The Legendary Man Chapter 1005-Capture Joshua, huh?
Jay kept quiet as he stared at Jonathan and thought about his request.
Joshua gained the Whitley family’s inheritance, so he must possess a ton of treasures. Formation Crusher, Troop Summoner, and Hailstorm Fan alone are regarded as the most valuable treasures in all of Chanaea. The three Divine Realm elders of the Whitley family fought off eight Divine Realm cultivators with the help of those three treasures. If I hand Joshua over to Jonathan, Joshua’s strategies and resources, combined with Asura’s Office, will make Jonathan a huge threat to us all.
With that in mind, Jay shook his head and said, “No way. Joshua is far too valuable of a resource. None of the eight respectable families would be able to rest easy if he joins Asura’s Office.”
“Eight respectable families?” The look in Jonathan’s eyes grew cold as he continued, “You can’t even handle the Osborne family right now, and you’re worried about the safety of the other families? I only want you and your men to help me locate Joshua after I eliminate Kimberly and Barnaby. He’s not with you guys at the moment, is he? I’m simply trying to turn one of my enemies into an ally, that’s all. The other seven respectable families must be hunting Joshua down in Delisgar Ridge as we speak. I am guaranteeing the deaths of Kimberly and Barnaby in exchange for a one in eight chance of you finding Joshua, which you haven’t even done. What do you have to lose?”
“I…”
Jay shook his head helplessly when faced with Jonathan’s questioning.
“In that case, I have a condition as well. If Joshua is to join Asura’s Office, then you must hand the three top-quality magical items over to the Osborne family.”
“I’m afraid that’s impossible.”
Jonathan had no idea why the eight respectable families were trying so hard to find the Whitley family’s treasures, but he understood that those items were definitely of great importance.
In fact, those treasures could even be as valuable as Heaven Sword.
It hurt Jonathan deeply when he had to destroy several magical items after Sean’s identity was exposed, so he wasn’t about to hand three of them over to the Osborne family.
“You might as well give up on Joshua, Jay. If he’s willing to join Asura’s Office, then he will become not only one of its fighters but also a core member of the organization.”
That was when Jonathan recalled something and continued, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. You and the rest of the respectable families should forget about decapitating Asura’s Office. Its reformation began a year ago, so it wouldn’t do you guys any good even if you managed to eliminate the Eight Kings of War. Asura’s Office is currently practicing a reserve system that will immediately replace fallen commanders with the next highest-ranking commander. Therefore, Asura’s Office could send seven of its Eight Kings of War after the eight respectable families. Keep in mind that we have tons of special missiles as well as a wide arsenal of weaponry and tactics at our disposal. They may call me ‘Asura,’ but I’ve been holding back far too much in the past. I’ve denied their requests to rise in arms for three years. Now that I have stepped down and placed Hades in charge, I can’t promise he’ll be willing to do the same. Trust me, the eight respectable families can never hope to defeat us.”
Jay glared at Jonathan after hearing his blatant threat.
Under normal circumstances, a descendant of a respectable family like Jay would’ve exploded with anger after being threatened.
However, he prioritized reclaiming his position as heir over such senseless acts of ego and pride.
“Heh… You sure are a funny one, Jonathan. I doubt you guys can bring yourselves to bomb all of Drieso into ashes!”
“You’re right. Drieso has a population of over one hundred million, after all. Warblerich, however, is a different story,” Jonathan replied with a chuckle.
