The Legendary Man Chapter 346

The Hansley Family Of Gronga

“I’m only taking a look around,” Jonathan responded casually.

Taking a look around? What’s there to see at a place like this?

They were at an eerie place in the middle of nowhere. If it weren’t for Cecilia, the young man might not have come here even if he was given a million.

“Could you be here on an adventure?” Francis Collins, the young man, glanced at Jonathan. “I heard that there have been quite a few adventure streamers who like coming to spooky places like these to conduct live streams. Could you be one of them?”

“You can say that!”

Jonathan couldn’t be bothered with them. He gave them a casual nod and proceeded on his journey.

Just as he was about to continue walking, Francis stopped him once again. “Since we’ve already met, why don’t we go together? At least you’ll have someone to look out for you on your journey.”

“Francis, what are you doing?” Cecilia furrowed her brows after hearing this. “Why are you bringing him along?”

“Ms. Hansley, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find Shadow Dragon Pool on our own by the time it gets dark. Just look at this man. He has a clear goal, and it’s obvious that he’s someone who often goes on adventures. With him leading the way, I’m sure he’ll save us from going on the wrong path!”

Once he finished speaking, Francis turned toward Jonathan. “What do you say? We can even give you a reward for it if you want. Just name your price.”

“There’s no need for a reward. Just don’t cause any trouble.” The moment he finished his words, Jonathan continued walking.

To Jonathan, it made no difference if they tagged along or not.

It was fine as long as they didn’t cause any trouble for him.

“Hmph!”

A young man who was evidently of the highest status in the group scoffed at Jonathan’s words and pursed his lips. “We won’t know for sure who’ll be the one causing trouble.”

“Let’s go, Ms. Hansley.”

With that, the few of them hurried after Jonathan.

Along the way, it seemed as if Jonathan was in a different world from them.

After walking for an entire hour, he hadn’t spoken a single word.

On the other hand, the group of young men and women seemed relaxed.

It was especially the case for the man who seemed to be of the highest status as he constantly tried to butter up Cecilia.

“Ms. Hansley, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I brought some food along with me and even specially brought a few bottles of red wine. Would you like to try some?”

As he spoke, he signaled to Francis, who was behind him.

Francis instantly understood his intentions.

He started hitting his legs and added, “Exactly. We’ve already walked for so long, and it’s starting to get dark. Why don’t we get some rest?”

“Mr. Jones, I’m afraid it’s really going to get dark if we don’t hurry.” Although Cecilia was full of disdain toward Shawn Jones, the young man, she still pretended to be in a difficult spot and whined, “By then, I’m afraid that we won’t even be able to find a place in this dark, creepy place to stay!”

After all, she had no other option as Jipsdale was Shawn’s territory.

However, there weren’t any markings on its specific location on the scribbled map.

Upon seeing how adamantly Jonathan rejected him, Francis didn’t continue insisting.

The group of them then sat down and started eating. After a short while, Cecilia took the initiative to raise her glass and turned to Shawn. “Our trip to Jipsdale this time is all thanks to Mr. Jones. If we can establish our mineral water factory, Mr. Jones will be our biggest contributor. Here’s to you, Mr. Jones.”

With that, Cecilia lifted her crystal wine glass and downed the wine in one gulp.

Shawn was slightly taken aback by this.

Ever since they came to Jipsdale, Cecilia had always been indifferent toward him. Even if he initiated a conversation with her, she still couldn’t care less about him.

But now, not only was Cecilia taking the initiative to make a toast to him, she was even saying that he was the biggest contributor.

Without hesitation, Shawn raised his glass and downed his wine in one gulp as well. “That’s too kind of you, Ms. Hansley. It’s my pleasure to be of your service. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me. Although I can’t guarantee what would happen elsewhere, no one dares to go against my words in Jipsdale!”

“Thank you, Mr. Jones.” Cecilia lowered her head slightly. As she had just drunk a glass of wine, her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Under the dark sky, she seemed even more alluring.

As Shawn looked at her, he couldn’t help but gulp when she lowered her head.

“Young man, although I don’t know your name, since we’ve already met, let’s have a drink together.”

As he said that, Shawn glanced at Jonathan casually before signaling to Francis.

At Shawn’s signal, Francis immediately understood and poured a glass of red wine for Jonathan. “Hurry and give a toast to Mr. Jones,” he whispered.
