The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1050
"This is preposterous!"
The elder Caden shouted.His booming voice was deafening.It rocked everyone present as if it were a clap of thunder.
Even Maxine was taken aback by his outburst.
James glanced at the elder and said calmly, "What do you want?"
The elder narrowed his eyes.
"In accordance with our family rules, the lightest punishment for those who enter the library without permission is the removal of
their cultivation base and the subsequent expulsion from our family.The more severe punishment states that offenders are to be
killed on the spot."
"Try to kill her if you dare."
James' expression darkened and he returned the elder’s hateful glare.
Maxine pulled James to the side and whispered, "James, just leave me be.I've violated the family’s rules by sneaking into the
library.Just let them punish me."
"It’s good that you acknowledge your own sins.Since we're all aware of your crime, I will be the one to abolish your cultivation
and expel you from the family.The elder suddenly raised his hand, and a powerful force materialized in his palm.It forcibly pulled
Maxine towards him.James had figured out that this was a ploy by Tobias and Maxine that would result in her expulsion from the
family.However, Maxine’s life would be over if they abolished her cultivation base.He quickly stepped over and grasped Maxine’s
shoulder, pulling her toward him.
Two forces pulled at Maxine causing her to lose her balance.She ended up falling directly into James’ arms.
James put his arms around her and slightly stepped back.
While he did this, he remained glaring at the elder in front of him.
James questioned the elder harshly, "It’s just a martial art manual.This isn’t a severe crime.There’s no need for such a cruel
punishment.Can’t you just excommunicate her? Why do you have to abolish her cultivation base as well?"

The elder’s face hardened as he heard this.His name was Karson Caden.He was not only an elder in the family, but he was also
Tobias’ youngest brother.
In terms of strength, he was far from being an unrivaled fighter.
However, he was still a grandmaster of the fifth rank.
Yet, James was able to snatch someone away from him.
Shock filled his eyes.
The entire scene caught the other Cadens by surprise as well.
Why was James so strong? They knew James well and were aware that he had cultivated his True Energy relatively recently.
However, they had also heard that he had his cultivation base forcefully removed by the head of the Johnston family.
How could he possibly have the strength to go against someone as powerful as Karson?
"Do you insist on interfering with the Cadens’ family problems, boy? Our family has rules that have been passed down for
thousands of years.Absolutely no one is allowed to break them.Having knowledge of those rules and still choosing to break them
is appropriately punishable by death"
Bobby stepped forward, jabbed his finger in Maxine’s direction, and spoke.
"I don’t care about your rules, "James replied coldly.
"You're just that eager to die huh...?"
Bobby immediately pulled out a gun and pointed it at James.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe started to speak in a loud and intimidating
voice, "You're a descendant of a sinner.Who are you to meddle in our family’s problems? Kneel before me!"
The other elders watching the events unfold did not step forward to stop Bobby.
He took their silence as them assenting to his actions.
"James, forget it.I truly am guilty,"
Maxine tried to dissuade him softly.

James put his arms around her protectively and glared at Bobby along with the other family members."He said calmly, "From
today onward, Maxine is no longer part of the Cadens.This means, you don’t have a say on whether she lives or not."
After speaking, James hurriedly dragged Maxine away.
"Son of ab*tch!"
Bobby fired a shot from his gun.
James did not even turn around to see where it was coming from.He simply caught the bullet with his fingers and threw it away.
Clang! The bullet fell to the ground with a loud sound.
Many were shocked by this sight.
On the roof, not far away, an old man was sitting as he watched the others from the shadows.It was Tobias.
When he saw this, Tobias murmured with a frown, "How did this kid become so powerful? He hid his strength so well.
Could he have unraveled the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge?"
After witnessing James master the First Sword Realm of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords, Bennett went into closed-door
meditation.
Thus, he missed the truly fantastic sight of James executing the Second Sword Realm of the technique.
The strength that James displayed shocked them.
"What do you take the Cadens’ mansion for? Do you think you can come and leave as you please?"
Tobias murmured and jumped off the roof, flying forward.He raised his hand and thrust his palm forward while in mid-air.
