Chapter 889


    Skyler had been pursuing Maxine for some time.


    That was why he always appeared in the Cadens’ mansion every few days.


    Although rtions between the four families were sensitive, the rtions between the younger


    generations had not been affected much.


    Even with the issue of the Johnstons coborating with the Sullivans and the Lees to corner the


    Cadens, Skyler still dropped by the Cadens’ mansion often.


    Skyler red at James.


    Maxine was protecting James, which made him incredibly furious.


    “Brat, if you’re a man, get over here, and let’s have a fair fight.”


    “Ignore him, James,” Maxine whispered.


    James was unwilling to get into conflict with Skyler. He knew Skyler was strong and had cultivated True


    Energy.


    He walked passed Bobby and Skyler, leaving through the gate.


    Skyler swiftly moved and blocked James again. He stretched out his hand and barricaded his path His


    handsome face was full of anger. “Are you scared? If you’re scared, you can crawl out from under me.


    Only then will I let you go.”


    After saying that, Skyler spread his legs.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Skyler, don’t overdo it.” Maxine’s face was gloomy. “Grandpa has given me the order to protect James.


    If you make things difficult for him, I’ll have no choice but to go against you.”


    “Maxine, are you really going to stand against me for a sinner of the Cadens?” Skyler asked sadly. “I’ve


    pursued you for so long. Is this how you’re going to treat me?”


    “Those are two different things. I’m only following orders. If you insist on fighting James, seek


    permission from grandpa. I won’t stop you if he allows it.” Maxine did not want to ruin their rtionship,


    so she deliberately used Tobias to stop Skyler.


    Sure enough, upon hearing Tobias’ name, Skyler immediately lost confidence.


    “Don’t use grandpa to scare me.” Bobby stepped forward.


    “Skyler, you can go ahead and beat him up. If grandpa gets mad, I’ll bear the punishment.”


    Hearing Bobby’s words, Skyler was relieved.


    His face darkened, and he rubbed his fists together. In a swift motion, he raised his hand to grab


    James, intending to lift and m him to the ground.


    However, before Skyler’s hand could even touch James, he was blocked by Maxine.


    Maxine blocked his arm and mmed her palm into his chest. The powerful force made him take a


    step backward. Blood started dripping from the corner of his lips.


    “You, you…” He pointed his finger at Maxine.


    Maxine said coldly. “That was me being merciful. If you continue to trouble him, I won’t go easy on


    you.”


    “Very well, Maxine Just wait!” Bobby threatened.


    Maxine ignored him and turned to James, saying, “Let’s go, James.”


    “Okay.” James nodded.


    They turned and left.


    Bobby shouted, “James, do you think I wouldn’te for you just because you’ve gained grandpa’s


    support? Just wait. I’ll kill you sooner orter.”


    James walked out of the courtyard.


    Outside the Cadens’ mansion…


    Maxine said apologetically, “James, don’t take it to heart.”


    James smiled lightly.


    For ten years, he had never been afraid of anything.


    However, right now, it was true that he was not as strong as the others. Therefore, he had to endure


    their harsh words to save himself some trouble.


    “After cultivating my True Energy, I’ll teach those two ignorant kids a lesson.”


    “Huff,” Maxine sighed and said nothing more.


    After James left the Cadens’ mansion, he headed directly to the military region.


    Ever since he was kidnapped, Henry and the ck Dragon Army had not left and had been patiently


    waiting for him.


    The ck Dragon Army rejoiced upon witnessing James’ safe return. After learning that James had


    returned, Henry quickly ran out of the building and jumped on James, hugging him.


    “Haha! You’re back, James! I thought you died after being captured by the Johnstons.”
