Chapter 1094
“What are you standing there for?”
Seeing that James was hesitant, Hades provoked him. He knew that James would not dare kill him.
“Hmph!”
The potent True Energy which had gathered in James’ palm pulled Hades toward him.
“You won’t escape punishment.”
Then, James struck Hades’ abdomen, which destroyed his elixir field. In an instant, all of Hades’ True
Energy dissipated.
Immediately after, he grabbed Hades’ hand and exerted great force.novelbin
Crack!
The bones cracked.
“Argh!”
Hades cried out in agony. His eyes bulged, and his face contorted in pain.
Then, James broke all of Hades’ limbs and tossed him aside like a rag doll.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Is he crippled?”
The Patriarch of the Johnstons had cultivated for decades before arriving at the sixth rank. Now, he
was completely crippled.
Kennedy’s face turned pale upon seeing this.
“You…” Eyes full of hatred, Yumi glared at James and roared, “How dare you, James?!”
James said coldly, “I’m just returning the favor. He did the exact same thing to me before. Now, I’ve
taken away his True Energy and all his martial art skills.”
Saying this, he turned to leave.
Upon witnessing such a scene, Tobias, who had been concealing himself all this while, took a deep
breath and murmured, “How vicious of him… I guess Hades is now crippled.”
Then, he swiftly left as well.
After some time, Kennedy recollected himself and hurriedly made his way over to Hades, “Patriarch,
are you alright?!”
Although Hades was still breathing, he had lost consciousness.
Besides, he was already gravely injured even before this. He would die if not treated in time.
Kennedy immediately ordered, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring him to the
treatment room.”
“Understood.”
The Johnstons’ martial artists hastily made their way over to Hades, whose life was hanging by a
thread, and carried him away.
Zaiden and Yasmine looked at one another with shocked expressions.
Meanwhile, James left for the military region.
Many people were gathered there.
They had not left. Instead, they were discussing what happened during the ceremony in whispers.
Not long after, James returned safely.
Seeing that James had returned, the King froze. Then, he murmured, “How is he here?”
When James returned, he did not ask the King anything nor did he mention what happened. He merely
continued with the succession ceremony.
The event went smoothly.
James left the military region in the afternoon and returned to the Emperor’s Mansion.
The moment he entered the premise, he saw Thea and Maxine sitting side by side. Realizing that
James was back, the two stood up immediately and hurriedly made their way over to him.
“Are you alright?”
They asked in unison.
James smiled. “Of course I am. Why do you ask?”
“News came from the Johnstons that you crippled Hades. They’re extremely furious right now. How
could you act so recklessly? Don’t you know what the Johnstons are capable of? How could you do
such a thing to Hades?” Maxine reprimanded him.
James walked over to a gazebo in the courtyard. Then, he sat down and lit a cigarette.
Looking at Thea and Maxine, he said, “For some reason, they received word of my strength. They
thought I had cultivated the secret of the four paintings and wanted to capture me to interrogate me on
the matter. However, they underestimated my strength. I crippled Hades to make an example out of
him.”
“But, do you know what you’ve gotten yourself into? The Johnstons are one of the Ancient Four. Their
family consists of highly skilled martial artists.” Maxine was wearing an anxious look.
Meanwhile, Thea disagreed. “All things considered, I’d say Hades got off easy. I would’ve killed him
straight away.”
