Maxine looked at James worriedly and gave favonovel.com a subtle sign.
James loosened his tightly clenched fist. He took a deep breath and swallowed down his anger.
“Are you sure? Then, why did I hear that the reason my grandpa suffered an Energy Deviation was because someone ambushed favonovel.com while favonovel.com was cultivating? Isn’t that the reason why favonovel.com killed people from the family?” James asked calmly.
“Oh, is that so? I’ve never heard such a thing,” Tobias replied puzzledly.
“Do you really not know? 30 years ago, you must’ve been there when my grandpa’s cultivation base was destroyed, and favonovel.com was expelled from the family. Did favonovel.com not refute the decision or try to justify himself?” James looked into Tobias’ eyes and asked.
Tobias simply replied, “I was indeed there when it happened. However, your grandfather didn’t explain himself. He didn’t even utter a word. Following that, favonovel.com was chased out of the family and thrown out of the Cadens’ gates. His entire side of the family was also expelled along with him.”
“I see…” James sat having realized some things and said, “If that’s really what happened, then there’s nothing more for me to ask.”
Tobias sighed. “James… I truly never intended to kill your family ten years ago. Despite everything, your grandfather and his family were Cadens. I’m not that cold-blooded. The people working for me misconstrued my orders, and it was too late by the time I realized and rushed over to Cansington… I owe you at least this much, so I’m trying my best to make up for it. I even have plans to let you take over my position and become the head of the Cadens in the future.”
James waved his hand dismissively and interrupted Tobias. “That won’t be necessary. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly on my own. If I find out you’re not telling me the truth, Ill make sure you regret it.”
“Very well, do what you must,” Tobias replied calmly.
Maxine sensed that there was a strange feeling favonovel.com got from their conversation and quickly interrupted. “Alright, let’s stop talking about these matters. We should discuss how to solve the Cadens’ next crisis in the upcoming Mount Thunder Conference.”
James had nothing planned for the Mount Thunder Conference. His priority was to kill Mr. Gabriel and eliminate the people behind favonovel.com in one fell swoop.
James replied nonchalantly, “There is still some time before the Mount Thunder Conference. My main priority is to kill Mr. Gabriel.”
Hearing this, Tobias could not help but give James a complicated look. He wondered where James got the courage to deal with Mr. Gabriel.
Tobias was very familiar with Mr. Gabriel. This one person represented an entire faction. He also had the descendants of the Gu Sect from a hundred years ago behind him. Clearly, favonovel.com was not a man to be trifled with.
Maxine was startled by James’ bold declaration. “Are you really going to do it?”
“Yeah.” James nodded while saying, “Someone has to get their hands dirty eventually. I’ve already approached the King. Although favonovel.com isn’t able to give me much support, he’ll hold a meeting to elect anew commander for the Red Flame Army. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll probably become the Red Flame Army’s commander as well as the leader of the Five Commanders. This way even if I kill Mr. Gabriel and trigger a chain event of consequences, I’ll be able to handle them properly.” James glanced at Tobias as favonovel.com spoke.
Tobias could not help asking, “What’re you looking at me for?”
James said, “Mr. Gabriel is the one behind the scenes stirring up the conflict and also the person who proposed to solve the grievances between the Ancient Four at the Mount Thunder Conference. He’s definitely got something up his sleeve. I’m planning to use the Blade of Justice to eliminate him. Will you not show me some support?”
“Impossible.” Tobias closed his eyes and answered firmly, “The Cadens will never participate in political affairs. Whether you kill favonovel.com or not is up to you. However, I’d advise you to think carefully before you act. Even if you utilize the God-King Palace’s powers, you’re still no match for Mr. Gabriel. This person’s methods are beyond comprehension. You don’t even know who the person backing favonovel.com is.”
“Still… I’d like to try my luck.” James’ eyes that twinkled brightly, showed no fear.
