Chapter 1099

Tobias had had his eyes on the Blithe Fist of Abomination for a very long time.

Although he had cultivated Thirteen Heavenly Swords, the signature martial art skill of the Cadens, he

was still bitter about losing to the Blithe Fist of Abomination.

Now that he knew that James had cultivated this martial art skill, he was tempted to learn it himself.

James knew what Tobias was thinking of.

How could he impart the Blithe Fist of Abomination to him? ‘James, from today onward, you’ ll be the

Minor Patriarch of the Caden family.

After the Mount Thunder Conference, I'll step иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм down from my position as Patriarch for

you, assuming that the Cadens are still around.” Tobias was wearing an anxious expression.

“The Cadens are now besieged on all sides.

Many hope for our destruction.

However, as my strength is limited, I can’t protect the entire family.

However, if I can cultivate the Blithe Fist of Abomination, I might be able to turn the tides.” James

looked at Tobias and said, “I wish I could.

But, before my master’s death, he warned me not to impart the Blithe Fist of Abomination to any

outsiders.

I have to keep my promise.” “T see...” Tobias was disappointed.

Then, he said smilingly, “I don’t have a choice, then.

Since you’ve made a promise, you have to keep it.

However, you’ll have to work hard.

We'll be relying on you at the Mount Thunder Conference.” James could not figure Tobias out.

Though it was obvious that he wanted to learn the Blithe Fist of Abomination, he acted as if he could

not care less.

“I’m leaving.” James did not linger for long.

He simply turned and left.

After he left, the smile on Tobias’ face vanished.

His expression darkened, and he clenched his fists.

After leaving the Cadens’ mansion, James hurriedly returned to the Emperor’s Mansion.

In the living room...

James took a seat.

Thea poured a glass of water and handed it to him, “How did it go, Darling? What did Tobias say?”

Maxine looked at James, waiting for his response.

After James drank the glass of water, he said, “Tobias doesn’t know about it either.

By the way, while I was at the Cadens’ mansion, I came across someone.” “who?” They asked in

unison.

James said, “Yaakov Johnston, Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons.” “What? Yaakov Johnston?!” Maxine

exclaimed.

Thea glanced at her and asked, “Why? Is he that scary?” Maxine nodded and said, “I heard that he

participated in the battle against the Gu Sect a hundred years ago.

He had been about sixty years old then.

Not only that, his cultivation base was at the fifth rank.

To think that he would still be alive after a hundred years...

He must be unbelievably strong now.” Maxine could not imagine how powerful Yaakov would be.

Wearing a grim expression, James said, “He’s really strong.

I don’t stand a chance against him.

He must be at the peak of the seventh rank.

He’s probably even made a breakthrough into the eighth rank.” “Wh -What?” Thea was stunned.

Maxine nodded.

“It’s true.

Each of the Ancient Four has a Grand Patriarch.

However, I didn’t expect Yaakov to иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм be the Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons.

He’s a person of higher status than Bennett Caden, the Grand Patriarch of the Cadens.

However, there’s nothing to worry about.

The Cadens’ Grand Patriarch won't sit idly by if Yaakov dares make a move on us.” “Mhm.” James

nodded.
