Chapter 508 Yaleview Army
Martial law in Yaleview? Jonathan immediately looked worried when he heard that. As Chanaea’sadministrative center, Yaleview is truly irreplaceable. With so many powerful forces in it, it has beenchaotic. First of all, Zedfield’s Office of Government Affairs is the most powerful governmental body inChanaea, and they announce policies concerning the whole of Chanaea every day.
Secondly, the area is filled with wealthy families. With the Goldstein family as the leader of the wealthyfamilies, they’re all based in Yaleview. This has been an unspoken rule all along. Once a family isconsidered wealthy, it’s safe to assume that the family is capable of influencing the working of thecountry because they could easily use their wealth to control the market prices of the goods.
Zedfield’s Office of Government Affairs can’t allow that. Another factor is the influence of respectablefamilies. Everyone in the world is used to grading families with wealth. However, once wealth reaches acertain level, it will be pointless to compare wealthy families with one another.
Once the amount of money has reached a certain benchmark, the difference in wealth becomesirrelevant. While wealthy families are all worth hundreds of billions, respectable families, apart from theheads and the core members, won’t even know how much money their families have. Since they can’tbe compared with money, the only thing that separates them is heritage.
Since all the wealthy families are gathered here, respectable families can easily intervene so that theycan maintain their power and keep the wealthy families grounded.
In fact, there were still other parties in Yaleview that could be influential. Examples of those partieswere prominent families and foreign embassies.
Moreover, Yaleview was located in the middle of the transportation routes.
If they were to put the city on total lockdown, a lot of people would be affected.
Although Jonathan had used the Decree of Asura to put Jazona on lockdown, he couldn’t do the sameto Yaleview, as it would be an act of treason!
With the network of intel in Asura’s Office, how did we not receive any information on what happened inYaleview?
Jonathan stared at Zachary and asked sternly, “Who put Yaleview on lockdown? What happened inthere?”
Zachary shook his head slightly. “That’s where things seem strange. This time, the lockdown that wasimposed only applies to transportation. All the roads leading into Yaleview, bus stations, and the airporthave been shut down. However, communication remains strong as ever. We’ve received confirmationfrom our intel in Yaleview. Nothing major has happened in Yaleview recently.”
Nothing? Jonathan furrowed his brows. Yaleview is unlike Jazona. We can’t just impose a lockdown onYaleview. In this case, something must be brewing in Yaleview.
“Who ordered a lockdown on Yaleview? Also, who’s the military leader responsible for the lockdown?”Jonathan asked.
“The order came from none other than Zedfield.” Zachary thought carefully and added, “As for theperson in charge, it’s the head of the Yaleview Army, Wilbur Xanthos.”novelbin
“How could it be him?” Jonathan frowned.
He knew who Wilbur Xanthos was.
Around four years ago, the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique came into Jonathan’s possession bycoincidence when he joined the army.
Due to his outstanding performance, he was sent to the Valley of Elites for gruesome training.
Elite warriors were all held in high regard in ordinary troops.
In the Valley of Elites, however, one had to be an elite warrior to enter.
The Valley of Elites was a secret training base under the direct jurisdiction of Yaleview.
Although Jonathan had been there for more than three months back then, he still couldn’t figure out theexact location of the Valley of Elites.
The main purpose of the training base was to gather all the elite soldiers in Chanaea and train them.
Once a person had gone through the training, they could go wherever they wanted.
However, all the instructors in the Valley of Elites came from Yaleview. Hence, almost half of thestudents would choose to head toward Yaleview after their training.
Wilbur was recruited at the same time as Jonathan, and he was the best performer.
Even during the beginner phase of cultivation, Wilbur was so good that Jonathan would always comesecond to him in all the events.
Although they were always competing against each other, they were quite close, and they cherishedeach other as rivals.
If they were to maintain their close relationship, they could end up becoming a formidable duo after thetraining. However, they were interviewed one month after they finished their training.
In the interview, the representative from Yaleview asked them about their future plans.
In actuality, the interviewer was trying to poach them.
In the face of the conditions offered by Yaleview, Jonathan’s and Wilbur’s choices were the exactopposite.
Jonathan chose to return to Mysonna after the training, whereas Wilbur decided to go to Yaleview tofurther improve himself.
That was the last time they had a drinking session together. From then on, they never contacted eachother. The next time they saw each other was when Jonathan led his troops into Yaleview because ofmatters concerning the Goldstein family. There, they shared a glance from afar.
At that time, Wilbur was already the head of the Yaleview Army, and he had half a million troops at hisdisposal. The Yaleview Army was also paying close attention to everything that Jonathan had done inYaleview.
On the surface, Jonathan seemed to have been acting however he liked in Yaleview. In reality, it wasbecause the Office of Government Affairs allowed him to do so.
With Eight Kings of War and a million troops, Jonathan, however, had never been able to set up a basein Yaleview.
Everyone in the world was intimidated by the Decree of Asura except for Yaleview.
The Yaleview Army wasn’t controlled by Asura’s Office. Instead, it received its orders from Zedfield’sOffice of Government Affairs directly. Jonathan couldn’t understand why Wilbur had led the YaleviewArmy to impose a lockdown on Yaleview.
Meanwhile, in the Goldstein residence, Sophia was looking in the mirror to scrutinize the suit she waswearing. “Okay, this is nice.”
While Sophia was smiling gleefully, Lydia looked utterly worried.
“Sophia, maybe I should follow you. Quinten is a dangerous man. I’m worried that—”
“Don’t worry.” Sophia sighed. “It’s so bright outside. Besides, I’m bringing so many men with me.Nothing bad is going to happen. I think Quinten is coming at the Goldstein family because he’s jealousof how fast the Goldstein family got rich. We’ve already talked about it yesterday. If he wants it, we cangive the Xydias family a portion of our wealth. As long as we’re giving them benefits, the Goldsteinfamily and I will be safe.”
“But… Sophia, are we really not telling Jonathan?”
“All right.” Sophia grabbed Lydia’s hand. “I know you’re worried about my safety. If I don’t come backbefore night falls, you can tell Jonathan about it. That works for you, right?”
