“Haha… I don’t think so. Didn’t the Grand Patriarch say that he beat Tobias to a pulp twenty years ago?”
The men who were looking for James were chit-chatting.
Meanwhile, a man was concealing himself on the top of a huge rock. It was James.
Hearing their words, he frowned.
It seemed that Madelyn’s plan to sow discord between the Cadens and the Blithes went smoothly. Now, both of the families had a falling out.
“I have to leave this place at once.”
James catalyzed True Energy and glided in the air like a bat. This time, he made sure to restrict the flow of True Energy to avoid making unnecessary noises.
Although many people were searching for him, no one found him. Sneaking his way through the passageway, he arrived at the exit safely. However, the place was guarded by the Blithes’ disciples.
James frowned. Then, he raised his hand, and powerful energy gushed forward to his fingertip.
Whoosh!
The energy struck their acupuncture points, which rendered them unconscious. James seized the opportunity and dashed out of the dungeon, but it was also heavily guarded outside.
“Who’s there?”
He was spotted.
Before the Blithes could react, they immediately collapsed to the ground.
James knew that there were highly skilled martial artists in the Blithe family, so he hastily retreated. Soon, he left Mount Littleroot and arrived at Western Littleroot City.
In a hotel room in the city…
James had just finished showering. Leaning on a chair, he reflected on everything that had happened.
From the Blithes’ conversation, he was now aware that the Cadens had a falling out with them and that Tobias was ordered to bring Maxine here to apologize in person.
He figured that the Blithes intended to use his life to threaten the Cadens, but he had now escaped. The Blithes had lost leverage over the Cadens.
James was contemplating whether he should call the Cadens and inform them of his situation. However, he decided against it. This was the perfect opportunity to have a glimpse of Tobias’ true nature.
