The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 999

Chapter 999

Tobias lifted his leg once more and kicked Maxine with great force.She was once again sent flying toward the wall.

The impact caused the wall to collapse, and she was buried under the rubble.

However, as a martial artist, such an injury was not fatal to her.She crawled out of the rubble with great difficulty.

At that moment, her hair was disheveled, and she was covered in blood all over her body.

She knelt on the ground and did not dare utter a single word.

Tobias took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"James has been taken to the Western border by the Blithe family.Make your own amends.Don’t get the family involved."

Tobias grunted and left.

After he left, Maxine collapsed to the floor.She tried to wipe off the blood trace on her lips.Then, her eyes brimmed with tears.

They flowed down her cheeks.

One could hear the stifled sound of her sobbing from outside.

After a while, she stood up and dragged her injured body to a chair.

Sitting on the chair, she reflected on her life.She had accepted her fate.

Although she was a Caden, she knew she was adopted.

Even now, she still did not know where she came from.

Ever since she could remember, she had been in the Cadens’ mansion.

In public, Tobias treated her with care and concern.

Privately, however, he would abuse her.She had gotten used to such treatment.

After sobbing for some time, she recollected herself.

"I wouldn’t dare blame you, Grandpa."

Wearing a grim expression, Tobias said, "It looks like marriage is no longer possible.The Blithe family has captured James and ordered me to bring you to the Western border to apologize in person.Back then, I gave my word that I would protect James.This is a provocation on their part."

Maxine listened intently.

She remained silent.

"If I took you there, it would mean acquiescing to the Blithe family’s dominance.The Cadens’ prestige which has been carefully maintained for the past centuries would be ruined in my hands.We’ll be made a laughingstock of the world.However, if I chose not to go, James would be in mortal danger.Not only that, but it would also mean having a falling out with the Blithes.By then, we would have another enemy to worry about," Tobias said with an anxious face.

Then, he glanced at Maxine and asked, "What would you do if you were in my position?"

Maxine remained silent.

"James has great potential.He can shoulder the fate of the Cadens.However, I’m unable to ensure his safety at the moment.I’m going to enter a closed-door meditation.I'll only leave when the martial art conference commences.I'll leave James’ fate in your hands.He’ll live if you can convince the Blithes to release him.Otherwise, he’ll die."

Leaving this remark, Tobias stood up and left.
