The Legendary Man novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669 I Promise

“Jay!” Malicious intent surged within Jonathan when he heard that name. Even Zebedee, opposite him, was frightened by his murderous aura.

He wasn’t even that ferocious when fighting me just now. Yet listening to that person’s name alone infuriates him to such an extent. Sensing his depleting mental energy, Zebedee decided to conserve his strength by staying idle.

The Jetroinian warrior’s spirit he upheld and his pride as a cultivator prohibited him from sneaking an attack on Jonathan at that moment because he knew Jonathan could’ve opted to continue escaping, dragging their battle and wearing out his clones’ power to secure a win.

Although he couldn’t fathom Jonathan’s decision to turn back around to protect the commoners, Zebedee had already acknowledged the latter as an honorable and dignified man in his heart.

A fight between real men should be open and straightforward.

All seven Zebedees were either sitting or standing, holding their broken blades in front of them instead of seizing that opportunity to assault Jonathan.

Meanwhile, Jay’s voice sounded from the phone speaker once again.

“Jonathan, don’t worry. We came to Jadeborough with utmost sincerity this time. We wanted to discuss this matter with you face-to-face, but you weren’t here, so we could only talk things through with your wife first.”

“Jay! If you dare lay a finger on her, I swear I’ll murder every member of the Osborne family, including all of your relatives. I won’t spare any of them.”

Despite Jonathan’s nonchalant tone, the resentment flashing in his eyes had reached its peak.

If it weren’t because he was located too far away at that moment, Jonathan would’ve gone to meet up with Jay with his sword in his hand after knowing his wife was being held as a hostage.

Jay guffawed.

“Jonathan, I suggest you reconsider the position you’re in. I brought two God Realm fighters with me, so you should think wisely about your current status before speaking to me.”

Hearing that, Jonathan fell silent.

Although Zachary’s army was one of the Dragon Guards and was equipped with formidable firepower, they could, at most, fight against cultivators in the Grandmaster Realm.

Any God Realm fighter could do as they pleased against an army of over a few hundred thousand men if there weren’t any advanced-level cultivators present to restrain them.

The army’s only choice would be to resort to using fatal weapons with a high area of effect. A God Realm fighter was no different from a godlike being to a commoner, and there was no way for the latter to put up a resistance.

One God Realm fighter would be sufficient to lay waste to the entire Edenic Heights.

With two God Realm fighters on Jay’s side, Jonathan knew anything he said would be mere empty threats.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to discuss a deal with me? Go on, then. I’m curious what kind of deal could possibly prompt the famous Osborn family to go to such lengths to negotiate terms with me,” Jonathan uttered calmly.

“That’s more like it,” Jay chirped. “I know you’re smart and wouldn’t waste time talking nonsense. Jonathan, in the past, the Osborne family had never taken the Goldstein family seriously. In fact, to us, all of you from the prominent families were no different from insignificant insects unworthy of our attention. Unfortunately, things do not always go as we plan. The circumstances in Chanaea have changed. I suppose you’ve heard about the collaboration between Wilbur and the Salladay family, and the rest of the respectable families are planning to negotiate cooperation with Karl. However, in my opinion, working directly with Asura’s Office would be a better bet. We, from the Osborne family, have come here with the intent of asking you to join our side. What do you say?”

Jay stopped his speech at that point and waited for Jonathan to react.

Holding the phone in his hand, Jonathan remained quiet for some time.

If I don’t choose to cooperate with the Osborne family, I’m afraid everyone in Edenic Heights will die. But if I agree, drastic changes will happen to the situation in Chanaea as well as to my cultivation path in the future.

“Jay, when I left the army half a year ago, I’d already cut ties with Asura’s Office,” Jonathan replied indifferently.

Jay snorted coldly. “Jonathan, I figure there’s no need for us to dwell on this trivial topic. You know better than I do about who is actually in control of Asura’s Office. I only need an answer from you. Will you agree to this deal or not?”

Right after Jay was done talking, a shriek rang out.

“Josephine!” Jonathan shouted into the phone speaker because he recognized the voice.
