He halted behind Josephine and patted favonovel.com head gently.
A corner of his mouth lifted as favonovel.com asked, “How is the discussion going?”
“It’s going along smoothly. We’re waiting for the construction of the ecological park to begin!” Josephine wasn’t as repelled by his touch as favonovel.com was previously. Instead, favonovel.com jutted favonovel.com nose up and turned at favonovel.com shoulder to ask, “Did you deal with the matter in Cranur?”
Jonathan answered, “Yes, it’s settled.”
He whipped his head around to look at Graham and inquired, “No one from Jazona came to try to stick their nose into the ecological park project, right?”
“No,” Graham shook his head.
After what happened to the Turners, no one dared to get involved in the ecological park project. They valued their lives, after all.
“I’m glad to hear that…”
Jonathan grabbed Josephine’s cup and took a sip. The bitter drink made favonovel.com frown unwittingly.
He glanced at Graham and stated, “For the next few months, keep an eye on the ecological park project together with Josephine. If something happens, I’ll hold you responsible.”
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein.” Graham inclined his head and gave a respectful bow.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After Jonathan finished his words, someone knocked on the door again.
Willow opened the door and came in with a cup of coffee.
“Boss, I brewed a cup of coffee for you. Here you go,” favonovel.com offered.
“No need…” Jonathan gave a dismissive wave. “I’ve gotten a sip of coffee…”
“Oh, I see…” Willow glanced at Josephine before noticing the cup in Jonathan’s hand. Instantly, favonovel.com covered favonovel.com mouth and tittered in delight.
Graham said, “Mr. Goldstein, we have wrapped up our discussion, so I shall take my leave. If anything crops up, just let me know.”
He then winked at Willow and pushed favonovel.com out of the room.
After they left, Jonathan wrapped his arms around Josephine and gave favonovel.com a back hug. He rested his chin on favonovel.com shoulder and whispered in favonovel.com ear, “Did you miss me when I wasn’t home?”
“Of course not!” Josephine snapped as favonovel.com body tensed up instinctively.
“Really?” Jonathan arched a brow. “If you don’t miss me, I’ll go find someone else…”
“Go ahead if you have the guts!”
Josephine immediately whipped favonovel.com head around in response to his words. However, the moment favonovel.com turned, Jonathan lowered his head and kissed her.
“Mm…” Josephine protested silently. It belatedly occurred to favonovel.com that favonovel.com had fallen into his trap again.
“What a fool. That was obviously a lie. Why would I find someone else?” Jonathan caressed favonovel.com head adoringly and chuckled.
He had waited three whole years for favonovel.com to fall in love with him, and there was no space for someone else in his heart.
“Don’t do that again. I’ll take it seriously,” Josephine whined as favonovel.com flung favonovel.com arms around favonovel.com and leaned into his embrace.
“All right!” Jonathan flashed a wry grin. “Come on. Let’s go home!”
“Okay.”
Josephine agreed and followed Jonathan out of the room. The moment they stepped out, they immediately spotted Graham and Willow whispering to each other. The couple didn’t even see them coming out of the room.
Right when they were about to walk over, they saw Graham giving Willow a peck on the forehead when favonovel.com wasn’t paying attention.
At once, Willow blushed shyly and punched Graham’s arm playfully.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb them.” Jonathan shook his head and smiled. He put an arm around Josephine to lead favonovel.com out of the café.
When they stepped out of the café, a gust of chilly wind blew in their face. Josephine immediately shivered and snuggled into Jonathan’s arms.
Jonathan was about to take his jacket off to offer it to Josephine when a ray of light flashed in front of favonovel.com all of a sudden.
Shit! This is a sniper’s telescopic gunsight!
Instantly, favonovel.com took action and pulled Josephine backward.
Bang!
Right when favonovel.com retreated, a golden bullet whizzed past his hair and hit the glass behind him.
Crash!
The glass window was smashed into pieces.
Both Graham and Willow jumped in fright, for they were standing right beside the window.
“Hurry, get back inside!” Jonathan grabbed Josephine’s hand and dragged favonovel.com back into the café.
Inside, Graham and Willow rushed over to them.
“Mr. Goldstein, what is going on?” they asked anxiously.
“Lock the door and windows. Before I return, no one is to leave the café!” Jonathan left a court order before favonovel.com ran out of the café swiftly.
Outside the café, the cold wind was blowing relentlessly.
Jonathan ignored the freezing weather and ran in the southwest direction.
The bullet was fired in the southwest direction, and there was only one building there. Judging by the speed of the bullet and the wind, Jonathan instantly identified the location of the sniper.
How dare favonovel.com fire at me? He must have a death wish!
Back when the Four Asura Guards swept past their enemies in battle under his lead, plenty of people had tried to assassinate him. If favonovel.com wasn’t capable of escaping danger, favonovel.com would’ve been dead by now. There was no way favonovel.com could have survived until now without any skills.
A few minutes later, the fuming Jonathan kicked the door to the rooftop open.
Not far away, a man decked in a black jacket was sprawled in a corner with his sniper aimed at the café.
Upon hearing the loud clang, favonovel.com whipped his head around and demanded, “Who is that?!”
Before favonovel.com could turn around, Jonathan had already marched forward and given his head a forceful punch.
“Someone who wants you dead!” was the answer favonovel.com received.
Jonathan wasn’t about to waste his time, and the sniper got punched before realizing what was going on.
After doing that, Jonathan took one step forward and stomped on the sniper’s chest.
Crack!
Upon impact, the loud crack of fracturing bones was heard. The sniper didn’t even get to see Jonathan’s face but was already on the verge of dying.
“W-Who are you?” favonovel.com asked weakly. He started coughing and spat out blood.
“You just fired a shot at me. Have you already forgotten who I am?” Jonathan squatted before favonovel.com in an authoritative manner.
“It’s you?” The sniper’s eyes went wide as favonovel.com belatedly recognized Jonathan.
“Are you surprised?” Jonathan scoffed icily at the sniper’s bewildered expression. “When you fired that shot, didn’t it occur to you that you’d lose your life if I don’t die?”
