The Legendary Man Chapter 791

The Legendary Man Chapter 791-“What?” Hossom, who was about to leave, froze momentarily when he heard what Jonathan said.

Hossom glanced at Jonathan warily. “What are you planning to do?”

“Nothing.” Jonathan chuckled while looking at Hossom. “Hossom, don’t you want to know what mysterious treasures Bazar Temple holds? If I were to distract all the cultivators in Bazar Temple, wouldn’t you be able to enter Bazar Temple as you please and explore the place? You see yourself as a great thief, no? In that case, are you sure you don’t want to explore a place no one has been to before?”

Although Jonathan was acting casual when he spoke, he was actually taking advantage of Hossom’s trouble-seeking nature. Hossom has the same characteristic as all mountaineers. They’re always thinking about exploring uncharted grounds. That’s just who Hossom is. When I saw him whipping out the diamond he stole from the Seboxia statue back then, I knew instantly that he wouldn’t give up a chance to explore Bazar Temple if the chance arose. Money means nothing to Hossom. When he took that diamond, he was showing the world he had been to Bazar Temple and gotten out safely. Nevertheless, he merely took a diamond, so most people in the world were unperturbed. Evidently, that diamond isn’t enough to make Hossom known internationally. This time around, what I’m doing is going to help him change that.

Jonathan couldn’t help but smile faintly when he saw Hossom stopping in his tracks. “Hossom, you’re only in the advanced phase of Grandmaster Realm. Although you’re almost as capable as I am, you’re still not strong enough to break through the defense of Bazar Temple on your own. With that being said, I believe in your talents, and I know you’re going to achieve God Realm in a few years’ time. But you need to think it through. When you don’t strive for something you want badly, it’s going to haunt you as you progress. Besides, trust me when I say that regardless of whether you’re in Grandmaster Realm or God Realm, I’m the only one who can help you cause a disturbance for the people from Bazar Temple.”

As Jonathan talked, he was leaning into his chair and resting his eyes leisurely.

From the scene alone, someone without prior knowledge of what was going on would think that Hossom was the one asking Jonathan for help.

Meanwhile, Hossom was clenching his fists with a scowl on his face as he stood back-facing Jonathan.

Indeed, every single one of Jonathan’s words pierced his heart.

Back then, Hossom was merely acting heedlessly and stealing for fun.

At that moment, however, Jonathan’s words had tempted his inner demon.

Hossom wasn’t worried about not finding out what was hidden inside Bazar Temple. Instead, he was worried about the possibility that he could be haunted by the fact that he had given up on a chance to find out what was really going on in Bazar Temple.

He knew that Jonathan was tricking him but was also giving him a chance to satisfy his inner demons. By going into Bazar Temple to check things out, even if it were to merely uncover the truth of the place, Hossom would be satisfied.

Jonathan is trying to get me involved by saying all that, and he has just made me an offer I can’t refuse!

Hossom slowly turned around and shot Jonathan a cold look. “Jonathan, you’re a b*stard.”

Jonathan responded with a chuckle and asked, “I never said I was a gentleman, though?”

“I admit my method is rather despicable. However, you can’t deny the fact that, apart from me, no one else would risk their lives by going into Bazar Temple with you,” Jonathan added.

At that point, Hossom was staring at Jonathan with murderous intent.

Needless to say, Hossom was so angry that all he could think about was killing Jonathan.

It took Hossom a minute to calm himself down before saying, “Prima’s grandpa stays in an elderly home in Crowsaint. He’s her only family. Prima has a unique identity, but her grandpa isn’t a preacher. Hence, letting him stay in Bazar Temple was not possible. She has no choice but to visit him once every month. Crowsaint is located in a mountain resort near the border of Newcove. That’s the best elderly home in Newcove, so everyone there is either rich or influential. I tricked Prima nearby the elderly home the last time around.”

With that, Hossom casually took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him.

He then opened the bottle and downed the wine before saying, “Usually, Prima would visit Crowsaint on the fifteenth of every month. That’s the day after tomorrow. If you want to make your move, you ought to set the trap in advance. Also, I have a piece of advice for you. Prior to what I did, the divine messengers protecting Prima were all in the Grandmaster Realm in terms of cultivation level. Now, however, I’m not sure. She’ll most probably have divine messengers from the advanced phase God Realm protecting her now.”

After hearing those words, Jonathan switched on the tablet he had brought along with him.

After hearing those words, Jonathan switched on the tablet he had brought along with him.

That tablet was one of the combat command devices that only the elite personnel of Asura’s Office would be equipped with. The device had detailed maps of the West Region, Jetroina, Remdik, and other opposing countries.

Obviously, the maps were merely clearer than most satellite maps on the market.

However, it had one of the most advanced tracking functions available.

Upon zooming in, Jonathan finally found Crowsaint on the map.

“Hossom, you surely know the route Prima takes whenever she goes to Crowsaint, right? Show me.” Jonathan passed the tablet to Hossom, and Hossom was done with marking very quickly.

After giving the tablet back to Jonathan, Hossom said, “I’ve been tracking their movements for over eight months, and I’ve seen them taking five different routes. However, there’s one side road they must take to go up the mountain. That’s your best option.”

Jonathan furrowed his brows when he saw the side road called Longevity Lane. “No. Even if I were to act here and grab Prima, I can’t lure all the guards out of Bazar Temple from this location.”

Jonathan then looked at the five routes Hossom drew on the map and said, “The shortest route from Bazar Temple to Crowsaint is over thirty kilometers. There are four God Realm divine messengers in Bazar Temple, right? At most, only two of them will be escorting Prima. If I kidnap Prima in Crowsaint, it would be too far for the other divine messengers to leave the temple and come to her rescue. In that case, you won’t have a chance to enter the temple.”

Jonathan was deep in thought while looking at the tablet.

Seeing how hesitant Jonathan was, Hossom couldn’t help but ask, “Jonathan, there’s something I don’t quite understand. I know you’re making things easier for me by luring those people out. However, what good does it do for you? If I had the same objective as you, which is capturing Prima, I’d want her to be unprotected. So what exactly is your motive here?”

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?”
