The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1214

The Legendary Man Chapter 1214-Karl, who was standing by, joined the conversation after hearing Zachary’s muttering. “Don’t worry, if the Osborne family only wanted to play mind games with Mr. Goldstein, they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of bringing people to Doveston. They could have simply killed them and made a video. It would have been easier. Furthermore, we’re now in collaboration with Yaleview Army. If it was something dodgy, Wilbur wouldn’t have kept quiet and waited for us. I believe Josephine has returned, but the details of what went down are anyone’s guess.”

Karl’s logical and well-supported analysis brought some relief to Zachary’s mind.

Yet, at the same time, his fellow King of War’s answer also sparked a hint of doubt in his heart. “Zero! I’m curious to see what’s hiding beneath that mask of yours. I’ve overheard how you addressed Mr. Goldstein and Josephine, and it seems like you have a close bond with him. However, despite all the years I’ve spent by his side, he has never mentioned you in my presence. How did you come to know Mr. Goldstein?”

As Zachary spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Karl’s mask, hoping to glean some clues from his expression.

Nonetheless, Karl was no fool, especially since the last battle when someone mentioned finding him familiar. He had already prepared a plausible explanation. “I’ve only known Jonathan for less than half a year. Let’s just say I fell prey to his scheme.”

“Fell prey to his scheme?” Zachary asked, looking bewildered. “Did he ambush you? But if that’s the case, you guys wouldn’t have become friends, right? Why would you still help him manage the Dark Special Forces?”

“Well, the so-called scheme was not a physical combat. It was a challenge we made before engaging in a fight. The loser had to pledge obedience to the winner!” Karl clarified with a smile. “And Mr. Goldstein nearly took my life. He spared me, however, on the condition that I assist him in overseeing all matters related to the Dark Special Forces.”

Upon hearing that, Zachary nodded in agreement. “I believe only Mr. Goldstein would go to such lengths. But don’t worry, joining Asura’s Office was the right decision. Now that you hold a high position and are in charge of collecting intel, you won’t be in danger—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zachary noticed Karl had taken a step forward, leaving him behind. “The Yaleview Army headquarters is just right ahead. Be careful!”

The Yaleview Army’s headquarters was in Sparaville, some eighty miles northwest of Kransbay.

The town was situated in a unique geography, with over a hundred and eighty days of snowfall each year, making it a popular winter tourist destination in Doveston.

Little had people known that hidden amidst the snow-capped mountains lay a colossal underground cavern that had remained sealed for several decades.

For the first time in decades, the underground fortress was finally being reopened.

Inside one of the cozy guest rooms of a farmhouse in Sparaville, a group of individuals sat around a warm hearth, enjoying a meal together.

“You’re… Josephine, right? It’s better to avoid seafood for now, especially during this harsh winter. You need to be cautious about your diet since you’re pregnant,” Wilbur said as he used his spiritual energy to move all the seafood away from Josephine’s side.

He then placed an iron plate before Josephine. “Eat this instead. Garlic mushroom chicken is good for you!”

Wilbur handed a crab to Xavion before expressing his confusion. “I don’t understand. Given the critical situation in Chanaea and the chaos unfolding, the Osborne family could have easily used Josephine as leverage against Jonathan and kept Asura’s Office on edge. Instead, you chose to bring Josephine back. It doesn’t seem to make sense!”

Upon hearing this, Xavion gently placed the freshly cracked crab back on the table. “Jonathan saved my life when I was in Doveston. Despite being from different factions, I am bound to repay his kindness. Betraying him would go against my principles.”

“You have my utmost respect!” Wilbur gave Xavion a thumbs-up and raised his wine glass. “Here’s a toast to you!”

“I’m flattered.” Xavion raised his glass and gulped the wine before wiping his mouth with his hand.

“Wilbur, even though I belong to one of the respectable families, I brought Josephine back because of my personal connection with Jonathan. However, you’re well aware of the grand mission and immense power of Asura’s Office. It poses a threat to the existence of our eight respectable families. Once the situation in Doveston is resolved, the respectable families will inevitably have to confront Asura’s Office. Our goal will be to decapitate the organization without compromising our principles. Therefore, we require the support of the Yaleview Army on the front lines. It is through dismantling Asura’s Office, instilling fear, and dealing significant blows that we can successfully integrate them.”

Upon hearing that, Wilbur paused for a moment, contemplating the idea, before waving his hand dismissively. “No way. This won’t work. The Yaleview Army alone has seventy thousand soldiers, and Asura’s Office has a hundred and sixty thousand. How can we defeat such numbers? Besides, what benefits will I gain from this?”

Xavion extended half of the cracked crab to Wilbur, presenting his argument. “The eight respectable families seek benefits, while you aspire to amass power. It’s a win-win situation for both of us. Isn’t that fantastic?”
