Chapter 992

“Only Universal Hospital is making trouble. Everything else is fine for now.”

“That's great.” Maxine breathed a sigh of relief.

“By the way, who exactly is Mr. Gabriel?” James asked.

Maxine shook her head. “I don't know either. I don’t even know his full name. I've only heard from my

grandpa that he’s extremely powerful. He's at least of the sixth rank. Whether or not he’s reached the

seventh rank is beyond me.”

James’ expression darkened. He never expected Mr. Gabriel to possess such strength. He remained

silent, thinking.

After waiting for about two hours, they boarded the plane and returned to the Capital. By the time they

arrived, it was already six in the morning.

Walking out of the airport, James asked, “Are we heading back to the Cadens' right away?”

“Yup.” Maxine nodded. “That's the plan.”

Then, she called for a taxi, and the two got on.

At around seven in the morning, they arrived at the front gate of the Cadens' mansion. Many servants

were outside sweeping the fallen leaves.

“You're back, Ms. Maxine,” A servant greeted.

The servant walked over to Maxine and whispered, “I don’t know what happened, but the master was

extremely livid last night. Be careful not to anger him.”

Upon hearing this, Maxine shivered.

James was wearing a grim expression.

It seemed that Madelyn had shown Tobias the photographs. She might even have allowed the

photographs to circulate in their circle.

Maxine looked at the front gate. At that moment, she felt like those were gates to hell. The moment she

stepped foot into the premise, she would have to brace for what was to come.

Regardless, she stepped forward.

James followed close behind.

There were not many people in the Cadens’ mansion as it was still very early in the morning.

Maxine headed straight toward the courtyard.

In the gazebo of the courtyard, an elderly man could be seen sitting in a lotus position. He exuded a

terrifying aura. James and

Maxine could vaguely see the materialized energy flow whirling around him. It formed a magnetic field,

striking fear in their hearts.

After hesitating briefly, Maxine summoned the courage and walked over to Tobias. “I’m back, Grandpa.”

Her voice reverberated throughout the empty courtyard.

Tobias opened his eyes.

At that moment, the energy flow whirling around him suddenly came to a stop. Then, it struck Maxine

with great force.

Maxine was sent flying. She collapsed to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Tobias stood up. In the blink of an eye, he appeared right before her. He raised his palm, which was full

of True Energy.

“What are you doing?” James stopped Tobias in time. “Tobias, she’s your granddaughter. What do you

think you’re doing?”

Ignoring her injuries, Maxine hurriedly got up and knelt before Tobias.

“Maxine, do you know what you've done?” Tobias wore a surly expression.

Maxine was quivering in fear.

James explained, “It was Madelyn’s fault. She brought the Four Guardians, who were subordinates of

Mr. Gabriel, to Mount White. We fell for her trap because our acupuncture points were struck.We're

both innocent.”

“Shut your mouth,” Tobias reprimanded. “Of course I know you're being framed. But, will the Blithes

believe you? Oh, Maxine...How could you be so careless despite knowing how crafty Madelyn is?

You’ve doomed us all.”

“Please punish me for my mistakes, Grandpa.”
