Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 874

Maxine guessed that their failed attempts could be due to James’ lack of True Energy, which was preventing him from cultivating. Therefore, she suggested they continue trying after he made a full recovery.

James agreed.

Maxine left in the morning.

James, on the other hand, remained in the basement.

His body had made a slight recovery, and he could now enter deep meditation, which would speed up his recovery process.

Maxine left the basement with the cutleries.

Upon leaving, she noticed that Tobias was sitting not too far away.

“Grandpa,” She walked over to him and greeted him.

“Mhm.” Tobias nodded slightly and asked, “How’s it going?”

Maxine shook her head. “There isn’t much progress. The Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge is simply too complicated. James is still unable to unravel the mysteries behind the painting.”

“Sigh…” Tobias sighed.

Maxine asked, “What’s wrong, grandpa?”

Tobias said, “The Johnstons have made their move. They’ve combined forces with the other two families to apply pressure on us to hand James over to them. Besides…”

His expression was grim.

“Besides what, grandpa?”

Tobias spoke solemnly, “I just received news from the Johnstons that the Moonlit Bamboos on Cliffside's Edge has been stolen. They were steadfast in their belief that the Cadens were behind the theft and demanded we return the painting.”

“What?” Maxine exclaimed. “The Moonlit Bamboos on Cliffside's Edge has been stolen?”

Tobias stood up and said, “Who knows? We can’t exactly trust the Johnstons.”

He headed toward the courtyard.
