The Legendary Man

Chapter 608 Reason
“You —” Harry gazed at the young boy before him in resignation. Despite being only fourteen years old, that boy was a major in
the army. Not to mention, the boy was adept in medical skills as he was the one to save Zachary’s life.
Besides, after Jason was gravely injured, Donald took charge of the entire Edenic Heights medical team. Although Donald was
the same age as someone who had just graduated middle school, he was very experienced in arranging and delegating all the
tasks.
Judging by his demeanor, one would assume Donald had been in the military his whole life. Additionally, he was a stubborn
person. When Harry came for an inspection earlier, the young boy had refused him in a similar manner.
Jonathan stared at Donald. “I’ve seen you before. Since you forbid me from entering, then I will not go in. However, the
cleanliness here is compromised, so why are we not transferring these people to the local hospital?”
“Those with less severe injuries have been transferred out. The rest who remain here are those in critical condition. Their lives
might have been saved, but they cannot handle exaggerated movements.”
Donald bit another mouthful of bread as he spoke. “I’m afraid they will all die from excessive blood loss if we try to move them to
the car. Therefore, they must remain here.”
“In that case, who can I visit?” Jonathan asked calmly. Donald pointed at No. 8 Villa. “The first floor has been modified into an
infirmary. Zachary, Yasmin, and Jason are all in there. Their physiques are stronger, so they won’t die from the interruption of a
visitor.”
Jonathan smiled faintly after listening to Donald’s response. He immediately turned around and strode toward No. 8
Villa. Covered in sweat, Harry gritted his teeth and glowered at Donald before hastily turning on his heels and leaving.
On the first floor of No. 8 Villa, Jonathan’s eyes glinted coldly at the sight of Yasmin and Zachary, who were still lying
unconscious in their beds.
Jason was the only person who was awake at that moment. “Mr. Goldstein...”
Jason propped himself up on the bed when he saw Jonathan. Jonathan quickly summoned a stream of gentle spiritual energy to
press Jason back onto the bed.

Jonathan sat on the chair and uttered, “Cut that pretense. You’ve always been full of yourself and behaved frivolously in front of
me. You do not need to put on the polite and humble act now. Tell me. What exactly happened?”
Jason chuckled. “It’s nothing major. A few days ago, three Grandmasters came here to stir a ruckus. We confronted them, killing
two and capturing one alive in the process. What you see now is the result following the commotion.”
Jason sighed when he noticed Jonathan shifting his gaze onto the two unconscious people.
“Zachary suffered four knife slashes, and one of them pierced through his abdomen. Fortunately, his vital organs were
unharmed. With his physiques, he can achieve complete recovery in about one month with the help of spiritual energy after his
condition improves. As for Yasmin...” Jason’s frown deepened. “She has a mortal body, and in order to kill the cultivator from the
Osborne family, she used her own blood as a catalyst to poison her opponent. Although we arranged for her to undergo blood
transfusion as soon as possible, the toxin had still spread to her entire body.”
“Is there no way to neutralize the poison?” Jonathan asked while taking in the sight of Yasmin, who was covered in bandages.
“Donald and I tried to neutralize the poison in her blood, but to no avail.” Jason sighed while looking at Yasmin. “I can’t believe a
mortal like her could produce a poison with the potency of instantaneously killing a cultivator in the Grandmaster Realm upon
exposure. She’s truly a genius in utilizing poison.”
The next second, Jonathan took out a red color box.
Jason received the box, and the moment he opened it, a faint herbal smell wafted out from the box.
“This... Mr. Goldstein, you found the medication!”
“Can this medication save Yasmin’s life?” Jonathan questioned Jason.
Jason was stunned as he looked up at Jonathan.
Jonathan left Jadeborough to search for the life-saving pill to treat Sophia’s condition. Jason could not believe Jonathan was
willing to use the medication on an assassin after all the trouble he had gone through to obtain that life-saving pill.
“Mr. Goldstein, I did my research on this medication. This pill contains the most neutral energy that can sustain a person’s life
force, but it cannot be used for detoxification purposes.”
Jonathan nodded slightly upon hearing that.

“I got it. I’ll leave the patients in your care. I shall take my leave now to attend to some other matters.”
Without elaborating further, Jonathan got up and left.
Harry hurriedly opened the car door when he saw Jonathan exiting the villa.
“Mr. Goldstein, are we returning to No. 1 Villa?”
“No, let’s go to the temporary command center.”
At that moment, Edenic Heights’ spacious interior badminton court had been vacated, and the interior was now equipped with
over ten computers and various communication devices.
A large screen in front of Jonathan was showing all the live feeds from the three hundred surveillance cameras installed in every
corner of Edenic Heights.
“Harry, inform the Eight Kings of War that I want to host a meeting.”
“Yes, sir!”
The temporary command center was cleared of other personnel in less than ten minutes.
Aside from Jonathan, Harry was the only other member allowed to participate in that meeting.
The surveillance footage on the large screen in front of them disappeared one after the other, and the screen was soon divided
into twelve individual displays.
“Mr. Goldstein, we can start now,” Harry, standing in the distance, said to Jonathan.
Following Jonathan’s nod, Harry lightly tapped on the remote with his finger.
Seven displays lit up in succession on the large screen.
Aside from Zachary and Dorian who were unconscious, Andy and the others stood straight before the camera, dressed in
military uniforms.
“Mr. Goldstein!” they greeted and saluted Jonathan.

Jonathan sat in his chair in silence with his gaze fixed on the eighth display.
For the next few minutes, he did not say a word. The other five people remained on their feet and waited quietly as well.
Finally, Jonathan sighed. “Sit.”
Hades and the others sat down after receiving the instruction. Just then, the eighth display suddenly flashed. The image of Karl
puffing on a cigar appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Karl!”
“F*ck you!”
“How dare you show yourself!”
Hades and the others instantly leaped to their feet and cursed Karl the moment the latter joined the meeting.
Karl merely leaned back on his chair, puffing on his cigar while listening to their insults without responding.
Jonathan stared at Karl and uttered impassively, “That’s enough. Calm down, all of you. Even the nearest one among us had to
travel over one thousand kilometers to reach the northeastern side of the globe. Scolding him now is pointless and ineffective, so
just shut up.”
After hearing Jonathan’s words, the others returned to their seats angrily.
Meanwhile, Karl placed the cigar in his hand down on the table, stood up, and saluted Jonathan.
“Mr. Goldstein, this is my last time saluting you. Thank you for saving my life two years ago.”
Jonathan regarded Karl with an impassive expression void of anger.
“Karl, you did a splendid job in the battle at Northern Crimson Prison. You managed to ruin my city with only one thousand men,
causing the death of nearly seventy thousand people. This war will be remembered by everyone in the world, much like the
battle at River Onxy a few years ago. I do not wish to discuss with you who should take the blame in this matter. I just want you
to provide me with a reason why you attacked Asura’s Office.”
