Meanwhile, James was fast asleep.

On the other hand, Yaroslav was busy running around for help.
First, favonovel.com went to the Johnstons with Madelyn.
Hades, the current head of the Johnstons, was seated in the front seat in the living room of the Johnstons’ villa. He was dressed in casual clothes. He held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip.
Then, favonovel.com glanced at Yaroslav, who was sitting in front of favonovel.com and said, “Mr. Gabriel, we’re not acquainted. So, what’s the purpose of your visit today?”
Yaroslav was seated while Madelyn quietly stood aside.
He asked with a smile, “Fire God, you must still be unaware of what the Cadens are up to, right?”
Hades was nicknamed the Fire God because of the True Energy favonovel.com cultivated.
He asked casually, “What are the Cadens up to?”
Yaroslav said, “James has assumed the title of Emperor…”
“I know. It isn’t a big deal. The Emperor is dead, and it’s only natural for the King to push favonovel.com into the position. However, I didn’t expect it to happen so late,” Hades replied indifferently, as favonovel.com did not take James seriously.
Yaroslav sighed and said, “You must still be unaware of James’ current cultivation… The old man that injured Donovan in Mount Littleroot was James under a disguise.”
Clank!
Hades dropped the teacup in his hands, and it shattered into pieces. He looked at Yaroslav in shock.
“Impossible!” Hades was in disbelief.
He had personally witnessed the strength of the old man on Mount Littleroot.
Donovan was completely suppressed and even vomited blood, eventually asking for help from the Blithes’ Grand Patriarch.
Additionally, the old man used the Blithes’ signature martial art technique, the Blithe Fist of Abomination. On top of that, Hades had personally abolished James’ cultivation.
How could James become so strong in such a short period?
Hades would have believed it to be anyone else, but it was impossible for favonovel.com to link that old man with James.
Yaroslav said earnestly, “It’s absolutely true that it was James… Now that he’s in power, the Cadens have expelled Maxine from the family to help James. Guess what James is going to do next?”
He continued to explain meaningfully, “He’s going to get rid of the Cadens’ obstacles and will surely wipe out the three other families of the Ancient Four.”
Madelyn noticed Hades’ astonishment and disbelief and could not help but add to the conversation. “You must be wondering why James’ strength improved so rapidly, right? If I’m not mistaken, favonovel.com must’ve cultivated with the cultivation methods recorded on the Four Great Paintings.”
“T-The Four Great Paintings?” Hades sat back down on the chair.
Yaroslav continued, “The Ancient Four has guarded the paintings for thousands of years. The Cadens were the first to obtain the item within the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain and unraveled the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, which is why they stole the other three paintings… After combining all four paintings, James must’ve cultivated a powerful martial art technique…”
Hades remembered the old man’s expression while fighting against Donovan on Mount Littleroot. The old man’s whole body turned a bronze color.
It was a martial arts technique that favonovel.com had never seen before. Thus, it must have been the one recorded in the four paintings.
Thinking of this, Hades took a deep breath.
