The Legendary Man novel Chapter 674

Chapter 674 Ambitious

After completing the arrangements made for Asura’s Office, Jonathan opened the website skillfully. Jonathan stared at the simple login interface before him. Finally, he keyed in a password after thinking for a long moment.

As the chat boxes popped up one after another, Jonathan deftly tapped on the keyboard. Following that, he connected the phone to the computer and called a number. Beep, beep, beep…

The phone rang thrice before the sound of the call connecting sounded. “Hello? Who’s this?” A slightly raspy and weary voice sounded from the other end of the phone line.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jonathan was silent for a moment before casually speaking. “The logistics supply in Horbah has been cut off. Karl is facing off against Medved Army at the moment and he simply cannot spare the manpower to rebuild the supply network. I know you’ve been waiting for my phone call. You should make your move now.”

Inside a mansion in Zedfield, Yaleview, Wilbur glanced at the document before him. An old model Nokia phone was placed beside him.

Apart from receiving phone calls, the old phone did not have other functions. Even if someone wanted to eavesdrop on the conversations, there was no way to hack.

Wilbur chuckled as he glanced at the document in hand. “Jonathan, the Eastern Army’s backup supply line was destroyed. That matter is the concern of Asura’s Office. Perhaps you dialed the wrong number when you called Yaleview Army?”

Jonathan snickered when he heard the voice on the phone. “Wilbur, we both know the reaction of Yaleview Army if I really send people to support Doveston. Let’s cut to the chase. Didn’t you keep your phone precisely for this day? Although Terrandya and Baridoki can muster up some supplies, it’s simply not enough to provide for the consumption of one hundred and sixty thousand people.”

Jonathan fell silent after he spoke and stared at the phone in his hand.

“Karl and Eastern Army betrayed Asura’s Office. This cannot be helped,” Wilbur ventured slowly. “Jonathan, when we were at the Valley of Elites, you could not bear to cripple the elite warriors who fought against us. You even said something about them being crippled for life if you did that. Truly, I do not understand why you cannot rid yourself of this softhearted behavior. Can’t you just kill Karl directly and take back Eastern Army?”

Upon hearing that, Jonathan let out a sigh. “I know. Although you pursue power, you will not watch Eastern Army being defeated. Just state your conditions.”

“Hehe…” Wilbur’s chuckle sounded from the phone. “Jonathan, you’re the same as always. You haven’t changed at all. Since you let me state the condition, I will tell you. Otherwise, you will be worried.”

Wilbur paused for a moment. “Jonathan, your goal was always to overthrow the monopoly of the eight respectable families and to return peace and prosperity to Chanaea. The path you seek is for a great cause. I am just an ordinary man and not a noble person like you. What I seek has always been power and status. After we join forces for the plan, I will help you destroy the eight respectable families. After that, you will disband Asura’s Office and never get involved in anything else. How does that sound?”

Disband Asura’s Office…

Jonathan stared at the phone without any expression. Even his breathing seemed to have slowed down.

He was aware that Wilbur was not just after the disbandment of Asura’s Office. The latter planned to devour Chanaea’s military power in order to strengthen his position and complete the unification.

“Wilbur, do you intend to help me slay the dragon, only to become the dragon yourself?”

“Jonathan Goldstein!” Through the phone, Wilbur’s voice suddenly rose. “Do you really think you’re the savior? Or do you think that tumors like respectable families can be completely eradicated after you clean them up? Dream on! As long as humans exist, they will eternally be driven by desires and interests. There will always be a hierarchy in society.”
