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. I also 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 to leave, Jonathan stopped him. “Wait! Get Zachary over from Jazona. From today onward, he will be personally 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 Northern Crimson 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’t 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.

“Zachary, it’s me.”

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

“I’ll give you one hour to immediately get back to Jadeborough from Jazona. If you’re late by even one minute, 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 can prepare 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 to me 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 do you 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 it was an order.

“Mr. Goldstein!”

Hades couldn’t be bothered with him. “You better get to Jadeborough within one hour. From today onward, you’re in charge of Josephine’s 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, I’m not the one who said 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 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.

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

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 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 Josephine’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 be over my dead body and when Asura’s Office is destroyed.”

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 wasn’t 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.

“I 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 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. “They want my head for just one hundred million? Aren’t they underestimating me?”
