The Legendary Man

Chapter 634 Ascension

Jonathan’s words caused Geoffrey to fall into deep thought. Thereafter, he—without any hesitation—picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed it into Seamus’ neck, causing him to struggle violently before breathing his last.

It was then that Jonathan gave Geoffrey an icy stare. “Geoffrey, this is the time I need the intelligence network. Hence, you had better have a d*mn good reason for killing him.”

Getting back up to his feet, Geoffrey turned toward Jonathan. “Mr. Goldstein, I did it because I want to take over his role as chief of Terrandya’s intelligence network. Although Seamus is now dead, I alone am sufficient to fill his shoes.” “You?”

Jonathan chuckled at Geoffrey.

“After listening to your backstory, I don’t deny that you’re superior to Seamus when it comes to being cunning and ruthless. Having said that, it also means that you’re a loose cannon on top of the fact that you’re capable enough to control the intelligence network of Terrandya.”

“Mr. Goldstein, I understand your concerns, but I can prove myself to you,” Geoffrey replied with a smug smile.

“Over the last two years, Seamus has gathered a tremendous amount of wealth, estimated to be in the hundreds of billions. That was the reason why he became extraordinarily cautious after the incident at Mysonna. He feared offending either side. Furthermore, I was the one managing Terrandya’s intelligence network over the last year, even though he was officially in charge. Now that he’s dead, I’m entirely capable of taking over without any disruptions.”

The confidence Geoffrey demonstrated gave Jonathan food for thought.

This young man might have the demeanor of a jovial university student, but this is the first time I have seen someone display such sharpness and brutality. A person like that is no different from a double-edged sword, extremely effective when pointed in the right direction but dangerous when wielded wrongly. Seamus had learned it the hard way.

After dwelling on the matter, Jonathan finally spoke.

“In that case, is being the chief of Terrandya’s intelligence network your answer to the one wish I grant you?”

Jonathan assumed that Geoffrey’s sole goal was to take over Seamus’ role.
