Back when Thea impersonated Maxine to save James, she had seen with her own eyes how James’ martial art skills were taken away by Hades. However, she did not have any martial art skills. Even with the support of the God-King Palace, she could not act recklessly.
Now, she applauded James for crippling Hades.
“Have you thought of the consequences?” Maxine frowned.
James said, “Of course I have. I was worried that the Johnstons would lose control. If not, I would’ve killed that old geezer.”
“Sigh…” Maxine sighed.
James was not worried about the Johnstons for now.
He was only concerned about one thing—Who leaked the information regarding his strength?
“Maxine, who do you think revealed my strength? Could it be the Cadens?”
Since things had already come to pass, Maxine did not blame James further. After brief contemplation, she gave her own opinion. “That’s highly unlikely. Based on what you said, they assumed you cultivated the secret of the four paintings. That’s how you were able to increase your strength so much in such a short amount of time. If the Cadens revealed your strength, wouldn’t that be tantamount to admitting to the theft of the paintings?”
“But, who else could it be? Could it be that someone from the Caden household wishes to see me dead?”
Maxine shook her head. “I’m not sure about that. You should ask Grandpa about it.”
“Got it.”
James was going to meet Tobias anyway. After all, what he did to the Johnstons’ Patriarch was consequential. He would have to discuss strategies with Tobias regarding their opponent’s reprisal.
Even if Tobias was unreliable, he was still the Cadens’ Patriarch. He would not sit idly by.
“I have to head over to the Cadens’ mansion at once.”
James stood up and left.
Meanwhile, at the Johnstons’…
A group of people gathered in the foyer of the Johnstons’ courtyard.
They were all key members of the family.
