Chapter 674


    Chapter 674 Ambitious


    Afterpleting the arrangements made for Asura’s Office, Jonathan opened the website skillfully.


    Jonathan stared at the simple login interface before him. Finally, he keyed in a password after thinking


    for a long moment.


    As the chat boxes popped up one after another, Jonathan deftly tapped on the keyboard. Following


    that, he connected the phone to theputer and called a number. Beep, beep, beep…


    The phone rang thrice before the sound of the call connecting sounded. “Hello? Who’s this?” A slightly


    raspy and weary voice sounded from the other end of the phone line.


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jonathan was silent for a moment before casually speaking. “The


    logistics supply in Horbah has been cut off. Karl is facing off against Medved Army at the moment and


    he simply cannot spare the manpower to rebuild the supplywork. I know you’ve been waiting for my


    phone call. You should make your move now.”


    Inside a mansion in Zedfield, Yaleview, Wilbur nced at the document before him. An old model


    Nokia phone was ced beside him.


    Apart from receiving phone calls, the old phone did not have other functions. Even if someone wanted


    to eavesdrop on the conversations, there was no way to hack.


    Wilbur chuckled as he nced at the document in hand. “Jonathan, the Eastern Army’s backup supply


    line was destroyed. That matter is the concern of Asura’s Office. Perhaps you dialed the wrong number


    when you called Yaleview Army?”


    Jonathan snickered when he heard the voice on the phone. “Wilbur, we both know the reaction of


    Yaleview Army if I really send people to support Doveston. Let’s cut to the chase. Didn’t you keep your


    phone precisely for this day? Although Terrandya and Baridoki can muster up some supplies, it’s simply


    not enough to provide for the consumption of one hundred and sixty thousand people.”

    Jonathan fell silent after he spoke and stared at the phone in his hand.


    “Karl and Eastern Army betrayed Asura’s Office. This cannot be helped,” Wilbur ventured slowly.


    “Jonathan, when we were at the Valley of Elites, you could not bear to cripple the elite warriors who


    fought against us. You even said something about them being crippled for life if you did that. Truly, I do


    not understand why you cannot rid yourself of this softhearted behavior. Can’t you just kill Karl directly


    and take back Eastern Army?”


    Upon hearing that, Jonathan let out a sigh. “I know. Although you pursue power, you will not watch


    Eastern Army being defeated. Just state your conditions.”


    “Hehe…” Wilbur’s chuckle sounded from the phone. “Jonathan, you’re the same as always. You


    haven’t changed at all. Since you let me state the condition, I will tell you. Otherwise, you will be


    worried.”


    Wilbur paused for a moment. “Jonathan, your goal was always to overthrow the monopoly of the eight


    respectable families and to return peace and prosperity to Chanaea. The path you seek is for a great


    cause. I am just an ordinary man and not a noble person like you. What I seek has always been power


    and status. After we join forces for the n, I will help you destroy the eight respectable families. After


    that, you will disband Asura’s Office and never get involved in anything else. How does that sound?”


    Disband Asura’s Office…


    Jonathan stared at the phone without any expression. Even his breathing seemed to have slowed


    down.


    He was aware that Wilbur was not just after the disbandment of Asura’s Office. Thetter nned to


    devour Chanaea’s military power in order to strengthen his position andplete the unification.


    “Wilbur, do you intend to help me y the dragon, only to be the dragon yourself?”


    “Jonathan Goldstein!” Through the phone, Wilbur’s voice suddenly rose. “Do you really think you’re the


    savior? Or do you think that tumors like respectable families can bepletely eradicated after you


    clean them up? Dream on! As long as humans exist, they will eternally be driven by desires and


    interests. There will always be a hierarchy in society.”


    Wilbur continued, “Those respectable families have been passed down for hundreds and thousands of


    years. Even if you destroy them, someone else will take their ce. The Goldstein family is one of the


    prominent families. If it wasn’t for the suppression of respectable families, do you think the Goldsteins


    would have been satisfied to just remain an ordinary family? Or perhaps, Asura’s Office in your grasp


    right now isn’t reigning above society? There will always be someone standing at the top. Why can’t


    that person be me? I understand you and likewise, you also understand where I aming from.


    “At the very least, if I stood at the top, I will not be as rotten and broken as the current respectable


    families. I’ve prepared supplies for Eastern Army that are sufficient for ten days. I’ve also notified the


    army of two hundred thousand to enter Level 1 battle formation. As long as you agree to my terms,


    they will follow the railway line and move into Horbah within half a day. Of course, it doesn’t matter


    even if you don’t agree with my condition. I will clean up Doveston after Eastern Army is taken care of.”


    Wilbur’s blunt words pierced through Jonathan’s heart.


    It was not only in Chanaea but everywhere else in the world. Those respectable families were parasites


    and roaches that could not be killed or exterminated.


    It was as Wilbur said—even if he was not the one, someone else was bound to stand on top of society.


    “I agree to your condition.” Without further ado, Jonathan agreed. “However, I have onest question


    for you.”


    “Shoot.” Wilburughed as he spoke.


    “What is the real reason you’re working with the Saday family?” Jonathan inquired. He did not beat


    around the bush. Wilbur was not only ambitious, but he was also a strategist. Otherwise, he would not


    be able tomand an army of six hundred thousand.


    Someone like Wilbur would not overlook the repercussions of joining hands with a respectable family.


    He must have his own ns.


    Wilbur’s reply was blunt. “Jonathan, everything I do is for the purpose of climbing up. Those


    respectable families are nothing but stepping stones for me to achieve a partnership with you. The


    more chaotic Chanaea bes, the greater my chances are.”


    “Understood.” Upon hearing Wilbur’s reply, Jonathan finally felt relieved.


    Wilbur intended to drag the eight respectable families and Chanaea’s three great military forces down.


    However, as long as it was not in pursuit of power as an underling of respectable families, it did not


    matter.


    The scheme was bound to be revealed someday. Jonathan only hoped that the day would not be too


    far away.


    “Wilbur, send your troops. I will keep my promise.”


    “I knew you’d agree to it. The transport ne has left for Doveston when I received your call. It has


    already entered Terrandya’s territory.” Wilbur chuckled. “By the way, although the two hundred


    thousand troops I’ve transferred are to assist the defense of Doveston along with Eastern Army, I’ve


    ordered them to only listen to your order, not Karl’s.”


    “Do you trust me so much?” Jonathanughed. “Aren’t you afraid that your troops will be cannon


    fodder that I’ll throw into River Onxy? Can you bear with that?”


    Wilbur chuckled again. “If you’re truly so fearsome, Yaleview Army would have been absorbed into


    Asura’s Office.”


    “Then, why not Karl?” Jonathan continued to pry. “He’s good at leading troops. His leadership abilities


    are certainly no weaker than mine.”


    Wilbur sneered. “He’s the same as me. We’re both ambitious!”
