Chapter 274
The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 274 It Really Is You âIs that so?â asked Jonathan indifferently since twenty million was as insignificant as twenty to him.
Even if it were two hundred million, it still would not make a difference to Jonathan, for they were just numbers to him.
Narrowing her eyes, Lydia could not believe how composed the man was. âHow can you be so calm, Jonathan? Donât you at least want to confirm if the money has been wired to you?â
âWhat for? If you got yours, then I should get mine too.â
âWell, mistakes happen sometimes. What if they missed yours? Heck, I wouldnât be surprised if they did it deliberately.â For some reason, Lydia seemed more concerned about Jonathanâs money than the man himself.
âYou donât have to worry about that. They wouldnât dare to skim my money. If Iâm even a cent short, they can kiss their underground operation goodbye.â
âAre you serious, Jonathan?â scoffed Lydia, wondering where the man got his confidence.
If these people have what it takes to run an underground boxing ring, surely they have enough influence to take Jonathanâs money from him whenever they want. They could probably even end his life just as easily. Heck, I wouldnât doubt it for a second if anybody tells me that theyâve killed a couple of guys already.
âSay something, Sophia!â Since she could not move Jonathan, Lydia decided to turn to Sophia.
âHey, snob! Lydiaâs got a point, you know? I think you should check your account just to be sure. After all, itâs not a small amount. We wouldnât want to be careless now, would we?â advised Sophia.
âFine. Letâs get it over with.â
With that, Jonathan picked up his phone to check his messages. Then, he turned the device around to show it to Sophia. âThere it is.â
âItâs all there?â exclaimed Sophia in surprise, for she did not expect to see the full amount.
âOf course. Why would I lie to you? Here. If you donât believe me, you can take a closer look yourself.â
Impatiently, Jonathan handed the woman his phone.
âLetâs see!â
As soon as she received Jonathanâs phone, Sophia scrutinized the numbers on display one by one.
Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million⦠Two hundred million!
Sophia could not believe her eyes after confirming the amount. Suddenly, it felt like she was dreaming.
Oh, my goodness! Iâve never seen so much money in my life. And yet, it only took Jonathan half an hour to make this much! This is insane!
âDo you believe me now?â Jonathan could not help but chuckle when he saw how shocked Sophia was.
In response, the woman nodded fervently before returning the phone to its rightful owner. âYes! Come on. Letâs go, Jonathan. The match is over, so there is no point sticking around any longer.â
Since she had had her confirmation, Sophia decided that it was time to leave.
She never liked the shady-looking place, to begin with. If it were not for Jonathan, Sophia would never agree to step into this place.
âSure. Letâs go.â Jonathan could tell that Sophia despised the place, so he was ready to leave with her when somebody called out to him suddenly. âJonathan!â
âHuh?â Naturally, Jonathan turned around when he heard his name, only to see Kylie and Yvette sitting not too far away from him.
Sitting next to the two young girls were a couple of short-haired teenagers about their age.
âItâs really you, Jonathan! And here I thought Iâd made a mistake!â squealed Kylie the moment Jonathan turned to look at them.
Grabbing Yvette by the hand, Kylie excitedly rushed over to the man.
âFriends of yours?â inquired Sophia curiously as she raised an eyebrow at Jonathan.
âNot really. We met on the train when I was on my way to Yaleview.â
By the time Jonathan was done speaking, the two young girls had already reached him. âWhat a coincidence, Jonathan! We meet again.â
âRight. It really is quite a coincidence!â Jonathan admitted that he too was surprised that they would meet again. Wait a minute. Arenât these two students? What are they doing at a place like this?
âYou were in such a hurry last time that we didnât even get a chance to say goodbye. Luckily we bump into you again!â stated Kylie to Jonathan before turning to tug at Yvetteâs sleeve. âI thought you said you had something you wanted to say to Jonathan. Well, nowâs the time! Go on!â
âI⦠â Staring at the man, Yvette was suddenly at a loss for words.
âIs there anything I can help you with?â Jonathan instinctively raised a brow at the teenage girl when he noticed how she had difficulty expressing herself.
The girl was more than an annoyance to him. In fact, he had grown to dislike her.
Seeing how Jonathan was starting to get impatient, Yvette quickly blurted, âI⦠I want to apologize to you. What happened last time was a misunderstanding, so I want you to know that Iâm sorry. I realized that if it werenât for you, our things wouldâve been stolen.â
âYou donât have to apologize. Is there anything else I can help you with?â Jonathan had a deadpan expression on him, clearly showing that he would like to end the conversation as soon as possible.
âNo, thatâs it.â Biting her lower lip, Yvette lowered her head disappointed, for it was obvious that the man would rather not spend another second on her.
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll be taking my leave now.â Jonathan decided that he had wasted enough time on the girls already. Had it not been for that coincidence, they probably would never have crossed each otherâs path again after leaving the train.
âHuh? Do you have to go already? Why donât you stay a little while longer?â suggested Kylie, reluctant to part ways again.
âWe have to go now.â Jonathan waved at the girl and was about to walk away when he heard a manâs voice from behind. âWhoâs that, Kylie?â
âJerry, this is the person on the train that I told you about! Heâs the one who broke all those hooligansâ
teeth and threw them out of the train!â answered Kylie excitedly.
âThatâs him?â
After listening to Kylie, the middle-aged man gave Jonathan a curious look. âMy, my. I canât imagine someone as young as you to possess such formidable skills.â
âIâm Kylieâs cousin, Jerry Walker. I canât thank you enough for what you did for Kylie and Yvette.â Jerry then extended his arm toward Jonathan to get a handshake. However, Jonathan had no such intention.
âYou donât have to thank me. It was no problem at all. I just happened to be around then.â
