Chapter 1086


    "The Johnstons, Sullivans, and Lees? They have death wishes!"


    With a grim face, Tobias roared furiously.He stood up angrily but then quickly sat down again.


    Tobias knew he could not act impulsively.


    James was overpowering and the strongest among the Cadens’ youngsters.


    There was a possibility he would surpass Tobias in a few more years.


    Despite his promising future, Tobias had no confidence in saving James from the three families.


    If he were to stand up for him now, the Ancien Four would fight to the death.


    Tobias hurried to the backyard.


    Tobias stood outside the wooden house and shouted, "Grandpa, it’s me, Tobias.I wish to see you right


    now."


    Creak! The wooden house door opened.


    An old man that radiated an unearthly aura walked out with his hands behind his back.


    He looked at Tobias and asked, "You look flustered.Did something happen?"


    "James was appointed the Emperor, and the session ceremony will be held today.However, I got


    the news that the Johnstons, Sullivans, and Lees think that James stole the Four Great Paintings,


    which is why his strength improved so rapidly.They n to capture him in the Red me Army base to


    interrogate him about the paintings’ secrets."


    Tobias exined the situation.иσν???вσσк.￠σмHe was unsure of what to do, so he sought Bet’s


    advice.


    Bet frowned and said, "What are the other three families trying to do? Do they really think the


    Cadens stole their family paintings?"


    "Grandpa..."


    Tobias hesitated to speak.


    Bet scolded, "Don’t hesitate and say whatever you need to."


    "Yes, Grandpa!"


    Tobias shared his suspicion.


    "Is it possible that Thomas stole the three paintings and taught James the cultivation method recorded


    on the four paintings?"


    "Nonsense.How is that possible?" Bet replied coldly.


    "Then, how did James be so powerful in such a short time? I''ve always suspected that Thomas is


    still alive and must’ve stolen the other three family’s paintings.He wants to frame our family to take


    revenge on us for expelling him thirty years ago and also for the ident that caused his family to be


    burned to death in Cansington."


    Bet denied the thought.


    "If I say it’s not, then it’s not."


    "I-I must be worrying too much.What should we do now, Grandpa? Should we save James or not? If


    we don’t save him, our family will lose a powerhouse.If we save him, we’ll have to fight the three other


    families till the end.It’s not even the Mount Thunder Conference yet."Bet also fell into thought.


    The other three families were on par with the Cadens, so their strength was unquestionable.


    There were also a few Grand Patriarchs in the other three families.


    If he were to interfere, the others would join in the fight.


    As a result, they would reach a point of no return.


    However, James was a good seedling, and Bet did not want to watch James fall into the hands of


    the other families.


    Bet was also worried.


    After a while, he asked, "Who are the people trying to capture James?"


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Tobias shook his head and said, "I don’t know yet.The King’s guard came to inform me about it.I


    couldn’t decide on my own whether the Cadens should engage in a fight with the other three families."


    Bet sighed and said, "No matter who’s the thief that stole the paintings, we won''t be able to exin


    ourselves anymore.Even if we don’t fight with them now, we will still fight to the death in the Mount


    Thunder Conference.That kid, James, learns very fast.He’s the future of the Cadens, and we have to


    save him no matter what."


    "Alright.I understand."


    Tobias nodded.


    Bet ordered, "Head to the Red me Army base immediately and observe things in secret.Don’t


    make a move unless you absolutely have to.Against any one of the families alone, we''ll have absolute


    victory.However, we''ll have no chance if we fight against the three of them simultaneously."


    "Okay, I understand."


    Tobias did not linger much longer and quickly turned to leave.иσν???вσσк.￠σмBet, who was left


    behind, raised his head and looked at the sky with great sadness.


    "I’m afraid the Capital is about to undergo a reshuffle."


    He turned around and went back into the wooden house.


    The Mount Thunder Conference was less than a month away.


    He could care less about worldly affairs, but he must interfere this time.


    Otherwise, the Cadens would be destroyed.


    Once he appeared, the other three Grand Patriarchs would definitely show up too.


    He had no confidence in winning a one-on- three battle and would need to reach the eighth rank in less


    than a month.
