The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 316 One Condition Obviously, she wasnât.
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. âWhy not? Whatâs the difference between transferring the assets to your name or the Goldstein family name? Donât forget that you are the head of the Goldstein family.â
âI donât care. I just donât want them. I am not interested in being the head of the Goldstein family.
Whoever is interested can be the head of the family,â Sophia flatly refused. She was adamant about not accepting Jonathanâs 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 familiesâ assets.
âThen should I give it to someone else?â Jonathan gave Sophia a quick glance.
Sophia looked disinterested. âDo whatever you wish. You can give it to whoever you want. Just donât give it to me.â
âYouâre really hot-tempered.â Seeing how Sophia had rejected his offer without hesitation, Jonathan let out a laugh as he turned to Andy. âLetâs do this. Deploy some men over from Asuraâs 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.â
âYes, Mr. Goldstein!â Andy replied immediately as he nodded.
âLetâs go.â 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, âMr. Goldstein!â
âWhatâs the matter?â Baffled, Jonathan turned around. He saw that Andy was about to say something, but he seemed to be holding back.
âMr. Goldstein, I have a favor to ask of youâ¦â Andy hesitated, looking a little uncomfortable.
Jonathan frowned. âWhatâs the matter? Speak up! Donât hem and haw like a woman!â
âUh, 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.â Scratching his head, Andy looked awkwardly at Jonathan.
âJust spit it out quickly!â Jonathan detected a falter in Andyâs voice and felt the urge to kick him.
Andy was one of the four Kings of War of Asuraâs Office, yet he was squirming like a woman.
âUh, our annual live-fire drill is approaching.â Andy looked at Jonathan nervously. He spoke in an almost inaudible whisper, âCan you help whip those good-for-nothings in my team into shape?â
âWhat did you say? Speak louder!â Jonathan glared hard at Andy.
âIâm saying, Mr. Goldstein, can you please help whip those good-for-nothings in my team into shape?â
Gritting his teeth, Andy declared, âI want to come in first in the live-fire drill this time.â
âItâs none of my business whether you come in first. You want me to help whip those men into shape?
Why donât I whip you into shape as well?â Jonathan could not help scowling at the man.
âIf you donât mind, you can also whip me into shape!â Andyâs response was direct and unashamed.
âScram!â Annoyed, Jonathan did not even bother to look at Andy. âI have no time!â
âMr. 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, Iâll be so humiliated.â Andy immediately fell to his knees in front of Jonathan and tugged at Jonathanâs pants. âMr. Goldstein, I wonât get up if you donât help me.â
âGet away from me!â Displeased, Jonathan kicked Andy. âLook at yourself. You donât look like a King of War at all. I must be blind to pick you for Asuraâs office back then.â
Jonathan felt that Andy had none of the commanding presence of a King of War.
He looks more like a gangster now. A scoundrel!
âI donât care, Mr. Goldstein. Iâll kneel here until you agree to help me!â Andy picked up this tactic from Sophia earlier.
âMs. Sophia, please help me to talk to Mr. Goldstein. Ask him to help me!â When Andy saw that Jonathan remained unmoved by his pleas, he turned to Sophia for help.
âHe may not listen to me either.â 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.
âJonathan, why donât you help him?â Sophia looked at her nephew inquiringly.
âNo. If I help him, what will happen if the other seven of them come to know about it?â 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.
âThey wonât 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 donât tell them.â
âSo youâve already got it all worked out, huh? Looks like youâve been planning to set me up for a long time.â Jonathanâs face darkened.
âNo, I only thought of this a while ago.â Andy scratched his head sheepishly.
Just as he looked up to meet Jonathanâs gaze, he had a foreboding of danger.
Having worked for Jonathan so so many years, he knew very well what that look meant. He shuddered at those thoughts.
Oh no! Iâm doomed this time. I wonât be able to get away, for sure!
âAll right. I can help you, but I have one condition.â Jonathan cast a glance at Andy.
âMr. Goldstein, tell me. Iâll agree to any condition.â Andy was elated when Jonathan finally relented. He would do whatever Jonathan wanted without any hesitation.
âYou said it yourself!â A faint smile flashed across Jonathanâs face when he heard what Andy said.
âAfter this live-fire drill, I want you to lead your team to West Region and conquer it within a monthâs time. If you canât do that, you can bring your decapitated head to meet me.â
âConquer West Region?â
Andyâs face turned ashen immediately. âMr. Goldstein, how many men do you intend to let me bring with me?â
âA hundred thousand Dragon Scale Guards. Is that enough?â Jonathan gave an offhand reply.
âA hundred thousand Dragon Scale Guards?â
Andy frowned, and deep lines appeared between his eyebrows. âMr. Goldstein, are you perhapsâ¦
joking with me?â
