The Legendary Man

Chapter 841 News Of Josephine

Jonathan stared blankly at Donald.

“Donald, do you really dislike Sean that much?”

Something struck Jonathan just as he spoke.

“Hey, are you jealous of Sean's talent?”

“Me? Jealous of him?”

Donald let out a snort.

“I, Donald Chambers, am proficient in both medicine and martial arts. I am no lesser than anyone in this world. When the time comes for me to reach the peak of my cultivation, I will defeat all my enemies...”

Watching how adamant Donald was in deluding himself, Jonathan couldn't help but sigh.

“Have you been reading too many fairy tales?”

Choking on his words, Donald blushed in embarrassment. “Mr. Goldstein, trust me. You have to be wary of Sean. I, too, have been young once, and I'm certain that a true genius doesn't behave that way.”

With that, Donald turned and left, leaving behind a nonplussed Jonathan.

When he used his spiritual sense to observe Sean's movements, he noticed that the latter was molding a Spirit Rejuvenating Pill with his hands.

Jonathan was unable to detect anything suspicious from Sean's behavior alone.

Even from the evaluation a moment ago, he failed to sense anything wrong.

Just like Jason, Donald came from a family with a tragic background. Given that he had spent lots of time training with someone as eccentric as Jason, Jonathan found it reasonable for Donald to display similar levels of eccentricity.

With that, Jonathan shook his head with a smile before leaving.

However, a sudden realization descended upon him the very next moment.

“Even though I don't really believe it, it pays to heed Donald's advice. Let's keep an eye on Sean for a week first.”

“Understood.”

A faint voice rang out even though there didn't seem to be anyone around.

It was a Dark Special Forces cultivator whom Jonathan had planted. Ever since Josephine's kidnap, Jonathan had placed his spies around the surroundings of Edenic Heights.

Under normal circumstances, they would stay hidden without showing themselves.

They were a presence that even Zachary wasn't aware of.

Although Dark Special Forces were officially under the authority of Asura's Office, they had inadvertently evolved into Jonathan's private army.

Therefore, all orders issued to them, even by Hades—the acting chief of Asura's Office—only served as a request for assistance.

The decision to carry out such tasks still lay in the hands of their chief.

Moreover, despite his clandestine attempts to find out who the chief was, Hades never saw any success.

Once he was done dealing with his affairs, Jonathan began to walk ahead.

Whether it was three years ago or the period after his return, the Smith family made things difficult for Jonathan.

He was still unable to clear his conscience despite all that he had gone through previously.

The last time he came back, the wailing Margaret begged to see her daughter. Unfortunately, Jonathan felt utterly helpless even though he was standing at the pinnacle of power.

Therefore, he had yet to see Margaret during this trip.

As Jonathan continued to stroll aimlessly, he arrived at No. 2 Villa before he knew it.

“Jonathan?”

A crisp voice rang out from the villa.

When Jonathan turned around, he saw Emmeline and Sophia staring at him from the garden of No. 2 Villa.

“Emmeline... Aunt Sophia...”

Jonathan looked at them awkwardly. Despite having no fear when staring down a hundred thousand enemies before, he felt helpless in that situation.

“Jonathan, you're finally back.”

“Aunt Sophia!”

In response, Jonathan hurried forward and knelt by her side.

“Do you feel better now?”

In an attempt to force Jonathan into submission, Jay almost beat Sophia to death, causing her to suffer more than twenty fractures all over her body.

Nevertheless, she had managed to make a swift recovery with the life-saving pill Jonathan obtained from Summerbank and the meticulous care Jason had provided.

Sophia reached out to pat him on the shoulder as her eyes glistened vibrantly.

“Jonathan, it must have been tough being out there.”

Sophia might be unaware of the challenges Jonathan faced outside but she wasn't someone naive after going through a lot herself.

Back then, the Goldstein family was embroiled in many power struggles within Baykeep despite being no more than a prominent family.

Consequently, she could imagine the danger Jonathan faced, especially after Blaze's arrival, an event that still traumatized her.

Having watched Jonathan grow up, she knew him like the back of her hand.

Anyone who could trigger a sense of crisis in Jonathan was no ordinary foe.

Consequently, she lamented the burden Asura had to carry.

“Jonathan, have you gone to No. 1 Villa to see your in-law yet?”

“Aunt Sophia... I-I'm too ashamed to face them.”

Jonathan then gave Emmeline a complicated look.

“Jonathan...”

As a member of the Smith family, Emmeline knew how unfairly Jonathan was treated by them.
