The Legendary Man

Chapter 1009 Extremely Ruthless

Jonathan inhaled sharply in response to Xavion's utterances.

“You people from respectable families are so inhumane. What you're saying is that anyone who wants to be in power has to take advantage of others, and they must keep seizing resources if they wish to protect their immediate family. If they lose in the family's feud, death would be the only outcome awaiting them. Is that what you're saying?”

Munching on the sweet potato, Xavion frowned and pondered before nodding. “I guess you could say that. There's an important precondition to internal strife in respectable families, though. No matter what tricks we use on our family members, we must not harm the interests of the family. If someone breaks the rule, they will be obliterated no matter how powerful they are.”

Jonathan bobbed his head.

That rule was easy to understand. The same applied to the Goldstein family, too.

Respectable families allowed internal strife that was on a reasonable level because they wanted to use the method to pick a more scheming leader.

Although the outcome was a little cruel for the losers, having someone like the winner lead the family could help them advance further.

It was a choice that benefited the entire family.

However, Jonathan had his doubts.

“If they're not allowed to harm the interests of the family, then what about Jay promising to save Josephine when all's done? Doesn't that count?”

Meanwhile, Xavion was leaning lazily against the chair after finishing two sweet potatoes in succession.
