The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1119

Jonathan and Zachary exchanged a look.

Ordinarily, Zachary would not have been able to maintain such a calm demeanor when Jonathan was giving him a stare-down.

However, he currently showed no signs of backing down.

With that, Jonathan knew that the other man was determined to go against Wilbur.

If it were not for that, Zachary, who was loyal to Jonathan, would not have overstepped his bounds and gone over his head and discussed matters with Karl and Ksana without seeking his permission first.

When Jonathan picked up his cigarette and tried to take a puff, he realized that the cigarette had burned out.

Just then, Zachary came back to his senses and hurriedly passed a pack of cigarettes to Jonathan before helping the latter light another cigarette.

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette, Jonathan leaned against the tank behind him before uttering, “Zachary, you’ve been with me the longest. I know the kind of person you are. No matter how much you wish to kill Wilbur, you cannot do such a thing on your own accord. There are three people who want to eliminate Wilbur. They are Kane, Hades, and Terrence. Hades is currently unconscious, and Terrence is guarding Navarre. The only person that remains is Kane. Thus, he must be the one who—”

“It’s not Kane,” Zachary interrupted before Jonathan could finish speaking.

Jonathan gave Zachary a look before expanding his spiritual sense. Everything within a radius of a hundred meters was captured in his mind.

About seventy meters away, Kane and several others flinched slightly and cautiously looked in Jonathan’s direction.

Jonathan chuckled when he saw their reactions. “Okay, I got it. You lot have already discussed this matter and expressed your opinions.”

“Mr. Goldstein…” Zachary was slightly flustered. At that moment, he was like a child who had been caught doing something bad.

Jonathan waved his hand casually. “There’s no need to explain. You are Kings of War and decision-makers of Asura’s Office. Get them to come over. I wish to hear everyone’s opinion on this matter.”

Zachary had thought that Jonathan would hold them accountable. Unexpectedly, the latter did not voice his displeasure with their plan. Instead, he actually wanted to hear what they had to say.

Staring at Jonathan in disbelief, Zachary did as he was ordered and summoned the others via the communication device.

Upon arriving, Kane and the others stood before Jonathan nervously.

“Mr. Goldstein, I still have matters to take care of. Could we postpone this…” Pretending to be confused, Kane tried to change the subject.

Jonathan chuckled at the other man’s response. “I’m sure you must have a lot to do behind my back.”

Kane, who was about to leave, stiffened when he heard Jonathan’s words. Obediently, he turned around and sat down on the ground. “I should have known that relying on Zachary was a mistake.”

“What does it have to do with me?” Zachary lifted a leg and kicked Kane’s buttocks. “Mr. Goldstein figured it out by himself. Also, I’m not the one who keeps yelling about killing Wilbur every day. You should grow some backbone and learn to do things yourself instead of relying on someone else. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Casually, Jonathan flicked his unfinished cigarette at Zachary. “All right. That’s enough. Let’s get back to the matter at hand. Tell me the reason why we should kill Wilbur.”

“Yaleview is not fully under Wilbur’s control. Although he managed to drive Joshua away, he has yet to become the true commander-in-chief,” Kane said. “Mr. Goldstein, I know you can be quite a stickler for the rules, but we’re merely taking out a warlord if we kill him now. It would not be considered a rebellion. Now is the time.”

“Where?” Jonathan continued his line of inquiry.

“We can carry out the plan when they arrive in Doveston. The battle will take place on our turf, and even if it’s a large-scale war, it will be easy to seal the deal.”

“Who will carry out the task?”

Kane turned to look at Ksana and Karl, who stood next to him. “It will be a piece of cake to kill Wilbur with three God Realm cultivators from Asura’s Office. The time is right, and the conditions are favorable to us. Mr. Goldstein, let’s do it!”

Everyone turned to look at Jonathan and awaited his response.

Although the situation was tense at the moment, it was as Kane said. Luck was on Jonathan’s side. As long as the former agreed to it, there was no way Wilbur was walking out of Doveston.

Contrary to their expectations, Jonathan shook his head slightly. “If you still consider me your boss, you will not harm Wilbur in this battle. Not only will he not be harmed, but we will also cooperate with Yaleview Army. You lot are forbidden from half-hearted attempts.”

“Mr. Goldstein…” Zachary and the others sighed helplessly upon hearing Jonathan’s words.

Kane’s face reddened as he frowned and sat there in silence. “Mr. Goldstein, you must give us a satisfactory reason! I think of you as my boss, but I cannot accept this!”
