The Legendary Man Chapter 784

The Legendary Man Chapter 784-Jonathan kept his voice low, but to Caspian, his words were as terrifying as a devil’s whisper from the depths of hell.

He had been on vacation at Newcove Sanatorium when he was suddenly captured and brought to his current location. During their journey, Kaga tortured him to extract information. However, he had kept his mouth shut and refused to disclose anything at all.

When he heard Jonathan’s words, Caspian finally understood why he had been captured.

The realization did not calm his thoughts. On the contrary, it made him even more fearful.

The poison in the weapon was not concocted by him. Naturally, he did not have an antidote on hand.

Jonathan’s face hardened when he noticed Caspian’s lips quivering.

“Caspian, we are all soldiers here. It’s nothing personal; just loyalty to our own motherland. If we were to meet on the battlefield, I would definitely kill you without hesitation, but since this is about a private matter, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. After all, you are not a key person in this conflict. All I want from you is the antidote. If you give it to me, I’ll let you go,” Jonathan said coolly.

Caspian’s face turned red in panic and desperation flooded his eyes.

“Jona… No, I mean, Asura!” Caspian called out to Jonathan in a shaky voice. “The poison wasn’t made by me. I got it from the High Priestess.”

The High Priestess?

Jonathan frowned and turned to Kaga and Hossom who were flanking him.

Although Chanaea and the West Region had been at war all year long, Jonathan’s understanding of the West Region was limited to its military structure.

The West Region was a country with complex religious beliefs. People of the West Region subscribed to a wide array of different religions. Even if Jonathan wanted to understand better, he did not have the time to learn them all.

As such, he had utterly no clue about the identity of the High Priestess.

On the other hand, Hossom and Kaga’s expressions shifted when they heard about the High Priestess.

However, both of them wore a different expression.

Kaga’s usual carefree and fearless look was replaced with a solemn frown.

Hossom, on the other hand, met Jonathan’s eyes for a brief second. Then, he quickly averted his gaze.

It was obvious that he was hiding something.

Kaga, too, cast a meaningful look at Hossom.

“Caspian, this High Priestess that you’re talking about… It’s not the one who’s stationed in the Newcove Bazar Temple all year round, right?”

“Yes, that’s her!” Caspian exclaimed, nodding fervently. “She was the one who gave me the poison. I don’t have the antidote with me…”

“Are you telling the truth?”

Kaga’s figure moved in a flash. Without a moment’s hesitation, she thrust her dagger all the way into Caspian’s thigh.

Kaga had not missed. She had pierced Caspian’s artery directly.

Caspian howled in pain.

The four Grandmasters standing outside the door manifested spirit shields to muffle Caspian’s voice and block his exit.

Kaga stared directly into Caspian’s eyes. Slowly and deliberately, she twisted the dagger in her hand, tormenting the man.

“Caspian, I’ll you give one final chance. Your wound is not fatal. If you hand over the antidote now, we’ll drop you at the nearest hospital. You will still regain full use of your leg with just one simple surgery. However, if I turn this dagger sideways, your leg will be completely useless. Think clearly before you open your mouth again.”

Kaga twisted the dagger slowly. Even Jonathan and Hossom felt their skins crawl looking at the blood that pooled between Caspian’s legs.

It did not escape Jonathan’s notice that Kaga wasn’t actually extorting a confession from Caspian but instead was reluctant to face the so-called High Priestess.

“I really don’t have the antidote…” Caspian screamed, his voice shrill with pain. “When the High Priestess gave the poison to me, she told me to use it cautiously because even she herself didn’t have an antidote for it… How can I possibly be hiding it if it doesn’t exist?”

Blood gushed out where the dagger was buried in his thigh.

Jonathan waved his hand and a spirit shield appeared between Kaga and Caspian, keeping Kaga away from the latter.

In response, the dagger was forcefully wrenched into Caspian’s thigh.

Caspian passed out from the pain and blood loss while Kaga stood up and sighed, swinging the dagger in her hand.

“Jonathan, I did my best. He really does not have the antidote.” Kaga gestured at the door. “Hey, you guys, take him away and kill him. Dispose of his body properly. Do not leave anything up to chance.”

After relaying her order, she slumped into the couch and nonchalantly dug into a bag of chips. It was impossible to imagine that carefree girl torturing a man so ruthlessly just a moment earlier.

The Grandmasters entered the room and dragged Caspian’s unconscious body away. Jonathan sat down opposite Kaga.

“Is that High Priestess a lot of trouble?” Jonathan asked plainly.

He knew that he need not beat around the bush with someone like Kaga.

Kaga turned toward Hossom, her hand that was holding a chip freezing in midair.

“Hossom, why don’t you tell him about her? Tell him who exactly is this High Priestess.”

Hossom flashed them an awkward smile.

“Ah… the High Priestess… What does she have to do with me? I don’t have anything to say.”

“Hossom, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t it you who seduced the High Priestess?” Kaga asked, smirking at Hossom.

Jonathan’s ears perked up at Kaga’s statement even though she had not revealed much.

Seduce… What a scandal!

Jonathan looked at Hossom with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

“Wow, Hossom, I never thought you’d be capable of that! So, is the Medved Army hunting after you because you tarnished their High Priestess?”

“Bullsh*t!” Hossom spat at Jonathan, rubbing his bald head self-consciously. “Well, I’m a thief, and we have our ways. We only go after treasures! Anyway, I did not tarnish her. I would never do that.”

“Really?” Kaga sneered, staring at Hossom. “Then, why did we receive news that the High Priestess had committed suicide in the name of love?”

A wide smile spread across Jonathan’s face following Kaga’s words.

He reached for a bag of chips and chuckled at Hossom.

“Come on, tell us about it. We’re all strangers here. What’s wrong with spilling your secret?”

At that moment, Jonathan’s gossipy nature as a Chanaean was fully revealed.

“Hossom, what exactly did you do to the High Priestess?”

“What could I have possibly done to her?” Hossom spat, his face turning red. “Well, you know me… I was the one who stole the diamond from the Seboxia statue. The Bazar Temple was heavily guarded, so I… had to find a way to sneak into the temple. So, I came up with a plan that involved the High Priestess…”

Chapter 1 The Return Of Asura

At Northern Crimson Prison located in Sanguine Desert, wind and sand swirled in the air, seemingly intent on submerging the entire prison. The prison confined the most sadistic murderers in the world, including serial killers who were the world's most wanted fugitives. That aside, the Rainy Night Butcher who had slaughtered a family of more than a dozen people and top-notch hackers who had infiltrated the Sanctum were also imprisoned there. Furthermore, the prison incarcerated the world's top killer who had failed to assassinate the leader of a particular country but annihilated more than a dozen special forces before going on the lam. Each and every single criminal imprisoned there had the blood of at least a dozen lives on their hands. Thus, their hands and legs were manacled with heavy iron chains. In front of their prison cells were fully armed guards who kept watch 24/7. The security was so tight that not even a fly could escape. However, there was an exception. The man seemingly never killed anyone and hadn't the slightest hint of murderous aura. In fact, it appeared as though he had been imprisoned there by mistake. There were no chains on his hands or feet, and he wasn't even wearing a prison uniform. No one knew his name, much less why he was being locked up in the prison. All they knew was that he came to Northern Crimson Prison alone a year ago without the escort of any guards. And surprisingly, the look in the eyes of the prison guards when they regarded him showed a faint trace of reverence. Bang! Bang! Bang! A prison guard holding a tray in his hand knocked on the man's prison door. “Mr. Goldstein, I'm here to deliver your meal!” “Okay. Just put it down.” The man didn't even bother to lift his head as he toyed with a Desert Eagle in his hands. In less than a minute, he had already disassembled the Desert Eagle and reassembled it perfectly. The speed of his hands was so swift that it would be nigh on impossible for even military personnel to trump him. “It's your last day here at Northern Crimson Prison, Mr. Goldstein!” The prison guard put the tray down, but he didn't leave. “It's been a year?” At long last, the man raised his head and revealed his countenance. He appeared to be very young, merely in his twenties. He wasn't fair but a touch tanned. The only intimidating thing about him was his eyes. They were sharp like blades, cold and devoid of emotion. The prison guard nodded slightly. “Yeah! The warden is already on his way back from abroad and will land in an hour.” “Why is he coming?” The man arched his eyebrow a fraction. “He's coming specially to see you off.” The warden of Northern Crimson Prison had been helming the place for decades, but he had never seen anyone off. At Northern Crimson Prison, he had a godlike existence and reigned supreme. No one dared to contradict him, let alone defy him. Yet, he was currently rushing back from abroad just to see the man off. The man sneered, his gaze cutting. “Hah! See me off, my foot! I think he wants to see me leave this place with his own eyes! As long as I'm at Northern Crimson Prison, he has no peace of mind! Tell him that he doesn't need to come and see me if he takes more than half an hour. Instead, just go back where he came from!” After saying that, he waved a dismissive hand and no longer paid the prison guard any mind. “Understood, Mr. Goldstein!” Lowering his head, the prison guard then left. A brief moment later, the man finally put down the Desert Eagle in his hands. His gaze turned a tad unfocused. “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. It seems that it's also time for me to leave this hellish place!” Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in military fatigues strode toward the prison right on the dot. The moment he stepped into the prison, the raucous place instantly plunged into silence. Not a single sound could be heard any longer. The inmates, who were usually violent and savage, acted as though they saw something terrifying at the sight of him. They were so petrified that they didn't even dare twitch a single muscle. And that person was none other than the warden of Northern Crimson Prison! Right that moment, he was cautiously knocking on the door of Cell No. 0. “I'm not late, am I, Mr. Goldstein?” The warden stood outside the door, not daring to enter without permission. “You're a second late.” The man known as Mr. Goldstein placidly glanced at him before waving a hand and drawling, “Come in.” “Right away, Mr. Goldstein!” The warden gingerly pushed the door open and walked in. “How did you find it here for the past year, Mr. Goldstein?” “Passable.” In a mild voice, the man expounded, “The food has been pretty good, but it has been too boring without a woman! How nauseating to be with a group of men day in and day out!” “As you know, Mr. Goldstein, no woman is allowed in this prison...” The warden wore an aggrieved expression. This is a prison, not a clubhouse! As such, what would it look like to smuggle in a few women? “Okay, drop that pitiful act!” The man threw him an impatient look. “Is it time yet?” “Yes!” Nodding, the warden declared, “You should be leaving, Mr. Goldstein!” “Let's leave, then!” No sooner had the man raised a hand than the warden immediately stepped forward and helped him up from the ground. “Mr. Goldstein, have you found the item you've been looking for in the past year?”
