The Legendary Man

Chapter 616 The Eight Respectable Families

Given the current state of matters, war could break out between Asura’s Office and the respectable families at any time. As a result, if Jonathan could recruit one of the families as his ally, they would be of tremendous help to him.

Even if the Blackwood family wasn’t willing to help, Jonathan still wanted to know the reason for the decision. Since Lauryn had chosen to side with him, he wanted to know the Blackwood family’s true intentions before deciding what kind of attitude to adopt toward them.

Face with Jonathan’s candor, Lauryn hesitated momentarily. Nevertheless, thinking back to the events that happened in Summerbank Abyss elicited a helpless wry smile from her.

“Jonathan, if it wasn’t for your mind-blowing performance in Summerbank Abyss, you wouldn’t have caught my eye, let alone that of my family.”

After downing the coffee in a single gulp, Lauryn added, “The Blackwood family’s position is simple—they will never submit to Asura’s Office. When I returned home, I tried my best to convince my father to not participate in the actions against you. Unfortunately, he locked me up and wanted to force me to marry Jay. Why can’t he see that I’ve trained so hard just to show him that I’m not weaker than anyone else? I do not need this so-called marriage alliance to prove my worth. However, why does he not recognize all the effort that I’ve put in—”

“You’re digressing!”

Jonathan quickly stopped her when he noticed her veering off-topic.

Upon being interrupted, Lauryn gently shook her head.

“I’m sorry. My emotions got the better of me.”

“It’s fine. I understand.” Jonathan poured Lauryn another cup of coffee. “By the way, who are you supposed to wed for the marriage alliance again?”

Despite Jonathan’s casual tone, Lauryn felt a faint sense of murderous intent from him.

“Jonathan…”

“I’m asking you who it is!” Jonathan repeated his question, his voice icier than before.

There are eight respectable families in Chanaea in total. Other than the Blackwood and Osborne families, the other six are the Henderson, Leeson, Mallory, Gray, Welsh, and Salladay families. All of them are hiding in their respective hideouts. All these while, the respectable families have always fought against each other for a larger piece of Chanaea. Hence, whenever
