The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 194 Fire Upon hearing Jonathanâs remark, Timothy could not stifle a sneer. âWhat did you just say? I didnât mishear you, did I? You said you wanted to wipe the Turner family out of existence?â
Raising his voice, he then asked, âDid you all hear that? He said he wants to obliterate the Turner family!â
He acted as though he had heard the greatest joke in the world and regarded Jonathan as a fool for having such wishful thinking.
Soon, his smile faded. What replaced it was an icy look in his eyes. âJonathan Goldstein, do you know how powerful my family is? Weâre so influential that our power is beyond your imagination. Annihilate our family? Who do you think you are? Even if Kingstone Warhol were standing there, he wouldnât even dare make such a statement, much less you!â
Kingstone Warhol is a figure of no importance, even if heâs the governor of Jazona. No matter how much power he wields, he canât mobilize the Divine Dragon Guards. In the whole of Jazona, the only ones who can deploy the Divine Dragon Guards other than Zachary Lint are our family! Wipe the Turner family out of existence? Even Kingstone canât do it, let alone a worthless live-in son-in-law!
Gazing at him apathetically, Jonathan replied, âHeâs nothing. While he doesnât dare do that, it doesnât mean that I donât dare do it as well! Is it all that difficult to annihilate the Turner family?â
At that comment, Timothy doubled over in laughter. âHeâs nothing? It looks like Iâve really underestimated you, Jonathan! I initially thought that you were just a bit daring, but I never expected you to be so much more arrogant! If the governor of Jazona is nothing in your eyes, whoâs something to you? Zachary Lint? Or Asura?â
âZachary Lint is nothing either!â Jonathanâs expression was still as placid as ever. It was as though Zachary was also no more than an ant to him.
âWhat a m*ron!â
After hearing that, Timothy lost all interest.
Itâs not worth wasting my time with a fool who doesnât even care about Zachary Lint!
âAll right, I donât want to waste my breath with you anymore, Jonathan. You want to wipe the Turner family out of existence, donât you? Iâll give you a chance.â Casting the man an airy glance, he declared, âDo you see the soldiers standing behind you? There is a total of over four thousand of them. As long as you can take them all out, youâll have the opportunity to obliterate our family!â
Soon after, he eyed Jonathan as though the latter was an idiot.
Of the four thousand over soldiers standing behind him, more than a thousand are of the Divine Dragon Guards. Meanwhile, the remaining three thousand or so are mercenaries trained by our family with a kingâs ransom. Even if the King of War, Zachary Lint, were standing here, he would be equally defenseless in the face of the guns!
âI donât want to sully my hands by doing so,â Jonathan countered nonchalantly.
âDid you all hear that? He said he doesnât want to sully his hands to take you all out!â Timothy hollered to the soldiers behind the man, his eyes narrowing with menace.
When the soldiers heard him, they were instantly incandescent and roared, âYes, we heard that!â
Sneering, Timothy barked, âIn that case, I reckon you all know what to do, yes? Iâm giving you a minute to riddle him with bullets! Is that understood?â
âYes!â the soldiers bellowed at once.
The look in their eyes as they stared at Jonathan was as though his death was near at hand.
âWhy are you not acting, then?â Timothy boomed. In the next second, clicks echoed as the soldiers cocked their guns. Four thousand plus guns were then promptly pointed at Jonathan.
It was as though they would open fire all at once with a command from Timothy.
At the sight of Jonathan being held at gunpoint, Timothy sneered. âDo you see that, Jonathan? If I give the order, your body will be a mass of holes before you can even plead for mercy! Are you afraid now?
If you are, I can give you a chance. As long as you get on your knees before me and grovel, I might be in a better mood and thus spare you!â
In spite of his words, a smirk graced his lips as he thought, Spare him? Thatâs impossible! From the instant he stepped in the door, I had no plans of allowing him to walk out of here alive!
In truth, he only said that because he wanted to humiliate Jonathan as much as possible before the man breathed his last.
He wanted to see him kneeling before him and entreating him for mercy like a dog. Then, he would give the order to have him eliminated.
Yet, Jonathan glanced at him coolly and replied, âYouâre giving me a chance? In that case, Iâll do the same. If you fall on your knees before me and grovel before my temper spikes, Iâll grant you a quick and painless death!â
Timothyâs face darkened when he heard his last sentence, and he screeched, âHow dare you? I actually wanted to give you a chance, but youâre determined to court death! Since thatâs the case, Iâll send you to meet your maker! Just go and die!â
Having said that, he no longer bothered to yak with the man anymore.
He waved his arm and ordered, âFire!â
âRoger!â
With that command, the soldiers aimed their guns at Jonathan in concert, their fingers on the trigger.
At that exact moment, Jonathan said, âWait a moment.â
At the sound of his voice, disdain manifested on Timothyâs face. âWhy, are you finally fearful? And here I thought you were truly unafraid of death, but it turns out that youâre still a coward! Ultimately, youâre no different from this bunch of dogs from the Smith family!â
âNo, youâve misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you that youâve missed out on the chance I gave you.
Itâs almost time, so they should be here soon!â Jonathan announced, casting him an impassive look.
Immediately, he turned and gazed out at the vast sea of pitch darkness outside the warehouse.
âCome on in.â
âCome on in?â
The moment Timothy heard those words, a glimmer of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Donât tell me he arranged for an ambush outside? No, thatâs impossible!
In the blink of an eye, he dismissed that notion.
Iâve already stationed a ton of soldiers to stand guard outside the warehouse, so I wouldâve been alerted at once if someone were lying in wait outside. Furthermore, more than four thousand soldiers are standing at the door, so it doesnât matter even if thereâs an ambush outside!
âAll right, drop the act, Jonathan! Even if the president himself comes here today, he wouldnât be able to save you!â In an instant, his gaze went chilly, and he ordered in a booming voice, âFire!â
âRoger!â
Following the order, the thousands of soldiers readied themselves to pull the trigger.
However, an ear-splitting noise abruptly rang out beyond the door and interrupted them.
