The Legendary Man

Chapter 645 Teaming Up
“What?” Harvey and Graeme both leaped to their feet in unison. “Say that again!” Graeme shouted at the guard. He got so
worked up that his spiritual energy went out of control, causing the furniture around him to start breaking. That showed just how
shocked Graeme was.
“There’s trouble in Yaleview... Eva from the Salladay family has teamed up with Wilbur to assassinate Joshua. His cultivation
level is revealed to be in the middle phase of God Realm, and he has gone missing after making an escape. His fate is currently
unknown.”
Harvey activated his force field to suppress the outburst of Graeme’s spiritual energy. Any higher and Graeme’s spiritual energy
would probably start hurting Colton and the others.
“Did you find out anything else?” Harvey asked the guard coldly. “That was the only information we received from Yaleview.
Because of the urgent nature of the situation, I’ve come over to report it as quickly as possible,” the guard replied respectfully.

“Have all our spies in the country get to work! We must locate Joshua at all costs!” “Understood!” The guard then turned around
and left the room. Harvey walked up to Graeme and said, “Calm down, Father.”
Graeme lowered his spiritual energy levels after hearing that, but the look in his eyes remained icy-cold as he exclaimed, “I can’t
believe Herman Whitley managed to slip right through our fingers!”
Harvey got a little worried when he heard that. Herman was the patriarch of the Whitley family two generations ago. He had
managed to escape the assault from the eight families.
Back when the Whitley family was in its prime, even Graeme had had to address Herman politely whenever he saw him. Harvey
led Graeme to the side and sat him down on the couch.
“According to the rules of the respectable families, children around the age of five who are found to be suitable for cultivation
need to be sent to their ancestral grounds, where they will be trained and screened. Joshua is currently a Divine Realm
cultivator, so he must’ve been well-trained before the Whitley family got annihilated. Looks like this is Herman’s last-ditch effort to
protect the family,” he said with a sigh.

Colton and Zidane stared wide-eyed at Harvey in shock after hearing that. Being the heirs of a respectable family, they had
never experienced conflict in life, let alone heard about it.
After all, a respectable family like theirs couldn’t possibly have survived all those years without being incredibly powerful and
independent.
Those who even remotely tried to hurt them would likely end up dead. However, everything changed when Joshua’s cultivation
level was revealed. It was over ten years ago when the eight respectable families had teamed up to annihilate the Whitley family.
Not wanting to give the Whitley family a chance to retaliate, they acted swiftly and suddenly. That was how they caught the
Whitley family by surprise and managed to wipe it out.
Following the annihilation of the Whitley family, the eight respectable families proceeded to massacre all of its remaining family
members and relatives, including the distant ones.
When did Herman plan this? No one has ever heard of Joshua. Did Herman start the preparations for the Whitley family’s
backup plan right after Joshua was born? That was thirty years ago! If that really is the case, then Herman is a lot more terrifying
than we imagined.
Graeme let out a sigh as he glanced at Zidane and Colton.
“Someday, you two will be the ones managing the Blackwood family, so I don’t mind letting you two in on some of its secrets. You
two are well aware that the eight respectable families are looking for a certain something that belongs to the Whitley family,
right?”
Colton and Zidane nodded in unison. The Blackwood family wasn’t the only one looking for it. All the other respectable families
had kept at it as well. However, no one knew what they were actually looking for.
“It’s a storage magical item. After the eight respectable families destroyed the Whitley family’s ancestral grounds and looted their
treasures, they realized the most important ones were nowhere to be found.”
Harvey nodded slightly in response. “The three magical items are Troop Summoner, Formation Crusher, and Hailstorm
Fan.” “Those are magical items listed on the Supreme Arsenal!” Zidane exclaimed.
Harvey let out a sigh as he continued, “The functions of those three magical items are as their names would suggest. The Troop
Summoner is capable of summoning soldiers, the Formation Crusher can be used to destroy formations, and the Hailstorm Fan
can conjure up thunderstorms as well as formations.

All three of those magical items are extremely powerful, but no one has seen them ever since the Whitley family got annihilated.
We used to assume the other respectable families had found the magical items and were hiding them from everyone else. But
now that Joshua’s cultivation level has been exposed, it is highly possible that the magical items are with him.”
Colton, who was standing at the side, furrowed his brows when he heard that.
“Uncle Harvey, Joshua has been concealing his cultivation level while ruling over Yaleview. Now that Wilbur has exposed his
cultivation level, Joshua will be targeted by all the respectable families. We need to catch him now, or it’ll be a lot more difficult in
the future.”
Harvey nodded in response. “That’s not all. The fact that Herman has Joshua as a backup plan suggests he might have several
others.”
As everyone in the room fell silent, Graeme said solemnly, “Even if Herman has made such arrangements, I doubt he’d expect
Joshua to pull off such a brilliant and sneaky move. He went from being humiliated by the heirs of respectable families to the
commander-in-chief.
Had he not chosen Wilbur, Joshua would probably have made Yaleview Army his own private armed force. If the Whitley family
has identified the locations of the eight respectable families’ ancestral grounds, Joshua could destroy them all simply by
bombarding them from afar. Oh, and let’s not forget about the Salladay family.
The fact that they only sent Eva to help Wilbur with the assassination is proof that they don’t know Joshua’s background at all.
Otherwise, they’d have surely sent all of their most powerful elders after Joshua just to ensure his death.”
The look in Harvey’s eyes grew solemn after he heard Graeme’s words. “Father, are you saying the Salladay family’s original
goal was simply to team up with Wilbur to compete for power?”
Graeme slowly stood up and replied, “It’s highly possible. The Salladay family is the most powerful out of the eight respectable
families, and yet, they’re still trying to gain more power. I imagine they’ll soon end up sharing the Whitley family’s fate. With the
exception of sects and respectable families, there are only a few God Realm cultivators in Chanaea.
Jonathan from Asura’s Office, Wilbur from Yaleview Army, Karl from Eastern Army, and Joshua, who is currently on the run. Now
that the Salladay family has teamed up with Wilbur, the other respectable families are bound to team up with the others as well.”
A glint flitted across Graeme’s eyes as he added, ”Find a way to contact Lauryn. Tell her to sort out her relationship with
Jonathan and to refrain from coming home. As for you, Harvey, you are to contact Pentonius and have him return at once. I want

him to meet up with Karl before the other respectable families do!”
