The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285 The Plan Of Neil

Hayden’s piercing gaze seemed as if it could bore straight through Jonathan as he observed the latter delivering his “righteous” speech. D*mn it. If that’s not a threat, I don’t know what else is!

However, upon hearing Jonathan mention Hades, Hayden still chose to restrain himself when Jonathan mentioned Hades. We all know who Hades is. He’s simply not human.

Although Hades took over as the second-in-command after Jonathan, his approach to leadership was markedly different from Jonathan’s.

Hayden could never forget the command Hades issued to recruit the three God Realm cultivators of the Zink family.

In a situation where the cultivators of the God Realm were not formidable enough to contend with the Osborne family, Hades issued an order to target Quadfield in Drieso directly.

Since the exact location of the Osborne family could not be determined, millions of civilians living in Quadfield had to be evaluated. Hades intentionally did this to threaten the Osbornes.

In the realm of cultivators, there is a timeless wisdom—Names may falter, but nicknames are unfailingly true.

Hades was not his real name. He earned the nickname through his deadly dealings with corpses. However, as time passed, everyone simply accepted Hades as his name.

Of course, that man did live up to his nickname.

Hades, when driven to his limits, would not flinch at wiping out millions in a single stroke, let alone a mere few hundred in the Zink family.

After contemplating for a while, Hayden could only raise his hand in resignation. “There’s no need for further debate. I won’t be teaming up with anyone present here. We, the Zink family, are not that ambitious. We just want to live a peaceful and stable life. I understand that you all are interested in the potential talent I may have for formation. But I must responsibly tell you that even if I truly make some achievements in formations in the future, I’ll not align myself with any power. What I desire is freedom.”

Jonathan shot a surprised look at Hayden behind him. Yet, after a moment’s reflection, he grasped that Hayden had taken the most advantageous course for himself.

A person’s talent would inevitably arouse the envy of others.

If Hayden were to choose a faction, no matter which side he aligned with, the others would inevitably plot against him in secret.

Certainly, a genius specializing in formations differed from a genius in cultivation. It was not a skill that could be acquired later in life with resources.

This situation was reminiscent of modern-day students learning mathematics. Just as some students effortlessly grasped the concepts and could apply them in diverse contexts, others still struggled to comprehend, even with guidance from top-notch tutors, who graduated from elite universities.

Such a talent was innate, and no one could change that.

Therefore, the only way for Hayden to ensure his safety now was to remain neutral, making it possible for any faction to recruit him.

Seeing Hayden make such a choice, everyone else chose not to say more.
