The Legendary Man

Chapter 1005 Teaming Up
Capture Joshua, huh?
Jay kept quiet as he stared at Jonathan and thought about his request.
Joshua gained the Whitley family's inheritance, so he must possess a ton of treasures. Formation Crusher, Troop Summoner,
and Hailstorm Fan alone are regarded as the most valuable treasures in all of Chanaea. The three Divine Realm elders of the
Whitley family fought off eight Divine Realm cultivators with the help of those three treasures. If I hand Joshua over to Jonathan,
Joshua's strategies and resources, combined with Asura's Office, will make Jonathan a huge threat to us all.
With that in mind, Jay shook his head and said, “No way. Joshua is far too valuable of a resource. None of the eight respectable
families would be able to rest easy if he joins Asura's Office.”
“Eight respectable families?” The look in Jonathan's eyes grew cold as he continued, “You can't even handle the Osborne family
right now, and you're worried about the safety of the other families? I only want you and your men to help me locate Joshua after
I eliminate Kimberly and Barnaby. He's not with you guys at the moment, is he? I'm simply trying to turn one of my enemies into
an ally, that's all. The other seven respectable families must be hunting Joshua down in Delisgar Ridge as we speak. I am
guaranteeing the deaths of Kimberly and Barnaby in exchange for a one in eight chance of you finding Joshua, which you
haven't even done. What do you have to lose?”
“I...”
Jay shook his head helplessly when faced with Jonathan's questioning.
“In that case, I have a condition as well. If Joshua is to join Asura's Office, then you must hand the three top-quality magical
items over to the Osborne family.”
“I'm afraid that's impossible.”
Jonathan had no idea why the eight respectable families were trying so hard to find the Whitley family's treasures, but he
understood that those items were definitely of great importance.
In fact, those treasures could even be as valuable as Heaven Sword.

It hurt Jonathan deeply when he had to destroy several magical items after Sean's identity was exposed, so he wasn't about to
hand three of them over to the Osborne family.
“You might as well give up on Joshua, Jay. If he's willing to join Asura's Office, then he will become not only one of its fighters but
also a core member of the organization.”
That was when Jonathan recalled something and continued, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. You and the rest of
the respectable families should forget about decapitating Asura's Office. Its reformation began a year ago, so it wouldn't do you
guys any good even if you managed to eliminate the Eight Kings of War. Asura's Office is currently practicing a reserve system
that will immediately replace fallen commanders with the next highest-ranking commander. Therefore, Asura's Office could send
seven of its Eight Kings of War after the eight respectable families. Keep in mind that we have tons of special missiles as well as
a wide arsenal of weaponry and tactics at our disposal. They may call me 'Asura,' but I've been holding back far too much in the
past. I've denied their requests to rise in arms for three years. Now that I have stepped down and placed Hades in charge, I can't
promise he'll be willing to do the same. Trust me, the eight respectable families can never hope to defeat us.”
Jay glared at Jonathan after hearing his blatant threat.
Under normal circumstances, a descendant of a respectable family like Jay would've exploded with anger after being threatened.
However, he prioritized reclaiming his position as heir over such senseless acts of ego and pride.
“Heh... You sure are a funny one, Jonathan. I doubt you guys can bring yourselves to bomb all of Drieso into ashes!”
“You're right. Drieso has a population of over one hundred million, after all. Warblerich, however, is a different story,” Jonathan
replied with a chuckle.
Jay leaped to his feet and clenched his teeth when he heard that.
“Was it Josephine?” he asked while glaring viciously at Jonathan.
A respectable family's ancestral ground is the root of its existence. Two states that are right next to each other could be as
different as day and night. If Jonathan is able to mention Warblerich, then the Osborne family's ancestral ground must have been
exposed somehow. As much as I want to reclaim my position as heir, I would never reveal the location of my family's ancestral
ground. Therefore, whoever exposed it couldn't have been one of us. No member of the Osborne family would cross that line, so
it must've been Josephine! I know about her being in contact with Edenic Heights, but all of her calls are monitored, so she
couldn't have leaked that information without anyone knowing. Where did we go wrong?

“I know the locations of the ancestral grounds of all eight of the respectable families, Jay. Some of the exact locations span up to
a third of a city. In other words, Asura's Office has the ability to pinpoint the location of the respectable families within three days
if we so much as feel like it. Anyway, I believe we've spoken more than enough here. If you want me to help eliminate those two,
then I will get it done. You must have been keeping an eye on them, right? Give me their locations, and I'll take care of them,”
Jonathan said with a nonchalant chuckle while slowly rising to his feet.
Jay stared silently at Jonathan in an attempt to see if he was bluffing, but gave up about ten seconds later.
As much as I hate to admit it, the location of the Osborne family's ancestral ground has been exposed...
Jay slumped weakly against the couch and chugged on the wine in front of him.
“You know Xavion. You two worked together while you were in Remdik. He's on my side. Here's a number that you can contact
him with. Meet up with him, and he will take you to Delisgar Ridge,” Jay said while retrieving a card from his pocket.
Jonathan took it over using his spiritual energy and got ready to leave.
“I hope you will uphold your end of the bargain and keep my wife and child safe.”
Joshua, who was busy running for his life in Delisgar Ridge, had no idea that Jonathan and Jay had just traded him like an
object.
Xavion was lounging in a chair in Moonriver Estate when he received a call on his phone.
He then made his way to the side and activated his force field before answering the call.
There was a smile on his face when he returned moments later.
“Let us end this meeting here, everyone. Something came up at home, so I need to get going now.”
