The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 874

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.

"Mihm."

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?"

"I understand.Stand, my child."

Tobias waved.

Maxine stood up with her head lowered.

"But, what should we do when the other three families show up?"

Tobias knew there was something more to James.He had heard of James’ medical skills.

As they came from a distinct branch of the Cadens? art of medicine, Tobias knew it could not have come from Thomes.

Moreover, James was also able to cultivate True Energy and reach the first rank while being infected by Gu venom.

Maxine said, "Someone is trying to stir conflict among the Ancient Four.By instigating a civil war, the person behind the scenes would be able to reap all the benefits.I believe that the other three families are aware of this as well.The Sullivans and the Lees only combined forces with tre Johnstons after hearing that the Cadens had obtained an item from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid."

Tobias thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Hmm, a reasonable guess."

Maxine continued, "Since we can’t unravel the secret behind the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, we might as well seize the opportunity and ask the other three families to bring their paintings along.

We'll be able to resolve the misunderstanding while also getting a glimpse at all four paintings together."

"A good idea...However, the Johnstons claim that their painting has been stolen.They don’t have it at the moment."
