Chapter 868

“Before I forget...”

Just as she was leaving. Tobias called out to Maxine, “Wait.”

“Is something the matter, grandpa?”

Tobias turned to her. “You are also someone who is highly proficient in martial arts. Feel free to head to the basement if you have nothing better to do.Itll be a great learning opportunity for you as well.”

Maxine kneeled on the ground reverently and said, “I'm not worthy.”

Tobias beckoned her to stand. “I’m giving you express permission to do as you see fit.” “But grandpa... I'm not a real Caden. I don't have Caden blood coursing through my veins The ancestral teachings were specific about “ Iaxine fiddled with the name of her dress

Tobias raised his hand to interrupt her. “What's the point of following rigid and obsolete ancestral teachings? Even if you aren't a Caden by heritage. you were practically raised as a

Caden since childhood. I consider you my own granddaughter. All these years, you've stayed by my side devising plans and strategies for me. Besides, I'm merely allowing you to try your hand at the enigma. Whether or not you learn anything will depend on your own ability.”

“Understood.”

Maxine slowly stood up

Tobias dismissed her. “You're free to go.”

Maxine quickly left for the basement.

After she had left, Tobias stared into the distance and pondered about what Maxine had said earlier.

Maxine’s speculation was not entirely unfounded.

If Thomas was truly still alive, everything would make perfect sense.

“Let's hope that it really isn’t him.”

Tobias muttered darkly

Then, he stood up and left.

In the underground basement...

After taking some time to rest, James was able to think clearly again.

James murmured softly.

He was lost in contemplation

After some time. his thought process was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps.

“It's time for your meal, James.”

A sweet voice called his name

Snapping back to reality, James turned his wheelchair around and saw Maxine walking toward him with his meal

Putting the plates on the floor, Maxine asked curiously, “How is it going? Any new discoveries?”

James looked down and smiled bitterly. “I had a feeling this wasn't going to be an easy task. Otherwise, they'd have figured this out a long time ago.”

“You have a point.”

Maxine nodded thoughtfully and then picked up some utensils. “You must be hungry Here, have some food. It’s hard to work on an empty stomach.”
