Chapter 1099
Tobias had had his eyes on the Blithe Fist of Abomination for a very long time.Although he had cultivated Thirteen Heavenly Swords, the signature martial art skill of the Cadens, he was still bitter about losing to the Blithe Fist of Abomination.Now that he knew that James had cultivated this martial art skill, he was tempted to learn it himself. James knew what Tobias was thinking of. How could he impart the Blithe Fist of Abomination to him? “James, from today onward, you’ll be the Minor Patriarch of the Caden family. After the Mount Thunder Conference, I’ll step down from my position as Patriarch for you, assuming that the Cadens are still around.” Tobias was wearing an anxious expression.“The Cadens are now besieged on all sides. Many hope for our destruction. However, as my strength is limited, I can’t protect the entire family. However, if I can cultivate the Blithe Fist of Abomination, I might be able to turn the tides.”James looked at Tobias and said, “I wish I co
Chapter 1100
Although James did not know Bennett’s strength, he knew he was strong. He put his thoughts aside for now. Thea asked, “What do you plan to do now, Darling? The Mount Thunder Conference is just around the corner. Do you plan to use this opportunity to enter closed-door meditation or do you wish to proceed with your plan of executing Mr. Gabriel?”“Let’s not rush things…” Maxine said. “Huh?” James and Thea looked at her. Maxine was deep in contemplation. “I’ve been thinking… I think Mr. Gabriel is the mastermind behind this incident.”James asked, “Why do you say so?”Maxine explained her analysis, “Your strength is confidential. Not many people know about it. Now, all of a sudden, the other three families have received word about it and decided to make a move. The three families do not concern themselves with worldly affairs. There’s no way they would know that your strength has greatly increased nor would they suddenly realize that you were the elderly man on Mount Littler

Thea trusted Thomas. However, Maxine’s words made sense. It was worth a try. James thought about it. His objective was to execute Mr. Gabriel, lure the Gu Sect out, and catch them all in one fell swoop. On the contrary, by cooperating with Mr. Gabriel, he would learn more about the Gu Sect. This was a pretty good deal as well. “Alright, I’ll go visit the Sullivans and the Lees. But I don’t know where their residences are.” “I’ll go as well,” Maxine said, “Grandpa once brought me there. I know the way.” “Mhm,” James agreed. With Maxine showing the way, it would be much less cumbersome. Unwilling to provide them an opportunity to be alone together, Thea hurriedly said, “I’ll go as well, Darling.” “Thea, this is serious business.” “I know. I’m not the Thea from before. As a third-rank martial artist, I’m even stronger than Maxine,” she said and glanced at Maxine. Aware of what Thea was concerned about, Maxine said smilingly, “Sure, why not?” “Let’s go then,” James said

“I understand.” Madelyn nodded. “Alright now, you’re free to go. I haven’t slept well for the past few days, so I’m going to take a nap in my room." Yaroslav stood up. He did not know if he could fall asleep, but apart from taking a nap, there was nothing else he could do. He returned to his room and lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep. It had been many years since he last felt such anxiety. He closed his eyes, and a million thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, as if reminded of something, he jumped off of his bed. A few days ago, Thomas came and told him about James’ strength. He told him that he would certainly die at James’ hands. However, he also said in the end that he could survive if he thought of a way. “Could it be…?” Yaroslav thought of a possibility. Thomas must have been hinting at something. He was reminding him to cooperate with James to survive. Yaroslav would not have thought so if it was anyone else telling him this. However, this wa
Chapter 1103
In the suburbs of the Capital… A convoy stopped at the foot of a hill. Three people got off the convoy. They were James, Thea, and Maxine. James pointed at a courtyard at the foot of the hill and said, “This is the Sullivans’ residence. Let’s get moving.” Then, he walked toward the Sullivans’ residence with Thea and Maxine following close behind. Soon, they arrived at there. Before they even knocked on the door, the door opened, and a twenty-year-old-looking man walked out. He was Skylar Sullivan, a disciple of the Sullivans’ main branch and Maxine’s suitor. Skylar was playing around with a pair of car keys in his hand. Noticing there was someone by the door, he unconsciously lifted his head. Upon seeing James and the others, a shiver ran down his spine. He stumbled back into the courtyard and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Help, James is here!” News of James defeating the Johnstons’ Patriarch had spread. Now, they knew of James’ unrivaled strength. Hearing Skyl

After a brief moment of thought, Zaiden said, “Let’s discuss inside.” Saying that, he glanced at the surrounding Sullivans and ordered, “You’re dismissed.” “Understood.” Then, the Sullivans’ martial artists left. “Please,” Zaiden personally welcomed James in. James did not expect the Patriarch of the Sullivans to acquiesce this easily. He was even prepared to resort to violence if the Sullivans remained tight-lipped. They entered the Sullivans’ mansion. In the living room… A servant served James and the others tea. James looked at Zaiden and said, “I believe it’s time for you to answer my question.” Zaiden remained silent. He stared at James puzzledly and asked, “Before answering your question, I’d like to ask you something.” “Ask away.” Zaiden asked, “Two months ago, you were but an insignificant martial artist. How did you become this strong in such a short amount of time? Did the Cadens steal the paintings from the other three families? Have you unraveled the
Chapter 1105
The three of them were shocked by Zaiden’s words. “Yes…” Zaiden asked, “He’s too strong. If he wasn’t this strong, he wouldn’t have the ambition to conquer the world.” James knew that Yaakov Johnston, Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons, was 160 years old. Even ordinary people could live up to a hundred years if they pay attention to their health, let alone martial artists. If Callan Maverick managed to escape back then, he would only be around 140 years old now. There’s a possibility that he’s still alive. Seventh-rank a hundred years ago at the age of forty? He had to be a genius. Now that a hundred years have passed, he must have made a breakthrough into the eighth rank. Thinking about this, he took a deep breath. Maxine asked, “What else do you know about Mr. Gabriel?” Zaiden shook his head slightly and said, “He’s a mysterious man. The Sullivans know little about him. I only know that he cultivates True Frost Energy, albeit through a flawed cultivation method. This caus

“Madelyn Gabriel,” a voice came. Madelyn knew that she could not simply head over to the Emperor’s Mansion. So, she got her hands on Thea’s number and gave her a call. Hearing this, Thea froze. James asked, “What’s wrong?” Thea whispered, “It’s Madelyn.” Stunned, Maxine furrowed her eyebrows and wondered, “Why would she call at such a time?” Thea switched the call to speaker mode and asked, “Why did you call?” “Is James there?” “No, he’s not. I can deliver your message to him.” “No, I have to speak with James personally.” Thea looked at James. James said, “I’m right here.” Madelyn said, “Let’s not speak over the phone. We should find a secluded place to meet. After all, informants are everywhere in the Capital nowadays. I don’t want anyone to know that I’m meeting you. Send me a message once you’ve decided on the time and place.” Beep… Thea asked, “Why did Madelyn call all of a sudden?” After thinking, Maxine said, “Yaroslav must have been intimidated afte
