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?”
