The Legendary Man Chapter 837

The Legendary Man Chapter 837-Jason’s family had been heavily involved in medicine for manygenerations.

Jason’s family had been heavily involved in medicine for many generations.

In terms of modern society, he was equivalent to those heroic protagonists in novels who were skilledin both medicine and cultivation.

Sadly, that advantage was what caused the downfall of the entire Carrick family.

When Jonathan first met Jason, he was merely a crazy doctor and a Grandmaster who was in thebeginner phase.

Back then, he had been robbed and fainted in a drunken state by the side of the road.

Jonathan only brought him back because he could sense the spiritual energy coming from him.

For a long time after that, Jason didn’t even thank Jonathan for possibly saving his life. All he did wasdrink his days away in Jonathan’s house.

Everyone, including Hades, had been incredibly angry and frustrated with him.

Only Jonathan, who had once been shunned and kicked out of the Smith family, knew exactly howlonely and hopeless Jason felt.

That was why he was able to empathize with Jason, and as a result, shared an unspoken bond with thelatter.

More than a month after Jason was brought back, Hades had been heavily injured and was on theverge of dying by the time Jonathan carried him back to the military camp.

Right as the military doctors were at a complete loss, Jason stepped forward while still stinking ofalcohol.

Ever since then, Jason had become the chief of the special operations unit’s medical team.

In fact, Jason had even helped Jonathan a great amount with his cultivation in the very beginning.

Moreover, after the incident of Jason saving Hades’ life, Jason told Jonathan everything about hisfamily’s past as a way to show gratitude for all that Jonathan had done for him.

He told Jonathan about all the cultivation methods passed down in his family as well and didn’t leaveout even a single detail.

Within the following three years, Jason focused all his efforts on medicine.

That was because he knew that Asura’s Office was the only force capable enough to defeat the eightrespectable families and get revenge for his family.

He wanted to perfect his skills so that he could ensure that Jonathan and the other members wouldstay alive no matter what.

Within those three years, he never even cultivated. However, he still somehow rose to the middlephase of the Grandmaster Realm with help from his family’s cultivation method alone.

In fact, since his cultivation level was slowly but steadily attained, it was incredibly solid and strong.

Jonathan had once roughly calculated that Jason’s cultivation speed wouldn’t be any slower than hisown as long as Jason worked hard on cultivating.

The sudden sword attack just a few moments ago was Jonathan’s way of using his life force to awakenJason’s desire to cultivate.

He wanted to show Jason that any form of medical skill paled in comparison to the Heavenly Pryncyp.

As cultivation slowly began to become more and more commonplace, talented cultivators werebeginning to saturate the community, getting involved with countless power struggles.

In order to get his revenge under such circumstances, Jason had to improve himself.

“You get what I’m trying to say, right?” Jonathan asked, pointing the blade of his blood-tainted sword atJason.

“Yeah, yeah, I get it,” replied Jason, nodding profusely.

“Do you still have any of that life force to spare? I think I need to feel it again,” Jason said as he pulledout his scalpel again and aimed it right at his heart.

Being on the brink of death was something he had never experienced before. A crazy doctor like Jasoncould think of a thousand and one different ways to experience near death over and over again sincehe knew he wouldn’t die.

“Stop.”

Jonathan used spiritual energy to hold Jason’s arm back and stopped him from stabbing himself.

“Hold it. One whisper of life force that can revitalize a dying person is going to cost you three billion. Ifyou have the money, I’d be happy to play along.”

“Um… Bye, Mr. Goldstein, I’ll be going back to my lab to list out the equipment I need.”

Jason didn’t even hesitate and quickly disappeared at the mention of money.

Zachary and Rebecca left as well since Jason was only the chief of the medical team and still neededthem to actually acquire any equipment he needed.

After the three of them left, Lauryn was the only one left in the meeting room with Jonathan.

At that moment, she still appeared rather awkward and reserved around Jonathan.

Clearly, even though she was the communicator between the Blackwood family and Asura’s Office, shewas still somewhat a hostage. It was only natural that she was wary of Jonathan.

“How is your stay in Edenic Heights so far? Have you gotten used to the place?” Jonathan asked with arather exhausted tone as he sat down.

“It’s not too bad,” Lauryn replied, looking down.

“Since you already know I’m a spy from the Blackwood family, why aren’t you letting me go?”

“What good will that do?” Jonathan asked with a sigh.

“Even if I send you away, the Blackwood family will still keep sending undercover spies to infiltrateAsura’s Office now that they know about our plans. There will never be true peace and trust betweenthe respected families and Asura’s Office. Rather than letting them send someone else in, I might aswell keep you here. At least I can keep an eye on you so nothing big happens.”

Lauryn was rendered speechless by Jonathan’s explanation.

He’s clearly trying to say that I’m so bad at gathering intelligence that he doesn’t even feel threatenedby me.

“You don’t have to humiliate me just because I suck at confronting prominent forces.”

“I’m not trying to humiliate you.” Jonathan shook his head.

“Do you really think you’d be able to make it in just because you want to?” he asked.

Lauryn said defiantly, “Isn’t that what happened? It took me a lot of effort in order to fulfill the promise Imade to you back at Summerbank Abyss.”

“Think carefully. Is that really the case?” Jonathan asked as he knocked on the table lightly.

“The Blackwood family was capable of sending Colton to the entrance of Edenic Heights as soon asyou arrived. Why couldn’t they stop you then?”

“I—” Lauryn stammered, stumped by Jonathan’s question.

Jonathan continued with a smile, “The Blackwood family needed a proper excuse to approach me.Colton merely used you as a reason to come and test the waters. They just want to build a connectionwith me, knowing that if they stationed a spy, I would have gotten rid of them immediately. But if theymade it obvious, they wouldn’t even have the chance to approach me. As such, they might as well gowith the flow and send you here. Your innocence is the best form of insurance. If your intentions wereas complicated as Colton’s, then I would already have killed you.”

Lauryn felt a chill run down her spine as Jonathan’s eyes glinted murderously.novelbin

However, she still remained quiet, gritting her teeth.

Retracting the murderous aura he was exuding, Jonathan fixed his gaze on Lauryn and beganspeaking again. ”I let you live as a signal to the Blackwood family that I was open for collaboration.Why else would Sirius have helped me without reservations back in Remdik? You may be just a pawnin this game, but you are still important nonetheless. The reason that the Blackwood family and Asura’sOffice could work together is all thanks to you, Lauryn.”

Jonathan then tossed a highly-encrypted memory chip on the table.

“Send this document to Mr. Blackwood as well as the contents of today’s meeting. I believe he’ll knowmy intentions. Since the Blackwood family wants to expose the entire cultivation realm to mortals, thenit should happen soon. There’s only so much time we have left.”
