The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1049
With Bennett's guidance, James mastered the First and Second Sword Realm of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.
In other words, he had officially entered the sixth rank with this.He was one of the few people who were able to attain such
strength at his age.
James thanked Bennett profusely.
Bennett waved his hand in dismissal and lightly said, "That’s enough.You should go.All I ask is you come visit me whenever
you're free."
James did not say anything else.He turned and left.He had been staying in the backyard of the Cadens' mansion for the past
month and had not walked around the front yard at all.
Over the past month, he had absolutely no idea about what had happened in the outside world.
As soon as he left the backyard and approached the front, he heard people arguing.He looked in the direction of the commotion.
A good number of people were gathered outside a room.
"Maxine, do you know what you’ve done?!"
"You blatantly ignored our family’s rules and broke them.The family head has been too soft on you.How could you attempt to
steal martial art manuals?"
Several people were reprimanding a young woman.She was in her 20s and dressed in casual clothing.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe was
practically prostrating herself on the ground.
James frowned and walked over shouting, "What’s going on?"
When they saw James approaching, the Cadens gathered were slightly taken aback.
Every Caden knew James had been living in the Cadens’ mansion backyard for the past month and was personally supervised
by the Grand Patriarch as he attempted to learn their family’s signature martial art techniques.
Many of the younger Cadens burned with envy when they saw him.

Why him? They were the direct disciples as well as descendents of the Cadens but had never received such special treatment
before.
Yet, a family traitor’s descendant had the opportunity to be personally taught by the Grand Patriarch.
There was even news going around that Tobias wanted to train James to be the future head of the Cadens.
"James, this is a family problem.An outsider like you shouldn’t get involved in it."
An unfriendly voice addressed him.
James turned to the source and saw that it was none other than Bobby Caden.It was the very same brat that caused him a lot of
trouble in the past.
He had kidnapped Thea and attempted to disfigure her face to force him to hand over the ancient chest from the Prince of Orchid
Mountain’s ancient tomb.
"Don't assume that you’re a member of the Cadens just because grandpa is protecting you! Your family has long been exiled
from the Cadens by the Grand Patriarch."
Bobby was not giving James an ounce of courtesy and pointed to the gate as he said dismissively, "Get lost."
Meanwhile, the Cadens’ seniors remained silent.
However, it was plain to see from their aloof expressions that James’ presence was extremely unwelcome.Some even threw him
hateful glares.
James scanned the surroundings.He took a guess that these people who showed him such unrestrained hostility had their
relatives killed by Thomas.
James ignored them and looked at Maxine, kneeling on the ground with her forehead firmly planted on the floor.
He asked, "Maxine, what’s going on?"
Before Maxine could reply, an elder stepped forward with his hands behind his back.
He glared at James and answered him coldly, "Maxine has broken our family rules by entering the family library and attempting
to steal the Cadens’ martial art manuals.She was caught in the act."

James glanced at the elder.
The appearance of the older man was somewhat similar to that of Tobias.
The person was likely Tobias’ brother, which also made him James’ granduncle.
"Is that true, Maxine?"
"Is there any way it isn’t?"
Bobby grabbed Maxine off the ground and took a handwritten manual from her.
Then, he tossed her back on the floor and growled, "There’s your hard evidence."
Maxine kneeled on the ground and lowered her head.She was not defending herself.
What happened? James narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
‘Could this be Tobias’ plan, an opportunity to cut Maxine off from the family? Coming to the realization, James looked at Bobby
sternly.
"Even if it was true, there’s no need for to make her kneel."
James reached out and gently helped Maxine off the ground.
