Chapter 1049
With Bennett’s guidance, James mastered the First and Second Sword Realm of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. In other words, he had officially entered the sixth rank with this.He was one of the few people who were able to attain such strength at his age.James thanked Bennett profusely.Bennett waved his hand in dismissal and lightly said, “That’s enough. You should go. All I ask is you come visit me whenever you’re free.”James did not say anything else. He turned and left.He had been staying in the backyard of the Cadens' mansion for the past month and had not walked around the front yard at all. Over the past month, he had absolutely no idea about what had happened in the outside world.As soon as he left the backyard and approached the front, he heard people arguing.He looked in the direction of the commotion. A good number of people were gathered outside a room. “Maxine, do you know what you’ve done?!”“You blatantly ignored our family’s rules and broke them. The famil

“This is preposterous!” The elder Caden shouted.His booming voice was deafening. It rocked everyone present as if it were a clap of thunder.Even Maxine was taken aback by his outburst.James glanced at the elder and said calmly, “What do you want?”The elder narrowed his eyes. “In accordance with our family rules, the lightest punishment for those who enter the library without permission is the removal of their cultivation base and the subsequent expulsion from our family. The more severe punishment states that offenders are to be killed on the spot.”“Try to kill her if you dare.” James' expression darkened and he returned the elder’s hateful glare.Maxine pulled James to the side and whispered, “James, just leave me be. I’ve violated the family’s rules by sneaking into the library. Just let them punish me.”“It’s good that you acknowledge your own sins. Since we’re all aware of your crime, I will be the one to abolish your cultivation and expel you from the family.The elde

James pulled Maxine off the ground and left. After they had walked a few meters away, they suddenly heard someone exclaim angrily. James felt a powerful force sweeping toward him. The intensity of the threat raised goosebumps all over his skin.He pushed Maxine away with all his strength and turned around as he raised his hands to confront the threat.Boom!The forces collided and resulted in a loud explosion.Remnants of the forces lingered in the air and caused the nearby Caden disciples to stagger from its sheer potency. Those without True Energy fell to the ground and coughed up blood.James felt the powerful force surge through his palm and into his body. His arm went numb, and he stumbled several meters backward. In addition to that, the Blood Energy in his body bubbled over and caused blood to gush out of his throat. He forced himself to withstand the pain as he swallowed a mouthful of his own blood.Tobias stood firmly on the ground and his eyes shone grimly as he glowe

Maxine followed closely behind James. After the two left, Tobias walked out of the Cadens’ mansion. He stood at the gates watching the figures of James and Maxine gradually disappear from his view.His wrinkled face gradually darkened as he murmured, “When did this kid’s energy get so strong? Even if he had opened his Governor Vessel, Conception Vessel, and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it's impossible for his True Energy to have gained this amount of power in such a short time.”Tobias was confused and could not come up with a plausible explanation for James’ newfound strength. This left him increasingly anxious and restless. After leaving the Cadens’ mansion, James and Maxine found a secluded place to rest for a while. James sat in the lotus position and circulated his True Energy to quell the Blood Energy in his body.While healing his injury, he asked with his eyes still closed, “Did anything happen in the outside world in the time I stayed with the Grand Patriarch?”“Noth

‘The strong dictate the rules of society, huh?’James repeated Maxine’s words in his heart and felt more convinced as he kept telling himself that.He quickly shook his head and chased that temptation away.Turning to Maxine, he asked curiously, “If it were you, would you want to share your man with other women?”“Me?” Maxine was blindsided by his question.She was not expecting James to direct whatever she said back at her.Ever since she was a child, she grew up in the Caden household and as a result, had been exposed to the rules of the ancient martial world from a young age. Everything in her life had been essentially predetermined. She knew that she was basically a tool to form marriage ties with other families in the future. Marriage was not something that she had given a lot of thought to previously.The only thing she had thought about before was that she would marry a highly capable martial artist.As for what kind of person he was or how many women he had, it was no

James closed his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he answered, “Thea.”She was the sole reason he stood here today.In order to save him, Thea ended up burned and disfigured horribly. That made the next ten years of her life a living hell.Because of her sacrifice, he had sworn to protect Thea for the rest of his life.“Is that so? What about your first love, Quincy? She believed you were alive and waited ten years for you.“As for Tiara, you’ll have to take responsibility for that too. After all, she’s with your child.”“...” Hearing this, James froze instantly. He turned around and stared at Maxine as the color drained from his face. “W-What did you say?”Maxine laughed teasingly and said, “Tiara’s pregnant.”“What?!” James exclaimed in disbelief.“She’s pregnant?”“Yeah. Remember how I pretended to be you at Tiara’s engagement ceremony and took her away? She was overjoyed and told me everything. She planned to have the child by herself, but her family forced her to

After Gloom said his piece to James, he left as quickly as he came.Maxine stayed silent until Gloom was completely out of sight. Then, she asked, “Are we still returning to Cansington?”“Yeah.” James nodded.Tiara’s pregnancy was an important matter that he wanted to confirm with his own eyes.If he held it off, James did not think he would be able to sleep soundly at night.Maxine’s eyes crinkled as she smiled knowingly. “Love is a trivial matter. The country’s affairs are much more important. Didn’t you hear Gloom say that you should act quickly and deal with Mr. Gabriel as soon as possible?”James’ lips curved into a frown and he asked, “Then, should we immediately go for Mr. Gabriel? I had planned to get rid of his closest companions first.”“Don’t.”Maxine shut down his idea immediately and said, “Your ultimate target is Mr.Gabriel, not Madelyn. If you eliminate Madelyn first, you’ll end up giving Mr. Gabriel a heads-up. He’ll then be able to take precautions against any

“Huh?”Tiara raised her head and saw Thea. Panic washed over her as she replied hastily, “I-I’m not doing anything in particular.”Thea put her arms on her hips and looked at Tiara arrogantly. Then, she said disdainfully, “Tiara, you shouldn’t think my husband likes you just because you’ve slept with him once. My husband is a national hero, and it’s not unusual that he’d sleep around with women casually. I advise that you don’t pester him. He doesn’t have time for idle chatter”“I-I’m not pestering him! He was the one who asked me to come to Cansington,” Tiara mumbled softly as she looked down.“Hmph.” Thea snorted dismissively at her and left.Tiara clenched her phone tightly and walked inside with her head still lowered.As soon as she entered the villa, Cynthia pulled her aside and whispered in a concerned voice, “What happened? Is Thea harassing you again?”Tiara shook her head gently and said, “No, she didn’t harass me! Cynthia… I was wondering… Should I not have come back?
