“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
Chapter 999
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

“And how many second-rank and first-rank martial artists do you have?” Maxine asked. Thea replied, “I have thirty-six second-ranks and seventy-two first-ranks.” Since James was in mortal peril, Thea told Maxine everything about the God-King Palace. She believed that Maxine was better at devising plans than her. At that moment, she was at a loss. She only knew that she had to rely on Maxine to save James. “Whew!” Maxine took a deep breath and said, “That’s more than enough.” Although she did not know how powerful the Blithes were, she could guess from her grandfather’s dread that they were comparable to the Cadens. Not only that, the Blithe family had someone who could stand against Tobias. “But you said that even Tobias is fearful of the Blithes, and he’s a seventh-rank martial artist. If they intervene, our fourth-rank men stand no chance against them.” Thea was doubtful. Maxine was lost in contemplation. Meanwhile, Cynthia looked at both of them. They fell silent. Aft

Just the appearance alone would not be sufficient. They still needed the Cadens’ signature method─the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. Though Maxine had never read the Thirteen Heavenly Swords’ cultivation method or sword techniques, she had memorized the moves after seeing Tobias practicing them. Now, they had to come up with a contingency plan so that they could prevent the Blithes from making a move on them at critical moments. Besides, time was running out. They had at most two days. Within two days, Thea had to make it look like the real thing. Thea thought long and hard about it. This was the only way to save James. If Maxine could even sacrifice her life to save James, how could she give up so easily? She nodded her head firmly. “I’ll do my best.” “Mhm, you should summon your men from the God-King Palace. I’m afraid you won’t make it in time.” “Got it.” … While Maxine headed to Cansington to discuss matters with Thea, James was brought to the Western Border. The W

As his acupuncture point was struck, he was immobilized. Though he tried bursting the acupuncture point open, he could not no matter how hard he tried. “Damn it!” A vein popped out in his neck as he cursed. “Burst through!” He forcibly gathered True Energy to make a breakthrough at the sealed acupuncture point. Bang! The sound of an explosion could be heard inside his body. James was sent flying several meters into the air. Then, he collapsed on the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood. However, he could not move. Enduring the excruciating pain, he got up from the ground and scanned his surroundings. It was a dark and damp dungeon. He was imprisoned inside a cell with an iron door. Outside, the dim light allowed him to see what was around him. It turned out that there were many others imprisoned in the dungeon. He walked over to the iron door, but it was locked. James pulled at the lock forcefully. Crack! The sound reverberated throughout the silent dungeo
Chapter 1005
“Who are you? Why are you imprisoned here?” James asked as he approached the elderly man whose limbs were chained. He scrutinized him from head to toe. The bearded man’s hair was white and disheveled, and it seemed that he had not had a shower in years. The moment James approached him, he could smell a nasty stench. Looking at the chains on the elderly man, James tried pulling at them. He wanted to break them, but the chains were solid. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break them. “With how weak you are, you might as well give it up.” The elderly man sat on the ground. The moment his body moved, the sound of chains could be heard. He said lazily, “This is made of quartz steel. You can’t break them.” James sat down and looked at the elderly man before him. “Who are you? Why are you imprisoned in the Blithe family’s dungeon?” “Answer my question first.” The man glanced at James. After a brief moment of hesitation, James said, “I’m the commander-in-chief of the Black
