Chapter 146
The Legendary Man
Chapter 146 Meeting Asura Can this Mr. Warhol be a fake? Perhaps Jonathan paid an actor to masquerade as the governor?
At that very moment, the same thought crossed everyoneâs mind.
After all, no one could fathom why Kingstone, the governor of Jazona, would want to kneel in deference to Jonathan.
âDo you know why I called you here to see me?â Jonathan asked as he gave Kingstone a dispassionate glance.
âNo, I donât.â Kingstone shook his head.
âIs he the secretary of the governorâs office?â Jonathan inquired as he casually pointed at Henry.
âYes, he is!â
When Kingstone turned around and shot Henry a glance, it sent a chill down Henryâs spine, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
What a terrifying gaze!
As Kingstoneâs personal secretary, Henry could easily read the look in Kingstoneâs eyes.
He knew that Kingstone would only give him that look whenever he was angry with him.
âDid he offend you?â Kingstone probed carefully as he looked in Jonathanâs direction.
âNot really.â Jonathan elaborated in an indifferent tone, âAll he did was abuse his authority as the secretary-general to mobilize the Divine Dragon Guards. Furthermore, he even ordered them to execute me on the spot.â
âWhat?â
When he heard Jonathanâs accusations against Henry, Kingstoneâs expression fell.
The secretary of the governorâs office deployed the Divine Dragon Guards on his own accord and even ordered them to kill Jonathan? Is he trying to stage a rebellion?
âKingstone, it seems the governorâs office is getting ahead of itself. Without Zacharyâs orders, it has mobilized the Divine Dragon Guards on its own accord and even ordered them to execute me. Do you intend to replace the King of War Division and take over Jazona?â Jonathan stared at Kingstone coldly.
âAfter a few days, do you also plan to take over Asuraâs residence?â
Although Jonathan wasnât speaking loudly, it was enough to strike fear into Kingstone, to the extent his knees went wobbly.
Even though he was the second most powerful man in Jazona, he was still a lowly governor from Jonathanâs perspective.
A single word from Jonathan was enough to imprison him.
âIâm sorry, Asura. Itâs my fault. Iâm ready to accept any punishment you mete out.â In front of Jonathan, Kingstone didnât dare protest nor defend himself.
After all, a mistake was undoubtedly still a mistake, even if it was his secretary who had committed it.
He didnât dare retort in any way, as his secretary represented both him and the governorâs office.
Consequently, he had no choice but to accept the responsibility for the mistake, even if he had not personally done it.
âYou deserve to be punished!â Jonathan scoffed. âAs the governor of Jazona, you canât even keep a handle on your secretary. How are you going to manage the entire state of Jazona? It seems to me that you no longer deserve to be the governor.â
âYes, Asura. I admit my mistake!â Just like a child who knew he had done something wrong, Kingstone didnât even dare breathe while he knelt in front of Jonathan.
If they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe the person kneeling in front of Jonathan was Kingstone, the mighty governor of Jazona.
âI donât want to listen to your nonsense. Iâll give you one minute. Take care of this mess, or Iâll take care of you.â Not wanting to waste any time, Jonathan gave him one minute.
âYes!â
Upon Jonathanâs order, Kingstone didnât dare waste another second. Getting up at once, he turned to Henry. âMr. Chandler? Youâre fired! From today onward, youâre no longer the secretary of the governorâs office.â
Not giving Henry any chance to respond, Kingstone waved his hand and declared, âMen, capture him and bring him back for questioning. Also, arrange for an investigation into his activities these past few years to see if he was involved in anything illegal.â
âRight away, Mr. Warhol!â
Without a momentâs hesitation, the few middle-aged men who came in with Kingstone stepped forward to restrain Henry. When he realized what was about to happen, Henry dropped to his knees and pleaded with Kingstone, âMr. Warhol, Iâm sorry! I beg of you, please show me some mercy! Considering that I have worked for you for so many years, Iâm sure my efforts must definitely be worth something.
Therefore, please give me another chance!â
âDonât blame me for this. Instead, you should blame yourself for offending someone you shouldnât have.â Kingstone didnât pity Henry at all because he had no illusions as to how he was appointed governor of Jazona.
Without Jonathanâs approval, there was no way he could have been allowed in that position.
âTake him away!â Kingstone gestured with his hand.
Even though Henry was crying out in a pitiful manner, no one paid him any attention.
After all, no one had the guts to go against Kingstone.
âAs for the few of them, take them away as well!â Raising his hand, Kingstone pointed at the few middle-aged men who came together with Henry. There was no way he was letting them off the hook.
âYes, Sir!â
Upon hearing Kingstoneâs orders, the arrogant Henry had collapsed onto the ground with an ashen expression.
Not daring to resist, he resigned himself to be taken away by Kingstoneâs subordinates.
âYou must be the Divine Dragon Guards. You can go back now as I will tie up the loose ends here,â
Kingstone instructed as he looked at the captain for the first time.
âYes, Sir!â
Given that Kingstone was going to deal with the aftermath and Henry, who had requested their help, had been taken away, the Divine Dragon Guards no longer had any business there.
However, the captain didnât leave with his men at once. Instead, he suddenly stood at attention with military precision before dropping to his knees with a thud in front of Jonathan.
âCaptain Liam Galahad of the Divine Dragon Guards Special Forces Team Two, reporting for duty to Asura!â
Reporting for duty to Asura?
The moment Liam finished, everyone present felt as if their mind was blown.
How is this possible? How can Jonathan actually be Asura?
Thereâs only one Asura in Chanaeaâthe one who led the Four Asura Guards to defeat all his enemies and united the nation.
Jonathan is Asura? How can that be?
No one could believe it, nor were they willing to do so. Just when they were still mired in shock, all the other Divine Dragon Guards joined their captain on his knees without any hesitation.
âDivine Dragon Guards Special Forces Team Two, reporting for duty, Sir!â
âH-How is this possible?â Everyone present was filled with disbelief at what had just unfolded before them.
Hunter, in particular, was so shocked that he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Gaping, he stared blankly at what was going on, unable to accept any of it.
âHow is this possible? How can he be Asura?â
