“Where did he go?”Bennett was still on the floor when he left the basement.He did not hold back in his attack and hit Bennett’s chest at full force. Bennett was unprepared for the sudden attack and should not have survived the blow.Yet, he seems to have disappeared into thin air.Maxine asked puzzledly, “Grandpa, what’s wrong? What are you looking for?”She noticed the blood on the floor but was unsure what had happened for it to be there. Tobias wore a solemn expression. He was severely injured and did not have enough energy to clean up the mess, so he intended to bring Maxine to dispose of Bennett’s body quietly.There were going to be severe consequences if Bennett escaped and survived.Tobias knew his death was all but certain if Bennett recovered and regained his strength.He had to leave and make his escape as soon as he could.Instead of replying to Maxine, he turned around and hastily left the basement.Tobias frantically walked away and in his rush, reopened mor

Thomas arrived at the Cadens’ mansion with Thea.When Maxine saw them, her face went as white as a sheet.The two of them approached the mansion at a steady pace.Soon, they appeared at the mansion’s gates.Maxine was slightly nervous but still walked forward and greeted them with a forced smile, “Granduncle. Thea. What brings you here?”Thomas glanced at Maxine.Maxine’s heartbeat hastened as soon as she met his eyes.She pretended to be ignorant and asked with a smile, “Granduncle, Thea, why are you two back in the Capital as well? Also, what happened at Mount Thunder Sect, Thea? Why were you emitting such awful energy ?”“I…”Thea lowered her head and parted her lips to speak but could not bring herself to say anything.Thomas did not question Maxine about how she led him astray and asked bluntly, “Is James in the Cadens’ mansion right now?”Maxine nodded and replied, “Ah, yeah. James undergoing treatment in the backyard.”Thomas raised his head and looked at the plaque

Callan was also startled by the sudden occurrence. He quickly raised his hands, shielding his frightened face as he was continuously pushed backward by the force.“This is bad.”Thomas was caught off-guard and frantically mobilized his True Energy to suppress the rioting Blood Energy within Thea’s body.Soon, Thea calmed down.Looking at the devastation she caused, a look of embarrassment crept up on her face.“Sir Caden, this…”Thomas gently waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.”Thea asked, “C-Can James still be saved?”Thomas’ expression became serious again.Maxine got up from the ground and walked over to them. She looked at Thea with shock in her eyes.Callan’s eyes were also locked on Thea.Thomas thought for a while and replied, “His injuries are terrible, and almost all his life forces were severed. I’m unsure whether I can save him, but I’ll have to try.”He was not confident he’d be able to save James this time.Thomas looked at James, raised his hand, and powerf

“Our Grand Patriarch?”According to her conjecture, Bennett had been attacked by Tobias.However, she too was uncertain of his whereabouts.She only had uncertain postulations that she was unable to verify, so she did not dare to tell him.“I-I don’t know. I didn’t see him after returning home.”Thomas did not ask any more questions and returned to the shattered wooden house.He walked over and said, “Thea, bring James back to Cansington to recuperate.”Thea was taken aback and wondered aloud. “Huh? Do you mean right now, Sir Caden? James hasn’t woken up yet. Is it okay for him to be traveling around in this condition?”“Cough, cough.”Suddenly, James, who had been lying motionlessly, weakly coughed a few times.He slowly opened his eyes, and a beautiful face filled his vision.“Thea…”He called out feebly.Seeing James wake up, Thea almost shed tears of joy. “Honey, you’re awake! Thank god, you’re alive. You’re finally awake.”Thea wept joyfully.James attempted to ge

Thomas was an eighth-ranked grandmaster. Naturally, his True Energy was still potent even after he had infused a lot of it into the Crucifer’s needles. In no time, he completed the treatment with Crucifier for James.Soon, James’ entire body was filled with silver needles.These silver needles continuously transferred powerful energy into James, quickly repairing his cells and stabilizing his injuries.A few minutes passed…James said, “That’s enough.”Thomas began to remove the silver needles from James’ acupoints.James put away Crucifier and got out of bed.He stretched his body and said, “I feel much better now.”Thomas and Callan were both shocked by Crucifier’s almost miraculous effect on James.They were both fully aware of the extent of James’ injuries. They were severe enough to cast doubt on the fact that James would be able to pull through this time.A couple of silver needles were all it took to heal him to this point. Thomas looked at James, who was stretching

Maxine’s thoughts occupied her brain.After giving it some consideration, she felt it was necessary to inform James about what had taken place.After all, Bennett could have been ambushed and gone into hiding. What’s more, Thomas could not care less about the Cadens’ affairs.In contrast, James was the only one in the Cadens that could make accurate judgements about the situation.“James.”“Hmm?”James turned around and looked at Maxine. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he asked, “What’s the matter? Did something happen?”Maxine chose her words carefully. “There’s something I must tell you.”“Go ahead.”Maxine explained, “Before you regained consciousness, Grandpa summoned me to the underground basement. Down there, there was a pool of blood on the floor. Grandpa panicked when he saw it and suddenly ran away. I suspect…”She told him everything, what she saw, and her speculations.“What?”James furrowed his brows. “Are you suggesting that Tobias attacked Bennett?”Ma
Chapter 1266
These years, Tobias had overseen everything that had to do with the Cadens.No one had thought about who was next in line as family head after Tobias was gone.“Why? Are none of you competent enough to take charge?” James frowned at the Cadens’ silence and inaction.“I can.” A voice chimed in from a distance.Shortly afterward, a beautiful young woman walked over, pushing a wheelchair. An old man wearing a golden robe was sitting in the wheelchair. His face bore the wrinkles of old age, and he had very long hair. He seemed rather elderly and was dressed like an ancient historical figure.“Sir Lorenzo.”Many people called out and greeted the old man respectfully.Standing aside, Maxine whispered, “James, that’s Bennett’s son and the father of Thomas and Tobias, Lorenzo Caden.”James was shocked.He had been to the Cadens’ mansion a few times in the past but had never once seen this old man before.Not to mention, he was unaware that his great-grandfather was still alive.Lore
Chapter 1267
James looked at the woman pushing the wheelchair but did not pay much attention to her remarks.He truly had no interest in being the family head and would normally not involve himself in the Cadens’ family affairs. He was only here out of respect for Bennett who had personally taught him in the past and even brought him back to heal his injuries.James remained silent and waited patiently for the disciples and other family members to look for Bennett.Lorenzo’s eyes lingered on James with a solemn expression on his old face.Soon, the disciples and family members gradually returned.“I couldn’t find the Grand Patriarch.”“I’ve also searched the entire backyard, but he was nowhere to be seen.”“I tried checking all the surveillance footage in our mansion but wasn’t able to find anything unusual.”James’ lips curved into a deep frown as he listened to the search reports.Everyone else unanimously agreed with Maxine’s speculation on what had happened to Bennett.They believed t
