Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 864

Tobias gave James a once over before letting out a pleased huff. “Not bad, your complexion’s improved.”

James’ eyes bored into the elderly man before him.

Technically, Tobias was James’ grand-uncle.

However, he was the farthest thing from family to James whose anger at the events from ten years still burned furiously in his chest.

Ignoring the hateful gaze directed at him, Tobias addressed James, “I’m sure you’ve already heard from Maxinne that they’ll seek to destabilize the situation by killing you. Unfortunately, the Cadens can no longer afford to protect you.”

Never taking his eyes off Tobias, James said coldly, “I don’t need the Cadens’ protection.”

“Oho…?”

Tobias exclaimed in amusement. His lips twitched into something resembling a smile. “You’re courageous, I’ll give you that. However, in your current condition, you don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell against them. Even if you had no injuries and were in peak condition, you’ll still get crushed with extreme ease if you faced them. You’re merely a first-rank practitioner at the end of the day.

“...But, seeing as you’re a Caden, it would be inappropriate for me as the patriarch of the family to simply stick my head in the sand and leave you to your fate.”

James looked at Tobias, unsure of what he was about to say.

Tobias snapped his fingers. “Take him to the basement.”

“Understood.”

Maxine nodded.

Tobias whirled around and walked out of the room.

Meanwhile, Maxine helped James onto a wheelchair and wheeled him out.

James figeted in his seat. “Why the basement?”

Maxine turned to him with a knowing glint in her eyes. “You’re in luck, James. Although, whether or not you receive the knowledge is up to you.”

James pursed his lips together. Nothing is making any sense.

“What do you mean?”

Maxine looked ahead as she continued explaining to James, “You should have seen the items contained in the box unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid. Perhaps you have also heard that these items are the key to unravelling the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge. Many have gazed their upon the painting itself, but only you, grandpa, and our great-grandfather are know about the contents of the box.”

James stared at Maxine dumbly.
