Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 981

Maxine froze at his question. After a few seconds, she nodded and replied, “Yeah. Grandpa arranged the marriage.”

James said, “I’ve heard about the Blithes. They used to be a sect that declined into a martial family and almost died down. Fortunately, they had a talented martial artist that revitalized the family. They’ve maintained a low profile all this while, but they’re actually a powerful family and are on par with the Ancient Four. Does this mean that Tobias is trying to win their support during the martial art conference?”

“Yes.” Maxine nodded and said, “The three families are pointing fingers at the Cadens. We’re being besieged and need a strong ally. The Blithes are a good choice, and the means of winning them is marriage.”

James frowned and said, “In this time and age, how are such practices still happening? Why do we sacrifice someone’s happiness for the family’s benefit?”

“I agree.” Maxine looked at James. She pouted and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. What we should worry about is Madelyn.”

Speaking of Madelyn, Maxine’s expression became wary. “I heard she was bringing people to Mount White after you. However, I didn’t manage to find out how many or if they were grandmasters or ordinary people.”

James rubbed his temples.

They were indeed in deep waters.

James looked at the hundred soldiers, and his expression darkened. The last time, dozens of men died while he was trying to acquire the second volume of the medical book.

This time, he did not want any blood to be shed.

“But…” Maxine continued, “Grandpa did mention that Madelyn wouldn’t dare kill you. She’s simply coming to prevent you from bringing back the treasures.”

“Hehehe…” An eerie laughter echoed throughout the forest.

James, Maxine, Blake, Daniel, and all the soldiers stood up simultaneously. They carefully observed their surroundings.

The laughter sounded through the woods and resonated for a long time.

James quickly tried to determine the direction of the source.

However, the sound seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it originated from.

“Since you’re here, show yourself!” James shouted, and his voice echoed.

He stared intently into the distance.
