Chapter 442 Chanaea Is Undefeatable
Thud!
Misalov was thrown out of the door by Josiah’s subordinate, and the former fell heavily to the ground.
As the chief consultant of Salonius Corporation, there was no way he could take such humiliation.
He gritted his teeth so hard that he almost crushed his teeth. The fury in his eyes was so intense that they could almost spew fire.
“Idiots! You lowly Chanaeans! How dare you treat me like this?
I’m going to make you pay one day!” Misalov bellowed at the entrance of the auction house, his eyes filled with viciousness.
However, a pin-drop silence ensued the private room.
Everyone’s gazes that were fixed on Jonathan were filled with shock and disbelief.
Who is this young man in his twenties? Josiah’s the second-highest ranking officer and Durbaine’s governor. Why is he trembling after seeing the man? He’s even treating the young man with respect!
Even Sandra, who had been through all kinds of upheavals, could not help but feel a chill run down her spine.
The fact that her incompetent brother had offended such a powerful existence was mind-boggling. She could imagine Jonathan turning the entire Haberly family into ashes with just a flick of his finger.
For him, crushing her family was as simple as squashing an ant.
Their business that had been operating for generations would be completely destroyed.
At that thought, Sandra hesitated no more and kicked Miles in the knee.
Thud!
Miles felt heavily to his knees. Before he could even react, Sandra pressed his head down as she got to her knees before Jonathan.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
After knocking his head over a dozen times on the ground, Miles’ forehead was covered in blood. He was in such a disheveled state that no one could recognize what he originally looked like.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Goldstein! It’s this prodigal’s fault for not knowing better and bumping into you. Please forgive him!” Sandra implored humbly.
However, Josiah merely snorted at her words. “Your family is quite the bold one, eh? How dare you guys disrespect Mr. Goldstein? It looks like we can’t keep the Haberly family here in Durbaine anymore.”
Sandra’s face turned pale instantly.
Though Josiah’s words were not ruthless, the meaning implied was very clear.
Obviously, he was threatening the Haberly family.
“Mr. Zeimet, Miles is already kicked out of the family. What he did has nothing to do with the Haberly family.” To everyone’s surprise, Sandra severed ties with Miles without hesitation.
A suffocating silence engulfed the auction house.
The crowd could not believe the high and mighty daughter of the Haberly family would appear so pathetic one day. They would never be able to imagine the scene had they not seen it with their own eyes.
Josiah’s expression was grim and frosty. “Hah. Are you cutting ties now? Can your family really cut ties with Miles?”
“Josiah!” Logan barked in a deep voice and shot him a glare. “Don’t you think you’re going overboard?”
Beads of sweat appeared on Josiah’s forehead, his back completely drenched.
Taking the initiative to make decisions on a superior’s behalf was a great taboo in every industry.
Josiah paled immediately, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
“Mr. Goldstein, I didn’t mean to—”
Jonathan glanced at Miles, whose face was stained with blood. “As I said, I’ve already given Miles the punishment he deserves. This has nothing to do with the Haberly family. Leave.”
Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, Sandra heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground like she was made of mud. She kept her head lowered for so long that she did not know when Jonathan left.
As the crowd left the auction house, cold air blew into the building.
Josiah sneaked a glance at Jonathan and bent over respectfully. “Mr. Goldstein, I’ve already instructed someone to clean the governor’s office. Please go in and get some rest.”
“No, it’s fine,” Jonathan rejected.
He was still thinking about the dragon-patterned jade pendant. He wanted to make good use of the time he had to study it and find out its relationship with Heaven Sword.
However, before leaving the place, he reminded Josiah, “Though you’re in charge of Durbaine, I need you to keep something in mind. This is Chanaea’s territory. No foreigners are allowed to act barbarically on Chanaea’s land. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein.” Those simple words were like thunder that sent a wave of shock into Josiah.
His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees, looking utterly terrified. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldstein. I promise this won’t happen in the future.”
“Get up. Make sure you keep this in mind.” With that, Jonathan turned on his heels and walked away. He could not be bothered to continue talking to Josiah.
As soon as Jonathan left, Logan, who was walking behind him, stared intently at Josiah. Suddenly, Logan stopped in his tracks. “Josiah, there are some things you have to engrave deeply in your mind. Mr. Goldstein was the one who helped us to regain our dignity back then. Don’t you dare throw it all away. Otherwise, even I won’t forgive you, let alone Mr. Goldstein.”
Back then, Jonathan alone led millions of their soldiers to fight against their enemies. Anyone who tried to stop him died.
Be it organizations from other countries or local warlords; no one was a match for him.
He used three whole years to let the world know that Chanaeans could never be defeated.
Chanaea could never be overcome.
Though three years had passed, some people still could not stand because their spines had been crushed.
With that, Logan said nothing more and quickly ran after Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Josiah watched them depart and finally let out a long sigh.
In the end, he chose to say nothing.
When everyone had left after the auction, a black car stopped outside in a hurry, and a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup stumbled out of the vehicle.
“Mom, why did you come?” Sandra walked over with a frown.
The middle-aged woman widened her eyes in fury and anxiousness, roaring, “How can I not? I heard your brother almost got beaten to death! Where’s that man? Where is he?”
“Well, guess what? Your precious son almost destroyed our entire family. Why are you still bringing him up? I’ve already kicked him out of the family!” Sandra’s expression darkened.
The middle-aged woman panicked upon hearing Sandra’s words. The former started shouting, “Sandra Haberly! Where did you get the courage to kick my son out of the family? Do you really think you have the final say in the Haberly family? Have you forgotten about your grandfather?”
Right then, she spotted Miles’ face, which was drenched in blood. She immediately let out an ear-piercing shriek and lifted her head to glare at Sandra. Gritting her teeth, she warned, “Sandra, how dare you put my son in such a state? I’m going to make you pay!”
