Chapter 72 Protective Jonathan

Jonathan’s glare was fierce and cold. His sharp eyes were fixed on Zack as he pursed his lips so tightly that they became a straight line.

When Zack met his uncle’s eyes, his heart mysteriously thumped, and he immediately shut his mouth.

“Why did you stop?” Jonathan sounded gentle, but there was a very clear coldness in his tone.

He glared at Zack so viciously that it made him tremble in fear. “Y-You’re here, Uncle Jonathan!”

Even though Jonathan was only a few years older than Zack, Zack respected his uncle a lot, whether in terms of his uncle’s abilities or temperament.

 

To be more precise, he was afraid of Jonathan.

It was not just him. All family members who were younger than Jonathan feared him, despite their achievements. They would show him respect, either genuinely or out of fear.

 

That fear and admiration were carved into their bones. Having an uncle like Jonathan was their pride, and he was their role model.

Zack had caused quite a lot of trouble recently, and adding to the fact that Jonathan heard how insolently he was speaking earlier, he was basically acting like a mouse in front of the cat now that he saw his uncle.

While Jonathan saw the fear in Zack’s eyes, he wasn’t going to go easy on his nephew.

“Or what?” He narrowed his eyes so sharply that his look was like a blade cutting into Zack.

His voice grew louder with each word he uttered. “What do you think this place is, huh? How dare you act so brazenly here! You’re getting bolder huh!”
