Chapter 1012
James did not wish to concern himself with other issues at the moment. 2
Meanwhile, Flynn swiftly made his way up the mountain too.
On the second floor of a villa at the mountaintop...
A few guards were kneeling.
“Trash!” Enraged, Donovan rebuked them, “You still can’t find James after so many days? How am I supposed to
threaten Tobias without him? How am I supposed to intimidate the crowd if I can’t execute him in public?”
“Sir, the one who broke into the dungeon was extremely powerful. He defeated all the guards at the entrance and
saved James with ease,” one of the guards said.
“Get lost, you trash!”
Donovan cursed.

Glancing at Flynn, Donovan asked, “Are the guests all here?”
Flynn replied, “Most of them have arrived. Unfortunately, Tobias hasn’t yet. By the way, a powerful old man
appeared at the foot of the mountain. Since he has no invitation card, he tried forcing his way in. When we tried to
stop him, a fight broke out...”
He narrated the chain of events that took place.
“Is he that strong? What does he look like?” Donovan asked.
After thinking for a moment, Flynn replied, “He was wearing an ancient-looking suit. He’s about sixty years ago,
long hair, bearded ... By the way, he seems to be someone infamous from sixty years ago. He said that he would
have annihilated the Blithe family if he’s the person he was sixty years ago.”
Hearing this, Donovan fell silent.
A man from sixty years ago? He had never heard of this.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand, “I understand. You’re free to go.”
“Understood.”
Flynn nodded and left.
In another villa...
Ancient martial artists from all over Sol gathered here. There were around 500 of them. Though they concealed
themselves from the public and rarely interacted with the outside world, they were acquainted with one another.
Now that they met, they were happily conversing with one another.
In a garden outside the villa, a few young maidens were having a stroll.
In the lead was Delainey of the Mount Thunder Sect.
“Young lady, why do you think the Blithes invited us to Mount Littleroot?” one of her servants asked.
Delainey momentarily froze before saying, “Before we left, my
father told me about the dynamics outside. He emphasized the grudge between the Cadens and the Blithes. He

has failed, the Blithes intend to use this opportunity to show the world who’s boss. They want the world to know that
the Cadens, the leader of the Ancient Four, is nothing in their eyes.”
“Then, will Tobias be here with Maxine to apologize in person?”
Delainey shook her head slightly and said, “I don’t know, but we’ll find out soon. After all, today’s the deadline the
Blithes gave the Cadens. Maybe Tobias will come. However, if he doesn’t show up, it would mean that the Cadens
and the Blithes would officially become enemies. A war could break out.”
They conversed.
Meanwhile, James blended into the crowd. He walked around but could not find anyone he knew.
The rest, on the other hand, were waiting for Tobias to arrive.
However, by noon, he had yet to show himself.
Just as everyone was getting impatient, a woman walked over to the entrance at the foot of Mount Littleroot.
The woman was about twenty-five years of age. Wearing a blue dress, she had long curly hair. Looking at Mount
Littleroot before her, she was wearing a grim expression.
“Maxine Caden has arrived! ” 2
