Chapter 997
Before James could react, his acupuncture point was struck.
Immobilized, he sat on the chair and stared coldly at Flynn, who was in a fit of rage. “What do you think you're doing, Flynn?”
“Hmph!” Flynn grunted. “Take him to the Western border. Tell Tobias to bring Maxine there to apologize in person.”
James could feel someone covering his head with a black balaclava. Then, his vision darkened, and he was taken away.
Madelyn glanced at Flynn. Seeing that he was still enraged, she tried to calm him down. “There’s no need to get mad over something as trivial as this.”
“What do you know?” asked Flynn. He sat down and said coldly, “ There hasn't been a Great Grandmaster in the ancient martial world of Sol for hundreds of years. The martial art conference, which will be held in a few months, will select a new Great Grandmaster.
“All these years, the Blithe family has kept a low profile. Now, we plan to make our presence known once again. The best way to do so is to enter into a political marriage with the Cadens and dominate Sol. Now, however, with all this fiasco, what are we supposed to do? Even if the Blithe family becomes the number one family in Sol, we'll be the laughingstock of the world! ”
The ancient martial families valued reputation more than anything else.
The political marriage was now but an afterthought. James and
Maxine had to pay with their lives. Not only that, Flynn even wanted Tobias to apologize to him in person.
Madelyn asked, “I see... But, since the Blithe family’s plan to ally with the Cadens has failed, what will you do now?”
Flynn replied, “I’ve already consulted my father about this. He ordered me to take James to the Western border and instructed
Tobias to bring Maxine to me and apologize in person. At the same time, he'll invite the circle to the Western border for them to witness Tobias apologizing to us in front of everyone. Consider this as a tactic to proclaim our comeback to the world."
Wearing a delighted expression, Madelyn stood up and congratulated Flynn, “Allow me to congratulate the Blithe family’s domination of Sol in advance. I’m sure you'll become the most powerful man in the world.”
Madelyn’s flattery made Flynn feel a lot better.
He had come to the Capital for the marriage. Before coming, he had seen what Maxine looked like in a photo. She was indeed a flawless beauty worthy of marriage into the Blithe family.
However, his good mood was ruined by James and Maxine.
