James was firm on leaving, so Tobias did not stop him.
Tobias did not want to offend the great forces and make them his enemies for the sake of James. Still, he had already promised protection in exchange for the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge’s secret.
Now that James had regulated his entire body’s meridians, he could be considered a fifth-rank grandmaster and had limitless potential. Given time, he would only rise up the ranks.
This James was worthy of his protection.
He immediately took out his phone and phoned Hades, the patriarch of the Johnstons.
The call connected, and an unfriendly voice sounded from the phone, “Yo, who do I have here? Isn’t this Mr. Caden? What are you calling me for?”
“Hades, I just wanted to inform you that from now onward, James is part of our family. His business equals the Cadens’ business.”
Saying that, Tobias hung up. He then made a few calls to all the forces in the Capital, giving them the same message.
His attitude was unyielding.
Whoever touched James would be making an enemy out of the Cadens and would suffer the Cadens’ wrath.
James was relieved upon seeing Tobias making the phone calls.
After Tobias was done phoning everyone, he looked at James and reminded him, “Be careful in Cansington. I may have already warned them, but these people are not to be messed with. They’ve been secretly training strong martial artists. If they were to use those artists to ambush you, it’d be difficult for us to trace things.”
“Alright. I’ll be careful.” James nodded.
Tobias sighed. “The Cadens have now turned their backs on the world for you. Don’t disappoint us. We might need you to take charge of our family in the future.”
Tobias fell into thought for a while. Then, he looked at Maxine and ordered, “Maxine, follow and protect him for a while.”
“Ah? Me?” Maxine was taken aback.
She never expected Tobias to give her such a task.
Tobias nodded and said, “Yeah. James' body has recovered, but it hasn’t reached its prime. You’re at least second rank. With you by his side, I’ll be more at ease.”
“Understood. I’ll do as you say.” Maxine dared not disobey Tobias. Moreover, deep down, she was actually happy about the arrangement.
“That’ll be unnecessary, don’t you think?” James frowned.
