Chapter 1496
Before James could ask Thomas any questions, he was gone without a trace.
After Thomas left, Bennett walked over to James and looked where Thomas had just been while murmuring silently, “He hasgrown even stronger now.”
Bennett was an eighth-rank grandmaster. Despite using his full strength, Thomas easily deflected his attack. He found it hard toimagine 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 beenwiped off the map.”
James looked at Bennett and asked, “Are you alright, Grand Patriarch?”
Bennett waved his hand slightly and said, “My Blood Energy churned a little just now. But, | should be fine. | just need a littlerest.”
Maxine began ordering the Cadens to clean up the battlefield and reconstruct the damaged buildings. The turmoil at the Cadenshad come 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 ofthe disturbance spread.
“Have you heard? Tobias has returned to the Cadens.”
“Yes, | have. Reliable sources said that over two months ago, he ambushed Bennett and seized his Spirit Turtle’s core. Since heshowed up at the Cadens’ out of the blue, Bennett had no choice but to reveal himself. The two brandished their swords andfought 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 Bennett, two eighth-rank grandmasters. Tobiashurriedly 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 Bennett andThomas’ 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 Bennett's attacks by himself with my own eyes.Not only was he completely 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 Bennett,he returned home.
Upon arriving home, Thea asked, “What happened, Darling?”
James narrated the chain of events that unfolded.
“What?”
Stunned, Thea exclaimed, “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 accomplished such a feat.novelbin
