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.”
James’ face was ashen, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He looked at Maxine and opened his mouth. His words were carried by a feeble voice. “Th-Thank you for saving my life.”
The exertion made James pant. He spat out in an accusatory tone, “Was it the Cadens who burned my family to the ground ten years ago?”
Maxine pressed her lips together in silence.
She was but a young girl ten years ago. How would she have known anything about past events?
All she could recall was her grandfather saying that the Cadens had eliminated some traitors to the family. As for the specifics, she was still very much in the dark about it.
James yelled at her rabidly, “Say something!”
Maxine clenched her jaw and gave him a flat response, “I don’t know. You'll have to ask my grandfather about what happened. Any way you spin it, the fact remains that Thomas wasn't exactly a good guy. He deserved what he got.”
Something had snapped inside of James. “How dare you speak ill of the dead?!"
He tried getting up to refute her claims.
However, he only managed to lose his balance and crashed to the floor. He gasped at the shock and shrieked in pain.
