The Legendary Man

“I made it myself!”

No matter how they derided him, Jonathan remained unfazed.

In fact, he couldn't even be bothered to entertain them.

Thirty or fifty? They might not be able to buy this necklace in my hand even if they spend thirty or fifty million! I once found this necklace at the residence of the most prominent family in the West Region back when I went to battle there. It's rumored that this piece of jade alone is worth more than a hundred million! What's more, I carved it myself using a year's time! Its value has long since exceeded a billion!

One of Josephine's good friends curled her lips and commented, “You made it yourself? Then it's even more worthless! Who knows where you picked up a worthless beer bottle from the trash and shattered it before threading a shard onto the necklace?”

Hah! I would never believe that he could afford to get her a piece of jade! How could a deadbeat who has no job and lived off the Smith family for a whole year afford to buy a piece of jade worth hundreds of thousands?

Another good friend of Josephine's, likewise, curled her lips and echoed, “Hear, hear! You should take into consideration Josephine's status... Putting aside the fact that Mr. Langford gifted her a Seraphic Star that costs eighteen million, even the gifts from us weren't any cheaper than ten thousand. Look at that necklace of yours! How are you not ashamed to gift it to someone else when it might not even be worth a hundred?”

“Why would I be ashamed?” Jonathan wasn't the least bit affected. “So what if he gifted her a Seraphic Star that costs eighteen million? It's no different from trash compared to this necklace! This necklace is worth ten Seraphic Stars!”

When he said that, the crowd couldn't resist rolling their eyes.

Good Lord! What a lunatic! He's truly out of his mind! It's worth ten Seraphic Stars? How could that crappy necklace of his be worth more than a hundred million?

“That's enough, Jonathan!” Josephine snapped at long last.

In the past, I only felt that he was no different than a ruffian who merely bumbles around and does nothing since he hadn't a job or any ambition. But today, I finally realized that he's not only a ruffian who loafs around but also a braggart who's vain and loves making up lies! That necklace costs more than a hundred million? I really can't believe that he dares to say that! Does he have no shame?

She pointed at Jonathan and flipped her lid. “Get out of here! Don't appear in front of me before you've changed your habit of boasting and lying!”

I've really had enough! I initially thought that he would've changed those bad habits of his after having been gone for three years, but I've never expected him to have gotten worse instead!

Jonathan quirked an eyebrow. “Do you think I'm lying? You think that I can't afford to give you a gift worth more than a hundred million and I'm deliberately blowing my own trumpet?”

“Are you not?”
