The Legendary Man Chapter 1216-Balance

“You’re right. You didn’t mistreat me.” Josephine rubbed her tummy gently and continued, “However, you’ve been using the child in my belly to threaten Jonathan and get him to serve you. Doesn’t that make you a parasite?”

Xavion wanted to refute her, but before he could say a single word, she added, “The eight respectable families had cut off all the cultivators’ resources in Chanaea, right? Furthermore, you guys also have control over food, energy, medications, and all sorts of supplies. When I chatted with the members of the Osborne family, I also heard that you gained control over all the high-ranking officials when you went after the Whitley family a decade ago. Now, the eight respectable families are reigning over the important departments and army in Chanaea. Am I not right?”

In response, Xavion chuckled bitterly and argued, “No. Your words make sense, but the respectable families had worked hard over several generations and—”

“Worked? How hard did you have to work?” Josephine interrupted Xavion’s speech and queried, “Didn’t you terrorize others? Didn’t you murder your enemies? Didn’t you threaten them? Didn’t you force your way through to get whatever you wanted?”

Xavion’s face fell when he heard those questions. There was nothing he could say to defend himself because those were what the eight respectable families did.

In the beginning, perhaps the eight respectable families had built their fortune from scratch. When they gained enough power, however, they eventually did whatever they could to get their hands on whatever they wanted.

In the current situation, the eight respectable families had gained total control over Chanaea, and they didn’t need to further develop.

All they needed to do was look for fast-growing companies and snatch those businesses away. That way, they could live comfortably and lavishly.

In other words, the eight respectable families had completely cut off all the opportunities, regardless of economy or cultivation, for others to grow in Chanaea.

Jonathan’s emergence was meant to restore balance and give hope to Chanaea.

“The respectable families might seem high and mighty and appear not to have any impact on the lives of the Chanaeans. In truth, you guys are involved in every aspect of people’s lives! Although everyone seems to be involved in various industries, people are merely trying to make ends meet. Now that you’ve gained control over the basic necessities, everyone has to work for you guys to make a living. In the end, their expenditures will still end up in the pockets of the eight respectable families. This is not a normal economic structure. Therefore, the eight respectable families are like parasites and vampires! You won’t stop exploiting the public and letting more than one billion of them work for you! Don’t you think it’s time to take the power away from the respectable families?” Josephine questioned.
