Chapter 994
After all, many martial artists in Sol had reached the fifth rank. Tobias said, “Although it’s not much, you still stand a chance. Besides, you might even break into the sixth rank if you work hard. I believe in you, James. The future of the Cadens is in your hands.” “I’ll do my best.” James did not dare give his assurance. He could only do his best to cultivate in the next two months and find a way to reach the fifth rank. That way, not only would he possess the means of self-defense, but he could even resolve the current crisis of the Cadens. However, he could not completely trust Tobias. Though he might look like a compassionate elderly man from the outside, Maxine was afraid of him. It must be because she knew his true character. Or else, she would not be behaving in such a manner. “Have you read the martial art manuals I ordered Maxine to bring you?” “Yes, I have.” Tobias warned James, “Those are Caden martial arts, off-limits to outsiders. Remember not to show the
Chapter 995
James left the Cadens’ mansion. However, he was not in a hurry to return to Cansington. His plan had been foiled by Madelyn. The capital he currently had from Blake was insufficient to stand against Centennial Corporation. He had to pay the King a visit and demand money. Thus, he headed straight to Peace Mansion. A few soldiers were standing guard outside Peace Mansion. The moment James appeared, a soldier walked over to him and saluted, “Greetings, Dragon King.” “Mhm.” James nodded. “I’d like to meet the King.” “He’s not in the Capital at the moment. He’s gone on an overseas business trip.” Hearing this, James frowned and asked, “Is Gloom here?” Puzzled, the soldier asked, “Who’s Gloom?” “Never mind, forget I came by.” James left. As Gloom was the personal bodyguard of the King, few knew of his existence. Even the guards of Peace Mansion had never heard of him. James was at a loss as he had wanted to ask the King for money.He had many ways to procure money vi

Sebastian wore a look of disdain on his face. “He’s just a dog of the Blithe family. It’s all thanks to the family’s support that he’s managed to become the commander-in-chief of the Blithe King army. We can remove him from his position anytime we want.” Hearing this, James fell silent. From the brief conversation, he had a rough idea of where the Blithe King stood in the family. Looking at the courtyard before him, James walked in. At a rest area of the courtyard… A man and a woman were happily chatting away. The woman was about eighteen years of age. She had long hair and fringe that was just at the right length. It accentuated her childlike features. The man was around twenty years of age. He had long hair and was wearing a big, white coat. James recognized the woman. She was Madelyn. He momentarily froze. Then, he walked over to them and took a seat. Looking at Madelyn, James said smilingly, “We meet again, Ms. Gabriel.” Madelyn glanced at him and said, “I didn’

Before James could react, his acupuncture point was struck. Immobilized, he sat on the chair and stared coldly at Flynn, who was in a fit of rage. “What do you think you’re doing, Flynn?” “Hmph!” Flynn grunted. “Take him to the Western border. Tell Tobias to bring Maxine there to apologize in person.” James could feel someone covering his head with a black balaclava. Then, his vision darkened, and he was taken away. Madelyn glanced at Flynn. Seeing that he was still enraged, she tried to calm him down. “There’s no need to get mad over something as trivial as this.” “What do you know?” asked Flynn. He sat down and said coldly, “There hasn’t been a Great Grandmaster in the ancient martial world of Sol for hundreds of years. The martial art conference, which will be held in a few months, will select a new Great Grandmaster. “All these years, the Blithe family has kept a low profile. Now, we plan to make our presence known once again. The best way to do so is to enter into a po

“Get lost.” Flynn said as he got off the convoy. Then, he raised his palm, and energy gushed out. The Cadens’ guards immediately collapsed to the ground. Walking toward the front gate, he kicked it with great force. Slam! The gates opened. “Get your *ss over here, Tobias,” He roared upon entering the courtyard. This attracted the attention of many. In an instant, many core members of the Cadens rushed out. Then, Tobias appeared. He looked at Flynn, who was in the courtyard, and the fully-armed men behind him. “Father.” “Grandfather.” The Cadens greeted Tobias respectfully. Tobias walked over to Flynn and asked smilingly, “What’s wrong, Mr. Blithe? What made you so furious?” Flynn said coldly, “Don’t act innocent, Tobias. Maxine and James’ photographs were leaked. I’m here to tell you that I’ve abducted James to the Western border. My father instructed me to relay you his message: Bring Maxine to the Blithes’ mansion three days later and apologize in person. Or els

Tobias lifted his leg once more and kicked Maxine with great force. She was once again sent flying toward the wall. The impact caused the wall to collapse, and she was buried under the rubble. However, as a martial artist, such an injury was not fatal to her. She crawled out of the rubble with great difficulty. At that moment, her hair was disheveled, and she was covered in blood all over her body. She knelt on the ground and did not dare utter a single word. Tobias took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “James has been taken to the Western border by the Blithe family. Make your own amends. Don’t get the family involved.” Tobias grunted and left. After he left, Maxine collapsed to the floor. She tried to wipe off the blood trace on her lips. Then, her eyes brimmed with tears. They flowed down her cheeks. One could hear the stifled sound of her sobbing from outside.After a while, she stood up and dragged her injured body to a chair. Sitting on the chair, sh

Maxine nibbled her lips. She wanted Tobias to save James. However, she did not dare voice her opinion. After all, Tobias was adamant about not compromising as it would mean forsaking the prestige of the family. Having been provoked by the Blithes, Tobias had now decided to make an enemy of them. His entering into a closed-door meditation was a sign of that. He planned to make a move against the Blithes at the martial art conference. Maxine sat in the courtyard alone. After some time, she got up and left. “Hold it right there.”Before she could leave, Bobby and a few youngsters from the Cadens walked over to her and blocked her path. Maxine lowered her head and said, “Bobby…” “Shut your damn mouth.” Bobby’s face darkened. Then, he grabbed her by the hair and slapped her across the face. Smack! The sound was clear and crisp. Maxine, however, remained silent. Bobby rebuked her, “Look at the trouble you’ve created for the Cadens. Why did you fool around with James when
Chapter 1001
Before Maxine boarded the plane, she called Thea and narrated the chain of events. She told her the whole truth─ starting from James going to Mount White, and how Madelyn framed her for something she did not do. Upon hearing this, Thea’s face darkened. “I’m at the departure lounge and will soon head to Cansington. Once I arrive, we can discuss how best to save James.” “Got it.” Thea hung up the phone. Then, she sat on the ground and contemplated. She had heard from the Blithe King that the Blithes were about to enter a marriage alliance with the Cadens. She also knew that the Blithe family was so strong that even the Cadens were fearful of them. After a brief moment of thinking, she pulled her phone out and called Thomas. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service.” Thea frowned before she remembered that Thomas had told her not to call this number anymore. “What should I do?” She was anxious. Thea stood and hurriedly left the military region without
