The Legendary Man

Chapter 983 The Request Of The Blackwood Family

Ksana stood by the window, staring at Jonathan in a daze.

“Okay.”

It was just one word, but Jonathan broke into a smile upon hearing it.

Then, he flipped his hand to reveal a black card.

“This black card has a limit of eighty million and can be used globally. It may not be much, but you're pursuing freedom and not luxury anyway. It's enough for you to spend.”

Ksana stood up while leaning on the window for support and reached out to take the black card. With a light wave of her hand, she collected all the blue vials of Holy Blood on the ground.

She gave Jonathan a final glance and didn't say anything else. With a gentle backflip, she disappeared outside the window.

In the mountain resort, three spiritual pressures quickly rushed toward where Ksana had disappeared.

“Let her go,” Jonathan said softly in the direction of the window. Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, his voice traveled into the distance.

Zachary, Hades, and Kane stopped moving and then they landed outside Jonathan's mansion.

“Mr. Goldstein, I said I wanted to challenge you because...”

Kane hesitated for a moment and looked up at Jonathan.

“I know.”

Jonathan nodded slightly as he looked at the three outside the window.

“We've been fighting together for three years. How could I not know what you're thinking? Thank you. Let's go to the conference room and have a meeting.”

When Jonathan arrived at the conference room, Hades and the others had already been waiting for a while.

Apart from the three of them, Rebecca, Donald, and Lauryn were also present in the room.

Edenic Heights was originally just a high-end residential area in Tayhaven, but now it had been transformed into a small military base.

Moreover, because Jonathan had been living here for a long time, to some extent, the entire Edenic Heights had become the second headquarters of Asura's Office.

On the wall in front of the table in the conference room, a row of monitors had all been turned on. In addition to the various Kings of War, there was also Sirius from the Blackwood family, Number 1 from the Dark Special Forces, and Freddie from the Intelligence Unit.

Jonathan entered the room with Jason and Charleigh, and everyone stood up to look at him.

The news that Jonathan's Cor was broken had already been made public within Asura's Office, thanks to Hades' decision.

Although he was a follower of Jonathan, he was also the current person in charge of the entire Asura's Office.

He was loyal to Jonathan, but he also had to be responsible for the whole organization.

As everyone looked at Jonathan, their eyes were filled with worry and urgency.

Jonathan was like the symbol of Asura's Office, and it was because of him that everyone gathered together instead of fighting separately.

Now that Jonathan's Cor was broken, it was akin to losing the core of the soul.

If a symbol had lost its meaning, then it was only a matter of time before it vanished completely.

Jonathan looked at everyone and gave them a military salute. “You've all worked hard during my absence,” he said to the few Kings of War.

The members of Asura's Office might have come from a background of violence, but they had never encountered a large-scale war like in Doveston that required the mobilization of all forces in Chanaea.

While the conflict with Merania was not a full-blown war, Jonathan was very satisfied with the coordinated efforts of Hades and the others.

Under Jonathan's lead, everyone took their seats.

Looking at everyone, Jonathan took a deep breath.

“I'm sure you all already know that my Cor is broken.”

No one had expected that to be Jonathan's first words.

The Eight Kings of War and Karl all looked extremely solemn, while Freddie and Sirius looked shocked, but they didn't say much.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jonathan smiled and spoke again.

“Whether you are a cultivator or a mortal, you may not understand what the destruction of Cor truly means. Simply put, Cor is a belief that one forms after birth, and everything else revolves around it. For example, studying and practicing seems to be built on the foundation of Cor. If Cor is broken, it is like removing the foundation of a tall building. Both the cultivation level and the mind will be severely affected. Although I have not lost myself at the moment, I have a feeling that this kind of destruction will be irreversible. So, from today onward, I will completely retire from Asura's Office.”

Jonathan placed several sets of communication devices on the table as he spoke.

Although Jonathan had previously withdrawn from Asura's Office's direct management due to the departure of the Osborne family, he still had a significant influence on Asura's Office.
