The Legendary Man Chapter 1010-While speaking, Xavion tossed Jonathan a phone.
“Even if it’s Old Mr. Osborne who wants to kill Everett, it’ll still cause a huge uproar in the family. That’s why we need you to do it. Once this is settled, we’ll hold you responsible for their deaths and hunt you down within Chanaea for formalities’ sake. This is the condition for you to get Josephine back.”
Jonathan finally understood what Xavion meant.
Back then, he was surprised by the changes in Jay and his schemes.
As of then, it seemed that the actual mastermind behind the scheme was the patriarch of the Osborne family.
“You should’ve said that earlier. Basically, you guys can’t take action, so you need someone reasonable to do it to be accountable to your family. I was chased out of my family by my uncle, too, so I’m familiar with this kind of situation,” Jonathan voiced.
Smiling, he gazed at the phone screen. It displayed two green dots and one red dot.
Xavion explained plainly, “The two green dots are Kimberly and Barnaby, while the red one’s me. The arrow in the middle of the screen is you. Make sure you avoid other families’ cultivators when you make a move. This must be done discreetly to prevent rumors from spreading.”
As he was speaking, he took out a white mask and put it on.
Just as he had said earlier, the Osborne family’s identity could not be exposed.
However, Jonathan’s must be disclosed.
That was the only way Xavion could give the Osborne family an explanation.
The duo stepped out of the tent one after another. Hayes, who was standing far away, hurried over.
“Mr. Goldstein…” he called out apologetically.
Although Hayes did not use the special missile, there was no denying that the thought crossed his mind. If Jonathan had not woken him up, he could have very well made a terrible mistake on impulse.
Hence, Hayes was willing to accept any form of punishment from Jonathan.
He believed that was what he deserved.
Glaring at the dejected-looking man who was waiting for his punishment, Jonathan could not help but sigh.
“Have you thought things through?” he asked flatly.
Hayes nodded fervently.
“Do you think you can still work in this position?” Jonathan asked again.
Hayes froze. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at Jonathan. “Yes, Mr. Goldstein. I can.”
Jonathan patted Hayes on the shoulder with a smile. “Then, do so. It’s a major no-no to change generals on the verge of war. Take good care of your men. By the way, don’t trust the date set by Remdik. Ivanov’s a Divine Realm cultivator. His Pryncyp is in the absolute phase, which means it’s hard for him to receive backlash from Great Pryncyp. Just take his promises with a grain of salt. Judging by the rate at which their troops are gathering, the war might start any time.”
After finishing his last sentence, both he and Xavion disappeared into the night, leaving only two afterimages behind.
A solemn look appeared on Hayes’ face when he sensed their spiritual energy had disappeared from Doveston.
The truth was that Hayes, Hades, and the others always had a feeling the outbreak of war was going to happen any time.
However, the date they predicted often leaned toward the date Ivanov announced, which was thirty-seven days later.
According to the geographical features of both banks of River Onxy, if the war happened for real, the Remdikian army’s southbound route would be focused on the area within thirty miles where both parties’ defenses were at.
River Onxy extended from Doveston to Xemrich. Apart from the thirty-mile section they were stationed in, the other places had dense forests or overly wide rivers, which were unsuitable for mobilizing large-scale troops.
However, the area was less than a hundred miles wide. Even if they spread out to fight, only four hundred thousand people were needed for the attack.
Anyone with experience in wars would know that wars were not all about having the guts to fight.
