The Legendary Man Chapter 467 A Hundred Million Bounty âContinue searching. I want to know who hired this assassin from the Dark Web before it turns dark. I also want to know who was the one who orchestrated this!â
Jonathanâs gaze was extremely cold.
Josephine was his bottom line.
Anyone who touched her would die.
âYes, Mr. Goldstein!â Hades immediately got to his feet and retreated. But just as he was about to leave, Jonathan stopped him. âWait! Get Zachary over from Jazona. From today onward, he will be personally in charge of Josephineâs safety. And get him to settle the matters in Jazona on his own!
Also, tell him that if Josephine loses even one strand of hair, he can prepare to be thrown into Northern Crimson Prison!â
âYes, Mr. Goldstein. Iâll arrange it right away.â
Hades instantly retreated.
This time, the incident happened because of his negligence. With his status, he naturally couldnât monitor the situation in Jadeborough all the time. But it was also because of this negligence of his that almost cost him his life.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he called Zachary.
âZachary, itâs me.â
The moment the call got through, Zacharyâs voice sounded on the other end. âI know itâs you. Whatâs the matter?â
âIâll give you one hour to immediately get back to Jadeborough from Jazona. If youâre late by even one minute, Iâll skin you alive!â Hades didnât waste a single second and got straight to the point.
âWhy would I go just because you tell me to?â Zachary scoffed. âWho do you think you are?â
âYouâre not coming, are you?â
Hades didnât want to waste time with him. âFine. If I donât see you within one hour, then you can prepare to go from being the Vanquisher King of War to the king of the prison!â
Immediately after he finished speaking, Hades prepared to hung up.
But just as he was about to do so, Zachary fumed, âWho are you trying to scare? What would you do to me if I donât go? Da*n you, Hades. Canât you just talk to me nicely if you want me to help you? Why do you have to be so rude about it?
âWho said that I needed your help?â Hades responded coldly. âThis is an order from the Asuraâs Office.
Are you going to go against it?â
âOrder? Whoâs the one who made this order?â Zacharyâs tone changed instantly upon hearing that it was an order.
âMr. Goldstein!â
Hades couldnât be bothered with him. âYou better get to Jadeborough within one hour. From today onward, youâre in charge of Josephineâs safety. If she loses even a single strand of hair, you can prepare to become the king of the Northern Crimson Prison instead! By the way, Iâm not the one who said this. Mr. Goldstein did. You can decide for yourself whether you want to come or not.â
The moment he finished speaking, Hades didnât give Zachary any opportunity to refute and immediately hung up.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Jonathan lit up a cigarette and walked toward the balcony after Hades left.
Before Josephine got pregnant, he had already developed the habit of smoking on the balcony.
âJonathan, what happened to Josephine?â Jonathan just took a puff of the cigarette when Emmelineâs voice suddenly sounded behind him. Emmeline quietly tiptoed over to him.
âItâs nothing. She just got into a small accident.â
Jonathan casually tapped the cigarette and added, âWhy arenât you in class today?â
âJonathan, Iâve already told you so many times that Iâm on my summer break. School hasnât started yetâ¦â Emmeline wore an exasperated look.
âOh, I remember now.â
Jonathan rubbed his temples. His head was starting to hurt.
Recently, he had been going through so much that he didnât pay attention to Emmeline. Ever since they parted at Durbaine, he went to Jetroina, and someone kidnapped Josephine when he came back. He had no time to remember if Emmelineâs school had started.
âOh right. You should stay home and take good care of your sister over the next few days. Call me immediately if anything happens. Tonight, Iâll send people to patrol and protect both of you around the clock. If you donât have anything urgent, try not to go out!â Jonathan reminded her. Although from that day onward, their familyâs safety would be in Zacharyâs hands, they still couldnât let their guard down.
If they got careless again, it would be too late for regrets.
âJonathan, did something happen?â Upon hearing that Jonathan wanted to send someone to patrol around the clock, Emmelineâs face turned pale from shock.
After all, she was well aware of Jonathanâs personality.
There had to be something big going on for him to go to such lengths.
âSomeone kidnapped Josephine just now,â Jonathan said with a frown. âIf Iâm guessing correctly, there should be quite a number of assassins on the move soon.â
âWhat? Assassins?â Emmeline shuddered in fright when she heard this.
She had only heard of assassins in movies and had never encountered one in real life.
âYou donât have to worry about this. You just have to stay by Josephineâs side. Over the next few days, donât let her go to the office. Iâll handle everything.â Jonathan stubbed out the cigarette and headed back up to the second floor.
In the bedroom, Josephine was sound asleep.
But even so, she still didnât seem too well. She grabbed the blanket tightly with both hands and furrowed her brows deeply. It was evident that she was still in shock from the incident.
Seeing this, Jonathan slowly went over and sat down by the side of the bed. He gently released Josephineâs grip on the blanket and held her hand in his own.
âDonât be afraid, Iâm here now. No one on Earth can ever harm you. If it ever happens, it will only be over my dead body and when Asuraâs Office is destroyed.â
In deep sleep, Josephine seemed to have heard his words, and her tightly furrowed brows subconsciously smoothened out.
An hour later, when the sky gradually grew dark, Jonathan walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Emmeline was sprawled on the couch watching television.
Her long, slender legs were exceptionally attractive.
However, Jonathan wasnât even interested to spare a glance. He simply looked up at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was already seven.
The sky was already dark, and Hades should be arriving soon.
As expected, the moment he walked down the stairs, he saw Hades pushing the mansion doors open with a cold expression.
âI found it, Mr. Goldstein! Someone in the country is offering a one-hundred-million bounty on the Dark Web for your head. Ms. Smith and her entire family are also included in the bounty. However, the bounty for them isnât as high and is only worth one million. And itâs even in Chanaean currency!â
âA one-hundred-million bounty for my head?â Jonathan sneered when he heard Hadesâ words. âThey want my head for just one hundred million? Arenât they underestimating me?â
