Lance dismissed everyone from the room.Only Lance and Tobias were left in the room.He looked at Tobias and said, “What’s the matter? You can talk now.”“Sir, it’s about…”Tobias approached Lance and whispered, “Do you still remember last time…”While speaking, Tobias secretly accumulated his whole body’s True Energy into his palm behind his body.Then, he suddenly thrust his palm into Lance’s chest.Tobias was an eighth-ranked grandmaster.An eighth-ranked grandmaster’s attack containing full strength was destructive.Lance’s whole body curved and was blasted away.Bang!His body slammed into the wall, shattering it.Then, his body continued to fly backward.After smashing through several walls, his body finally fell into the ruins, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.There were many people in the surrounding area.The sudden movements caught their attention, and they immediately drew their swords.“Tobias, you…”He roared furiously.Lance climbed up from the rubbl

“This old man has been controlling everything from behind the scenes for a hundred years. I’ve been dissatisfied with him for a long time.” Sky looked at Lance's lifeless body on the ground.“I’ve already helped you kill him. Where’s the thing you promised?”“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you what belongs to you.” Sky cast a glance at Tobias.“That won’t do. You promised to give it to me immediately after killing him. Are you going to go back on your word?”With a hostile expression, Tobias drew his sword and pointed it at Sky. He said coldly, “Don’t force me to attack you.”Sky said calmly, “Come with me.”Tobias put away his sword and followed Sky.Sky led Tobias to an underground basement in the backyard.There was a mechanism in the secret underground basement. Sky unlocked it and took out a box.He opened up the box, and there was a lump of meat.It was the size of a fist and was stained with blood that had already dried up.Seeing the core, Tobias was ecstatic.Sk

James left the courthouse and returned home.It was already eight in the morning when he reached home.Thea did not sleep the whole night as she was paying attention to the latest news.Fortunately, there were no accidents last night.Seeing James return home, she sighed in relief and quickly inquired, “Honey, did you encounter any problems last night?”“No.”James sat down and said, “It went smoothly. It was so successful to the point where it felt a little abnormal.”Thea looked at James puzzledly.James explained, “Last night, I arrested Graydon, but neither Orient Commerce nor the Gu Sect showed up to stop me. I killed Graydon and detained the chief justice and law enforcers of the courthouse. However, Tobias showed up with members of the Phantom Army in the morning. He said he was not there to stop me but to help me…”James briefly narrated the events.Thea replied with a smile, “Isn’t that a good thing? You can join forces with Orient Commerce and get rid of the Gu Sect

“It’s not just overseas.” Delainey chimed in, “I just received news from my father this morning. Last night, many ancient martial families in Sol were annihilated. The elderly were murdered, while the youngsters disappeared without a trace.” As Thea was the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, she knew about what was going on. Many smaller sects among the ones annihilated had submitted themselves to the Celestial Sect. However, she feigned ignorance. “Are the sources accurate?” Maxine looked at Delainey. Although the Cadens were one of the Ancient Four and possessed great authority in the ancient martial world, she had yet to receive any intelligence on the matter. “Very accurate.” Delainey nodded and said, “The intelligence web of the Mount Thunder Sect is spread all across Sol. That was why I was able to receive information so soon.” Upon hearing this, James’ expression turned grim. It seemed that the Gu Sect made a move last night. However, they acted not in the Capita

Hearing that Tobias had returned to the Cadens’ household, Maxine hurriedly headed back. James followed close behind. Soon, they arrived. Many high-ranking members of the household gathered in the foyer of the Cadens’ residence. Tobias was sitting in the lead, a place reserved for the family head. In the foyer, a crippled elderly man sat in a wheelchair. He was Lorenzo Caden, son of Bennett and father of Tobias and Thomas. Apart from Thea, it was only with his assistance that Maxine managed to secure her position as the family head.Silence filled the foyer.“What’s going on?”A voice came from outside. Then, Maxine walked in with James following close behind.Upon entering the foyer, Maxine saw Tobias, who was sitting in her seat. At that moment, her eyes turned cloudy. It was Tobias who took her in and nurtured her into the person she was today.“T-Tobias…”After momentarily freezing, Maxine’s face darkened, and she said coldly, “You traitor! Why have you returned? That’s

Under the crushing weight of the pressure, everyone struggled to breathe. Only James could resist Tobias’ suffocating aura. Maxine, however, could not withstand the pressure. She could feel her knees giving way. Thump! Unable to resist the pressure any longer, her knees fell to the ground. The impact damaged even the floor. Maxine’s face paled, and sweat beaded on her forehead. She uttered her words with great difficulty, “Wh-What do you think you’re doing, Tobias? Do you think you can subdue us through sheer violence alone? The Cadens will never yield to the likes of you!” “Hmph!” Tobias smirked. “I’m the family head of the Cadens. Why would I subdue my own family? I guess I was wrong about you, Maxine. Though I treated you well, you harmed Grandfather and concocted such a lie while I was in closed-door meditation. You even shifted the blame on me so you could become the family head. Do you admit your sins?” He pointed at Maxine, who was kneeling. “Grand Patriarch Lore

Tobias had the intention to kill. He would eradicate anyone who stood in his way, even his own father. Although he was now slightly deranged, he had yet to lose his rationality. He warned Lorenzo against interfering in the household’s affairs. “I won’t be compromising, I’m afraid.” Lorenzo was not intimidated at all. He sat in his wheelchair and pointed at Maxine, saying, “I named Maxine the family head, hence she’ll be the family head. Tobias, you’ve been expelled from the family. You’re no longer a Caden. Get out of my sight this instant.” “I warned you…” In the blink of an eye, Tobias appeared before Lorenzo. However, at that moment, a figure appeared by the door. Upon seeing the figure, Tobias’ face paled as if he had seen a ghost. Staggering backward, he stammered, “Y-You…! H-How can this be?” Tobias could not believe his eyes. An elderly man slowly walked in. He was none other than Bennett, the person with the greatest authority in the household and an eighth-rank g

Meanwhile, Lorenzo’s wheelchair levitated in the air. Bennett began fighting against Tobias. “Hahaha… What a show!”At that moment, a voice boomed, and an elderly man appeared at the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard.It was Thomas Caden.At that moment, his white hair was gone, and he now looked much more youthful. His looks seemed to have reverted to when he was young.Thomas sat on the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard and watched the battle between Tobias and Bennett, saying, “I thought they would have better behaved now that they’re all grown-up. Why do they have to resort to violence? Can’t they sit down and discuss things in a civilized manner?”“Grandpa!”Upon seeing Thomas, a smile crept up on James’ face. His grandfather was nowhere to be seen all this while. He appeared once when they were in Durandal. However, he hurriedly left after making a brief appearance. “Are you guys still going at it?” Seeing that the battle continued to rage on, Thomas sho
