not all, for he even felt that if he dared object, the man would kill him without the slightest hesitation in the next second.
âFine!â
He swallowed hard, not having the guts to protest in the end.
âLetâs go!â
Jonathan then walked toward the door with his hand around the middle-aged manâs neck. However, no sooner had he taken a few steps than Josephine called out to him, âJonathan!â
âDonât worry. Iâll be back in a jiffy.â
Glancing over his shoulder, Jonathan flashed her a reassuring look before he strolled out of No. 1 Villa.
Right after he stepped out of the door, he was greeted by a few thousand guns pointed straight at him.
