Chapter 997


    Before James could react, his acupuncture point was struck.


    Immobilized, he sat on the chair and stared coldly at Flynn, who was in a fit of rage. “What do you think


    you''re doing, Flynn?”


    “Hmph!” Flynn grunted. “Take him to the Western border. Tell Tobias to bring Maxine there to apologize


    in person.”


    James could feel someone covering his head with a ck bva. Then, his vision darkened, and he


    was taken away.


    Madelyn nced at Flynn. Seeing that he was still enraged, she tried to calm him down. “There’s no


    need to get mad over something as trivial as this.”


    “What do you know?” asked Flynn. He sat down and said coldly, “ There hasn''t been a Great


    Grandmaster in the ancient martial world of Sol for hundreds of years. The martial art conference,


    which will be held in a few months, will select a new Great Grandmaster.


    “All these years, the Blithe family has kept a low profile. Now, we n to make our presence known


    once again. The best way to do so is to enter into a political marriage with the Cadens and dominate


    Sol. Now, however, with all this fiasco, what are we supposed to do? Even if the Blithe family bes


    the number one family in Sol, we''ll be theughingstock of the world! ”


    The ancient martial families valued reputation more than anything else.


    The political marriage was now but an afterthought. James and


    Maxine had to pay with their lives. Not only that, Flynn even wanted Tobias to apologize to him in


    person.


    Madelyn asked, “I see... But, since the Blithe family’s n to ally with the Cadens has failed, what will


    you do now?”


    Flynn replied, “I’ve already consulted my father about this. He ordered me to take James to the


    Western border and instructed


    Tobias to bring Maxine to me and apologize in person. At the same time, he''ll invite the circle to the


    Western border for them to witness Tobias apologizing to us in front of everyone. Consider this as a


    tactic to proim oureback to the world."


    Wearing a delighted expression, Madelyn stood up and congratted Flynn, “Allow me to congratte


    the Blithe family’s domination of Sol in advance. I’m sure you''ll be the most powerful man in the


    world.”


    Madelyn’s ttery made Flynn feel a lot better.


    He hade to the Capital for the marriage. Beforeing, he had seen what Maxine looked like in a


    photo. She was indeed a wless beauty worthy of marriage into the Blithe family.


    However, his good mood was ruined by James and Maxine.


    “Thank you, Ms. Gabriel, for informing me of this. Otherwise, we''d still be kept in the dark We might


    even be theughingstock of the ancient martial world. As I’m busy, I''ll have to leave now. Allow


    me to treat you to a meal in the future.” Flynn turned to leave.


    Then, he went straight to the Cadens’.


    Meanwhile, Madelyn walked toward the opposite room and opened the door.


    There was a firece in the room, and a man was warming his hands with the mes.


    “Mr. Gabriel.” Madelyn walked over to him and greeted him respectfully.


    “How did it go?” Mr. Gabriel asked.


    Madelyn replied, “The Blithe family is enraged. They captured James and brought him to the Western


    border. They even ordered


    Tobias to bring Maxine to the Blithes’ mansion to apologize in person. Also, many ancient martial artists


    will be invited to witness the scene.”


    Upon hearing this, Mr. Gabriel’s face darkened. “The Blithes intend to proim theireback to the


    world.”


    “Yes,” Madelyn said. “Ambitious and power-hungry, they’re determined to obtain the position of the


    Great Grandmaster in the martial art conference. Not only that, they aren''t afraid of anyone, not even


    the Cadens. Now that their reputation is at stake, they won''t hesitate to turn against the Cadens.”


    “You''ve done well, Madelyn. Return to Cansington to manage the situation.”


    “Understood.” Madelyn nodded and left.


    “The Blithe family...” Mr. Gabriel stood up and muttered under his breath. “Don’t disappoint me... I’m


    expecting you to tear this apart.”


    Then, he left.


    At the same time...


    After Flynn left, he headed straight to the Cadens’.


    Soon, he arrived outside the Cadens’ courtyard.


    “Who''s there?”

    Seeing the convoys stopped in front of the gate and the fully- armed men that were pouring out of the


    convoys, the guards of the Cadens’ mansion were rmed.
