The Legendary Man

Chapter 290 Dead Men Tell No Tales

“You…” When Emmett heard Nathan accuse his daughter of being a sl*t, he was outraged.

If she’s a shameless sl*t, does that mean I’m shameless, too?

“Remember, Emmett, you have one day. If I don’t see them by midnight, the entire Goldstein family had better be prepared to pay the consequences with your lives!”

Nathan left without giving him a chance to react.

By the time the former was gone, Emmett was shaking so badly from anger that he broke his dragon-adorned walking cane in two.

“How dare he! This is too much! Who do they think they are? Back then, didn’t the Zeller family beg at the door of Asura’s Office like dogs? If it wasn’t for the support from someone at the office, would Nathan Zelller dare to speak to me that way? If us Goldsteins have the same support, I’m sure he wouldn’t have the guts to do it. He’s simply bullying us into getting his way!”

The four prominent families of Yaleview were the Zellers, Maxwells, Hamiltons, and Morsleys.

They had survived when the Four Asura Guards’ army invaded because of their contributions towards Asura’s victory.

Now that he belongs to one of the four prominent families, has Nathan forgotten how he had groveled in front of Asura’s Office?

“Enough! What’s the point of bringing up the past now?” Loretta couldn’t help but snort at Emmett. “Isn’t it your fault that you weren’t even worthy to step into Asura’s Office when he led his army during the bloodbath in Yaleview? If only we had someone in the office like they have, do you think he would dare speak to you that way?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Emmett was infuriated by his wife’s words. “How can you accuse me of being unworthy? What do you know? Back then, I didn’t care for it! I would rather die standing than submit myself to Asura’s Office like a dog.”

“Yea, yea. They wouldn’t have wanted you even if you were a dog!” Loretta scoffed. “What’s the use of acting tough in front of me? Do you think I wasn’t aware that you were trying to pull strings just to get close to Asura’s Office? Unfortunately, you were ignored, and no one was willing to help you at all. After all this time, do you actually think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”
