The Legendary Man Chapter 699

The Legendary Man Chapter 699-Back in Xendale, Karl and the other two took turns carrying Jonathanon their backs after he passed out. They traveled hastily for over two hundred miles in the snow beforeeventually finding a cave where they could rest.

The cave they discovered was a bear cave, but after crossing Remdik’s borders, Jonathan and the reststrangely had a craving for bear meat.

They sat around the fire with their weapons lying around them as they chomped on bear meat.

Despite forming a temporary alliance due to Jonathan, they couldn’t bring themselves to trust eachother completely.

It was especially the case for Karl.

The Osborne family and the Blackwood family didn’t want Jonathan to die as they wanted to deal withthe Salladay family’s plan.

However, it was the perfect chance for Karl to kill Xavion and Sirius to minimize the respectablefamilies’ threat.

Thus, Sirius and Xavion sat close to each other in tacit understanding, contrary to Karl, who sat acrossfrom them alone. They were obviously on opposing sides.

Karl grabbed a piece of bear meat and stuffed it into his mouth like a robot. He stared at the fire,spacing out.

Jonathan and I came to Remdik to rescue Layla and Killian. I guess he must’ve seen something hecouldn’t accept to enter a frenzied state.

Before leaving, Karl used his spiritual sense to scan the entire camp, but Layla and Killian werenowhere to be found.

Stellario and the other two didn’t show themselves, too.

It was likely that Stellario and the others had taken Killian out of Redlington.

If that’s the case, they should be near Chanaea and Remdik’s border. But if they were gone, why didJonathan enter a frenzied state? When we reunited earlier, Jonathan hadn’t completely entered afrenzied state yet, but his gaze was already wild and savage. Didn’t he threaten to wage war if theRemdikians wanted to?

Karl had worked under Jonathan for over two years, so he knew Jonathan’s character well.

Jonathan had always opposed war.

Otherwise, the over one million troops under Asura’s Office would’ve razed Yaleview to the ground.

Jonathan also restricted the usage of large-scale strategic weapons.

Thus, Karl couldn’t believe that Jonathan declared to wage war against the Remdikians.

What exactly did he see in the camp?

Seeing Karl all zoned out, Xavion called his name, “Karl!”

Karl snapped back to reality and glanced at Xavion, who tossed him a bottle of seasoning.

He sniffed at it and realized it was a bottle of barbecue seasoning.

“You’re well-prepared, huh? I’m surprised you brought a bottle of seasoning with you.”

Xavion chuckled. “One should have a hobby, and mine is cooking. If you’re not afraid that I’ll poisonyou, I can take out my cooking utensils to whip up eight dishes for you immediately.”

His words managed to relieve the tension in the air.

Even Sirius, who had a reserved personality, turned to look at Xavion.

“I’m craving for pork chops.”

“I think The Blackwood family isn’t from Doveston, right?” Xavion asked cheerfully.

Turning to Karl, he added, “Karl, is Killian seven years old?”

“Mm.” Karl’s gaze softened at the mention of his son, even though he had no idea why Xavion askedthat question. “He’s seven and a half, nearly eight soon.”

Xavion tossed a bare bone into the fire and wiped his hands carelessly. Heaving a heavy sigh, he said,“Time has flown by. Look, your son is already seven years old. Why didn’t we make time to kidnap yourwife and son earlier? We should’ve taken action sooner. If we had, we wouldn’t have had to travel herein this awful weather.”

Xavion’s tone was calm, and Sirius and Karl didn’t look surprised at all.

In fact, Xavion wasn’t the only one who had that thought, for the eight respectable families shared hissentiments. They regretted not taking action against Jonathan, Karl, and Wilbur sooner.

Now, the three of them were capable enough to control ninety-five percent of the military power inChanaea.

The respectable families could only negotiate with them and dared not act recklessly.

Karl leaned against the wall at the entrance of the cave and chuckled.

“I used to be a cultivator in the Grandmaster Realm. You might’ve noticed me, but the eight respectablefamilies never paid any heed to me. You didn’t even take the Asura’s Office seriously when it was firstestablished, right? You had no idea that the person you could’ve killed easily back then had grown andimproved this much. If that possibility had occurred to you, you would’ve killed me instead ofkidnapping my wife and son, right?”

“Yes,” Sirius replied curtly.

Karl glanced at Sirius before his gaze landed on Xavion’s face.

He inquired, “The Osborne family kidnapped Josephine. What about your next step? How are yougoing to wrap things up?”

“What do you mean by that?” Xavion gazed at Karl in confusion.

“You used the Asura’s Office to go against the Salladay family’s Yaleview Army. No matter whatChanaea’s fate is, you must come to closure with Mr. Goldstein. Have you decided how you’ll deal withhim?”

Hearing that, Sirius stopped polishing his weapon and perked his ears up to hear Xavion’s reply.

Unsurprisingly, Xavion replied, “He’s a huge threat, so we’ll most probably take his life. Not only him,you and Wilbur will be disposed of by the respectable families once you lose your value. The onlyindividuals we can manipulate are our true weapons. Nobody desires to be threatened, do they?”

Karl stayed silent, while Sirius had a solemn look on his face.

A few months ago, Asura’s Office didn’t know how powerful the respectable families could be. To beexact, they knew nothing about the respectable families.

After the Osborne family took action against the Goldstein family, the veil of secrecy in Chanaea waslifted.

Under careful observation, one would realize that the entire Chanaea was under the control of the eightrespectable families.

The respected families held sway over all aspects of society and the basics of life throughout the ages.In other words, nothing escaped their control.novelbin

As Jonathan, Wilbur, and Karl rose to power, the eight respectable families were forced to reveal theirpower overnight.

Karl had a hunch that the reshuffling of power would change the entire situation in Chanaea, resultingin the largest shift in power in the past few thousand years.

Never in their wildest dreams did they know that they could talk openly and reveal their secrets in aforeign country one day.

Such was the situation, so there was no point hiding secrets anymore.

Karl looked at Xavion and Sirius, his expression solemn. “I’ll offer you a suggestion in return for yourhelp. Jonathan is willing to cooperate if you ask politely, but not if you force him. He owes you a debt ofgratitude for saving him, so if you back off now, he’ll spare both your families. Otherwise, no one cansurvive this game.”
