The Legendary Man

Chapter 995 Gathering Of The Eight Families
No one knew if Kane and Terrence would go against Asura's Office like Karl did.
However, Jonathan was very sure that those two lunatics would attack Yaleview the moment they lost control of themselves.
In the previous challenges, both Kane and Terrence spared no effort in their crusades against Yaleview.
In fact, according to Intelligence Unit, those two men were more than ready to mobilize their armies and get them to head toward
Yaleview the instant they received the challenge.
If Jonathan were willing, the duo would have sent their troops of four hundred thousand men into Yaleview.
Although their soldiers were no match for Yaleview Army, both Eastern Army of Asura's Office and Yalegard Legion would react.
When that happened, it would not be a simple battle. The whole of Chanaea would go into chaos.
With the backing of the Osborne family, Jonathan could abdicate and still act as a deterrent against Kane and Terrence.
Even the recent mobilization of troops from Southern Army to Doveston by Hades and the order for Shusonna Army to march
forth to Merania were attempts to increase the sense of belonging of the two men to Jonathan so that they would feel at ease
with Asura's Office.
Jonathan reckoned that Hades' tactics would make the two men listen to his bidding in no more than six months' time.
Only two men were in on that scheme. One was Jonathan, and the other was Hades.
As such, Savannah's plan would not be able to succeed even if Jonathan was killed.
The only way to annihilate Asura's Office would be a head-on fight.
The news of Jonathan and Asura's Office's abdication reached the entire Chanaea within three hours.
Even Remdik, Jetroina, and West Region, which shared the same border as Chanaea, received the news.
After all, those three countries had been sending countless secret agents into Chanaea in their attempts to fight against it.
Therefore, it was not difficult for those countries to receive such a piece of open information.

Jonathan did not keep the news away from the Blackwood family as well. It seemed that Asura's Office had released the news
on purpose.
No one could understand why Jonathan decided to do that.
Asura's Office was a powerful military organization with close to two million soldiers.
Eastern Army was also in charge of Chanaea's special missile launch center.
With such capabilities, Jonathan could be the ruler of Chanaea anytime he wanted to.
Nobody would dream of giving up such powers.
Yet, Jonathan did it.
Not only did he do that, but he also did it without any hesitation and left no leeway for himself.
The various forces also received another shocking news. Their intel informed them that Jonathan's Cor had been destroyed after
he returned from Remdik.
Everyone, no matter where they were from, felt sorry for Jonathan when they heard both pieces of news.
The name, Asura, was well-known around the world.
It was not because of the number of soldiers he had but the fact that he had managed to turn things around for Chanaea in less
than three years.
Everything that he had done was legendary.
Yet, right now, the legend had come to an end. People could not help but feel a sense of desolation.
Just as the foreign forces were finding it a pity that Jonathan had abdicated, the eight respectable families could not care less
about the business of Asura's Office.
That was because they had been compromised.
The core members of the auxiliary bloodlines of the eight respectable families had been assassinated that day.
More than ten of them had perished in less than half a day.

Initially, they thought that another one of the respectable families was coming after them, so they quickly collected themselves in
order to fight back.
However, they found out the truth after the Leeson family caught hold of one of the killers.
They were on a hit list!
The eight respectable families had been working with Dark Web for a long time.
As one of the largest customers of Dark Web, they had always been the ones hunting others, never the other way around.
Doing so would be no different from courting death for no apparent reason.
Unfortunately, they were on the hit list of Dark Web, and to make matters worse, three thousand of them were on the list!
All three thousand of them were mortals with no cultivation level, but they were also the core leaders of the auxiliary bloodlines of
respectable families.
The main patriarchs could concentrate on their cultivation and own countless resources because of the protection provided by
those leaders.
Once those people had been annihilated, the main patriarchs were like generals without their armies.
They could never allow such a thing to happen.
A few months ago, the eight respectable families were fighting among themselves. Right now, they decided to work together
because of the hit list.
Meanwhile, in Moonriver Estate on the outskirt of Yaleview, that was where the Osborne family resided.
In the past, when Jonathan was trying to rescue Sophia, that was where he had beaten Garrison to a pulp.
After that incident, the bronze handbell had been following Jonathan and blocked off several attacks for him.
The Osborne family was the host, and the representatives of six other respectable families were already there. Only the most
mysterious Gray family had yet to turn up.

“Hmph! Why isn't the Gray family here yet?” commented Stellario of the Mallory family as he lazed on the chair and let out a
yawn.
“I have no idea why I have been summoned here to Yaleview. Why don't we start first? If that guy isn't here yet, so be it.”
Everyone looked at Xavion the moment Stellario finished talking.
Xavion was a strong character who was unrestrained and unruly, particularly in his words. When he was on the same side as
Jonathan in Remdik, he pissed Jonathan off so much that Jonathan nearly attacked him.
Furthermore, Xavion disliked the sight of Stellario the moment he first saw him.
When he heard Stellario's comments, he put his cup down and chuckled.
“You're from the Mallory family. Why are you talking and dressed like you're from another place? Tsk! Doesn't the Mallory family
have a decent set of clothes? You're such an ignorant person, and I feel so disgusted by you. If you can't wait, then go outside
and play.”
“D*mn you!”
Stellario then jumped up and threw a dagger in Xavion's direction.
Ding!
A silver spear shot out in time and hit the dagger.
The dagger then flew back to its owner. Stellario quickly transformed his spiritual energy into an arm and caught hold of the
weapon.
He sneered when he saw Sirius retracting his spear.
“Sirius, I'm warning you. I'll kill you right now!”
