Chapter 845 The Unrevivable Flaming Tree

Upon receiving the order, Zachary left with his men, leaving Jonathan and Emmeline to themselves in the living room.

Even though Jonathan fully grasped the information given by Josephine, he chose not to make a move.

Considering the vast intelligence network and the number of soldiers he had, he would have needed at most three days to scout out where the Osborne family had been hiding in Quadfield.

That large-scale search, however, would only serve to tip off the Osborne family.

To top it off, the Osborne family would surely relocate themselves as soon as Jonathan's course of action was exposed. More importantly, Josephine would also be in great danger.

Truth be told, Jonathan could have spread the word of the Osborne family's ancestral land being in Quadfield without actually getting himself involved in the hurdle.

Once the other seven respectable families got ahold of the news, they would definitely assemble to get rid of such a formidable force like the Osborne family, repeating history akin to annihilating the Whitley family bloodline a decade ago.

Sure enough, that would bring about a reduction in the number of respectable families. Still, taking down the Osborne family would mean strengthening the other seven respectable families and increasing their influence just as well.

Should Jonathan be relying on the strength of a third party to have his enemies up against each other's throats, he might be indirectly fostering the emergence of one to three ginormous respectable families in Chanaea.

When that happened, they might even come to terms with one another, not to mention form an affiliation. It would then be difficult for Jonathan to find their weak spot.

In time, it would be the end of the road for Asura's Office.

To prevent that outcome, all eight respectable families had to be obliterated as a whole once and for all.

Vexed, Jonathan leaned against the couch and massaged his forehead.

Seeing how the situation in Chanaea had gotten more and more complicated, he could already feel quite a headache.

Whatever call he was to make, there would be no room for error. It was as though he was treading on thin ice as he faced covetous, hostile forces looking for an opening.

At that very juncture, an image of Leslie from Summerbank popped into Jonathan's head all of a sudden.

From an operation standpoint, there were simply way too many external factors to be considered for every decision he made.

Leslie's cold, insensitive temperament was the answer Asura's Office needed.

Nevertheless, Jonathan had always loathed the way Leslie deploy the soldiers on the battlefield.

In his opinion, his soldiers weighed more than just numbers. As all men were born equal, he would never allow his people to be mere cannon fodder in war.
