Chapter 889

Skyler had been pursuing Maxine for some time.

That was why he always appeared in the Cadens’ mansion every few days.

Although relations between the four families were sensitive, the relations between the younger

generations had not been affected much.

Even with the issue of the Johnstons collaborating with the Sullivans and the Lees to corner the

Cadens, Skyler still dropped by the Cadens’ mansion often.

Skyler glared at James.

Maxine was protecting James, which made him incredibly furious.

“Brat, if you’re a man, get over here, and let’s have a fair fight.”

“Ignore him, James,” Maxine whispered.

James was unwilling to get into conflict with Skyler. He knew Skyler was strong and had cultivated True

Energy.

He walked passed Bobby and Skyler, leaving through the gate.

Skyler swiftly moved and blocked James again. He stretched out his hand and barricaded his path His

handsome face was full of anger. “Are you scared? If you’re scared, you can crawl out from under me.

Only then will I let you go.”

After saying that, Skyler spread his legs.

“Skyler, don’t overdo it.” Maxine’s face was gloomy. “Grandpa has given me the order to protect James.

If you make things difficult for him, I’ll have no choice but to go against you.”

“Maxine, are you really going to stand against me for a sinner of the Cadens?” Skyler asked sadly. “I’ve

pursued you for so long. Is this how you’re going to treat me?”

“Those are two different things. I’m only following orders. If you insist on fighting James, seek

permission from grandpa. I won’t stop you if he allows it.” Maxine did not want to ruin their relationship,

so she deliberately used Tobias to stop Skyler.

Sure enough, upon hearing Tobias’ name, Skyler immediately lost confidence.

“Don’t use grandpa to scare me.” Bobby stepped forward.

“Skyler, you can go ahead and beat him up. If grandpa gets mad, I’ll bear the punishment.”

Hearing Bobby’s words, Skyler was relieved.

His face darkened, and he rubbed his fists together. In a swift motion, he raised his hand to grab

James, intending to lift and slam him to the ground.

However, before Skyler’s hand could even touch James, he was blocked by Maxine.

Maxine blocked his arm and slammed her palm into his chest. The powerful force made him take a

step backward. Blood started dripping from the corner of his lips.

“You, you…” He pointed his finger at Maxine.

Maxine said coldly. “That was me being merciful. If you continue to trouble him, I won’t go easy on

you.”

“Very well, Maxine Just wait!” Bobby threatened.

Maxine ignored him and turned to James, saying, “Let’s go, James.”

“Okay.” James nodded.

They turned and left.

Bobby shouted, “James, do you think I wouldn’t come for you just because you’ve gained grandpa’s

support? Just wait. I’ll kill you sooner or later.”

James walked out of the courtyard.

Outside the Cadens’ mansion…

Maxine said apologetically, “James, don’t take it to heart.”

James smiled lightly.

For ten years, he had never been afraid of anything.

However, right now, it was true that he was not as strong as the others. Therefore, he had to endure

their harsh words to save himself some trouble.

“After cultivating my True Energy, I’ll teach those two ignorant kids a lesson.”

“Huff,” Maxine sighed and said nothing more.

After James left the Cadens’ mansion, he headed directly to the military region.

Ever since he was kidnapped, Henry and the Black Dragon Army had not left and had been patiently

waiting for him.

The Black Dragon Army rejoiced upon witnessing James’ safe return. After learning that James had

returned, Henry quickly ran out of the building and jumped on James, hugging him.

“Haha! You’re back, James! I thought you died after being captured by the Johnstons.”
