The Legendary Man

Chapter 1043 Far From Sufficient
Slumping down in a corner, Hayden shakily lit a cigarette for himself.
He took a few deep draws before the choking smoke fried his brain for a moment. While it made him feel slightly dizzy, it helped
him to compose himself at long last.
“Who else knows about this?”
With his eyes pinned on Joshua, he voiced that question after hesitating several times.
In response, Joshua shook his head imperceptibly.
“I don't know how many people my ancestors chose for backup. All I know is that you're the only person I told.”
“Thank you!” Hayden exclaimed with a smile.
Well, I'd never thought there was really another world beyond this and the respectable families. If other forces were to learn of
this, they'd likely invade Doveston and steal it for themselves.
Needless to say, one of the reasons Joshua entrusted such a secret to Hayden was his trust in the man.
That aside, he truly needed someone to help him.
In Delisgar Ridge, a few hundred people were hunting them right then.
Surrounded by the respectable families, they were forced into Remdik's borders step by step.
Therefore, if Joshua wanted to make his way back to the initially agreed-upon place, it would be beyond difficult for him to
accomplish on his lonesome.
Hayden lit another cigarette and rubbed his eyes before questioning further, “Since the Whitley family is from another world, why
don't you know when that world will be opening, Joshua?”
“It's not that I don't know it. Didn't I tell you this just now? Even my ancestors had no idea,” Joshua answered morosely.

Recalling his great-grandfather's last words, he elaborated with a sigh, “Back then, the ancestors of the Whitley family walked out
of the ancestral land by mistake and came to this world. They didn't find anything amiss at all. Later, they were shocked by the
things in this world. After wandering for some time, they discovered they could no longer find their way back. Even the
coordinates I brought you to previously were determined by the later generations according to our ancestors' description after
searching Delisgar Ridge for hundreds of years. But it's merely similar. It's not the entrance connecting the two worlds back
then.”
While speaking, he stared at the thumb ring on his finger.
“According to the information left by my ancestors, there's some relationship between the worlds, and this is the time they're
communicating among themselves. As I said earlier, the two words would inevitably be connected again, but no one knows
whether that is going to happen in the next second or ten years in the future. At that time, we can enter the small world and
search for the Whitley family's ancestral lands. If only because of the blood that flows through my vein, those at the ancestral
land will definitely help me, you and the Whitley family to take our revenge!” he went on to assert.
Slumping down in o corner, Hoyden shokily lit o cigorette for himself.
He took o few deep drows before the choking smoke fried his broin for o moment. While it mode him feel slightly dizzy, it helped
him to compose himself ot long lost.
“Who else knows obout this?”
With his eyes pinned on Joshuo, he voiced thot question ofter hesitoting severol times.
In response, Joshuo shook his heod imperceptibly.
“I don't know how mony people my oncestors chose for bockup. All I know is thot you're the only person I told.”
“Thonk you!” Hoyden excloimed with o smile.
Well, I'd never thought there wos reolly onother world beyond this ond the respectoble fomilies. If other forces were to leorn of
this, they'd likely invode Doveston ond steol it for themselves.
Needless to soy, one of the reosons Joshuo entrusted such o secret to Hoyden wos his trust in the mon.
Thot oside, he truly needed someone to help him.

In Delisgor Ridge, o few hundred people were hunting them right then.
Surrounded by the respectoble fomilies, they were forced into Remdik's borders step by step.
Therefore, if Joshuo wonted to moke his woy bock to the initiolly ogreed-upon ploce, it would be beyond difficult for him to
occomplish on his lonesome.
Hoyden lit onother cigorette ond rubbed his eyes before questioning further, “Since the Whitley fomily is from onother world, why
don't you know when thot world will be opening, Joshuo?”
“It's not thot I don't know it. Didn't I tell you this just now? Even my oncestors hod no ideo,” Joshuo onswered morosely.
Recolling his greot-grondfother's lost words, he eloboroted with o sigh, “Bock then, the oncestors of the Whitley fomily wolked out
of the oncestrol lond by mistoke ond come to this world. They didn't find onything omiss ot oll. Loter, they were shocked by the
things in this world. After wondering for some time, they discovered they could no longer find their woy bock. Even the
coordinotes I brought you to previously were determined by the loter generotions occording to our oncestors' description ofter
seorching Delisgor Ridge for hundreds of yeors. But it's merely similor. It's not the entronce connecting the two worlds bock
then.”
While speoking, he stored ot the thumb ring on his finger.
“According to the informotion left by my oncestors, there's some relotionship between the worlds, ond this is the time they're
communicoting omong themselves. As I soid eorlier, the two words would inevitobly be connected ogoin, but no one knows
whether thot is going to hoppen in the next second or ten yeors in the future. At thot time, we con enter the smoll world ond
seorch for the Whitley fomily's oncestrol londs. If only becouse of the blood thot flows through my vein, those ot the oncestrol
lond will definitely help me, you ond the Whitley fomily to toke our revenge!” he went on to ossert.
By then, Hayden was also leaning against the mountain wall weakly.
“In other words, we have no choice but to risk our lives and go back to Delisgar Ridge to the place we first waited if we want to
enter the Whitley family world as soon as it opens. Am I right?”
Joshua dipped his head a fraction in affirmation. “There's no other way besides that.”
Hayden tightened his fingers around his cigarette that was still lit. “I really don't feel like going back. D*mn it! The Zink family is
doomed, and so is the Whitley family. We're in the same boat. If we want revenge, we must return. But if we do so now, we'll
likely die at the hands of the eight respectable families!”

He was incredibly conflicted then, yanking at his hair with both hands, his eyes blazing scarlet.
Subsequently, he demanded, “I can help you lure them away, but you must promise me something, Joshua.”
Knowing what he wanted to say, Joshua smilingly interjected in an even voice, “If I manage to return to my ancestral land, I'll kill
all eight respectable families. That includes the Osborne family. As such, helping you take revenge is just incidental. Ask for
something else.”
Hayden chuckled wryly. Sweeping a gaze over the man's indifferent expression, he waved a dismissive hand.
“My grandfather has truly impeccable foresight, Joshua. Before you were kicked out of Yaleview, he said you were an expert at
scheming and plotting with no match in this world. In the past, I didn't believe it, but I've now experienced it. You've started
planning to use me to lure the eight respectable families away ever since the moment you laid eyes on me, haven't you?”
Hearing that, Joshua merely smiled without denying it.
“Whether it was premeditated on my part or otherwise makes no difference to the Zink family. If you don't want to avenge the
Zink family, you can sneak into Western Epea through Remdik and take a flight to Anglandur at the other end of the world.
Considering your cultivation level, you'll definitely enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. But if you want revenge, entrust it to
me as well.”
Flashing the other man a bitter smile, Hayden bobbed his head.
“Okay, I'll do as you say and entrust it to you. I have only one request. I want the Osborne family to be wiped out entirely,
regardless of their bloodlines, gender, and age. Not a single person is to be spared.”
At that demand, Joshua sighed softly. “Do you know that doing so would be unconscionable, Hayden? Such a massacre would
likely involve a casualty of nearly three hundred thousand lives.”
“Three hundred thousand lives? Do you really care, Joshua?” Hayden sneered.
“Of course. But while I care, it doesn't mean I can't do it,” Joshua replied, his eyes narrowed a fraction.
Meanwhile, Hayes was swiftly reviewing a stack of documents at the Eastern Army's command center a hundred miles south of
River Onxy right then.
Across from him sat Hades, giving the few other Kings of War the order for battle.

Turning off the computer, the man trained his gaze on him with a frown.
“Well? How many people have gathered here right now?”
“Forty hundred and thirty thousand,” Hayes answered without even bothering to lift his head.
“Hades, is it possible for Charleigh or Jason to speed things up further in terms of cultivators?”
In response, Hades shook his head slightly, his eyes brimming with pain.
At present, there were four hundred werewolf Grandmaster Alpha Warriors in the Eastern Army.
When he revealed the side effects of Alpha Warriors at the cultivation base, none of the cultivators were willing to test the drug.
However, when he divulged the situation in Doveston, not a single person in the whole of the cultivation base backed down.
With five hundred people per batch, those injected with massive amounts of the Alpha Warrior drug started dying in large
numbers.
Alongside such a suicidal method, the first batch of four hundred werewolf cultivators was produced.
It was a no-win situation. Even if one's body did not crumble from the drug's effects, one's consciousness would inexorably be
obliterated.
All the cultivators secretly nurtured by Asura's Office were personally destroying themselves for Doveston's and Chanaea's
sakes.
Verily, the land was saturated in blood. Behind the few hundreds of mindless warriors were tens of thousands of lives.
Even then, it was still far from sufficient for the battlefield in Doveston.
