Chapter 859
In the Cadens’ courtyard.
A group of people scrutinized an unconscious James.
Tobias furrowed his brows and asked, “Who sent him here?”
The guard said, “They were wearing a mask, so we couldn't see their faces clearly. After leaving James In front of the gate. they simply left without a word.”
At that moment. Maxine exclaimed in an alarmed voice. “Grandpa, I've just received news that the Johnstons are claiming that I went to the Jonnstons’ headquarters along with men from the God-King Palace and took James away.”
Tobias hissed in irritation, “Looks like someone is trying to pin this incident on the Cadens.”
Maxine asked, “What should we do then? Should we save James?”
A conflicted look formed on Tobias’ face. Then he responded flatly. “Although he’s no longer a Caden since his grandfather betrayed the family. the fact remains that Caden blood still runs through his veins. In any case, we should take him in for now.”
A few guards walked over to James and carried him into a room. Tobias inspected his injuries carefully.
Maxine leaned in to get a better look. “How is he, grandpa?”
Tobias’ replied bleakly, “Hades’ cruelty knows no bounds. James had finally managed to cultivate True Energy and attained the power of the first rank. However, the True Energy within his body was forcefully expelled, and his meridians were utterly destroyed as a result. Fortunately for him, he reached the pinnacle of External Martial Arts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived this. To make things worse, there’s also Gu venom inside his body. Curse the Gu sect... They just keep crawling out of nowhere like cockroaches.”
Maxine held her breath when she heard the extent of James’ injuries. “Can he be saved?”
Tobias nodded. “Yes, he definitely can. Unfortunately, he'll completely lose his martial art skills. It'll be next to impossible for him to cultivate True Energy once again.”
He stood up and walked toward a table. He then wrote the names of a few herbs on a piece of paper and handed it to Maxine. “Go get some medicine for him. It should take a couple of months for him to recover completely and finish recuperating.”
“Got it.”
Maxine nodded and left with the prescription.
Tobias got up and walked toward James’ bed again. He helped James up and made him sit in a lotus position. Sitting behind James, he raised his wrinkled hands and pressed his palms against James’ back.
He channeled his own True Energy into James to treat his internal injuries.
After some time had passed, Tobias was completely drenched in sweat.
