The Legendary Man
Chapter 41 Humiliation âAre you indicating youâre different from the way you look? Have you ever seen this key I have with me? Iâm sure you havenât because youâve never had the chance to go for a ride in a BMW throughout your entire life!â
The headlamps of the luxurious BMW behind her flickered once she unlocked the car using the remote control after finishing her rhetorical question.
Jonathan burst out laughing and commented, âHuh? Since when have others started considering BMW a luxurious vehicle? I wouldnât even want it if you offered me one!â
How dare she show off something thatâs worth a little less than half a million in front of me?
âIs that your sense of pride speaking? Do you even know how much this costs? Iâm afraid the two of you canât even accumulate enough even after working your asses off for the down payment of the car because itâs going to cost you three hundred thousand in total!â
We know sheâs relied on that electric scooter of hers to commute to work for the past half a decade because she couldnât even afford an ordinary car that would cost her more than forty thousand! Thereâs no way she can afford a freaking BMW when she canât even get herself a car!
Jonathan added, âIs that a big deal? I mean, is three hundred thousand a lot?â
My main mode of transport is a helicopter! A chopper is going to cost tens of millions to produce! On top of that, the ones I have are custom-made to fulfill my needs! Those cost at least a hundred million each! Itâs not an exaggeration to consider a BMW inferior to those, is it?
âWhat sort of car do you think qualifies the ranks of luxury cars?â Zoey asked in an attempt to push Jonathan to his limits.
âCars that cost at least a million!â
Instead of squabbling with Jonathan, Zoey yelled at Josephine, âAt least a million? I doubt if youâve even touched one as expensive as that before! Josephine, how the hell did you get yourself acquainted with this man over here? If heâs so rich, get him to do something about your trashy scooter!â
She rolled her eyes and remarked to Jonathan, âStop talking shit when you donât have the capability to back your words up. All youâre doing is just humiliating Josephine.â
Zoey sashayed into the office ahead of Josephine. Jonathan was about to say something, but he kept everything to himself when he caught a glimpse of Josephineâs grim look.
She resisted the urge to let her emotions loose and announced while gritting her teeth, âJonathan, return home at once and get out of my sight!â
âHuh? Whatâs wrong, Josephine?â Jonathanâs confusion was written all over his face.
Josephine could no longer contain her rage. She yelled, âAre you seriously asking me why? I canât take it anymore, Jonathan! When will you ever stop bluffing and exaggerating things?â
âIt wasnât a bluff! I havenât been exaggerating things either! I really want to get you a carââ
Whatâs the matter? Itâs just a luxury car thatâs going to cost me nothing more than a million! Why would she think itâs a bluff?
Josephine got increasingly infuriated when she heard him. âHavenât you had enough of embarrassing yourself and me? When will you stop living in your imaginary world? Have I not told you itâs not a big deal if youâre poor? Itâs embarrassing whenever you allow your ego to get the better of you and start acting as if youâre a member of the upper echelon!â
Unable to stand the manâs presence any longer, she stomped her way to the office the moment she finished her sentence.
This is more than enough! Why hasnât he changed at all when itâs already been three years? Will he ever learn to carry himself more humbly?
Staring at the infuriated womanâs departing figure, the stupefied Jonathan murmured, âWhatâs the matter, Josephine? Itâs just a car, isnât it? If the worldâs the thing you want, Iâll conquer it and hand it over to you!â
Seconds after Josephineâs departure, Jonathan reached for his phone and made a call, asking in a serious tone, âHave you purchased the mansion I needed?â On top of a car, Jonathan thought of getting Josephine the most extravagant mansion in Jadeborough.
Harrison, who was on the other end of the call, assured Jonathan, âMr. Goldstein, the mansion is ready.
Initially, the owner was against the idea of selling it, but he changed his mind when he found out the almighty Asura would be the one purchasing it. If Iâm not mistaken, he has only just renovated the entire place recently.â
It turned out he had gotten in touch with Harrison to have him sort out everything on his behalf.
âGood job. How much did it cost you?â
âItâs not much, Mr. Goldstein! Just consider this a token of gratitude from me!â
As much as Harrison was against the idea of accepting Jonathanâs payment, Jonathan repeated his question, âHow much is it?â
âT-Two hundred million!â Harrison answered with his voice quivering.
âDrop by my place in two days to collect the payment.â
Two hundred million in return for the most extravagant mansion at Jadeborough was considered an absolute steal when it cost him more than ten billion to acquire his palace at Yaleview and get it renovated.
âMy wife, Josephine, will be the owner of the mansion.â
âYes, Mr. Goldstein.â
âSpeaking of which, do you know where I can get myself a luxury car in Jadeborough?â
âMr. Goldstein, do you need a car? Iâm actually the owner of a car dealership! Why donât you drop by and get yourself a Lamborghini?â
Lamborghini? I guess itâs not half bad as a gift for Josephine!
âSure, Iâll drop by in a while! Can you text me the address of the store?â
âS-Shall I head over to welcome you?â
âNah, Iâll head over and get everything done as soon as possible.â Jonathan was against the idea of Harrison tagging along, or else he would be in the limelight again.
The staff might do Harrison a favor and offer me an incredibly low price. I may get to leave the store without paying anything, but thatâs not what I want. I donât wish to take advantage of him since itâs nothing I canât afford.
âAll right, Iâll text you the address immediately.â Harrison carried himself in a humble manner even though it was nothing more than a phone call.
Jonathan hung up the call once he wrapped up the conversation with Harrison. On the other hand, Harrison made a call and instructed the person in charge of the car dealership, âAn important guest of mine will visit the store in a short while! You know the protocol, donât you?â
