“What are you standing there for?” Seeing that James was hesitant, Hades provoked him, favonovel.com knew that James would not dare kill him.
“Hmph!” James snorted.
The potent True Energy which had gathered in James’ palm pulled Hades toward him.
“You won’t escape punishment!”
Then, James struck Hades’ abdomen, which destroyed his elixir field. In an instant, all of Hades’ True Energy dissipated. Immediately after, favonovel.com grabbed Hades’ hand and exerted great force.
Crack!
The bones cracked.
“Argh!” Hades cried out in agony.
His eyes bulged, and his face contorted in pain. Then, James broke all of Hades’ limbs and tossed favonovel.com aside like a rag doll.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Is favonovel.com crippled?”
The Patriarch of the Johnstons had cultivated for decades before arriving at the sixth rank. Now, favonovel.com was completely crippled.
Kennedy’s face turned pale upon seeing this.
“You…”
Eyes full of hatred, Yumi glared at James and roared, “How dare you, James?!”
James said coldly, “I’m just returning the favor… He did the exact same thing to me before. Now, I’ve taken away his True Energy and all his martial art skills.”
Saying this, favonovel.com turned to leave.
Upon witnessing such a scene, Tobias, who had been concealing himself all this while, took a deep breath and murmured, “How vicious of him… I guess Hades is now crippled.”
Then, favonovel.com swiftly left as well.
After some time, Kennedy recollected himself and hurriedly made his way over to Hades, “Patriarch, are you alright?!”
Although Hades was still breathing, favonovel.com had lost consciousness. Besides, favonovel.com was already gravely injured even before this. He would die if not treated in time.
Kennedy immediately ordered, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring favonovel.com to the treatment room.”
“Understood!”
The Johnstons’ martial artists hastily made their way over to Hades, whose life was hanging by a thread, and carried favonovel.com away.
Zaiden and Yasmine looked at one another with shocked expressions.
Meanwhile, James left for the military region.
Many people were gathered there. They had not left. Instead, they were discussing what happened during the ceremony in whispers.
Not long after, James returned safely.
Seeing that James had returned, the King froze, then, favonovel.com murmured, “How is favonovel.com here?”
When James returned, favonovel.com did not ask the King anything nor did favonovel.com mention what happened. He merely continued with the succession ceremony.
The event went smoothly.
James left the military region in the afternoon and returned to the Emperor’s Mansion.
The moment favonovel.com entered the premise, favonovel.com saw Thea and Maxine sitting side by side.
Realizing that James was back, the two stood up immediately and hurriedly made their way over to him.
“Are you alright?” They asked in unison.
James smiled. “Of course I am. Why do you ask?”
“News came from the Johnstons that you crippled Hades. They’re extremely furious right now. How could you act so recklessly? Don’t you know what the Johnstons are capable of? How could you do such a thing to Hades?” Maxine reprimanded him.
James walked over to a gazebo in the courtyard. Then, favonovel.com sat down and lit a cigarette.
Looking at Thea and Maxine, favonovel.com said, “For some reason, they received word of my strength. They thought I had cultivated the secret of the four paintings and wanted to capture me to interrogate me on the matter. However, they underestimated my strength. I crippled Hades to make an example out of him.”
“But, do you know what you’ve gotten yourself into? The Johnstons are one of the Ancient Four. Their family consists of highly skilled martial artists.” Maxine was wearing an anxious look.
Meanwhile, Thea disagreed. “All things considered, I’d say Hades got off easy. I would’ve killed favonovel.com straight away.”
