Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 860

The events at the Johnstons had also reached the ears of Mr. Gabriel.

Mr. Gabriel now knew with surety the God-King Palace was affiliated with the Cadens and that Maxine Caden was the one who demanded James’ release.

Mr. Gabriel had a similar plan to Mr. Lee’s. He also planned to visit the Cadens and discern Tobias Caden’s thoughts on the recent events.

At the Cadens…

Tobias had left the room after using his True Energy to treat James’ injuries.

Not long after, James slowly regained consciousness.

The moment he woke up, all he could feel was excruciating pain throughout his body.

He felt as if his heart had been pierced by a thousand swords. James’ face was twisted into an agonized grimace as he tried to bear the pain.

To make matters worse, the Gu venom within his body was actively moving around. He was keenly able to feel the sensation of numerous bugs squirming around his body and slowly eating away at him from the inside.

“Argh…”

His body throbbed and his skin became slick with sweat.

Creak…

The door opened quietly.

A young lady in a white dress with long curly black hair walked in.

She was holding a bowl of medicine in her hands.

“I see you’re finally awake”

James glanced sideways and saw Maxine’s face.

Upon seeing her, James remembered that it was her who saved him from the Johnstons.

He tried getting up. However, he found that he could not exert any strength at all. Even the smallest movement sent excruciating pain coursing through his body.

Maxine walked over to a chair beside the bed and gently caressed James’ hand. “You’re gravely injured. You need to rest.”
