The Legendary Man Chapter 700-“Haha…”
Upon hearing Karl’s words, Xavion couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing out loud.
“Karl, I’m well aware that the Eight Kings of War are die-hard fans of Jonathan, but do you really think he’ll achieve anything? As of now, he is nothing but a pawn of the Osborne family. The Goldstein family has been eradicated, while his wife and child have been kidnapped. What is he going to fight back with? Does he think he is capable just because he has achieved God Realm? Do you really know how powerful respectable families are? From our perspective, someone of God Realm isn’t even worthy of our attention.”
Sirius, who was right beside them, didn’t say a word as he cleaned his spear with a piece of leather cloth. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Turning around, Karl looked at Jonathan.
“Xavion, you are just too full of yourself. Or should I say, you know too little of us because you never saw us as a threat? Jonathan, Wilbur, and I are three very different people. I’m hot-blooded and courageous but lack a strategic mind. I get myself in trouble easily. Wilbur is ambitious and yet knows how to go with the flow. Alone in the world, he fears nothing.
“As for Jonathan, he aims to bring peace to the nation and has a big heart. It’s common for someone like him to have plenty of flaws that could bring him down the path of destruction. In the entire country, there aren’t that many players capable of sitting opposite the eight respectable families at this chessboard of life.
“While I’m no more than a relatively important pawn, Jonathan and Wilbur are definitely qualified to do so. The respectable families may have a long history, but it’s too early to tell if you’ll emerge victorious against them. So, my advice to you is to not go overboard in whatever you do. Obviously, the reason I’m telling you this is to repay the kindness you have shown me earlier. As to what happens next, the decision is in your hands.”
Once he was finished, Karl leaned against the wall of the mountain.
Xavion and Sirius fell into silence.
It wasn’t until darkness fell that a groan was heard from within the cave.
All three of them opened their eyes and tightened their grip on their weapons.
Jumping to his feet, Karl dashed inside to check on Jonathan.
“Mr. Goldstein, are you all right?”
“K-Karl?” Jonathan uttered in a daze and quickly recalled everything that had happened.
“Jonathan, I’m surprised to see that you’re still alive,” Xavion said with a chuckle as he approached.
The sight of Xavion brought a smile to Jonathan’s lips.
“I remember you saved me. Do you have any Energy Gathering Pills? Give me two.”
“Here.”
Sirius threw a small bottle over to Karl. As he opened it, a whiff of pure spiritual energy was released into the air.
Inside was a black pill that was the size of one’s thumb.
The moment Jonathan popped it into his mouth, the pill melted instantly and turned into a cold liquid that flowed down his throat.
In the blink of an eye, Jonathan felt his meridians reinvigorated by spiritual energy. Even his drained energy field suddenly felt replenished.
“Do you have more?” Jonathan asked Sirius.
Even though the spiritual energy contained in the pill was pure, the amount left a lot to be desired.
A single pill, at most, could only replenish twenty percent of Jonathan’s spiritual energy.
It was then that Sirius looked at Jonathan in shock.
“Another one?”
“Four actually,” Jonathan replied as he gave Sirius a hesitant look. “In fact, five would be best.”
“Impossible!” Sirius rejected him outright. “Jonathan, do you think this is popcorn? Consuming six at one go will kill you!”
Sirius put away the Energy Gathering Pills he had initially wanted to give Jonathan. In his eyes, the latter was just greedy.
