The Legendary Man

Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Sirius left without any hesitation at all.

Standing behind him, Xavion scoffed, “What a pretentious *ss. He's acting as if everyone owes him money.”

Being a man of integrity, Sirius was sincere in wanting to help Karl save the child, but the latter stopped him from doing it.

Jonathan couldn't intervene at this time, so he could only direct his gaze at Karl.

“Mr. Goldstein...”

There was a hint of apology in Karl's eyes as he looked back at Jonathan.

“This is your own issue, so make the choice on your own.”

Jonathan stepped back and stood beside Xavion.

Meanwhile, Karl turned to Stellario, Winston, and Kathleen.

“I, Karl Hamilton, swear on my cultivation that Eastern Army will be at your disposal as long as you ensure Killian's safety. If I break my promise, I'll die a horrible death.”

Right after Karl said that, his face flushed red. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which dissipated into the air.

Swearing on one's cultivation was a kind of vow unique to cultivators.

Since cultivators absorbed energy from the heavens and earth, their vows were unlike that of ordinary people. If they broke their promises, they would actually get punished.

As such, cultivators with higher cultivation levels were normally more taciturn.

Some people may accuse them of being pretentious after rising in ranks, but they were actually keeping quiet to avoid getting themselves into trouble.

When the trio heard such a dangerous vow from Karl, they were stunned.

Although Karl bet his own life on it so resolutely, he did not specify what he meant by wanting them to ensure Killian's safety.

Even if the three of them did nothing about the parasite and the blood curses on Killian, it wouldn't be considered an act of hurting the boy.

Kathleen looked at Stellario and then at Winston. She let go of Killian, allowing him to be carried back to Karl by her spiritual energy.

“Remember what you said. Otherwise, we can take Killian's life anytime,” Stellario warned Karl calmly.

Turning around, he leaped forward and landed in a spot twenty meters away.

Kathleen and Winston followed suit, and the three figures soon disappeared into the forest.

“They're probably going after Sirius,” Xavion remarked with an amused chuckle.

Seeing Xavion's reaction, Jonathan sighed helplessly. “Does the Osborne family have no other God Realm cultivators? Why did they make a chatterbox like you come?”

Then, Jonathan walked over to Karl and felt Killian's forehead. It was burning hot.

“It's not a big deal. Just heal him with spiritual energy and let him rest for a few days, and he'll be fine.”

Karl nodded tearfully. As he looked at Killian, guilt and regret were written all over his face.

With a soft wave of his hand, Jonathan used his spiritual energy to carry the unconscious Layla to his side.

“It's time we conclude our trip here. We've got to settle our scores once we return to Doveston.”

Naturally, Jonathan was referring to the issue regarding Northern Crimson Prison.

Just like what he had said before, there was no room for negotiation in the matter concerning Mysonna.

Although Jonathan personally knew Karl, the latter had to die for what he did to Asura's Office.

With a sigh, Xavion approached Jonathan.

“Jonathan, I suggest you leave Karl alone in the meantime.”

“This is about Asura's Office. I don't think the Osborne family has a say in this,” Jonathan retorted with a frown.

Currently, Karl was being used by the Henderson family, the Leeson family, and the Mallory family, who had formed an alliance.

If Jonathan killed Karl, he would be eliminating the useful aide of the three families.

This should be good news to the five respectable families including the Osborne family, so it wouldn't make sense for them to object to the idea.

However, Xavion was staring at Jonathan with furrowed brows at the moment.

The former uttered, “I know what you mean, but thanks to this Prince of Diyouli whom you crowned, things between the eight respectable families have become overly complicated. No one knows how strong the alliance between the Hendersons, the Leesons, and the Mallorys is, but there is no way the other five families will join hands with each other.”

As Xavion spoke, he looked extremely worried.
