The Legendary Man

Chapter 545 Exorbitant Price

Following Jonathan’s words, everyone turned to look at him. None of the people who came here to fight for the opportunity to become the first to pray were fools. After waiting for so long, they knew that there was something wrong outside, since no one had come in yet.

Seeing Desmond looking as though he had absolute conviction, everyone realized it was the doing of that scion. Despite their tacit understanding, none of them pointed it out.

After all, the reputable families who wanted to seize the spot for the first prayer were all sitting here. As for the rest, even if they came in, they would lose to those reputable families during the bidding.

Besides, those people at the foot of the mountain said they were here to be the first to pray, but in reality, nearly all of them came to build bridges and get acquainted with those prominent families.

Those people couldn’t get themselves into business receptions, so the current ceremony became their golden opportunity to get to know those prominent families.

If those opportunistic people were allowed to enter, the people in the temple would get harassed. Thus, now that there were only a handful of people inside, they could enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

As a result, it made Jonathan, who came into the temple alone, particularly eye-catching. Many people turned to look in Desmond’s direction, intending to see how he was going to react, and Desmond didn’t hold back at all.

“Hey, you brat. How did you get in here?” Jonathan found a seat in the back. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard Desmond’s voice and immediately looked up.

“Me? I walked in.” Jonathan’s indifferent voice shocked everyone in the temple. In Summerbank, there were not many people who dared to speak to Desmond like that.

Sizing Jonathan up closely, everyone was wondering about his identity. Who’s this man? Since when do we have such a brazen man in Summerbank?

When Desmond saw how unfazed Jonathan was, the former’s expression turned grim. “I know you didn’t fly here. Where are my subordinates?”

“Your subordinates?” After a moment, Jonathan nodded. “I got it. You’re Desmond Jensen who asked those people to block the road, right? Your two subordinates attacked me, so I crippled one of them, and the other one is probably busy saving that person.”

Right after he said that, the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became tense. The onlookers all shared the same thought. In spite of knowing Desmond’s identity, this man still dared to take action against his subordinates. Does this young man have a death wish?
