Chapter 888

Similar to his situation with Blake, James could not see through Tobias.

He depended on his instincts when it came to making friends, and he felt that Tobias was unreliable

This man was unfathomable, and it was hard to know what was on his mind.

Moreover, there was the issue of the inner confüct of the Cadens from thirty years ago and the

annihilation of James’ family ten years ago. Tobias was the culprit, and hence, there would always be

vengeance sitting in the back of James’ mind.

Despite that, James was still unsure if he should kill Tobias and avenge his family once he got strong

enough.

“What are you thinking, James?”

“Nothing. Let’s go.”

James shook his head, refusing to explain himself. He turned around and walked away.

Before leaving the Cadens’ gates, James was stopped by Bobby, who stood alongside a man about the

same age as him. The man was dressed in a white robe, and he held a hand fan, looking like a

graceful scholar.

“Stop right there Where do you think you’re going?”

Bobby stepped in front of him.

The man in the white robe looked at Maxine with a smile on his handsome face. He greeted, “Maxine

Maxine frowned but still greeted him, “Skyler”

Then, she introduced him to James, “James, this is Skyler from the Sullivans

James looked at Skyler and did not say much. He turned to Maxine and said, “I’ll be going straight to

Cansington”

“Maxine, are you going with him?” Bobby looked at Maxine and asked

Maxine nodded “Yeah Grandpa ordered me to protect him”

“Hal” Bobby sneered

“James, you’re the Black Dragon, the commander of the Black Dragon Army. How did you end up

needing to be protected by a woman?”

“That’s none of your business Get out of the way,” James said coldly.

Bobby had caused him a lot of trouble, so James was not polite

“You’re already crippled. How dare you act so arrogant…” Bobby’s face darkened. He suddenly raised

his hand and pressed on James’ shoulder, roaring. “Kneel!”

However, James did not budge at all

“What? Bobby’s expression immediately changed

He heard that the Johnstons had crippled James. He was supposed to be completely useless

James raised his hand and struck Bobby with a punch His fist slammed into Bobby’s chest, causing

Bobby to fall back from the impact.

Bobby had a pained expression.

After a moment, he shouted, “Skyler, help me teach this guy a lesson!”

Skyler was already dissatisfied the moment he saw Maxine with James. However, he could not take

action as he was in the Cadens’ territory. Yet, now that Bobby had given him permission, he

immediately agreed.

“Alright!”

“What are you guys doing?!” Maxine stepped forward and shielded James. She glared at Skyler.

“Skyler, grandpa has ordered me to protect him. If you attack him, you’ll be forcing me to go against

you.”

“Maxine, you rebel…” Bobby growled, pointing his finger at her. “I’ll kill you if you protect him!”

“Go ahead and try.” Although Maxine did not have a high status amongst the Cadens, she was obeying

Tobias’ orders. Hence, she was not worried at all.

“Brat, you’re so useless. How can you call yourself a man when you’re hiding behind a woman?” Skyler

wore a disdainful expression.

The more Maxine protected James, the more furious he got.

How would he have a footing in the Capital if word got out that he did not teach James a lesson?

Everyone knew that he was pursuing Maxine.
