The Legendary Man

Chapter 478 You Are Useless

Jonathan’s brows furrowed at Philip’s recent photos.

It wasn’t even a year and a half since the Gomez family returned to the city.

Though they claimed to have put jockeying for power behind them and returned to an honest-to-goodness life, he thought the circumstances behind Philip’s drastic transformation were strange.

Before they disappeared into seclusion, Philip’s gaunt features made him look almost like he was on the verge of death.

Jonathan predicted that he couldn’t have lived past five years if it weren’t for the mutiny.

Typical recuperation couldn’t have revitalized his health.

However, Philip was bright-eyed with an upright posture in the most recent photo, his complexion rosy and smooth. The most noticeable feature was his temples which were slightly bulging.

It was the telltale sign of someone practicing martial arts.

Hades had previously told Jonathan that there was a possibility of the Gomez family practicing martial arts. The drastic change in Philip’s countenance seemed to have proved Hades’ speculation.

“Some data are missing from the report, such as the Gomez family’s asset valuation before the war and total investment valuation after the war, as well as their comings and goings during their year of disappearance. The details are incomplete, and I need them for further analysis,” Jonathan stated evenly, tossing the laptop to Hayes.

Hayes caught the device and delivered a kick to a bowing soldier beside him. “You motherf*cker, why didn’t you do your job properly? Didn’t I tell you to give me the most extensive report possible? Do you have cotton between your ears, or do you want to be fired from your position as intelligence chief?”

The middle-aged man landed three meters away, his face belying no emotions.

He quickly clambered to his feet and saluted Hayes briskly. “Commander, the rogue military altered many data to loot assets before the Gomez family left Lumonburg. The industrial and municipal archives had all been destroyed, and there was nothing to cross-reference with. After they returned, the city was in ruins, and the administration gave many investors and businessmen the green light to revive the economy. Many procedures were overlooked and incomplete. There’s nothing I can do regarding the Gomez family’s whereabouts because we were stationed here three years ago when they had left five years ago.”
