The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1009

The Legendary Man Chapter 1009-Jonathan inhaled sharply in response to Xavion’s utterances.

“You people from respectable families are so inhumane. What you’re saying is that anyone who wants to be in power has to take advantage of others, and they must keep seizing resources if they wish to protect their immediate family. If they lose in the family’s feud, death would be the only outcome awaiting them. Is that what you’re saying?”

Munching on the sweet potato, Xavion frowned and pondered before nodding. “I guess you could say that. There’s an important precondition to internal strife in respectable families, though. No matter what tricks we use on our family members, we must not harm the interests of the family. If someone breaks the rule, they will be obliterated no matter how powerful they are.”

Jonathan bobbed his head.

That rule was easy to understand. The same applied to the Goldstein family, too.

Respectable families allowed internal strife that was on a reasonable level because they wanted to use the method to pick a more scheming leader.

Although the outcome was a little cruel for the losers, having someone like the winner lead the family could help them advance further.

It was a choice that benefited the entire family.

However, Jonathan had his doubts.

“If they’re not allowed to harm the interests of the family, then what about Jay promising to save Josephine when all’s done? Doesn’t that count?”

Meanwhile, Xavion was leaning lazily against the chair after finishing two sweet potatoes in succession.

When he heard Jonathan’s question, he smiled and shook his head.

“Jonathan, you only serve two purposes to the Osborne family. One, you’re the leader of Asura’s Office who controls two million soldiers of the organization. The special missile in your possession could pose a threat to the eight respectable families.

“Two, your talent in cultivation. We’ve performed a thorough investigation on you. Back then, you were not welcomed by the Goldstein family, nor were you a cultivator. After that, you went to the Smith family of Jadeborough and endured a lot of humiliation. Still, nothing changed even then.

“Hence, there was no way you’d just started cultivating recently. The only possibility is that you began cultivating when you joined Harfush’s army three years ago. Three years ago, you, a mortal, became a God Realm cultivator. An incredibly talented cultivator like you would be a horrifying existence in the cultivation world.

“Besides, I witnessed you using Pryncyp upon entering Remdik. To be enlightened with Pryncyp is a criterion to enter Divine Realm. We captured Josephine only because we wanted to control a Divine Realm cultivator. Now that your Cor is broken and you’ve separated from Asura’s Office, you’re basically useless to us.

“Thus, it really doesn’t matter to us if we return Josephine to you dead or alive. A God Realm cultivator might draw the attention of the eight respectable families, but you’re far from being able to frighten us. Besides, it’s not like you don’t have concerns. You have dozens of family members at Gronga, don’t you?”

Xavion chortled while speaking in a threatening tone.

Of course, Jonathan knew the members of the Goldstein family could never hide from the spies of the eight respectable families.

Regardless, he felt a strong repulsion in his heart when Xavion threatened him with his family.

Xavion was right. Despite declaring with immense conviction that he wanted to fight the Osborne family to the death, Jonathan had too many concerns.

Killing five hundred men from the Osborne family was akin to killing a fraction of their collateral relatives.

On the contrary, killing fifty people of the Goldstein family was like wiping them off the earth.
