Chapter 98 Impersonate Him
“I’m not joking with you!” At the sight of the crowd heaping contempt on Jonathan, Josephine grew so incandescent that her eyes
blazed scarlet. “Everyone at the Blackwood family’s banquet that day witnessed it! Not only me, but even my parents were there!
They saw it, too!”
After saying that, she turned to Connor and urged, “Dad, tell them whether I’m speaking the truth!”
Hastily nodding, Connor stated, “Yes, it’s true! I saw it with my own eyes!”
Snorting, Ezra retorted, “At the end of the day, it’s just your entire family standing witness, no? You’re a family, so even if you
make up stories, no one will expose you! He forced the patriarch of the Blackwood family to apologize on his knees, you said?
Why don’t you say that he was also the one who banished them from Jadeborough?”
He snickered, not believing Josephine in the least.
Following his words, however, Josephine replied coldly, “You’re right. It was indeed with a single word from him that the
Blackwood family was banished from Jadeborough!”

“Oh wow, go on acting!” Eyeing her as though she wasn’t quite right in the head, Ezra mocked, “The Blackwood family has been
banished from Jadeborough anyway, so no one will step out and refute you no matter what you say! Anything you say goes!”
“You’re simply unreasonable!” Josephine had no retort left at his persistent comebacks. Just then, Miguel, who hadn’t said
anything thus far, spoke out of the blue. “Josephine, you said it was Jonathan who resolved the Smith family’s crisis?”
“Yes!” Josephine maintained with an emphatic nod.
“Nonsense!” Miguel chided before he continued sharply, “It was my friend from Jazona who resolved the Smith family’s crisis!
How could it possibly be him? Does he even have the capability to do so?”
When Jonathan heard that, he couldn’t help sniggering. “Your friend? Where’s that friend of yours?”
Harrumphing, Miguel declared, “He’s right here! If he hadn’t told me personally that he was the one who resolved the Smith
family’s crisis this time, I might have truly been taken in by the two of you!”
While saying that, he strode toward a middle-aged man sitting at the front. “Mr. Field!”

“Yeah.”
The middle-aged man, Sammy Field, nodded with a haughty look on his face.
“See? This is that friend of mine, Mr. Field, the eldest son of the Field family. He has vast connections in Jazona, far beyond
someone like you could ever imagine!” Casting Jonathan a chilly look, Miguel added, “If it weren’t for him having some
connections with the King of War and successfully persuading the man himself to do him a favor, do you think the Blackwood
family would have easily let us off the hook, let alone gotten banished from Jadeborough? Do you think you could’ve booted the
Blackwood family out of the city if Mr. Field hadn’t done anything?”
He regarded Jonathan glacially, his gaze so penetrating that it was as though he was determined to expose a liar.
“Actually, it was just the King of War doing me a paltry favor.” Sammy waved a hand with a humble expression on his face.
Regretfully, his humility was simply rendering him a fool in Jonathan’s eyes.
Glancing at the man placidly, Jonathan murmured, “The Field family? I’ve never heard of them! You said you’re acquainted with
Zachary, yes? Fine. Give him a call, and we’ll see whether he’ll corroborate your story!”
Sammy snorted with disdain etched on his face. “Do you think anyone can simply give the King of War a call? Do you think he’s
got nothing better to do like you? Even if it were me, I’ve got to make an appointment a few days in advance if I want to contact
him!”
There was no flaw to be found in that remark of his.

At least, that was the case in the eyes of everyone there.
Who is the King of War? That’s the true ruler of Jazona! Even the mayor of Jazona is beneath him. As such, can anyone simply
give him a call? What a joke!
Jonathan merely watched Sammy putting on a show coldly. “You don’t dare to do so, do you? How about I give him a call and
ask whether he knows you?”
Sneering, Sammy countered, “Who knows whether you’re really calling the King of War? What if you find someone to
impersonate him?”
“Can’t you tell whether it’s his voice?” Jonathan questioned frostily.
“Hah! You even dare to buy a counterfeit lavender jade figurine, so what else don’t you dare do?” Sammy mocked with a snicker.
“It looks like you’ll never admit to your lie today unless he comes here in person.” Jonathan eyed him coldly.
Undeniably, he’s something else! He sounds utterly convincing, with nary a flaw in his words. If I weren’t here, he would’ve
probably fooled everyone present!

Seeing his high and mighty attitude, Miguel snapped before Sammy could even respond to that. “Shut up! How could you be so
rude to Mr. Field? Apologize right this instant, Jonathan!”
Jonathan couldn’t help guffawing when he heard that. “You want me to apologize to him? Are you dreaming?”
“How dare you?” Miguel’s face flushed bright red upon seeing that he dared speak to him in such a manner. He pointed at the
man and proclaimed, “I’m only giving you a minute, Jonathan. If you haven’t apologized to Mr. Field after a minute has passed,
don’t blame me for showing you no mercy!”
Jonathan’s gaze turned wintry. “Oh? What are you planning to do to me? Are you planning to kick me out or strong-arm me into
apologizing?”
“That’s enough! Stop fighting!” At long last, Hugo, as the patriarch of the Smith family, couldn’t stand it anymore. After thundering
that reproach, he turned to Jonathan and demanded, “Jonathan, you said it was you who resolved the Smith family’s crisis,
right? How can you prove it?”
Glancing at him indifferently, Jonathan announced, “Why do I need to prove it? I didn’t resolve the issue between the Smith and
Blackwood families for the sake of the Smiths back then. Instead, I did it for my wife, Josephine. If it weren’t for her, I might not
even bother interfering in your business even if you were to beg me on your knees!”
At his imperious attitude, Lula snapped, “How dare you speak to Dad in such a tone, Jonathan? Hurry up and apologize!”
“Apologize? Do you think the lot of you are worthy of it?” Snorting, Jonathan then declared, “The person who can have me
apologize hasn’t been born in this world yet!”

“How dare you? This is preposterous! You’re inordinately brazen!” When his words rang out, Hugo went through the roof and
almost passed out. “M-Men, throw him out of here!”
“Understood!”
With that command from him, the servants of the Smith family swarmed toward Jonathan.
But just when they were inches from him, a sudden shout came from the door. “Mr. Swindell is here!”
