The Legendary Man

Chapter 625 Power Struggle

Meanwhile, Joshua was reading an ancient manuscript in the garden of his mansion in Zedfield, Yaleview. As he was reading, a young man slowly approached, holding a tray with a teacup and a teapot. “Commander, here’s your tea. It’s quality tea that arrived today. Please try it.”

“Okay.” Joshua leaned against his chair and nodded slightly. He put away the ancient manuscript in his hand and looked at the teapot and teacup on the table. Picking up the teacup and lifting the lid, he asked with a smile, “John, how long have you been working with me?”

The young man hurriedly bowed and replied, “Almost one and a half years, Commander.” “One and a half years, huh?” Joshua picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves floating in the teacup. “Now, that’s a long time.”

Just as he put the teacup beside his mouth, he stopped and looked at John. “Why? Is the weather very hot today?”

“No. Maybe it’s my clothes. I might have tied them up too tight, so I feel a little suffocated.”

Joshua nodded in response, but after a sigh, he put down the teacup on the table. “John, do you know why you’re the only one who managed to work with me for over half a year?”

“W-Well…” John looked at Joshua hesitatingly, and words eluded him. Joshua pointed to the seat opposite him and said, “Come. Have a seat. There’s nothing to be nervous about.”

“I wouldn’t dare, Commander.” John was visibly panicking. “Commander, did I do something wrong? Please tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll make it right this instance!”

“Just sit down. Don’t worry about it.” Joshua gestured to John with a smile on his face. Although Joshua was far away, John could feel as if he was pressing on his shoulders, forcing him to sit down.

It’s the force field of a Grandmaster! How is this even possible? John widened his eyes in shock at this sight and stared right at Joshua. Sitting on the chair, John exclaimed, “Commander, y-you are—”
