Chapter 1948

“Stop!”

At that moment, a voice boomed through the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man walking into the hall. He wore a

plain coat and held a long sword in his hand.

“Isn’t that Sky from Tacriyrus?”

“Why is he here?”

Many people began to whisper speculatively about Sky’s sudden appearance.

Maxine frowned when she saw Sky

Meanwhile, James’ face lit up with delight.

Someone had come to crash the wedding.

Maxine looked at the sullen Sky with a nonchalant expression and said coldly. “What’s the meaning of

this, Sky?”

Sky walked into the main hall. He glanced at James, then turned to Maxine, asking. “Why?”

Maxine returned his question calmly, “What do you mean why?”

Sky began to gripe. “Haven’t I treated you well in the past year? Yet, you’re trying to marry James

behind my back and willingly becoming his mistress? Have you lost your mind, Maxine?”

This is my decision and it has nothing to do with you. If you’re here to attend the wedding, find yourself

a seat and have some drinks. If not, get lost.” Maxine turned him away.

The guests immediately became intrigued by the scene.

Sky also had romantic feelings for Maxine.

James quickly stepped between them and said, “Sky, since you’ve come all the way, don’t leave just

yet. Let’s settle it as men. I won’t marry Maxine if you beat me, and you can have her.”

“You”

Sky’s face darkened, and he roared furiously, “Stop looking down on me!”

“Was I looking down on him? James was puzzled.

“What do you mean, Sky? Are you afraid to take me on?”

Sky’s skin turned red and he began to stutter, unable to piece together his words.

Maxine attempted to chase him away once more. “Leave Floret Palace this instant! From today

onward, I’m denouncing my involvement with Tacriyrus and I don’t care about your country’s affairs.”

“Haha…”

Sky was infuriated.

He never had an interest in women in the past.

However, Maxine suddenly appeared and said she was willing to help him. He gradually developed

feelings for her

Yet, Maxine wanted to marry someone else.

Shing!

He drew his sword.

” accept your challenge, James. Even though I’m no match for you, I’ll come at you with everything I

have! Let’s do this! Sky roared.

Cynthia and Tiara stood aside silently

Maxine gritted her teeth.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

James mocked him and leaped into action.

Sky gripped his sword and attacked as well.

“Argh.”

James’ arm had gotten sliced, and blood oozed out of the cut. His body was blasted backward, and he

slammed into the ground.

He struggled to get up from the ground and exclaimed, “H-How are you so strong? I’m no match for

you. I’ll cancel the wedding”

As he spoke, he looked at Maxine.

“Maxine, it seems we’re not meant to be together I can’t stand up to Sky, so I’m not worthy of marrying

you.”

James spoke earnestly.

However, Maxine’s face darkened in response.

Her face bore a scowl as she hissed, “What do you mean by this, James.”

At that moment, Sky was dumbfounded.

The martial artists present were also stunned.

Everyone knew James’ strength far outclassed Sky’s. It should have been impossible for him to be

defeated in a single move.

Could it be that he was unwilling to marry Maxine?

James looked at Maxine and whispered, “Tell me where Winnie is. If you don’t, I’ll expose you in front

of everyone and ruin your reputation.”

“You’re really something, James.”

Maxine let out a baleful laugh.

Her hair began to flutter, and her dress swayed in the air

Maxine looked at Sky angrily and shouted, “Get lost, Sky! Or you’ll regret it!”

Right then, James’ phone rang.

He took out his phone and answered it.

“James, we’ve discovered where Winnie is being held. Our people are rushing over right now and

estimate to extricate her within two hours.”

James’ heart was finally put to ease after hearing Henry’s report
