Chapter 1044
"Do as you please, but don’t come begging the Cadens for help if you get in trouble.We're not here to wipe your *ss for you." Tobias was firm in his stance of not helping James.
Maxine also reminded him, "James, remember to not to make any rash decisions."
"I know.I'll need to think about the long battle ahead...Which reminds me, I'll need your help strategizing a plan."
"Absolutely not."
Before Maxine could answer, Tobias shot down the idea immediately.
"Maxine won’t be helping you in this I’m afraid.Her assistance could be regarded as a stance from the Cadens themselves, which will result in us getting dragged into unnecessary political conflict."
"Is that what you think?" James smirked faintly and replied, "From the moment you rescued me, the Cadens have already gotten themselves involved in this matter.Your family are no longer able to stand in the sidelines as innocent bystanders.If not, the Cadens wouldn’t have gotten caught up in so many incidents.Tobias, I know that you’re concerned that the Cadens won’t be able to deal with the aftermath of my actions.This is the reason why you’ve been scrambling to form alliances that will allow you to withdraw from the Mount Thunder Conference unscathed.Since you’ve considered making the Blithes your allies, has it not occurred to you to throw your lot in with the King? You must be well- aware of the capabilities one needs to lead the nation as the King."
Hearing this, Tobias fell deep into thought, falling hook, line and sinker into James’ trap.
In actual fact, James was not as confident to deal with Mr.Gabriel as her made it seer.
Thus, he planned to drag the Cadens into it.He was still unsure of the type of man Tobias was but as long as he was willing to side with him, it would be enough to deal with the likes of Mr.Gabriel.
"Grandpa, James is right," Maxine muttered quietly.
"Hmm?" Tobias looked at Maxine and his eyes widened slightly.
"Do you also think that I should side with the King and Mr.Lee in order to protect the Cadens and allow us to leave in peace?" Maxine nodded.
"Yes.Grandpa, you should know that the King represents the country of Sol.Most forces supporting the King are also ancient martial artists within Sol." Tobias sighed and ran a wrinkled hand over his hair, "If I took a side, the other families and forces would do the same.
The balance we've tried so hard to preserve will be broken and Sol will be thrown into chaos.
A fight for power will break out again.
