The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 993

Chapter 993

Maxine did not dare utter another word.

Kneeling on the ground, she hung her head in shame and awaited Tobias’ punishment.

Wearing a furious expression, Tobias raised his palm on which True Energy was gathered. However, he could not bring himself to strike her.

“Sigh...” After a while, Tobias sighed deeply and retracted his palm.

James tried to help Maxine up, but she refused.

She did not dare stand without Tobias’ permission.

James looked at Tobias, who still had a furious look on his face, and said, “Maxine has nothing to do with this. It’s all Madelyn’s fault. You shouldn’t have taken it out on her.”

Tobias waved his hand and sighed. “Alright, now. You may stand.”

Maxine stood up and remained silent.

Then, Tobias ordered, “You're dismissed.”

“Understood.” Maxine turned to leave.

Tobias headed toward the Gazebo while James followed close behind.

The two sat at the same time.

Tobias sighed. “I know it’s not her fault, but do you have any idea what the Cadens are facing? It’s not just the other three

families but also the other ancient martial artists. The Cadens must form

ties with powerful allies to emerge victorious at the martial art conference happening in a few months. Otherwise, we'll come under siege and be annihilated.”

James knew how dire the Cadens’ situation was. The political marriage with the Blithe family was a last-ditch move.

James said, “Since things have already come to this, there’s no use taking it out on Maxine. Our priority should be to solve this issue. By the way, I have something Id like to ask you.”

“Speak.”
