Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 1096

Now, however, three families of the Ancient Four had lost their closely guarded paintings.

“Has he unraveled the mystery behind the paintings? Could it be that the paintings contain records of martial art skills that enable us to reach the ninth rank?”

Yaakov’s expression was grim. He did not dare act recklessly. After all, he should have been long dead. All this while, he had been sustaining his life through the consumption of medicine.

If his True Energy leaked while he was in the midst of a battle, he would die in a few months. If chose to retain his True Energy, he could live for a few more years.

“We shouldn’t act recklessly.” After brief contemplation, he ordered, “We’ll wait and see for now. I’ll go to the Cadens’ mansion personally.”

Although the Johnstons were dissatisfied with the Grand Patriarch’s decision, they remained silent and nodded respectfully.

Yaakov stood up. Under the watchful gaze of the Johnstons, he dragged his old body with the help of a cane and left the foyer.

James arrived at the Cadens’.

Seeing that James had arrived, the guards of the Cadens’ mansion immediately moved aside.

The Cadens were in the midst of a meeting, discussing how best to resolve the matter.

At that moment, a Caden disciple ran in and cried out, “Patriarch, James is here.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and looked at the door.

James, who was in casual attire, walked in.

Seeing them, he momentarily froze before saying with a smile, “Are you guys in the middle of a discussion? I guess I came at the wrong time.”

“Dismissed.” Tobias immediately ordered, “You’re all free to go.”

“Understood.”

As the Cadens were leaving, they could not help but get a glimpse of James.

Did he really cripple Hades and take away his martial art skills?

They could not help but wonder.

Even now, they were still doubtful.

James took a seat.

Wearing an expressionless face, Tobias looked at him and said coldly, “Grandfather ordered me to save you. By the time I arrived, you were already in the middle of a battle with Hades. I didn’t expect you to become so powerful in such a short amount of time. In just two short months, not even Hades stands a chance against you.”

Tobias nodded and said, “I can’t think of any way for a martial artist to grow so strong in such a short amount of time. Your grandfather, Thomas, must have imparted the martial art skills of the four paintings to you. Thomas was behind the theft of the paintings, wasn’t he?”

“Ha!” James smiled.

He had come here to question Tobias. However, it seemed that Tobias had the wrong perception too.

“Why are you laughing? Is this not the truth?”

“No, it isn’t,” James said with a determined look.

“Then, how did you become so strong?”

“You don’t need to know that. I came here today to ask you to investigate the information leak. I have only demonstrated my strength in the Cadens’ mansion. It must be a Caden or a spy from the other three families.”

“I understand. I’ll see to it.” Tobias nodded.

James turned to leave.

The moment he stepped out of the front door, a figure came charging toward him. Before he could react, he was sent flying into the Cadens’ foyer.
