The Legendary Man novel Chapter 845

The Legendary Man Chapter 845-Upon receiving the order, Zachary left with his men, leaving Jonathan and Emmeline to themselves in the living room.

Even though Jonathan fully grasped the information given by Josephine, he chose not to make a move.

Considering the vast intelligence network and the number of soldiers he had, he would have needed at most three days to scout out where the Osborne family had been hiding in Quadfield.

That large-scale search, however, would only serve to tip off the Osborne family.

To top it off, the Osborne family would surely relocate themselves as soon as Jonathan’s course of action was exposed. More importantly, Josephine would also be in great danger.

Truth be told, Jonathan could have spread the word of the Osborne family’s ancestral land being in Quadfield without actually getting himself involved in the hurdle.

Once the other seven respectable families got ahold of the news, they would definitely assemble to get rid of such a formidable force like the Osborne family, repeating history akin to annihilating the Whitley family bloodline a decade ago.

Sure enough, that would bring about a reduction in the number of respectable families. Still, taking down the Osborne family would mean strengthening the other seven respectable families and increasing their influence just as well.

Should Jonathan be relying on the strength of a third party to have his enemies up against each other’s throats, he might be indirectly fostering the emergence of one to three ginormous respectable families in Chanaea.

When that happened, they might even come to terms with one another, not to mention form an affiliation. It would then be difficult for Jonathan to find their weak spot.

In time, it would be the end of the road for Asura’s Office.

To prevent that outcome, all eight respectable families had to be obliterated as a whole once and for all.

Vexed, Jonathan leaned against the couch and massaged his forehead.

Seeing how the situation in Chanaea had gotten more and more complicated, he could already feel quite a headache.

Whatever call he was to make, there would be no room for error. It was as though he was treading on thin ice as he faced covetous, hostile forces looking for an opening.

At that very juncture, an image of Leslie from Summerbank popped into Jonathan’s head all of a sudden.

From an operation standpoint, there were simply way too many external factors to be considered for every decision he made.

Leslie’s cold, insensitive temperament was the answer Asura’s Office needed.

Nevertheless, Jonathan had always loathed the way Leslie deploy the soldiers on the battlefield.

In his opinion, his soldiers weighed more than just numbers. As all men were born equal, he would never allow his people to be mere cannon fodder in war.

The last thing Jonathan wished for was to have a person like Leslie become one of the higher-ups in Asura’s Office.

If she were ever put in control, it was no doubt Asura’s Office would triumph over its enemies but at the same time suffer greater losses.

Right then, a cup of coffee landed on the coffee table in front of Jonathan.

He looked up, only to be greeted by Emmeline’s grace.

“Stop brooding over it, Jonathan. You hardly ever make a trip back here. Take a break, will you?”

A faint grin appeared on Emmeline’s face as she spoke.

Jonathan, in turn, was sort of startled by the woman’s thoughtful gesture.

As far as he could remember, Emmeline had always been a mischievous, feisty one. Although she might not have done anything outrageous, there had not been a single moment she had failed to exasperate the people around her.

Since when did she learn to care for others?

While Jonathan pinned his gaze on Emmeline, he picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip.

Emmeline let out a snort upon catching sight of the man’s demeanor.

“Why that look? Are you scared that I may have spiked the coffee?”

“Nah, I wouldn’t think that. After all, the last time you tried cooking, the food tasted like–”

“Jonathan!”

Emmeline took the pillow beside her and tossed it right at Jonathan.

Of course, the latter managed to grab the pillow. A chuckle escaped from his lips.

“Your puny trick can never touch an expert of God Realm like yours truly.”

“You’re so annoying.”

Emmeline went and sat opposite the couch, wrapping her arms around her legs and sighing.

“I wonder if Josephine even sleeps well at night. I guess she must be thinking about whether we’d notice the signal she’s sent out.”

As she dropped that remark, she raised her chin and directed her line of sight to Jonathan.

“My sister must be hoping so badly that you’d appear right before her to take her home, Jonathan.”
