The Legendary Man novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646 Please Forgive Me

All eight of the respectable families had heard about what happened in Yaleview. Sure enough, they all decided to send their men over to Horbah in Doveston.

Apart from wealth and power, the respectable families also competed for control over the military over ten years ago.

Although the soldiers were nothing compared to those from Asura’s Office, Yaleview Army, and Eastern Army, they were good enough to keep the other respectable families in check.

After defeating the Whitley family, the eight respectable families suffered heavy casualties and prioritized their recovery over their military forces. That led to the birth of a few key individuals, who were later known as the eight Kings of War of Asura’s Office.

As the soldiers were no longer bound to the respectable families, they started abusing their power and committing lots of crimes.

To maintain order, Chanaea had set up eight armed forces all over the country.

Three years ago, Jonathan joined the armed forces and helped expedite the process tremendously. It wasn’t long before order was restored to Chanaea.

Jonathan then elected the Eight Kings of War after taking into account their accomplishments in the military.

That marked the end of the eight respectable families’ control over the military power in Chanaea.

Since neither of them had a significant advantage over the other, they were okay with the outcome.

After all, the eight respectable families prioritized being more or less equal in power with one another.

However, the Salladay family secretly forming an alliance with Wilbur disturbed that balance. Regardless of whether Wilbur had chosen to side with the Salladay family, the alliance would still tip the scale of power in the latter’s favor.

With six hundred thousand soldiers from Yaleview Army on their side, the Salladay family had an unfair advantage over the other respectable families.

Naturally, they didn’t take too kindly to that.

Jonathan’s Asura’s Office was out of the question as he was determined to stand against the respectable families. Lauryn had made that very clear the last time she returned home.

As such, Karl was the only one they could try to ally with.

Although Karl was also against the respectable families, he betrayed Asura’s Office and ended up with the Medved Army bearing down on him.

Since Karl was stuck with nowhere left to go, the respectable families believed it would be easy to ally with him if they lent him a helping hand.

Karl, who was staying thirty miles south of River Onxy, had no idea that the turn of events in Yaleview had made him a prime target for the seven respectable families.

Meanwhile, in Sparaville of Terrandya, Jonathan had a deep frown on his face as he lounged on the couch.

He was reading through a report sent by a sleeper agent he had planted deep within Zedfield.

Ever since the death of Agent 018, Jonathan had ordered all of his spies to go into hiding.

With Wilbur’s cultivation level reaching God Realm and Yaleview under total control of the Yaleview Army, Jonathan didn’t want his spies to lose their lives in vain.
