Chapter 1496


    Before James could ask Thomas any questions, he was gone without a trace.


    After Thomas left, Bet walked over to James and looked where Thomas had just been while murmuring silently, “He has


    grown even stronger now.”


    Bet was an eighth-rank grandmaster. Despite using his full strength, Thomas easily deflected his attack. He found it hard to


    imagine just how strong Thomas currently was.


    “It seems that the rumors are true. Thomas got the most out of the Spirit Turtle.”


    James shrugged.


    He really was speechless when it came to his grandfather who would briefly show himself before leaving in a hurry.


    “Thank goodness for Thomas.” Maxine sighed. “If not for him arriving in the nick of time, the Cadens’ residence would’ve been


    wiped off the map.”


    James looked at Bet and asked, “Are you alright, Grand Patriarch?”


    Bet waved his hand slightly and said, “My Blood Energy churned a little just now. But, | should be fine. | just need a little


    rest.”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Maxine began ordering the Cadens to clean up the battlefield and reconstruct the damaged buildings. The turmoil at the Cadens


    hade to an end for the time being.


    However, as the Cadens were the leader of the Ancient Four, they were the target of many spies and informants. Soon, news of


    the disturbance spread.


    “Have you heard? Tobias has returned to the Cadens.”


    “Yes, | have. Reliable sources said that over two months ago, he ambushed Bet and seized his Spirit Turtle’s core. Since he


    showed up at the Cadens’ out of the blue, Bet had no choice but to reveal himself. The two brandished their swords and


    fought with all their might. | heard that the Cadens’ residence was utterly destroyed and is now in the process of reconstruction.”


    “| even heard that Thomas appeared and deflected the attacks of both Tobias and Bet, two eighth-rank grandmasters. Tobias


    hurriedly escaped because he was afraid of defeat. Otherwise, the Capital would’ve been utterly destroyed had they gone all-


    out.”


    Rumors of the battle began spreading, with each more exaggerated than the next. News of Tobias ambushing Bet and


    Thomas’ appearance spread all across the Capital.


    “| heard that Thomas has crossed into the ninth rank. That would make him the first to do so in a millennium.”


    “He’s insanely powerful. As | live near the Cadens, | saw him blocking Tobias and Bet''s attacks by himself with my own eyes.


    Not only was hepletely unscathed, but he even sent the two flying.”


    The news spread like wildfire.


    Meanwhile, seeing that everything was alright at the Cadens’, James breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to Bet,


    he returned home.


    Upon arriving home, Thea asked, “What happened, Darling?”


    James narrated the chain of events that unfolded.


    “What?”


    Stunned, Thea eximed, “Is Sir Caden that powerful? Did he seriously block the attacks of two people and force them back?”


    “Yes.”


    James still could not believe his eyes. There was no way he would have aplished such a feat.
