Maxine froze at his question.
After a few seconds, she nodded and replied, "Yeah.Grandpa arranged the marriage."
James said, "I’ve heard about the Blithes.They used to be a sect that declined into a martial family and almost died
down.Fortunately, they had a talented martial artist that revitalized the family.They’ve maintained a low profile all
this while, but they're actually a powerful family and are on par with the Ancient Four.Does this mean that Tobias is
trying to win their support during the martial art conference?"
"Yes."
Maxine nodded and said, "The three families are pointing fingers at the Cadens.We’re being besieged and need a
strong ally.The Blithes are a good choice, and the means of winning them is marriage."
James frowned and said, "In this time and age, how are such practices still happening? Why do we sacrifice
someone’s happiness for the family’s benefit?"
"I agree."
Maxine looked at James.She pouted and said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore.What we should worry about is
Madelyn."
Speaking of Madelyn, Maxine’s expression became wary.

"I heard she was bringing people to Mount White after you.However, I didn’t manage to find out how many or if
they were grandmasters or ordinary people."
James rubbed his temples.
They were indeed in deep waters.
James looked at the hundred soldiers, and his expression darkened.
The last time, dozens of men died while he was trying to acquire the second volume of the medical book.
This time, he did not want any blood to be shed.
"But..."
Maxine continued, "Grandpa did mention that Madelyn wouldn’t dare kill you.She’s simply coming to prevent you
from bringing back the treasures."
"Hehehe..."
An eerie laughter echoed throughout the forest.
James, Maxine, Blake, Daniel, and all the soldiers stood up simultaneously.
They carefully observed their surroundings.
The laughter sounded through the woods and resonated for a long time.

James quickly tried to determine the direction of the source.
However, the sound seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it originated from.
"Since you're here, show yourself!"
James shouted, and his voice echoed.He stared intently into the distance.
A hundred meters away, a young woman stood on a tree over thirty meters high.
The woman was dressed in a leather jacket and pants.
Her clothes tightly hugged her bust and slender legs.
"Hehe..."
The young woman laughed again.
Then, she jumped off the tree and landed firmly on the ground.

Bearing witness to the sight, the soldiers’ faces turned pale with fright.
"I-Is she human?"
Although they were experienced soldiers, they were ordinary humans and had never seen martial artists before.
The woman in front of them had leaped more than a hundred meters in just a few seconds.
It was only reasonable for them to be horrified.
Their blood ran cold as if they had just seen a ghost.
"She's right..."
The woman stood before James and stared directly at him.She smiled and said, "I’m here to prevent you from
bringing back the treasures."
Then, she turned her gaze to Maxine.
"Maxine, I heard you’re about to marry into the Blithes.What are you doing here? Would your marriage still go
smoothly if the Blithes found out you were hanging around other men?"
The woman in leather clothing was none other than Madelyn.
Maxine glared at Madelyn and said slowly, "I heard that Mr.Gabriel has a favorite disciple who’s incredibly
talented.We’ve met a few times but have never dueled..."
Maxine stepped forward and hooked her palm, inviting her to a match.
A powerful aura surged from her body, and her long hair fluttered with the air around her.
The soldiers present could feel the overbearing force crushing them and quickly stepped backward.
