Chapter 1098
The Almighty Dragon General
He looked at James and reprimanded him, "James, is it true that you've stolen the paintings of the
other three families and unraveled the secret behind them?"
Tobias was also curious to know how James managed to become this powerful in such a short amount
of time.
However, James refused to tell him the truth.So, he was using this opportunity to pressure him into
spilling the beans.
James thought long and hard about it.
He knew that the Cadens would not shield him from the Johnstonsâ Grand Patriarch if he did not
provide a satisfactory explanation.
"No."
After brief contemplation, he said, "When I was imprisoned in the Johnstonsâ dungeon, I came across a
man by the name of Spencer Johnston.As he knew he wouldn't be able to live for long, he imparted his
True Energy to me and taught me the Blithe Fist of Abomination.
"Also, the elderly man who defeated Donovan Blithe, the Patriarch of the Blithes, at Mount Littleroot
was me in disguise.That's also how I came to learn the Blithe Fist of Abomination."
James told them the whole truth.
Now that his strength was known to all, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Once he spoke the whole truth, the Cadens would shield him from the Grand Patriarch of the
Johnstons.
After all, even though he crippled Hades, it was Hades who made the first move.
Tobias looked at Yaakov and said smilingly, "That was how it went.He didnât learn any martial art skill
from the paintings.Everyone knows about what happened on Mount Littleroot a month ago.Many
martial artists of the Johnstons were present too.You can easily verify the authenticity of his words."
Yaakovâs face darkened.He had come here personally to apply pressure on the Cadens to give up on
James.
Now, however, he no longer had the leverage.
"You said that Spencer Blithe imparted his True Energy to you.But, how could you withstand such
potent and concentrated True Energy? Your body wouldâve exploded on the spot.Are you taking me for
a fool?"
Before James could speak, Tobias hurriedly explained, "To be honest with you, when James was here
treating his injuries after being crippled by the Johnstons, he used a rather special technique.By
borrowing my True Energy, he forcibly opened all his meridians.As he was already near the fifth rank by
that time, he immediately made a breakthrough once imbued with powerful True Energy."
"Hmph!"
Yaakov stood up and left.
Before he stepped out of the front door, he paused and turned to look at Tobias and James.
"We'll settle the grudge between our families at the Mount Thunder Conference."
Leaving this ruthless remark, he left.
Tobias breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at James, who was sitting in a lotus position, he asked, "Are you alright?"
James shook his head slightly.
"Iâm fine."
He had learned many cultivation methods that cured injuries from the Medical Book.
As such, such a minor injury was of no consequence to him.
Tobias took a seat.
Meanwhile, after some regulation of his body condition, James stood up.иÏνÑâÑвÏÏк.¢ÏмTobias asked,
"Did Spencer Blithe really teach you everything he knew about the Blithe Fist of Abomination?"
Hearing this, James looked at Tobias.
Maxine had told him that Tobias was still bitter about losing to the Blithe Fist of Abomination twenty
years ago.
"Ves,"
He did not deny it.
Tobias stood up and patted Jamesâ back.
"James, you have potential.All this while, Iâve been trying to nurture you as a Patriarch of the
household.Not only did I treat your injuries, but I even allowed you to cultivate the familyâs signature
martial art skill.I have long heard of the renowned Blithe Fist of Abomination.Surely a principled man
like you would share what youâve learned with me?"
