Chapter 609 Leave The Office Of Asura Following Jonathan’s words, other than Zachary and Dorian who had lost their consciousness, the rest of the Kings of War looked grim. All of them had survived countless battles.
Although they did not keep in touch very often, Jonathan knew he could trust them with his life. Back then, Jonathan would have never entrusted Karl to guard the most important region of Doveston if he was not someone he trusted.
Yet, even someone like Karl betrayed Asura’s Office—no one could figure out the reason. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Karl appeared very calm.
“Will you believe me if I tell you that my wife and children are being held captive by Remdik?”
Jonathan shook his head slightly.
“Karl, although we have been together for less than a year, we have gone through many life and death situations. Back when you went to battle with me, your entire family had been captured by the enemy. Yet, you didn’t even give in. You have never hesitated in leading the troops and fighting against the enemies. What makes you think I will believe you now? Don’t bother talking rubbish. Tell me your reason so that I know what I have gone wrong.”
When Jonathan was talking, he sounded very calm, but his eyes were bloodshot. He had been gripping the chair so tightly that his knuckles had turned pale.
No one could understand how tormented Jonathan was at that moment. Ever since Jonathan joined the military, he had gone through a lot.
When Jonathan first set up Asura’s Office, he did not have any ambition. As for Karl and the others, they had joined on a voluntary basis and hoped that they could create a more peaceful Chanaea in the long run.
Now that someone had betrayed Asura’s Office, it was not a matter of disloyalty to Jonathan alone. It meant that the traitor did not believe in the goal of Asura’s Office anymore.
Jonathan wanted to find out if such a change in mind had anything to do with his leadership in Asura’s Office. If that was the case, he had to make the necessary changes immediately.
Minor issues can create huge chaos if one doesn’t pay attention. Perhaps, I have been mobilizing too much of resources without consulting others. Or, maybe it’s because I’m spending less time managing Asura’s Office.
Either way, Jonathan planned to put a stop to whatever was causing Asura’s Office to implode.
Once one person started leaving, it would start a chain reaction. Soon, others would follow suit. When that happened, Asura’s Office would be in real danger.
Karl looked at Jonathan and took out a cigarette from his pocket before lighting it. “Mr. Goldstein, since you asked, I will oblige you then.”
As Karl spoke, he looked around him. “As for the rest of you, I know you hate me. But I want you to pay attention to what I have to say next!” Jonathan nodded before saying, “Go on. We are all ears.”
Karl blew out a puff of smoke before saying what he wanted. “Mr. Goldstein, let me ask you something. Why did we set up Asura’s Office in the beginning?”
Jonathan replied, “To stop all wars and turn Chanaea into a peaceful place.” “Then, what have you done?” questioned Karl with a frown.
“How dare you!” roared Hades. “Karl, back then, it was Mr. Goldstein who saved your entire family. Right now, you are questioning him. I can’t believe you are such an ungrateful person!”
