The Legendary Man

Chapter 653 The Plan

“Old Mr. Osborne…”

Feeling incredulous, Jay widened his eyes in disbelief at Mason. “No, I should be the head of the family! It is my right!” Jay said. “Stop!”

Everett lifted his right hand, and his strong spiritual energy immobilized Jay within his force field. Everett was the most rational man in the Osborne family. As such, even if he was subduing Jay, Mason made no protest and let the latter do as he saw fit.

At the moment, Jay couldn’t move a single muscle or talk. However, there was an unmistakable look of indignance in his bloodshot eyes. Everett let out a sigh.

“Jay, I know that you must think that I’ve snatched your position as the head of the family away from you. However, I want you to think carefully about your grandfather’s intention. If he continues to support you to assume the position, will you be able to repress those who stand against you in doubt? If you can’t subdue them, what do you think will happen to you then?”

Everett did not elaborate further after that.

After all, some words were better left unsaid.

If Everett said nothing else, Mason would turn out to be a man who had the Osborne family’s best priorities at heart by annulling his own line and supporting Everett. Meanwhile, Everett would return the favor by protecting Jay in the future.

However, if Everett chose to put it all out on the table, Mason would become a scheming man who was trying to protect his own bloodline by promoting Everett, who was on his side.

Whether or not Everett chose to put all cards on the table would spell different intentions for everyone involved in the situation.

Fortunately, though Jay was hysterical from losing his position as the head of the family, his sense of rationality was still intact.

Everett’s words made him fall into deep thought.

After a few minutes, Jay slowly blinked his eyes.

Secondly, only Asura’s Office and Karl’s Eastern Army are able to hold off six hundred thousand Yaleview Army. Other Kings of War under Asura’s office, notably Dorian and Zachary, have suffered severe injuries. Even if they were all working together, they’re all but five Grandmaster Realm cultivators. That is nothing up against respectable families like us. As for the army under their command, they’re not powered by high technology, unlike Eastern Army. So, they are no rival against Yaleview Army.
