The Legendary Man

Chapter 248 The Dark Web
“Mr. Goldstein, it’s me, Zachary,” Zachary greeted from the other end of the line.
“What is it?” Jonathan’s brows creased slightly.
Didn’t Zachary leave Jadeborough two days ago? Why is he calling me now?
“Mr. Goldstein, I received intel that someone offered one million in exchange for Ms. Smith’s life on the Dark Web,” came the
answer.
“What?”
Jonathan’s gaze turned as dark as thunder at the mention of the Dark Web.
The Dark Web? I can’t believe someone placed a bounty on Josephine’s head!
Through the Dark Web, underground assassin organizations could communicate and conduct business anonymously without
divulging identifying information, such as a user’s location. They would accept any business—including human trafficking and
murder anyone—as long as the price was acceptable.
They would kill anyone as long as the client could afford to pay them.
Even if someone asked them to assassinate a country’s leader, they would do it if they were paid handsomely.
“Did you find out who posted the bounty?” Jonathan demanded icily.
“No,” Zachary answered in a low voice. “Mr. Goldstein, you know the Dark Web isn’t under our jurisdiction. Their server is located
overseas, so we couldn’t find out who posted that bounty. Besides—”
“Cut the crap!” Jonathan interjected harshly before Zachary could finish his explanation. “You have one day. I want to know who
posted the bounty before the sun sets!”
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!”
Zachary didn’t dare have any objections.
Even though they were only talking through the phone, he could still feel the unbridled fury in Jonathan’s voice.

“Mr. Goldstein, should I ask Andrew to lead his troops and keep watch at Edenic Heights all day round?”
“No need,” Jonathan rejected his proposal. “I will be there, so no one can lay a hand on Josephine!”
He added, “Tell those on the Dark Web, whoever accepts the mission shall die! There are no exceptions. I’ll even kill Lethal
Devil, who ranks first on the Heaven List if he were to accept the mission!”
Jonathan paid no heed to the Dark Web.
After all, he had killed the top ten assassins of the Dark Web.
Jonathan was confident that he could kill the assassin ranked first on the Heaven List if the latter was bold enough to accept the
job.
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!”
Zachary dared not delay any further and instantly sent his men to hack into the Dark Web server.
After the conversation was wrapped up, silence ensued.
Alice darted behind Arnold’s back in fear at the sight of Jonathan’s icy cold gaze, her heart beating rapidly.
Despite knowing that Jonathan wouldn’t hurt her one bit, she still couldn’t stop fear from spreading in her heart.
“Jonny, w-what is going on?” Alice queried carefully.
“Nothing. It’s a minor problem.” Jonathan kept a lid on his emotions and turned to Alice. “Remember to take good care of Mrs.
Renner. I’ll be back sometime later for a visit,” he said.
“Oh, all right.”
Alice bobbed her head profusely.
After bidding goodbye to the Renners, Jonathan got into his fiery red Lamborghini. The car sped away soon, leaving only a trail
of exhaust gas in its wake. His destination was none other than Jadeborough.
Half an hour later, the car rolled to a stop before No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights.

It was a dangerous ride, for he had sped past countless red lights. All Jonathan knew was that he floored the accelerator of the
Lamborghini.
“Where is Josephine?”
When he entered the villa, he saw Emmeline swinging her legs in a carefree manner as she watched a drama produced in
Koandria.
“I have no idea.” Emmeline shook her head. “She went out early in the morning. I think she is discussing a collaboration with
some company.”
She glanced at him and asked, “Why are you looking for her?”
“A collaboration?” Jonathan didn’t hide his surprise. After getting kicked out of the Smith family, the only project Josephine was
handling was the ecological park project.
Is she with Graham?
Jonathan whipped his phone out and gave Josephine a call. A while later, her voice sounded over the line. “Hello?”
“Darling? Where are you?”
“I’m at the café discussing the ecological park project with Mr. Cabot. What’s wrong?” Josephine’s voice was jovial, and it
sounded like she was in a good mood.
“Which café? I’ll head there right away,” came Jonathan’s answer.
“I’m at Twinkle Café.”
“Wait for me.”
After ending the call, Jonathan made to leave. Before he could step out of the villa, Emmeline’s voice rang out. “Jonathan, are
you going to a café? Can I come with you?”
“Why do you want to come with me?” Jonathan’s brows knitted together. “Stay at home and watch your TV drama!”
“No!” Emmeline harrumphed. “It’s boring. I want to meet cute boys. I heard that they frequent cafés, so I’d like to tag along!”

“You can tag along next time, but not today,” Jonathan declined her request directly.
“Fine, then!”
Emmeline pouted and crossed her legs before returning her attention to the TV.
Twenty minutes later, a car came to a stop at the entrance of Twinkle Café.
Previously, Jonathan and Graham got to know that Tavion was alive in this café.
“Boss!”
Once Jonathan pushed the door open, he was greeted by the owner of the café, Willow. She seemed surprised to see him.
“Boss, why are you here?”
“I’m here to meet Mr. Cabot,” Jonathan replied nonchalantly.
“Oh, Mr. Cabot is in the VIP room.” Willow promptly led him in. “Boss, I heard that Tavion’s Tavion Group has gone bankrupt.
Have you heard about that?”
“Yes,” came Jonathan’s calm reply.
After all, he was the one who made that happen.
“It’s a huge corporation. How did it go bankrupt that abruptly?” Willow muttered to herself. Suddenly, her head snapped up.
“Boss, was that your doing?”
“What do you think?” Jonathan flashed a grin without answering her question.
“I don’t think so?” Willow scratched her head as her cheeks flushed red.
Tavion Group was a huge corporation that was worth billions. Even though Jonathan was a capable man, she didn’t think he
could destroy Tavion Group that easily.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As Willow spoke, she knocked on the door.
Soon, Graham’s voice rang out. “Come in!”

“Mr. Cabot, Mr. Goldstein is here.” Willow pushed the door open gently. Once the door opened, Graham stood up hastily and
greeted, “Mr. Goldstein.”
“Mm!” Jonathan grunted in response. He then gave a terse nod as he strode toward Josephine.
