The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 939

James was also relieved that Thea had acquired third-rank Internal Energy.

Now, he could finally relax and stop worrying about her getting into trouble.

Instead of responding to Thea, he turned around and stared at the cavern’s entrance nearby.

Thea was tactful and stood by quietly without asking any further.

"Haa..."

James sighed deeply in resignation.

When the man thought to be his grandfather showed up, he was both ecstatic and concerned.He was ecstatic

because his grandfather was still alive.

In contrast, he was concerned that his grandfather was, as Tobias and Maxine had described him, a vile and

unforgivable devil.

James wished he could find his grandfather and learn the truth from him.He wanted to hear from him directly that

he was not who they claimed he was.

However, his grandfather fell into the bottomless abyss only moments after they met.

Although he saw him fall, James was powerless to stop it.

"Honey, Grandfather wanted you to live a good life and didn't want you to be involved in any sort of

conflict.Nevertheless, you were already caught up in it, so he racked his brain and did everything he could to

increase your power and make you invincible."

Thea, who was standing by, said softly, "Grandfather told me when he and his immediate family were driven out of

the Caden family, they came to Cansington and established a new life here.His cultivation base was also removed,

but he refused to give up.Instead, he concentrated his studies on medical skills in order to find ways to regain his

strength.

"That was because he knew that the internal conflict in the family hadn't come to an end.He was aware that the

Cadens would contact him at some point.

"Ten years ago, the Caden residence was consumed by flames.Grandfather only managed to get away by pure

luck.

After that, he went into hiding and built the God-King Palace.

"He didn’t find you because he was afraid.The Cadens are far too powerful.If he showed himself, he would surely be

killed.He’s gone now, but he left you the God-King Palace."

After hearing that, James could not help but turn to Thea and ask, "Did Grandfather tell you about what happened

in the Caden family thirty years ago, and why he was expelled?"

"He did mention a little," Thea said, nodding her head.

"I’m listening."

James took a seat on a rock.He had always been curious about the events of thirty years ago, and even more so

about his grandfather's character.

Thea took a moment to think back as she stood in front of James and peered into the distance.

"According to Grandfather, conflict was always present within the Caden family, and he had no desire to vie for the

position of patriarch.He was gifted in martial arts, but the martial arts he practiced were not the ones passed down

through the Caden family.Instead, it was a cultivation method that was left behind by a devil.That's why outsiders

thought he was evil.

"Thirty years ago, he was unexpectedly attacked while cultivating, disrupting the flow of his True Energy and

causing him to suffer from Energy deviation.He lost his mind and became violent.He attacked people at the Caden

residence, killing many members of the Caden family.Finally, the Grand Patriarch of the Caden family stepped

forward to subdue him and remove his Devilish Energy.

Then, they expelled him from the family.

"He understood that even though he had been kicked out of the family and had his cultivation base removed, the

Cadens would not leave him alone as long as he was still alive.So, before he left, he stole the Moonlit Flowers on

Cliffside's Edge painting.He said that as long as he had that painting, the Caden family would not take him lightly.

"However, in the end, he still couldn’t stop the unfortunate fate that befell the Caden family." Thea spoke softly as

she described the past.

James was puzzled as he listened and asked, "Did Grandfather ever reveal to you who it was that attacked him,

causing him to experience an Energy deviation and go insane?"

Thea shook her head.

"Grandfather had no idea who it was either.He could only guess it was someone from the Caden

family.Grandfather’s talent was impressive, and he possessed the highest level of martial arts mastery among the

Caden family's younger generations, so it was an unspoken agreement that he would be the patriarch.Tobias is the

current patriarch, so it’s highly likely that he was the one responsible."

James began to lose himself in thought.

Although he did not have much interaction with Tobias, he was almost certain that Tobias was not someone who

would plot and scheme for the position of patriarch.

"What else did he tell you?" James inquired.

Thea replied, "During that time, he told me a lot of stories, some of which were about the Gu Sect a century ago.

However, since these events are now considered taboo, people rarely bring them up, and Grandfather didn't know

much either.

He simply stated that the establishment of the Empire of Sol had cost far too many lives and that the three major

families of the Gu Sect had all been sacrificed.During the war, these three families made heroic contributions to the

establishment of the country.In the end, though, people were wary of them and they were all wiped out."
