The Legendary Man Chapter 316

One Condition

Obviously, she wasn’t.

Sophia knew that once she agreed to it, she stood to inherit assets that were worth billions in the blink of an eye.

She would become the first billionaire from Yaleview in the history of Chanaea.

Jonathan smiled at Sophia when he heard that. “Why not? What’s the difference between transferring the assets to your name or the Goldstein family name? Don’t forget that you are the head of the Goldstein family.”

“I don’t care. I just don’t want them. I am not interested in being the head of the Goldstein family. Whoever is interested can be the head of the family,” Sophia flatly refused. She was adamant about not accepting Jonathan’s offer.

She knew her personality best.

She was not interested in being the head of the Goldstein family, let alone the owner of the four prominent families’ assets.

“Then should I give it to someone else?” Jonathan gave Sophia a quick glance.

Sophia looked disinterested. “Do whatever you wish. You can give it to whoever you want. Just don’t give it to me.”

“You’re really hot-tempered.” Seeing how Sophia had rejected his offer without hesitation, Jonathan let out a laugh as he turned to Andy. “Let’s do this. Deploy some men over from Asura’s Office and take over the assets from the four prominent families. When the great Ms. Sophia is ready to take over, get someone to do the handover with her.”

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Andy replied immediately as he nodded.

“Let’s go.” Jonathan looked down at Sophia as he prepared to leave. Just as he was about to step out of the door, Andy called out to him, “Mr. Goldstein!”

“What’s the matter?” Baffled, Jonathan turned around. He saw that Andy was about to say something, but he seemed to be holding back.

“Mr. Goldstein, I have a favor to ask of you…” Andy hesitated, looking a little uncomfortable.

Jonathan frowned. “What’s the matter? Speak up! Don’t hem and haw like a woman!”

“Uh, I would like to know if you have anything important to do these few days. If you have some time, I would like to ask for your help on something.” Scratching his head, Andy looked awkwardly at Jonathan.

“Just spit it out quickly!” Jonathan detected a falter in Andy’s voice and felt the urge to kick him.

Andy was one of the four Kings of War of Asura’s Office, yet he was squirming like a woman.

“Uh, our annual live-fire drill is approaching.” Andy looked at Jonathan nervously. He spoke in an almost inaudible whisper, “Can you help whip those good-for-nothings in my team into shape?”

“What did you say? Speak louder!” Jonathan glared hard at Andy.

“I’m saying, Mr. Goldstein, can you please help whip those good-for-nothings in my team into shape?”

Gritting his teeth, Andy declared, “I want to come in first in the live-fire drill this time.”

“It’s none of my business whether you come in first. You want me to help whip those men into shape? Why don’t I whip you into shape as well?” Jonathan could not help scowling at the man.

“If you don’t mind, you can also whip me into shape!” Andy’s response was direct and unashamed.

“Scram!” Annoyed, Jonathan did not even bother to look at Andy. “I have no time!”

“Mr. Goldstein, please help me this time. The Dragon Scale Guards are always number two from the bottom of the chart. If we lose again this year, I’ll be so humiliated.” Andy immediately fell to his knees in front of Jonathan and tugged at Jonathan’s pants. “Mr. Goldstein, I won’t get up if you don’t help me.”

“Get away from me!” Displeased, Jonathan kicked Andy. “Look at yourself. You don’t look like a King of War at all. I must be blind to pick you for Asura’s office back then.”

Jonathan felt that Andy had none of the commanding presence of a King of War.

He looks more like a gangster now. A scoundrel!

“I don’t care, Mr. Goldstein. I’ll kneel here until you agree to help me!” Andy picked up this tactic from Sophia earlier.

“Ms. Sophia, please help me to talk to Mr. Goldstein. Ask him to help me!” When Andy saw that Jonathan remained unmoved by his pleas, he turned to Sophia for help.

“He may not listen to me either.” Sophia thought she was powerless to intervene in the matter.

However, she felt obliged to speak up for Andy since the King of War was kneeling in front of her and asking for help.

“Jonathan, why don’t you help him?” Sophia looked at her nephew inquiringly.

“No. If I help him, what will happen if the other seven of them come to know about it?” Jonathan stared fiercely at Andy.

He now knew why Andy brought his team back to see him after wiping out the four prominent families.

He had set a trap for Jonathan, waiting for him to fall into it.

“They won’t know! Mr. Goldstein, you can join us under a disguise and with a pseudonym. I can tell the others that I hired a part-time coach for the team. No one will know that you are leading the team on my behalf if I don’t tell them.”

“So you’ve already got it all worked out, huh? Looks like you’ve been planning to set me up for a long time.” Jonathan’s face darkened.

“No, I only thought of this a while ago.” Andy scratched his head sheepishly.

Just as he looked up to meet Jonathan’s gaze, he had a foreboding of danger. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Having worked for Jonathan so so many years, he knew very well what that look meant. He shuddered at those thoughts.

Oh no! I’m doomed this time. I won’t be able to get away, for sure!

“All right. I can help you, but I have one condition.” Jonathan cast a glance at Andy.

“Mr. Goldstein, tell me. I’ll agree to any condition.” Andy was elated when Jonathan finally relented. He would do whatever Jonathan wanted without any hesitation.

“You said it yourself!” A faint smile flashed across Jonathan’s face when he heard what Andy said. “After this live-fire drill, I want you to lead your team to West Region and conquer it within a month’s time. If you can’t do that, you can bring your decapitated head to meet me.”

“Conquer West Region?”

Andy’s face turned ashen immediately. “Mr. Goldstein, how many men do you intend to let me bring with me?”

“A hundred thousand Dragon Scale Guards. Is that enough?” Jonathan gave an offhand reply.

“A hundred thousand Dragon Scale Guards?”

Andy frowned, and deep lines appeared between his eyebrows. “Mr. Goldstein, are you perhaps… joking with me?”
