Maxine looked at James worriedly and gave him a subtle sign.
James loosened his tightly clenched fist.
He took a deep breath and swallowed down his anger.
“Are you sure? Then, why did I hear that the reason my grandpa suffered an Energy Deviation was because someone ambushed him while he was cultivating? Isn’t that the reason why he killed people from the family?”James asked calmly.
“Oh, is that so? I’ve never heard such a thing,” Tobias replied puzzledly.
“Do you really not know? 30 years ago, you must’ve been there when my grandpa’s cultivation base was destroyed, and he was expelled from the family. Did he not refute the decision or try to justify himself?” James looked into Tobias’ eyes and asked.
Tobias simply replied, “I was indeed there when it happened. However, your grandfather didn’t explain himself. He didn’t even utter a word. Following that, he was chased out of the family and thrown out of the Cadens’ gates. His entire side of the family was also expelled along with him.”
“I see.”
James sat having realized some things and said, “If that’s really what happened, then there’s nothing more for me to ask.”
Tobias sighed. “James. I truly never intended to kill your family ten years ago. Despite everything, your grandfather and his family were Cadens. I’m not that cold-blooded. The people working for me misconstrued my orders, and it was too late by the time I realized and rushed over to Cansington.
“I owe you at least this much, so I’m trying my best to make up for it. I even have plans to let you take over my position and become the head of the Cadens in the future.”
James waved his hand dismissively and interrupted Tobias.
“That won’t be necessary. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly on my own. If I find out you’re not telling me the truth, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
“Very well, do what you must,” Tobias replied calmly.
Maxine sensed that there was a strange feeling she got from their conversation and quickly interrupted. “Alright, let’s stop talking about these matters. We should discuss how to solve the Cadens’ next crisis in the upcoming Mount Thunder Conference.”
