The Almighty Dragon General Chapter 994

Chapter 994

After all, many martial artists in Sol had reached the fifth rank.

Tobias said, “Although it’s not much, you still stand a chance. Besides, you might even break into the sixth rank if

you work hard.

I believe in you, James. The future of the Cadens is in your hands.”

“I’ll do my best.” James did not dare give his assurance.

He could only do his best to cultivate in the next two months and find a way to reach the fifth rank. That way, not

only would he possess the means of self-defense, but he could even resolve the current crisis of the Cadens.

However, he could not completely trust Tobias.

Though he might look like a compassionate elderly man from the outside, Maxine was afraid of him. It must be

because she knew his true character. Or else, she would not be behaving in such a manner.

“Have you read the martial art manuals I ordered Maxine to bring you?”

“Yes, I have.”

Tobias warned James, “Those are Caden martial arts, off-limits to outsiders. Remember not to show them to anyone

outside of the family.”

“I’ve destroyed the manuals after memorizing them.”

“Good.” Tobias nodded. “Since there’s nothing much for you to do here, you should return to Cansington at once.

Once you reach the fifth rank, you may come back to cultivate the true martial art of the family—the Thirteen

Heavenly Swords.”

“What about Maxine?” James hesitated.

Though he wanted to leave, he was concerned about Maxine. After all, Madelyn had framed her as an unfaithful

woman.

“I ’ll think of a way to explain things to the Blithe family.” Tobias sighed. “I almost did something I’d regret in a fit of

anger. Thank you for stopping me.”

Hearing this, James was relieved.

“Still not leaving?” Tobias glanced at James.

After brief contemplation, James asked, “Are you really going to marry Maxine off to the Blithe family? Do you not

have any other options?”



“What?” Tobias’ expression darkened, and he shot James a look. “I can give up on the idea of marrying her off, but

can you ensure the safety of the Cadens?”

Hearing this, James fell silent. He did not possess the strength to protect the family.

“Get going.” Tobias waved. Then, he stood up and left.

Wearing a grim expression, James sat on a stone armchair in the gazebo. After a while, he stood up and left.

In a room in the Cadens’ courtyard...

Maxine was in a daze after returning to her room.

After a while, Tobias walked in.

Immediately, she knelt before him and apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. It’s all my fault for creating

trouble for the family.”

Tobias walked in and sat on a mahogany chair.

Looking at Maxine, he said coldly, “Maxine, I don’t care about the political marriage with the Blithe family. Do you

know what I’m most concerned about?”

Maxine remained silent.

Tobias continued, “It’s the Blithe Fist of Abomination. I’m confident I can defeat anyone in Sol. However, I’ve spent

twenty years to find a way to counter the Blithe Fist of Abomination, but to no avail.”

Maxine knelt and said in a low voice, “Even if the marriage doesn’t go through, I’ll find a way to sneak into the

Blithe family and steal the Blithe Fist of Abomination. Please give me a chance.”

Tobias stood and helped Maxine up. He patted her back. “I’m glad to hear that. Once I have the Blithe Fist of

Abomination, I will no longer interfere in your personal affairs. You’re free to be with whoever you like.”

Saying that, he left.

After Tobias left, Maxine immediately collapsed on the chair as if all her energy had been sucked out.
