Chapter 1012


    James did not wish to concern himself with other issues at the moment.


    Meanwhile, Flynn swiftly made his way up the mountain too.


    On the second floor of a vi at the mountaintop...


    A few guards were kneeling.


    "Trash!"


    Enraged, Donovan rebuked them, "You still can’t find James after so many days? How am I supposed


    to threaten Tobias without him? How am I supposed to intimidate the crowd if I can’t execute him in


    public?"


    "Sir, the one who broke into the dungeon was extremely powerful.He defeated all the guards at the


    entrance and saved James with ease," one of the guards said.


    "Get lost, you trash!" Donovan cursed.


    At that moment, Flynn walked in and greeted him respectfully, "Father."


    ncing at Flynn, Donovan asked, "Are the guests all here?"

    Flynn replied, "Most of them have arrived.Unfortunately, Tobias hasn’t yet.By the way, a powerful old


    man appeared at the foot of the mountain.Since he has no invitation card, he tried forcing his way


    in.When we tried to stop him, a fight broke out..."


    He narrated the chain of events that took ce.


    "Is he that strong? What does he look like?" Donovan asked.


    After thinking for a moment, Flynn replied, "He was wearing an ancient-looking suit.He’s about sixty


    years ago, long hair, bearded ...By the way, he seems to be someone infamous from sixty years


    ago.He said that he would have annihted the Blithe family if he’s the person he was sixty years ago."


    Hearing this, Donovan fell silent.


    Aman from sixty years ago? He had never heard of this.


    After thinking about it, he waved his hand, "I understand.You’re free to go."


    "Understood."


    Flynn nodded and left.


    In another vi...


    Ancient martial artists from all over Sol gathered here.


    There were around 500 of them.


    Though they concealed themselves from the public and rarely interacted with the outside world, they


    were acquainted with one another.


    Now that they met, they were happily conversing with one another.


    In a garden outside the vi, a few young maidens were having a stroll.


    In the lead was Diney of the Mount Thunder Sect.


    "Youngdy, why do you think the Blithes invited us to Mount Littleroot?" one of her servants asked.


    Diney momentarily froze before saying, "Before we left, my father told me about the dynamics


    outside.He emphasized the grudge between the Cadens and the Blithes.He spected that the Blithes’


    initial objective was to enter into a marriage alliance with the Cadens.Now that the n has failed, the


    Blithes intend to use this opportunity to show the world who''s boss.They want the world to know that


    the Cadens, the leader of the Ancient Four, is nothing in their eyes."


    "Then, will Tobias be here with Maxine to apologize in person?"


    Diney shook her head slightly and said, "I don’t know, but we’ll find out soon.After all, today’s the


    deadline the Blithes gave the Cadens.Maybe Tobias wille.However, if he doesn’t show up, it would


    mean that the Cadens and the Blithes would officially be enemies.A war could break out."


    They conversed.


    Meanwhile, James blended into the crowd.He walked around but could not find anyone he knew.


    The rest, on the other hand, were waiting for Tobias to arrive.


    However, by noon, he had yet to show himself.


    Just as everyone was getting impatient, a woman walked over to the entrance at the foot of Mount


    Littleroot.


    The woman was about twenty-five years of age.


    Wearing a blue dress, she had long curly hair.


    Looking at Mount Littleroot before her, she was wearing a grim expression.


    "Maxine Caden has arrived!"
