Female Novel
Chapter 1120
Still leaning against the tank, Jonathan slowly squatted down after hearing Kane’s response.
He put his hand on Kane’s shoulder and laughed lightly. “Fine, I’ll tell you the reason. I will not talkabout benevolence or morality. I know they mean nothing to you. Kane, as long as you’ve set yourmind on something and think that it brings benefits, you won’t give up on it. Am I right?”
Not denying it, Kane nodded in response. With his actions, it was clear that he wanted Jonathan toknow that if the latter did not give him an acceptable reason, he would employ his own methods to takedown Wilbur.
Jonathan was not angry at Kane’s response. After giving it a moment of thought, he spoke again.“Kane, as you know, Asura’s Office is the fastest-growing and largest military organization in history. Doyou know what keeps us alive? Think it through before answering me.”
Then, Jonathan fell silent. He, too, sat down on the ground like Kane.
Everyone, including Kane, fell into deep thought.
Asura’s Office was established in troubled times and amidst the warlords’ conflict because Chanaeaneeded such a team.
Hence, Asura’s Office rapidly flourished throughout Chanaea after its establishment. There were evenplaces that took up their banner despite not being actually under their control.
They did so in order to catch Asura’s Office’s attention and in hopes that they could be incorporatedinto Asura’s Office.
When asked, it was easy to answer how Asura’s Office managed to develop. However, it wasinaccurate to say that it was built for the people.
After all, while that was one of the conditions, it was not the decisive factor.
Even the veterans of Asura’s Office found themselves in a predicament.
“You are the soul of Asura’s Office, and you possess a tremendous power that brings everyonetogether,” Kane replied after a while. “You are the reason, the root of Asura’s Office’s rapiddevelopment.”
Upon hearing Kane’s answer, Jonathan snickered. “When did you turn into such a bootlicker?”
“I’m not trying to flatter you,” Kane replied sternly. “I’m only speaking the truth. Asura’s Office would nothave developed so smoothly if it hadn’t been for your efforts over the years. Mr. Goldstein, I wish to killWilbur and overthrow the eight respectable families. However, I have no intention of rebelling. I wouldnever take the path Karl did.”
Karl, who had been standing at the side, coughed dryly when he heard Kane’s words. Even if he wascurrently Zero, Karl still valued his image.
The tactics Karl had chosen to use against the eight respectable families were indeed cruel. In fact, theformer felt somewhat embarrassed at being reminded of it.
Gesturing at Karl imperceptibly, Jonathan turned back to Kane. “You’re wrong. I am not apresumptuous person, but I accept the credit you give me. I, too, believe that I am the person whoguides Asura’s Office. Currently, I am trying to prevent you from destroying Asura’s Office’s foundationin a lenient way,” Jonathan said.
With a twirl of his fingers, the sand on the ground flew into the air. Under his manipulation, the pile ofsand molded itself into a scale. “Balance is what allowed Asura’s Office to grow rapidly and continue tothis day. Everything I have done in the past three years is to maintain the balance of Asura’s Office’senvironment. Ten years ago, the eight respectable families besieged the Whitley family and summoned
all cultivators who were Grandmaster Realm and above. After the cultivators were called away, themajor war zones fell into chaos and this eventually plunged Chanaea into war. Three years ago, Ijoined Harfush’s army and established Asura’s Office. Wilbur joined Yaleview Army and drove Joshuaaway in order to obtain the position of commander-in-chief.”
Jonathan continued, “How do you think all of this was done? Do you think it was merely the efforts ofthe weapons we hold in our hands? You understand a cultivator’s power better than anyone else. Theeight respectable families have at least twelve God Realm cultivators and at least one who is DivineRealm. If they decide to come at us, it will only take a night’s time for everyone third-class and above inAsura’s Office to be wiped out. But have you thought about why they haven’t done so?”
Jonathan raked his eyes over the people present. Under Jonathan’s scrutiny, their eyes flickered asthey came to a realization.
“I see you’ve grasped the situation.” Dispersing the suspended sand, Jonathan rose to his feet slowly.
“Asura’s Office takes care of the exterior while Wilbur’s Yaleview Army takes care of things internally.The two military groups oppose and restrain each other, both hampering each other’s progress. Thisgives the eight respectable families a chance to take control at any time. This is the root of our survival!If we take out Wilbur now and absorb Yaleview Army, do you think the eight respectable families willstand idly by and merely watch as we turn Asura’s Office into a behemoth of three million people? Weare not ready to withstand an onslaught from the eight respectable families. Hence, we must strive tomaintain the current situation, or we and thousands upon thousands of soldiers will be the ones that willmeet their demise.”novelbin
At that, Kane managed to calm down. He was a smart man who could grasp the meaning behindJonathan’s words.
“Mr. Goldstein, I understand. I will not bring up this matter again.” Kane hung his head low, seeminglydeflated.
Laughing, Jonathan patted the other man on the shoulder. “This had to be mentioned, but we also needto wait for the right timing. Perhaps it will be possible when you reach God Realm.” Here, Jonathanlowered his head slightly. “Believe me, it won’t take long for you all to reach God Realm. If you can’tafford to wait, neither can Asura’s Office. The eight respectable families can’t wait either!”
At Jonathan’s words, they widened their eyes in surprise.
Jonathan had revealed two important messages to them with the two sentences.
Firstly, the battle between Asura’s Office and the eight respectable families was not too far off.
Secondly, Jonathan had found a way for them to achieve God Realm.
“Mr. Goldstein, are you for real?” Kane asked excitedly.
“Have I ever talked big?” Jonathan chuckled.
Zachary and the others rubbed their hands excitedly when they heard that there was a way to produceGod Realm cultivators. It would completely solve the problem of insufficient high-ranked combatants inAsura’s Office.
Ksana, who stood behind Jonathan, knew that the method was one that required one to trade theirlives for it.
