The Legendary Man Chapter 998-The eight respectable families felt both appreciation and loathing toward Asura’s Office. After all, anyone would wish for their power and influence to grow with every passing day. However, the organization that helped to stabilize Chanaea was also the one who wanted to get rid of them! They longed to eliminate Asura’s Office, yet no other organization had emerged that could take its place. That was why they were in a dilemma.
While everyone was silent, Stellario suddenly sat up straighter and said, “Oh! You mentioned the Whitley family earlier. Do you think… Could that have been Joshua’s doing?”
The representatives of the respectable families were stunned when they heard that.
Smacking his thigh, Xavion exclaimed, “That’s right! We’ve hunted Joshua for so long. Not that he dares not show himself; it’s entirely plausible that he could be doing this to get revenge on us!”
“No matter whether you look at it from timing, financial capability, or motive, it all matches up!” someone else piped up.
Another added, “Now that you mention it, that does make sense.”
The others turned to each other and exchanged conflicted looks.
To them, Joshua had always been a loser who could barely hide from the eight families, so they had never considered the possibility that he could be the culprit.
However, Stellario’s remark made them increasingly convinced that regardless of whether it was in terms of the motive or other aspects, it seemed more likely that Joshua was responsible for the bounty instead of Jonathan.
“D*mn it! That little brat must be behind it!” Cody snarled coldly. “One doesn’t need the right background or power to post a bounty on Dark Web. All he needs is a computer to do that, and that brat has a storage ring. It has to be him.”
“I agree. If we’re talking about financial capability, Joshua has no problem forking out three hundred billion, let alone three billion. After all, the Whitley family left him a fortune,” said Winston.
Stellario was no longer his usual languid self. Instead, he squatted on his chair and looked at the others with shining eyes. “That’s right! Just think about it. That guy has a grudge against the eight respectable families and longs to bring us down. All this is his fault, I’m sure of it.”
Even Eva, the one who hated Asura’s Office the most, mulled over the matter in her heart. “What you say seems reasonable. Jonathan handed over control of Asura’s Office of his own volition because his Pryncyp has been destroyed.”
“Now is the most dangerous time for both Asura’s Office and Jonathan.”
“At a time like that, there’s no way they’d try to make trouble for us. It looks like we were barking up the wrong tree.”
“There’s no doubt that it was Joshua!”
The representatives of the eight respectable families voiced their opinions one after another, throwing out their previous suspicions and identifying a new culprit—Joshua!
While that discussion was happening, Joshua and Hayden were fighting guerrillas in the depths of the primeval forest along Delisgar Ridge when Joshua sneezed several times in a row. The pair looked at each other in confusion.
“Are you… sick?” Hayden asked doubtfully while holding a sniper rifle in his hands.
Joshua was just as perplexed. A God Realm cultivator catching a cold? Isn’t that a little far-fetched?
