The Legendary Man Chapter 1216-Balance

“You’re right. You didn’t mistreat me.” Josephine rubbed her tummy gently and continued, “However,you’ve been using the child in my belly to threaten Jonathan and get him to serve you. Doesn’t thatmake you a parasite?”

Xavion wanted to refute her, but before he could say a single word, she added, “The eight respectablefamilies had cut off all the cultivators’ resources in Chanaea, right? Furthermore, you guys also havecontrol over food, energy, medications, and all sorts of supplies. When I chatted with the members ofthe Osborne family, I also heard that you gained control over all the high-ranking officials when youwent after the Whitley family a decade ago. Now, the eight respectable families are reigning over theimportant departments and army in Chanaea. Am I not right?”

In response, Xavion chuckled bitterly and argued, “No. Your words make sense, but the respectablefamilies had worked hard over several generations and—”

“Worked? How hard did you have to work?” Josephine interrupted Xavion’s speech and queried, “Didn’tyou terrorize others? Didn’t you murder your enemies? Didn’t you threaten them? Didn’t you force yourway through to get whatever you wanted?”

Xavion’s face fell when he heard those questions. There was nothing he could say to defend himselfbecause those were what the eight respectable families did.

In the beginning, perhaps the eight respectable families had built their fortune from scratch. When theygained enough power, however, they eventually did whatever they could to get their hands on whateverthey wanted.

In the current situation, the eight respectable families had gained total control over Chanaea, and theydidn’t need to further develop.

All they needed to do was look for fast-growing companies and snatch those businesses away. Thatway, they could live comfortably and lavishly.

In other words, the eight respectable families had completely cut off all the opportunities, regardless ofeconomy or cultivation, for others to grow in Chanaea.

Jonathan’s emergence was meant to restore balance and give hope to Chanaea.

“The respectable families might seem high and mighty and appear not to have any impact on the livesof the Chanaeans. In truth, you guys are involved in every aspect of people’s lives! Although everyoneseems to be involved in various industries, people are merely trying to make ends meet. Now thatyou’ve gained control over the basic necessities, everyone has to work for you guys to make a living. Inthe end, their expenditures will still end up in the pockets of the eight respectable families. This is not anormal economic structure. Therefore, the eight respectable families are like parasites and vampires!You won’t stop exploiting the public and letting more than one billion of them work for you! Don’t youthink it’s time to take the power away from the respectable families?” Josephine questioned.

Wilbur heard Josephine’s words loud and clear, and he immediately gave her a thumbs-up. “Asexpected of Jonathan’s wife! Your words definitely hit the nail on the head. They are a bunch ofheartless respectable families, and they should’ve been stopped a long time ago.”

“Bullsh*t!” Xavion sneered. “Get off your high horse, will you? You guys aren’t making constructivesuggestions. Do you think peace and order will be restored in the country once the eight respectablefamilies are gone? Don’t the public still need to work? Respectable families have existed for a very longtime, and the public will always oppose these families. The situation has always been perfectlybalanced. Let’s focus on the current situation. If the eight respectable families were to vanish all of asudden, what do you think would happen to the other one hundred families comparable to the influencethe Goldstein family had back then? Would they not form their own group of respectable families? Whatdo you think would happen if over a hundred respectable families were to fight against each other?”

As Xavion was talking, Josephine had already risen to her feet by holding on to the couch to supportherself. “Competitions are fine, but the market should be controlled by Yaleview’s authorities instead ofthe eight respectable families. In other words, develop all you want, but you must act according to thelaws!”

Although Josephine was a mortal, her aura was as intense as Xavion’s.novelbin

Wilbur, who was sitting on the hearth, suddenly stopped smiling as the other two continued to argue.Jonathan and I have the same goal, and that’s to topple the eight respectable families. However, wearen’t working together because we have different beliefs. Josephine has just pointed out somethingcrucial here, and that’s the justice system. Many things have changed in this country throughouthistory, but something remained the same for the sake of the development of the civilization inChanaea. That’s none other than the justice system! Josephine talked about cultivation and economicstructure, but those two elements aren’t even the most crucial influence the eight respectable familieshave over the country. The scariest part is that these eight respectable families even reigned controlover the justice system!

At the same time, Wilbur also noticed how hard Josephine was to deal with. She might seem like animpulsive woman when she blatantly challenged a God Realm cultivator. However, she has actuallybeen choosing her words very carefully. Ever since the beginning, she has never mentioned the feudbetween the Osborne family and Jonathan. Instead, she has been spitting facts. As a matter of fact, Ican sense that she has been trying to sow discord between the Osborne family and Yaleview Army.She didn’t say it out loud, but she had been discussing the eight respectable families and disregardingYaleview Army. Oh, my… she’s just as cunning as Jonathan!

“Calm down, guys. The respectable families have been around for ages, and these problems aren’tnew. Moreover, the major forces in Chanaea had been at war ever since the battle of River Onxy. Itdoesn’t matter who’s right or wrong. At this point, no one needs a reason to declare war on another

anymore. Since fate had brought us together, let’s enjoy our meal. The dishes from Doveston aren’t asgood once they get cold,” Wilbur uttered with a smile, but the atmosphere in the room remained tense.

Right then, someone pushed the door to the farmhouse open.

Wilbur heard the commotion and turned to look outside. There, he saw his adjutant running in.

“Reporting in!” the adjutant uttered.

“Come in,” Wilbur replied flatly.

The adjutant entered the room and bowed respectfully before reporting, “Commander, Eastern AlliedArmy had sent people here to fetch Ms. Smith. One is a God Realm cultivator with only one arm, andthe other is Zachary Lint, Vanquisher King of War of Guardian Army. They’re outside the village now.”

Upon hearing that, Wilbur chuckled and instructed, “Invite them in! What are you waiting for?”
