Chapter 79 In The Name Of The King Of War
The night went by in a blink of an eye.
When the day broke the next morning, Josephine had already gone to her office.
Seating on the leather couch, Margaret was watching television. As for Connor, he was busy cooking and cleaning just like he
always did in the Smith residence.
The only difference was that Jonathan no longer needed to do them, as Margaret didn’t dare force him to.
“Jonathan, you’re awake!” When she saw Jonathan come downstairs, Margaret sprang up from the sofa. “Jonathan, are you
hungry? Shall I make you a bowl of oatmeal porridge?”
“Whatever you have to say, spit it out!” With Josephine out, there was no need for Jonathan to be cordial with Margaret.
After all, Margaret would never be nice unless she had an agenda.
“Can’t I just show you some concern?” Margaret forced an awkward smile. “Jonathan, the next time you head to Jazona, why
don’t you introduce us to the King of War? Coincidentally, your dad is going there in the next few days. Why don’t you come
along with us?”
They had barely spoken, and Margaret had already revealed her agenda.
When she mentioned his dad, she was obviously talking about Connor.
“I’m busy these few days. Some other time then,” Jonathan rejected her outright.
Do I even need to travel and see Zachary personally? All I need is to make a call, and he will appear right before me.
“What can you be busy with?” Margaret’s expression turned solemn after Jonathan rebuffed her. She even regretted calling him
by his name instead of a cowardly piece of trash.
“Am I obliged to report my business to you?” Jonathan glared coldly at her and was in no mood for idle chatter.
“What’s with that attitude of yours?” Margaret’s temper was about to flare when she suddenly remembered that she was staying
in Jonathan’s house. Hence, she suppressed it at once. “In that case, when will you have time to go with Josephine to complete

the transfer of ownership for the house?”
The only reason she tolerated Jonathan was that the mansion still wasn’t in Josephine’s name.
Once the ownership has changed, Jonathan wouldn’t dare talk to me like that anymore. In fact, I would have kicked him out of
the house a long time ago.
“It will depend on my mood.” Ignoring her, Jonathan walked out of the house.
Although there were no longer any guards stationed in front of the mansion, there would be someone patrolling every few
minutes. Obviously, Ivana had decided it on her own accord.
However, Jonathan didn’t want to be a busybody. After walking for a short while, he arrived at the entrance of Edenic Heights.
Casually lighting up a cigarette, Jonathan looked in the direction of a piece of empty land and yelled, “Come out!”
However, there was no response at all.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Jonathan asserted in a frosty voice, “I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t come out, I’ll send you to
the Northern Crimson Prison for one year together with Zachary!”
Just as he spoke, the bushes in front of him rustled. The next moment, a few figures in military fatigues and camouflage face
paint appeared before him.
In their lead was Andrew, whom Jonathan had run into at the Phoenix International Hotel.
“Commander!”
Andrew looked embarrassed. “How did you notice our presence?”
“Did you actually think you could get past me with that lousy camouflage of yours?” Jonathan shot a glare at them. Ever since he
left Phoenix International Hotel, he had already noticed them tailing him.
He was just too lazy to be bothered by it.
Andrew explained awkwardly. “Commander, the King of War insisted that we follow you.”
In front of Jonathan, Andrew didn’t dare lie at all.

After all, one wouldn’t lie to Asura unless one had a death wish.
“I know,” Jonathan replied plainly. “The reason I want to speak to you isn’t about you tailing me. Instead, I want to ask you if you
know any real estate firms in Jadeborough?”
“Real estate firms?” Andrew scratched his head. “Commander, why are you looking for one? Do you still want to buy a house or
something?”
“I’m thinking of buying a real estate firm,” Jonathan casually answered.
Acquiring a real estate firm? Andrew was even more confused.
Everything under the sun can be commandeered by Asura, so what is the point in taking over a real estate firm?
“I do know some. However, I’m not sure if they are willing to sell,” Andrew replied in an uncertain tone.
If I tell them that the buyer is Asura, they would definitely agree without hesitation. However, if Jonathan wants to hide his
identity, their response would be entirely different.
“Money is not going to be a problem. Anyway, get this done before two in the afternoon,” Jonathan ordered as he was in no
mood for idle chatter. After all, Andrew would definitely not object.
“Two in the afternoon?”
Andrew looked perplexed. “Commander, isn’t it a little too tight? It’s already ten now.”
“Hmm?” When Jonathan gave him the side-eye, Andrew was so frightened that he saluted at once. “Yes, Commander. I’ll
complete the mission!”
“Get it done before two, and I will look past the fact that you tailed me. If you fail, prepare to spend the rest of your life in the
Northern Crimson Prison!” The moment he finished, Jonathan turned his head and left.
He didn’t even give Andrew the opportunity to protest.
“Sir, what do you think the commander wants to buy a real estate firm for?” Andrew’s subordinates asked curiously after
Jonathan had left.

Why don’t they ask Jonathan when he was around?
“It’s a military secret!” Andrew glared fiercely at them. “I’ll give you one hour to find out which are the top ten real estate firms in
Jadeborough. After that, gather them for a meeting at our base. Tell them that whoever is absent had better pack up and prepare
to be kicked out of Jazona!”
“Yes! Commander!”
The soldiers didn’t dare refuse. However, before they went on their way, one of them couldn’t resist asking, “Sir, are we gathering
them in your name?”
“Are you a f*cking idiot?”
Andrew gave him a kick. “Use the King of War’s name!”
Obviously, we should be passing the buck to the King of War under such circumstances.
“If the King of War finds out that we falsely used his name...” The soldiers were seized by fear. The mere mention of the King of
War would invoke the previous trauma they had experienced.
“So what if he knows?” Andrew snorted. “Even if he does, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and bear with it. It’s not like he
would dare to let his temper flare.”
After all, acquiring a real estate firm is Asura’s idea. So what if the King of War finds out? He will be resigned to accepting it just
like everyone else.
The thought of the King of War desperately suppressing his rage elicited a chuckle from Andrew. However, he quickly regained
his composure and berated, “What are you spacing out for? Get on with your work right away!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The soldiers turned and left without another word.
