Chapter 997
Before James could react, his acupuncture point was struck.
Immobilized, he sat on the chair and stared coldly at Flynn, who was in a fit of rage. “What do you think you’re
doing, Flynn?”
“Hmph! ” Flynn grunted. “Take him to the Western border. Tell Tobias to bring Maxine there to apologize in person.”
James could feel someone covering his head with a black balaclava. Then, his vision darkened, and he was taken
away.
Madelyn glanced at Flynn. Seeing that he was still enraged, she tried to calm him down. “There’s no need to get
mad over something as trivial as this.”
“What do you know?” asked Flynn. He sat down and said coldly, “ There hasn’t been a Great Grandmaster in the
ancient martial world of Sol for hundreds of years. The martial art conference, which will be held in a few months,
will select a new Great Grandmaster.
“All these years, the Blithe family has kept a low profile. Now, we plan to make our presence known once again. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbest way to do so is to enter into a political marriage with the Cadens and dominate Sol. Now, however, with all this
fiasco, what are we supposed to do? Even if the Blithe family becomes the number one family in Sol, we’ll be the
laughingstock of the world! ”
The ancient martial families valued reputation more than anything else.
The political marriage was now but an afterthought. James and
Maxine had to pay with their lives. Not only that, Flynn even wanted Tobias to apologize to him in person.
Madelyn asked, “I see... But, since the Blithe family’s plan to ally with the Cadens has failed, what will you do now?”
Flynn replied, “I’ve already consulted my father about this. He ordered me to take James to the Western border and
instructed Tobias to bring Maxine to me and apologize in person. At the same time, he’ll invite the circle to the
Western border for them to witness Tobias apologizing to us in front of everyone. Consider this as a tactic to
proclaim our comeback to the world."
Wearing a delighted expression, Madelyn stood up and congratulated Flynn, “Allow me to congratulate the Blithe
family’s domination of Sol in advance. I’m sure you’ll become the most powerful man in the world.”
Madelyn’s flattery made Flynn feel a lot better.
He had come to the Capital for the marriage. Before coming, he had seen what Maxine looked like in a photo. She
was indeed a flawless beauty worthy of marriage into the Blithe family.
However, his good mood was ruined by James and Maxine.
“Thank you, Ms. Gabriel, for informing me of this. Otherwise, we’d still be kept in the dark We might even become
the laughingstock of the ancient martial world. As I’m busy, I’ll have to leave now. Allow me to treat you to a meal
in the future.” Flynn turned to leave.
Then, he went straight to the Cadens’.
Meanwhile, Madelyn walked toward the opposite room and opened the door.
There was a fireplace in the room, and a man was warming his hands with the flames.
“Mr. Gabriel.” Madelyn walked over to him and greeted him respectfully.
“How did it go?” Mr. Gabriel asked.
Madelyn replied, “The Blithe family is enraged. They captured James and brought him to the Western border. They
even ordered Tobias to bring Maxine to the Blithes’ mansion to apologize in person. Also, many ancient martial
artists will be invited to witness the scene.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, Mr. Gabriel’s face darkened. “The Blithes intend to proclaim their comeback to the world.”
“Yes,” Madelyn said. “Ambitious and power-hungry, they’re determined to obtain the position of the Great
Grandmaster in the martial art conference. Not only that, they aren’t afraid of anyone, not even the Cadens. Now
that their reputation is at stake, they won’t hesitate to turn against the Cadens.”
“You’ve done well, Madelyn. Return to Cansington to manage the situation.”
“Understood.” Madelyn nodded and left.
“The Blithe family...” Mr. Gabriel stood up and muttered under his breath. “Don’t disappoint me... I’m expecting you
to tear this apart.”
Then, he left.
At the same time...
After Flynn left, he headed straight to the Cadens’.
Soon, he arrived outside the Cadens’ courtyard.
“Who’s there?”
Seeing the convoys stopped in front of the gate and the fully- armed men that were pouring out of the convoys, the
guards of the Cadens’ mansion were alarmed.
