The Legendary Man

Chapter 996 Caleb Gray
“I don't think so!” Sirius shot Stellario a cold look and added, “I don't understand. The Mallory family has plenty of cultivators.
Why did they send a childish snob like you? Now, in Chanaea, there are plenty of things that require the eight families to gather.
We're all the representatives of respectable families. You're only stirring the pot with that temper of yours.”
While listening to Sirius talk, Stellario had already crossed his fingers on his left hand and got ready to cast spells. “F*ck you!
How dare you! I'm going to—”
“Stellario!” Before Stellario could finish his sentence, Winston, who was sitting next to Stellario, stood up and held Stellario down
by the shoulder.
Stellario turned toward Winston and asked, “What are you doing? Are you helping them take me down?”
Kathleen was sitting next to Winston, and she was wearing a mink dress. With a smile, she said, “Winston isn't taking you down.
He's asking you to calm yourself down. Come here, Stellario. Let me hug you. Keep in mind what we're here for today. There are
three thousand people on the bounty list, and one life is worth a million. That's three billion. Do you want the Mallory family to go
extinct?”
Stellario looked at Kathleen's red lips and swept everyone else a glance before abandoning his intention to kill and slumping into
his chair unhesitatingly. “The Mallory family isn't as cold-blooded as the rest of you. All members of the Mallory family are equal.”
Meanwhile, there was a strong man sitting next to Sirius.
That man was Cody Welsh, the fourth elder of the Welsh family.
During the incident in Remdik, the only person from the eight respectable families that died was Morris of the Welsh family.
Hence, the Welsh family had a different representative this time around, and that was Cody.
Cody let out a cold snort and looked at Stellario, Kathleen, and Winston disdainfully. “It seems like the Mallory family, the
Henderson family, and the Leeson family are really a close-knit pack! I wonder if the Leeson family has told you guys about the
leads they found in Delisgar Ridge.”
Cody was very blunt with his words, and as soon as those words fell, everyone shifted their attention toward Winston.

There were a total of four matters that concerned all eight respectable families at the same time.
They were all concerned with the war between Chanaea and Remdik, Asura's Office's situation, and the members of their
auxiliary bloodlines getting assassinated.
The fourth was an issue that Jonathan had nothing to do with, and that was the fact that Joshua Whitley had appeared in
Delisgar Ridge.
Joshua, who held the Whitley family's secret treasure, was a common target of the eight respectable families.
Prior to that, the Leeson family found Joshua, but they lost him.
In order to avenge those disciples, the Leeson family told the rest of the seven respectable families about the incident.
At that moment, there were at least eight God Realm cultivators and over two hundred Grandmaster Realm cultivators searching
in Delisgar Ridge.
However, none of them could find any traces of Joshua.
After all, Delisgar Ridge was the largest primeval forest in Doveston. Even for a few hundred people, searching for Joshua was
like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Yet, according to the analysis done by the other families, they were certain that Joshua had a specific reason for entering
Delisgar Ridge.
Otherwise, he could've easily gone to Adrune if he wanted to flee.
That way, the eight respectable families wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
In other words, something was keeping Joshua in Delisgar Ridge.
The Leeson family was from Doveston, so only they would know what was keeping Joshua there.
Eva, who was sitting opposite Winston, was playing with a jade piece carved in the shape of a beast in her hand.
The Salladay family was the strongest family among the eight respectable families. Without even lifting her head, Eva said,
“Winston, don't tell us you don't know anything about it. The Leeson family has been in Doveston for more than one thousand

and five hundred years. Delisgar Ridge had always been the Leeson family's backyard. Basically, you guys know the place like
the back of your hand. Shouldn't you tell us why Joshua went to Delisgar Ridge?”
With his hands in his pockets, Winston glanced at Eva and responded, “None of you would believe me, right? Why don't you
guys send more people to Delisgar Ridge? Once you guys have captured Joshua, you should help the Leeson family by asking
him what he's doing there!”
Everyone present scoffed when they heard what Winston said. Well, Winston is definitely hiding something.
At the same time, Winston didn't see the point in explaining himself. There's no way I can explain it thoroughly.
In fact, when Quintus told the eight respectable families about it, he was hoping that everyone could help find out why did Joshua
enter Delisgar Ridge.
Whatever it was, it had to be something of incredible value. After all, Joshua was willing to risk getting hunted down by the eight
respectable families.
Right when silence ensued, Eva suddenly turned toward the entrance of Moonriver Estate.
Less than a second later, everyone sensed something as well, and they quickly followed suit.
They were all sitting in the garden of the inner courtyard of Moonriver Estate, and there was a small door around thirty meters
away from them.
There, everyone saw a young man with glasses and a backpack walking through the door.
“Uh... Excuse me. Are you guys the representatives of the seven respectable families? I'm Caleb Gray of the Gray family,” the
young man said.
When the representatives of the seven respectable families saw how bubbly Caleb was, they were stumped.
“Ha! The representative of the Gray family is as handsome as I am!” Stellario rose to his feet and laughed.
Hearing that, Eva scoffed coldly. “Oh, please. That young man is bubbly while you're a thug.”
“Exactly!” Kathleen chimed in. “Come here, Little Caleb! Sit with me! If you don't like sitting on chairs, you may sit on my lap!”

Winston couldn't help turning toward Kathleen upon hearing that. Although our families are now in an alliance, I still have trouble
accepting her attitude.
With that in mind, Winston looked away after murmuring to himself, “What a flirty woman.”
Caleb was acting as though he were a newcomer in the class. Although that was his first time meeting those seven people, he
didn't feel uneasy at all.
He gave everyone present a nod before sitting in the empty seat.
When Kathleen saw that Caleb was sitting next to her, she reached out her hand to tap on Caleb's shoulder. “Little Caleb, do you
have a girlfriend—”
A cold glint flashed across Caleb's eyes, and he suddenly whipped out a dagger and went for Kathleen's neck.
In response, Kathleen leaned backward and sent a kick toward Caleb's groin.
Caleb then leaped into the air and aimed his dagger at Kathleen's heart.
