"Do as you please, but don’t come begging the Cadens for help if you get in trouble.We're not here towipe your *ss for you." Tobias was firm in his stance of not helping James.
Maxine also reminded him, "James, remember to not to make any rash decisions."
"I know.I'll need to think about the long battle ahead...Which reminds me, I'll need your help strategizinga plan."
"Absolutely not."
Before Maxine could answer, Tobias shot down the idea immediately.
"Maxine won’t be helping you in this I’m afraid.Her assistance could be regarded as a stance from theCadens themselves, which will result in us getting dragged into unnecessary political conflict."
"Is that what you think?" James smirked faintly and replied, "From the moment you rescued me, theCadens have already gotten themselves involved in this matter.Your family are no longer able to standin the sidelines as innocent bystanders.If not, the Cadens wouldn’t have gotten caught up in so manyincidents.Tobias, I know that you’re concerned that the Cadens won’t be able to deal with the aftermathof my actions.This is the reason why you’ve been scrambling to form alliances that will allow you towithdraw from the Mount Thunder Conference unscathed.Since you’ve considered making the Blithesyour allies, has it not occurred to you to throw your lot in with the King? You must be well- aware of thecapabilities one needs to lead the nation as the King."
Hearing this, Tobias fell deep into thought, falling hook, line and sinker into James’ trap.
In actual fact, James was not as confident to deal with Mr.Gabriel as her made it seer.
Thus, he planned to drag the Cadens into it.He was still unsure of the type of man Tobias was but aslong as he was willing to side with him, it would be enough to deal with the likes of Mr.Gabriel.
"Grandpa, James is right," Maxine muttered quietly.
"Hmm?" Tobias looked at Maxine and his eyes widened slightly.
"Do you also think that I should side with the King and Mr.Lee in order to protect the Cadens and allowus to leave in peace?" Maxine nodded.
"Yes.Grandpa, you should know that the King represents the country of Sol.Most forces supporting theKing are also ancient martial artists within Sol." Tobias sighed and ran a wrinkled hand over his hair, "IfI took a side, the other families and forces would do the same.
The balance we've tried so hard to preserve will be broken and Sol will be thrown into chaos.
A fight for power will break out again.novelbin
It might even be worse than the one a hundred years ago, The possibility had definitely come up morethan once in Tobias’ mind.
However, everyone was observing the general situation and were unwilling to declare their stance sohastily.
If he were to start, the other forces would quickly begin picking sides as well.
Once everyone had shown where their allegiances stood, the next step would be to fight to death.
This battle will break the peace that Sol had enjoyed for the past hundred years.
This was the biggest reason why he was so hesitant to declare his allegiance.
"Grandpa...There is a way around this.You can disown me as a Caden and I’ll be able to observe themovements of other families from the shadows.Whatever I do in the future will have nothing to do withthe Cadens," Maxine suggested her extreme measure in a hushed tone.
Tobis glanced at Maxine and then cast his gaze toward James.He drummed his fingers on the tabletopand knit his brows deep in thought.
Meanwhile, James patiently waited for his reply.
After a while, he chose his words carefully.
"My every decision directly influence the life and death of the Cadens.I will stand by my decision to notchoose a side until I take my very last breath.However, Maxine’s suggestion is quite reasonable.If she’sexpelled from the family, then whatever she does will have nothing to do with the Cadens."
After he said his piece, he stood up with his hands behind his back, and left silently As for Maxine, shelooked at James with a smile on her pretty face.
"By the way." Tobias suddenly stopped and turned to the two.
"Since you’re here, take the chance to visit our library.There are plenty of signature martial art skillsinside there.You can take and practice whatever suits your fancy.You’ll need all the preparations youcan to accomplish whatever you plan to do."
After he finished speaking, he continued on his way.
James sighed in relief.
Although Tobias was unwilling to choose a side, he allowed Maxine to help him.
With an intelligent strategist on his side, he could save himself a lot of trouble.
