The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1051
James pulled Maxine off the ground and left.
After they had walked a few meters away, they suddenly heard someone exclaim angrily.
James felt a powerful force sweeping toward him.
The intensity of the threat raised goosebumps all over his skin.He pushed Maxine away with all his strength and turned around
as he raised his hands to confront the threat.
Boom! The forces collided and resulted in a loud explosion.
Remnants of the forces lingered in the air and caused the nearby Caden disciples to stagger from its sheer potency.
Those without True Energy fell to the ground and coughed up blood.
James felt the powerful force surge through his palm and into his body.His arm went numb, and he stumbled several meters
backward.
In addition to that, the Blood Energy in his body bubbled over and caused blood to gush out of his throat.He forced himself to
withstand the pain as he swallowed a mouthful of his own blood.
Tobias stood firmly on the ground and his eyes shone grimly as he glowered at James.
He could barely process the fact that James was strong enough to withstand an attack from him.
"James, you’ve done well in hiding your strength."
"Heh."
James smirked.
Tobias questioned, "Your True Energy has grown a great deal.Seeing as you're still standing, am I right in assuming you’ve
already entered the sixth rank?"
This outsider...is a sixth-rank grandmaster?! Everyone stared at James in disbelief.

They never thought it possible that James had already reached the sixth rank so quickly.
James smiled lightly and did not reply Tobias’ question.
Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Can I take Maxine with me?"
Tobias clasped his hands behind his back as he replied, "Of course.However, I'd to remind her that once she steps out of these
gates, she’ ll no longer be a part of the Caden family nor have anything to do with us."
James did not say anything in response and turned to leave.
He walked to Maxine and pulled her wrist saying, "Let’s go."
Maxine followed James without any hesitation and they both left the Cadens’ compound.
James' face immediately turned pale after they walked outside.He could not endure the strain any longer and gurgled blood.
"James..."
Maxine was startled and quickly took out a tissue to wipe the blood away from his lips.
"He’s so powerful."
James’ face was clammy and ashen as he muttered weakly, "I didn’t expect Tobias to be so strong.One light blow was enough to
agitate my Blood Energy this much."
Maxine put her arm under his shoulder and supported James.
"Are you alright?"
James waved her away.
"It’s just a minor injury and isn’t anything serious.I’ll be fine after I rest for a bit."
"You’re too reckless.How could you reveal your strength so easily?" Maxine reprimanded him.
‘It’s alright."

James said, "I’ve always had people aiming for my head.It’s not something new.I’ve been hiding my strength for so long, but it
won’t be necessary anymore since I plan to take action against Mr.Gabriel.I’d like to see who has the balls to come for me
then.I'll get rid of anyone that tries to touch me.Plus..."
James paused and said, "I don’t trust Tobias.I want him to see me as a threat.Only then will he start to take action.He might try to
get rid of me, and as soon as that happens, he’ll expose himself."
Tobias was kind and caring toward him.However, it was precisely why James was suspicious of him.
His intuition was telling him something was off about Tobias and that he was just interacting with James through a facade.
Hearing this, Maxine went silent.
"Let’s go." James turned around and left.
