The Legendary Man

Chapter 569 Suspicions

Lauryn did not answer him, but she moved away from him warily with her sword in her hand. When Jonathan set up Asura’s Office, his aim was to stabilize Chanaea. After he achieved that, he stopped the expansion of the organization.

By that time, all the respectable families had also recovered from the setback they had suffered ten years ago during the Whitley family incident. They were once again ready to fight for power.

However, the situation had changed. Instead of fighting with each other for territories as they did a decade ago, they were targeting Asura’s Office in the latest round of their power grab games.

Other than Yaleview, the rest of Chanaea was under the control of Asura’s Office. As such, whoever took over Asura’s Office would gain control over the majority of Chanaea. That was the reason the Osborne family began to pick on Jonathan and became his arch-enemy.

Although the rest of the respectable families had not gotten involved in the battle for Asura’s Office, it was an unspoken understanding among the families that controlling Asura’s Office would be their ultimate aim.

The rest were merely waiting by the side, hoping others would go on to weaken Asura’s Office first before they step in to take advantage of the chaos.

They all knew if they had Asura’s Office under their control, their family would be more powerful than the exterminated Whitley family. They would rise above the other respectable families.

The family behind Asura’s Office would be the de facto ruler of Chanaea and, without a doubt, the ultimate winner in the power game.

Jonathan, as the founder of Asura’s Office, had no choice but to accept the reality that confrontations between Asura’s Office and the respectable families were unavoidable.

Since the establishment of Asura’s Office, they had been laying the foundation of a new Chanaea, one whereby there was no monopoly.

They didn’t mean the monopoly of the market in a commercial sense. They were against the monopoly of power. Asura’s Office wanted to build a Chanaea whereby the common Chanaean had a say in their country. Power should not rest in the hands of those respectable families.

Although Lauryn was a descendant of a respectable family, she had to admit that, in a way, the demise of respectable families would be for the good of the general public.

With that thought in mind, Lauryn instinctively bore with the pain from her injuries and backed off from Jonathan. “I don’t know if it was you, but be forewarned that I will not hesitate to fight back if you come near me.”

With the talisman in her hand, she slowly retreated backward until she was around the mountain. As soon as she was certain Jonathan could not see her, she immediately turned around and fled.
