Chapter 1168
Tobias suddenly asked her sternly, “What exactly is James playing at?’
Maxine was taken aback by the sudden change in tone. “Huh? What do you mean? Grandpa, what's the matter? Did something happen?”
Tobias’ voice then took on a slightly surprised tone. "Are you not with James currently?”
"No, he left before me. I just arrived in Terentville.”
Tobias said, "News spread that James showed up at Mount Thunder Sect. He fought and defeated the sect leader, then took him away with him. Afterward, he left Jackson's head at Mount Thunder Sect's entrance.
They've issued a bounty for his head across the globe. Anyone that hunts him down and kills him will be rewarded greatly. The set's treasure, the Frost Sword, would also be included as a reward."
Maxine stood up abruptly when she heard the news. "What? Grandpa, is this news accurate?”, she asked as her voice shook in disbelief.
"Of course. It came directly from Mount Thunder Sect."
Maxine instantly lost the strength in her legs, and she collapsed to the sofa.
Thea could not help but ask, "What’s the matter? What happened?"
Maxine hung up her phone and turned to Thea. Her face was pale as she said, "Grandpa said that James killed Mount Thunder Sect’s leader, Jackson. The sect has issued a wanted order to hunt and kill him. They’re even offering to reward the person who kills him with their treasure, the Frost Sword."
"What?!" Thea exclaimed and stood up abruptly.
"H-How is that possible? James isn't that kind of person. He would never kill the Mount Thunder Sect's leader."
Maxine composed herself and tried to comfort Thea. "Breathe, Thea. Calm down.”
Thea sat down listlessly.
Maxine said, “Judging by the current situation, the information must be accurate. I'm guessing the enemy threatened James to kill Mount Thunder Sect's leader using their captives' lives against him. James must've gone through with it and is now being hunted down by Mount Thunder Sect. We must find him as soon as possible, or else his life will be in danger."
Hold on..."
Maxine suddenly thought of something and turned to Maxine urgently. " Quick, make a call to Cansington and check if the Callahans have returned."
"Okay, I'll call and ask about it."
