The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1127

Joshua put away the magical item and slipped the green ring into his storage ring.

“Hayden, do you remember what you said to me?”

Taken aback by Joshua’s question, Hayden asked, “What did I say?”

Nonetheless, he hesitated for a moment and put on a wry smile. “I remember it now. I told you I placed all the Zink family’s bets on you so you could avenge them.”

Nodding, Joshua turned around and leaped onto the ridge beside the valley. “Hayden, the people who went over just now would never capture me. I’m not that important to be hunted by such a huge-scale dispatch from the Leesons. If I guessed it correctly, my family’s ancestral land has opened, and those people are going there to guard the entrance.”

Hayden remained on the ridge, a complicated look flashing past his eyes.

Back then, Hayden had agreed to Joshua’s request only because he lost hope of exacting revenge when the Zink family was captured by the Osborne family.

Now that the Zink family was rescued by Asura’s Office, Hayden had lost the reason to sacrifice himself.

After all, no one would court death when they could continue living their life.

Looking at Hayden, Joshua bobbed his head lightly and patted the former’s shoulder with a smile.

“All right. Don’t think so much about it anymore. I, too, wouldn’t want to die like that if I were you. Besides, it wouldn’t be as meaningful now if you intend on helping me. The opening of the ancestral land is a huge thing. If we keep guarding the valley, they’ll have a chance of conquering it. Now that the entire Leeson family is going there, it’s meaningless even if you do everything in your power to cover me. You should leave,” said Joshua with a smile before jumping to the north.

However, Hayden simply stood at his spot and gazed coldly at Joshua’s retreating back with his fists clenched. There was no telling what was on the former’s mind.

Hayden’s purpose for coming out this time was to make himself a bargaining chip to bet on Joshua.

Now that the Zink family was protected by Asura’s Office and temporarily lifted off the threats of being wiped out, Hayden had lost his reason to fight.

Although Joshua and Hayden had made it clear that they were in a mutually beneficial relationship, Hayden could not bear to just leave the former alone after having spent so much time with him.

Even kittens and puppies would develop feelings after spending some time together, let alone two adults who had experienced life-and-death situations together.

After much hesitation, Hayden unleashed his spiritual energy and went to catch up with Joshua.

“Joshua!”

While speeding toward the north, Joshua heard Hayden’s voice from afar.

Hence, Joshua slowed his pace, only to find Hayden catching up with him moments later.

“Why are you here?” asked Hayden with a smile. “You should look for Jonathan. He’s a great person. Although we didn’t spend much time together, I’m sure he won’t threaten you with your family like what the Osborne family did. Besides, this war might cause Asura’s Office to break the overall layout of Yaleview Army and the eight respectable families. If three God Realm cultivators from your family could join Asura’s Office, they’ll definitely be put to good use—”

Before Joshua could finish, Hayden said, “Joshua, must you really go? The Whitley family’s gone. You’re their last descendant. Are you really going to face the entire Leeson family and even the cultivators of eight respectable families just for an ancestral land? Is it even worth it?”

Joshua halted in his tracks and stared at the north with a look of indifference.
