The Legendary Man novel Chapter 854

The Legendary Man Chapter 854-The news of Karl’s death was all over Chanaea in less than an hour.

Back in Zedfield, Yaleview, Wilbur frowned as he read the newspaper in his hand.

“Changing generals on the verge of war is a major military taboo. Hayes may have been the King of Lumonburg, but he’s only a minor army commander. In other words, he’s utterly incomparable to Eight Kings of War. Right now, chaos roamed in and out of Chanaea. Whether it is from the cultivator’s or Doveston’s perspective, efforts should be focused on stabilizing the situation. While killing Karl quelled the opposing voices in Asura’s Office after the Northern Crimson Prison incident, it was a loss in terms of Chanaea’s stability.” The puzzlement in his eyes intensified as he stared at the picture in the newspaper. Karl’s most definitely dead if this picture can be trusted. There’s no way a Divine Realm cultivator can survive that slash on the chest, much less a God Realm cultivator.

He muttered, “What the heck is Jonathan trying to do?”

…

Meanwhile, the core members of the Osborne family had gathered at their ancestral land in Wasahurst Mountains, Quadfield, Drieso.

Mason was sitting upright with Everett on his right.

As for Jay, he had been thoroughly excluded. Thus, he could only sit at the end of the left side. In Everett’s generation, the people in charge of the Osborne family began establishing new direct family branches.

“Speak,” said Mason while staring at the crowd below him. “Everyone here is a decision-maker in the Osborne family. I want to know your opinions on the death of Karl by Jonathan’s hand.”

Everett sipped his coffee and turned to Xavion. “What do you think about this? After all, you’ve spent many days with Jonathan back in Remdik.”

In response, Xavion stuffed almost all the cake in his hand into his mouth.

“Well, if you ask me, Karl’s dead for real.” As he recalled the events in Remdik, he sighed slightly. “Jonathan shouldn’t have appeared in Remdik, but he did the minute he learned that Karl dragged the eight families into the matter. The only reason he traveled to River Onxy was to kill Karl. I remember clearly that, even after Karl saved Jonathan with us in Remdik, it didn’t dissuade Jonathan from taking Karl’s life. If you ask me, I’d say Karl’s already dead to Jonathan after the Northern Crimson Prison incident. Hence, I think there’s no point in talking about this because it’s nothing out of the ordinary.”

The crowd exchanged glances as they thought Asura’s Office was a wild card.

From their perspective, Jonathan should’ve spared Karl for saving his life, which was why they didn’t expect how stubborn Jonathan was in upholding his principle.

“In that case, that will save us a lot of trouble,” muttered Mason before grinning at the crowd. “The Henderson family, the Leeson family, and the Mallory family each used a parasite curse to control Karl’s son, which forced Eastern Army to ally with them. However, now that Karl’s dead, Tiger’s the new leader of Eastern Army, meaning we’ll have a chance to make them our allies. I want someone to make contact with them. Also, considering Tiger is Jonathan’s loyal subordinate, he had basically returned Eastern Army to Asura’s Office. Then again, he’s only human, and all humans have weaknesses. What do you all think? “

Once again, the crowd turned to Xavion.

Among the ten Divine Realm elders in the Osborne family, Xavion was the only one who frequently spent time outside.

He was practically the Osborne family’s representative to outsiders, so the crowd focused on him.

“Is this a joke?” Xavion sneered. “I may be responsible for handling external family matters, but that doesn’t mean I’ll do everything related to that. I’m okay with contacting the eight families, major sects, Asura’s Office, or Yaleview Army because they’re on the same level as our family. However, Tiger had only just been named a King of War. He doesn’t have the right to speak to me.”

In response, the crowd smiled faintly while shaking their heads.
