Chapter 135
The Legendary Man
Chapter 135 Send You Across The Great Divide Over seven million? Converting into Chanaean currency, that would amount to about fifty million exactly!
âWhatâs this about seven million and an overseas bank account? This is all utter nonsense! I never had any bank account abroad, nor had I ever seen the alleged seven million!â Tavion hastily denied after hearing Zacharyâs declaration on the other end of the phone.
Alas, his denial had no effect on the man.
Zachary merely continued speaking. âAfter the seven over million were transferred into his account, he didnât use it at once. Instead, he left it there for a whole two years before using the money. And it so happens to be the capital he used to register Tavion Group. I also found out that the person who wired the money to him was the person in charge of the company who signed the bad contract with him back then!â
Every single utterance out of his mouth had a flicker of panic flashing across Tavionâs eyes. When he heard the last sentence, in particular, he screeched frantically as though he had lost his mind, âWho the hell are you? Stop slandering me! The capital I used to register Tavion Group was from the loan I took out! Whatâs this nonsense about an overseas bank account? Stop defaming me there! Come over here if youâve got the guts and confront me face to face!â
On the other end of the phone, Zachary seemed to have heard his ear-splitting shout, for he questioned icily, âAre you sure you want me to go and confront you face to face? If I truly do so today, Tavion Callahan, Iâm afraid that youâll never have the chance to continue living in this world anymore!
Anyhow, you should really appreciate the opportunity you have right now to holler and clamor before me. If it werenât for Mr. Goldstein holding me back, I wouldâve long since sent you to meet your maker!â
Iâm one of the four Kings of War, and I rule over the whole of Jazona! If it werenât for Mr. Goldstein warning me not to interfere in this matter, even Tavion Group wouldâve been wiped out in the blink of an eye with an order from me, not to mention an insignificant person like him!
âWho are you trying to scare? Come over here if youâve got the guts and show me how youâre going to send me to meet my maker!â Utter chagrin showed on Tavionâs face.
Did he think that Iâm a scaredy-cat? No matter what, Iâm the newest billionaire in Jazona and one of the ten most outstanding men in the city! Even Kingstone Warhol once came to meet me personally! Yet, a random nobody wants to send me to meet my maker? What a joke!
âMr. Goldstein, I also found some of his bank records in the past few years. Thereâs evidence of tax evasion and some illegal income, as well as proof of him bribing government officials. If you need them, Iâll send someone to bring them over to you anytime!â Zachary couldnât be bothered to entertain a fool like Tavion.
Heâs just an ant, unworthy to have me getting angry!
âNo, thatâs fine. Iâll resolve my own problem myself!â Hanging up the phone, Jonathan looked at Tavion impassively and drawled, âWhat else do you have to say now? Do you still want to continue acting here?â
By then, Tavion gave up maintaining the act as well. âStop trying to scare me, Jonathan! You want to dupe me by finding some extra to put on an act, huh? Do you think that Iâm so easily intimidated? What was that nonsense about tax evasion and bribery? I donât know anything about that!â
âWhether you committed tax evasion or bribery is none of my business, and Iâm not the least bit interested in that.â Regarding the man who was fuming, Jonathan admitted, âThe only reason I came to see you today is to verify whether my guess is correct, whether it was you who conspired with someone else back then and caused me to go bankrupt. And the facts proved that it was indeed you!
Honestly speaking, Iâd rather the truth be the other way round. No one had ever betrayed me in my entire life. Youâre the first and also the last! To pay for that price, Iâll personally send you across the great divide! You shouldâve died a few years ago anyway.â
The moment his words fell, he stalked toward the man.
With every step he took, Tavion took a step back. When he had gone as far as the corner of the table, he bellowed at the man with eyes blazing scarlet, âWhat do you want, Jonathan?â
âTo send you across the great divide,â Jonathan answered in a chilly voice.
âHave you lost your mind? You just want money, no? Iâll give it to you! Is ten million enough? If itâs not enough, Iâll give you fifty million or even a hundred million! Thatâs more than enough, right?â
Tavion cowered in the corner, gritting his teeth hard.
Iâve finally realized that heâs a damn lunatic!
âNo, itâs not enough even if you give me ten billion!â Jonathan hadnât the slightest bit of interest in money.
To him, it was just a figure.
If he wanted money, he could have even a hundred billion, not to mention ten billion.
The entire world belonged to him, so money had no meaning for him.
âYouâve gone mad! Youâre truly out of your mind!â Hearing that, Tavion was all the more convinced that the man had gone off his rocker. âJonathan, let me tell you thisâyouâll never be able to walk out of Empyrean Palace alive if you dare harm a single hair on my head today! Do you know my status now?
Iâm one of the ten most outstanding men in Jazona, and I have a net worth of several billion! Do you believe that you wonât be able to get out of here if you dare raise a hand against me?â
âNo.â Eyeing him dispassionately, Jonathan took a step forward and kicked him in the chest.
With that kick, Tavion ended up sprawling beneath the table before curling up like a ball.
âStop! Otherwise, Iâm going to lodge a police report!â Tavionâs secretary threatened with the phone in her hand just when Jonathan was about to reach the man himself.
âGo ahead.â Without even sparing her a glance, Jonathan stalked forward and kicked Tavion in the stomach again. âThe thing I abhor most in my life is betrayal, especially by someone I trust most!â
Four years ago, I wasnât yet Asura, nor had I accidentally broken into the military camp. At that time, he was the person I trusted most! Even after the company went bankrupt, I never held a grudge against him. But little did I know that the person who stabbed me the deepest in the back was none other than the person I trusted most!
âYes, lodge a police report! Quick! Heâs truly psycho!â Tavion, curled up on the ground, desperately shouted at his secretary after having coughed out a mouthful of blood.
âUnderstood!â Without further ado, the secretary phoned the police right away. âHello, is this the police?
Someone here wants to commit murder in the Supreme VIP Room in Empyrean Palace! Hurry up and send someone over!â
From the beginning till the end, Jonathan didnât stop her from lodging a police report. In fact, he didnât even spare her a single glance. Instead, he looked down at Tavion on the ground and surmised, âThose people who were hunting me down in the middle of the night three years ago was also your doing, wasnât it?â
