Chapter 1040 Brother
Jonathan relied on spiritual energy to stand on the water.
“Why did you let me go?” Jonathan asked Seboxia.
After several rounds of confrontation, Jonathan no longer believed that Seboxia would be willing to let him return to reality.
Seboxia's hoarse voice slowly sounded from the ancient coffin in the energy field. “I need you to help me steal Emperor's Heart,”
Seboxia's answered without hesitation, “Besides, I once said that as long as you survive the hourglass, I will definitely let you
leave the divine space.”
Jonathan sneered when he heard that but didn't ask any more questions.
He understood that the current Seboxia had already regarded him as a dog.
It didn't matter whether Seboxia kept Jonathan in the divine space or not because he could control his life and death at any time.
Even though Jonathan had found a way to keep Seboxia from dragging him into the divine space, Seboxia's energy could still
annihilate his body in reality.
Jonathan landed on the riverbank after putting on his clothes.
“The theft of Emperor's Heart needs to be postponed. I still have a lot to do now,” Jonathan said indifferently to Seboxia while
putting on new shoes.
When Seboxia heard that, he remained silent, which could be considered as a tacit acceptance of Jonathan's words.
Jonathan and Seboxia's relationship was very peculiar at that time. On one hand, Seboxia controlled Jonathan's life and death
and could threaten Jonathan to do anything he desired.
At the same time, Jonathan's ruthlessness made Seboxia fearful of going overboard.
If Jonathan was cornered and decided to blow himself up with a bunch of bombs, then Seboxia's coffin would truly be his final
resting place.
Jonathan determined the direction while holding the locator.
He'd been washed away by the underground river for over two hundred miles, and he'd long deviated from his original location
and appeared on the border of Chanaea and Remdik.
Jonathan retrieved a phone after putting away the bronze handbell. “Hello, Xavion...”
Xavion, who was on the other end of the line, gasped as soon as Jonathan said that. “What the f*ck! How did you survive?”
Jonathan was at a loss for words in response to Xavion's question. Although Jonathan had no idea what had gotten into Xavion,
he could tell he was pleasantly surprised.
Jonothon relied on spirituol energy to stond on the woter.
“Why did you let me go?” Jonothon osked Seboxio.
After severol rounds of confrontotion, Jonothon no longer believed thot Seboxio would be willing to let him return to reolity.
Seboxio's hoorse voice slowly sounded from the oncient coffin in the energy field. “I need you to help me steol Emperor's Heort,”
Seboxio's onswered without hesitotion, “Besides, I once soid thot os long os you survive the hourgloss, I will definitely let you
leove the divine spoce.”
Jonothon sneered when he heord thot but didn't osk ony more questions.
He understood thot the current Seboxio hod olreody regorded him os o dog.
It didn't motter whether Seboxio kept Jonothon in the divine spoce or not becouse he could control his life ond deoth ot ony time.
Even though Jonothon hod found o woy to keep Seboxio from drogging him into the divine spoce, Seboxio's energy could still
onnihilote his body in reolity.
Jonothon londed on the riverbonk ofter putting on his clothes.
“The theft of Emperor's Heort needs to be postponed. I still hove o lot to do now,” Jonothon soid indifferently to Seboxio while
putting on new shoes.
When Seboxio heord thot, he remoined silent, which could be considered os o tocit occeptonce of Jonothon's words.
Jonothon ond Seboxio's relotionship wos very peculior ot thot time. On one hond, Seboxio controlled Jonothon's life ond deoth
ond could threoten Jonothon to do onything he desired.
At the some time, Jonothon's ruthlessness mode Seboxio feorful of going overboord.
If Jonothon wos cornered ond decided to blow himself up with o bunch of bombs, then Seboxio's coffin would truly be his finol
resting ploce.
Jonothon determined the direction while holding the locotor.
He'd been woshed owoy by the underground river for over two hundred miles, ond he'd long devioted from his originol locotion
ond oppeored on the border of Chonoeo ond Remdik.
Jonothon retrieved o phone ofter putting owoy the bronze hondbell. “Hello, Xovion...”
Xovion, who wos on the other end of the line, gosped os soon os Jonothon soid thot. “Whot the f*ck! How did you survive?”
Jonothon wos ot o loss for words in response to Xovion's question. Although Jonothon hod no ideo whot hod gotten into Xovion,
he could tell he wos pleosontly surprised.
“Uh... I escaped underground!” Jonathan made up an excuse and brushed him off.
On the other end of the line, Xavion said excitedly, “That's true, you could've escaped underground, and you wouldn't die so
easily. How could I have forgotten about that?”
A sudden shriek sounded from the phone after Xavion said that.
Jonathan glanced at the phone in bewilderment. “What are you doing? What's that sound over there?”
“Huh?” Xavion replied with a chuckle, “It's nothing. My family's cleaning up Everett's lineage, so I'm killing people! How dare you
run away... f*ck! Don't scream! I'm on the phone! Can't you just die quietly?” Xavion was cursing on the other end of the line.
Jonathan was rendered speechless by the agonizing howls. Xavion's unreliable appearance seemed to be standing in front of
his eyes. “Um... I called to remind you of Josephine's safety issues. I hope you won't make the same mistakes again.”
On the other end of the line, Xavion paused all of a sudden. “Jonathan, this matter depends on you.”
“What exactly do you mean?” Jonathan said with a frown and a harsh tone in his voice.
He could trust Xavion, but he never trusted people from respectable families.
Jonathan assumed that there were some changes in the Osborne family after hearing what Xavion said.
However, Xavion's explanation made Jonathan breathe a sigh of relief.
“Don't worry. It's not about the family. It's about me,” Xavion said with a smile, “When I saw you being struck by lightning, I spent
the whole day looking for you under the split mountain before leaving. Afterward, I informed the family and confirmed your death.
As a result, Josephine and the child in her belly have lost their value.”
Xavion paused before continuing, “After that, I used myself to forcibly protect Josephine and her child and ensured that they
would not be harmed. However, I have not returned to the family's ancestral land because I am still performing elimination tasks
outside. What I meant to say is that you can't show up until I return to the ancestral land and bring Josephine and her child out. If
the family discovers that you are still alive, they will most likely refuse to let them go. After all, with Everett's lineage gone, the
family desperately needs cultivators in God Realm, and you are the best weapon.”
Jonathan hummed in response to Xavion's words.
Xavion had thought through things thoroughly. This was the best way to prevent Josephine and her child from being hurt.
“Josephine's safety will be handled according to what you've said. I will carefully hide my identity. Besides, I still need to know
Joshua's whereabouts,” Jonathan said calmly.
On the other end of the line, Xavion hesitated for a while. “Jonathan, I may not be able to help you with that. Those who went to
Doveston this time are all Grandmaster Realm cultivators from Everett's lineage. To get rid of them, we have launched a large
scale of cleaning house, and the investigation into Delisgar Ridge has been halted. It's too late for me to bring someone over.
You are the only one who can find it.”
Jonathan realized Xavion was in a difficult situation after hearing what he said. “It's settled then. I'll send you the location of the
safe house in Drieso. If you bring Josephine out of the ancestral land, you can send them to the safe house. Someone will take
over from there.”
“All right,” Xavion agreed without hesitation. “Be careful in Doveston, and beware of the people from the Leeson family. After all,
the other seven respectable families are quite far from them. It is impossible to send Divine Realm cultivators there. However,
the Leeson family is different. If their Divine Realm cultivators wanted to get involved, it would be like a walk in the park.”
The two hung up the phone after Xavion said a few more words.
Jonathan couldn't stand Xavion's all friendly attitude.
The Osborne family and I might not be nemesis, but we are certainly enemies. There would be an inevitable battle with the
Osborne family as long as Asura's Office was not destroyed. Despite that, Xavion considered me to be his friend. This feeling
was a bit strange.
However, Jonathan didn't know that when he saved Xavion several times because of Josephine, Xavion had etched his kind
gestures into his mind.
In fact, Xavion might even make Jonathan his sworn brother if it weren't for the fact that they belonged to opposing forces and
would eventually go to war.
Jonathan put away his phone and began to plan out Joshua's location.
This guy ran to Doveston and even kidnapped someone. What is he up to?
