The Legendary Man Chapter 467

A Hundred Million Bounty

“Continue searching. I want to know who hired this assassin from the Dark Web before it turns dark. Ialso want to know who was the one who orchestrated this!”

Jonathan’s gaze was extremely cold.

Josephine was his bottom line.

Anyone who touched her would die.

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Hades immediately got to his feet and retreated. But just as he was about toleave, Jonathan stopped him. “Wait! Get Zachary over from Jazona. From today onward, he will bepersonally in charge of Josephine’s 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 NorthernCrimson Prison!”

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein. I’ll arrange it right away.”

Hades instantly retreated.

This time, the incident happened because of his negligence. With his status, he naturally couldn’tmonitor the situation in Jadeborough all the time. But it was also because of this negligence of his thatalmost cost him his life.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he called Zachary.

“Zachary, it’s me.”

The moment the call got through, Zachary’s voice sounded on the other end. “I know it’s you. What’sthe matter?”

“I’ll give you one hour to immediately get back to Jadeborough from Jazona. If you’re late by even oneminute, I’ll skin you alive!” Hades didn’t waste a single second and got straight to the point.

“Why would I go just because you tell me to?” Zachary scoffed. “Who do you think you are?”

“You’re not coming, are you?”

Hades didn’t want to waste time with him. “Fine. If I don’t see you within one hour, then you canprepare to go from being the Vanquisher King of War to the king of the prison!”

Immediately after he finished speaking, Hades prepared to hung up.

But just as he was about to do so, Zachary fumed, “Who are you trying to scare? What would you do tome if I don’t go? Da*n you, Hades. Can’t you just talk to me nicely if you want me to help you? Why doyou have to be so rude about it?

“Who said that I needed your help?” Hades responded coldly. “This is an order from the Asura’s Office.Are you going to go against it?”

“Order? Who’s the one who made this order?” Zachary’s tone changed instantly upon hearing that itwas an order.

“Mr. Goldstein!”

Hades couldn’t be bothered with him. “You better get to Jadeborough within one hour. From todayonward, you’re in charge of Josephine’s safety. If she loses even a single strand of hair, you canprepare to become the king of the Northern Crimson Prison instead! By the way, I’m not the one whosaid this. Mr. Goldstein did. You can decide for yourself whether you want to come or not.”

The moment he finished speaking, Hades didn’t give Zachary any opportunity to refute andimmediately hung up.novelbin

Meanwhile, in the living room, Jonathan lit up a cigarette and walked toward the balcony after Hadesleft.

Before Josephine got pregnant, he had already developed the habit of smoking on the balcony.

“Jonathan, what happened to Josephine?” Jonathan just took a puff of the cigarette when Emmeline’svoice suddenly sounded behind him. Emmeline quietly tiptoed over to him.

“It’s nothing. She just got into a small accident.”

Jonathan casually tapped the cigarette and added, “Why aren’t you in class today?”

“Jonathan, I’ve already told you so many times that I’m on my summer break. School hasn’t startedyet…” Emmeline wore an exasperated look.

“Oh, I remember now.”

Jonathan rubbed his temples. His head was starting to hurt.

Recently, he had been going through so much that he didn’t pay attention to Emmeline. Ever since theyparted at Durbaine, he went to Jetroina, and someone kidnapped Josephine when he came back. Hehad no time to remember if Emmeline’s school had started.

“Oh right. You should stay home and take good care of your sister over the next few days. Call meimmediately if anything happens. Tonight, I’ll send people to patrol and protect both of you around theclock. If you don’t have anything urgent, try not to go out!” Jonathan reminded her. Although from thatday onward, their family’s safety would be in Zachary’s hands, they still couldn’t let their guard down.

If they got careless again, it would be too late for regrets.

“Jonathan, did something happen?” Upon hearing that Jonathan wanted to send someone to patrolaround the clock, Emmeline’s face turned pale from shock.

After all, she was well aware of Jonathan’s personality.

There had to be something big going on for him to go to such lengths.

“Someone kidnapped Josephine just now,” Jonathan said with a frown. “If I’m guessing correctly, thereshould be quite a number of assassins on the move soon.”

“What? Assassins?” Emmeline shuddered in fright when she heard this.

She had only heard of assassins in movies and had never encountered one in real life.

“You don’t have to worry about this. You just have to stay by Josephine’s side. Over the next few days,don’t let her go to the office. I’ll handle everything.” Jonathan stubbed out the cigarette and headedback up to the second floor.

In the bedroom, Josephine was sound asleep.

But even so, she still didn’t seem too well. She grabbed the blanket tightly with both hands andfurrowed 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 releasedJosephine’s grip on the blanket and held her hand in his own.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here now. No one on Earth can ever harm you. If it ever happens, it will only beover my dead body and when Asura’s Office is destroyed.”

In deep sleep, Josephine seemed to have heard his words, and her tightly furrowed browssubconsciously 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 wasn’t even interested to spare a glance. He simply looked up at the clock on thewall 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 openwith a cold expression.

“I found it, Mr. Goldstein! Someone in the country is offering a one-hundred-million bounty on the DarkWeb for your head. Ms. Smith and her entire family are also included in the bounty. However, thebounty for them isn’t as high and is only worth one million. And it’s even in Chanaean currency!”

“A one-hundred-million bounty for my head?” Jonathan sneered when he heard Hades’ words. “Theywant my head for just one hundred million? Aren’t they underestimating me?”
