The Legendary Man

Chapter 980 Guilt
Heaven Sword had an ancient design. With a length of three feet and three inches, the blade itself was thick and razor-sharp. It
was the most standard blade design in ancient times in Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
Mortals preferred light and agile swords due to their ability to allow humans to pull off all sorts of tricks.
Cultivators, on the other hand, were incredibly strong. Even Charleigh, a cultivator specializing in magical arcane arrays, could
easily lift an item weighing over several hundred kilograms without deliberately training for it.
Hence, lightweight and agility weren't important for cultivators.
Instead, the strengths of a cultivator's weapon depended on the weapon's variability and the amount of spiritual energy it could
sustain.
Heaven Sword, for example, didn't have the special ability of transformation or formation, but it could be powered by Pryncyp
and kill an enemy on its own. That was why it was ranked above many weapons.
In fact, it was truly a top divine weapon.
Rather than saying that Sophia was carrying the sword, it was more like she was merely holding the hilt of the sword.
There was no way Sophia could lift something as heavy as Heaven Sword.
Jonathan looked at Heaven Sword, the weapon he had been carrying around and loved ever since he got it. Now that I look at it,
there's an inexplicable sense of rejection in my heart.
“Aunt Sophia,” Jonathan called out.
“Yes?” Sophia froze momentarily when she heard Jonathan calling for her. When she lifted her gaze toward him, she saw that his
eyes were filled with anguish and pain.
Taking in his bloodshot eyes, she choked out, “What's the matter with you, Jonathan?”
Sophia grew up with Jonathan, and she was his only relative. She knew right away Jonathan was in distress.

While caressing Jonathan's head, she muttered, “Everything's okay, Jonathan. No matter what happens, I'll get through it with
you. Although the Goldstein family has left Yaleview, it exists still. Apart from me, you still have your grandma and Uncle Tommy
in Gronga. There are still plenty of members of the Goldstein family around. They set Daniel and you up back then for power, but
they have learned their lesson. Your grandma was just asking me about you a few days ago. We're family, and we'll help you
through this.”
Jonathan lifted his head to look at Sophia with his teary eyes. “Aunt Sophia, you guys know I'm Asura, but do you know how I got
to where I am today? I had to kill! Aunt Sophia, do you know how many people I've killed ever since I joined the army?”
Sophia shook her head lightly. “People die when there's war. I know you're the founder of Asura's Office, but even the battles in
Yaleview took countless lives—”
“One million!”
Sophia shot Jonathan a blank look. “What did you say, Jonathan?”
Looking as if he had just aged a few decades, Jonathan uttered in a hoarse voice, “I said one million. Over the past three years,
I've directly and indirectly killed over a million people. As a matter of fact, I've lost count of the lives I took. That's just an
estimation, but I know that the number of people I sentenced to death is definitely more than that!”
Sophia held her hands over her mouth in response. I knew Jonathan must've resorted to ruthless methods to get Asura's Office
to where it is within three years. However, I didn't know so many lives were lost.
While grabbing his hair with both his hands, Jonathan said, “Aunt Sophia, I murdered a thousand people on my own during my
trip to Remdik this time. In every battle, hundreds of thousands of people would die. Do you know what we call it? We say it's an
achievement! I'm only Asura today because of the one million people I killed. I wanted to end wars with violence. Yet, not only
have I not ended wars, but I've brought even more chaos to Chanaea. The people I slaughtered lost their lives in vain because
Chanaea still isn't a better place.”
Tears were streaming down Jonathan's cheeks as he spoke.
If the principle that a person had always held on to was to get compromised, that person would feel as though everything in their
life was crumbling down.
Sophia no longer knew what advice to give Jonathan, so she embraced him silently and comforted him.
At that moment, Jonathan's was completely broken.

Although he hadn't succumbed to his inner demon, his cultivation level was never going to increase ever again.
In other words, that Divine Realm that he looked forward to was bound to be out of reach.
Besides, his intention to kill had wavered, so Pryncyp of Slaughter would never obey his command ever again.
That was the end of his cultivation journey.
Meanwhile, Jason arrived in the living room of No. 1 Villa with a limbless man in his arm.
Margaret froze on the couch in fear when she saw Jason.
Margaret was Asura's mother-in-law, but Jonathan had told Zachary that they didn't need to mind her status. However, members
of the Guardian Army were still very respectful toward Margaret.
Jason, on the other hand, had had a bloody broken arm when Margaret met him for the first time. Ever since then, she had been
wary and fearful every time she saw him.
When she saw him in the living room that day, he was carrying a limbless man in his arm. She was too scared to even utter a
word.
“I heard Mr. Goldstein is back. Where is he?” Jason asked Margaret and Emmeline.
Emmeline glanced at Jason in response. Although it had been a long time and she had already found out who Jason was, she
would still try to avoid him whenever she could.
“Jonathan is upstairs, but—”
Before Emmeline could finish her sentence, Jason jumped up to the second floor and disappeared around the corner.
Upon arriving in front of Jonathan's door, Jason had wanted to carry Charleigh into the room directly, but he hesitated the
moment he reached out his hand to open the door. In the end, he only knocked lightly on the door. “I'm Jason, Mr. Goldstein. I
have something urgent to talk to you about.”
In the room, Sophia patted Jonathan's head and wiped his tears away. “Since you're busy, Jonathan, I shall make a move now.
Remember what I told you, okay? No matter what you do, the Goldstein family and I will always have your back.”

“Okay,” Jonathan murmured without lifting his head.
Sophia was shocked when she opened the door and saw Charleigh in Jason's arms. However, she quickly recomposed herself
by smiling and left without turning back.
Before Jason even entered the room, he tossed Charleigh to Jonathan and said, “Mr. Goldstein, could you restore his limbs? I
can't do any research without his limbs.”
