The Legendary Man

Chapter 492 The Fallen Gomez Family

Jonathan felt a little frustrated and exasperated as he looked at Xiara’s innocent expression. He impatiently explained, “I planned to let him go, so he would head back and report this to the Osborne family.”

He continued, “However, now that he’s been beaten by you into… A pulp. How’s he going to do that in his current state?” Xiara merely shrugged nonchalantly and stated, “I have no idea. Anyway, we won’t need him to report back or pass a message to the Osborne family as long as they don’t find fault with you anymore.”

She continued, “If they dare to do so despite all the chances we’ve given them, we still have other people we can grab hold of. It’s obvious that this man is expendable. I bet if this entire situation was a novel, he would surely be one of those side characters who doesn’t survive past the first chapter.”

“Stop addressing us as an entity so casually. We’re not that familiar with one another yet,” stated Jonathan irately as he reached out and tossed the pocket watch in his hand over to Hayes before he continued, “This pocket watch contains a chip that was left behind by Philip. Take a look and see if there’s anything worth using on it.”

“All right!” acknowledged Hayes enthusiastically.

As he spoke, he reached over and gestured for one of the professionals from Intelligence Bureau to start taking the pocket watch apart slowly.

At that very same moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind the group.

“Jonathan Goldstein!” bellowed the voice.

Almost immediately, a series of rapid clanking sounds followed the initial bellow as the hundreds of armed soldiers around the group raised their weapons and pointed in unison at the man who had spoken.

Jonathan turned to look at what was going on, only to see Zane standing atop the steps that led to the mourning hall. At some point in time, Zane had changed into a set of pure white mourning attire.

“Jonathan! I’m really itching to kill you right here and now!” bellowed Zane as he stood at the entrance. The wound from the broken finger on his right wrist was still bleeding profusely.

In addition, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Zane’s face was now pale and his breathing seemed to have weakened considerably.

“The Gomez family has grown and flourished successfully in Lumonburg for a few decades now, but it was all ruined by you in the span of two days! Not only did you murder my son, but you also did the same to my father as well! I’ll hunt you to the end of the world to exact my vengeance upon you!” declared Zane.

Upon taking in Zane’s words, Hayes instinctively stepped forward and slowly headed toward Zane.

As he moved, he muttered, “Da*n this fool! If you continue to spout such nonsense, I’ll walk right up there and rip your…”
