Chapter 1246
He also managed to snatch a core with his strength and the assistance of his subordinates. Now, he was planning to snatch
away the cores that other people had taken.
However, he was unsure who else had snatched a core.
“This sure was worth the trouble. After consuming it, my strength will increase significantly, and the realm of the ninth rank will be
within my grasp.” Lucjan smiled to himself faintly and quickly left to search for the others who might have taken a piece of the
core.
He did not bother himself with James and Simon anymore because his numerous subordinates were strong core members of the
Gu Sect.
The weakest ones were at the peak of the sixth rank, and many of them were of the seventh rank. Simon who was low on True
Energy would find it challenging to escape with them chasing after him.
Enter title...
After Jackson departed, he quickly searched for Bennet and Tobias.
At that moment, the two had already stepped outside the range of Mount Thunder Sect’s territory.
Bennet placed Tobias’ limp body in front of a car by the roadside.
Tobias’ face was pale as he whispered weakly, “Grandpa, I can’t hold on any longer,”
He was only in the middle phase of the seventh rank. While fighting the Spirit Turtle, he was severely injured.
Following that, he was besieged by the other three families, which further worsened his injuries.
Bennett gently placed his fingers on Tobias’ wrist to check his pulse and injuries.
He frowned. “Your injuries are very bad, and your heart meridian is damaged.”
Bennett raised his hand and summoned a strong burst of True Energy in his palm. Then, he pressed it against Tobias’ chest,
using his True Energy to heal the injuries.
Tobias feebly tried to push his hand away. “Grandpa, don’t waste your True Energy. Save it and escape quickly. Thomas has
brought a catastrophe upon the Cadens, and we won’t survive without someone strong to defend us.”
Tobias did not want Bennet to waste too much True Energy to save him.
If their enemies found them, neither of them would survive.
Bennett calmly took out a pill and slipped it down Tobias’ throat.
Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and began to heal Tobias’ injuries.
“Thomas is an incredibly devious man.”
Bennett’s face filled up with helplessness and despair.
If Thomas had used his talent on the right path, his cultivation base would have easily reached a higher realm.
Instead, he devised a scheme to defeat the Spirit Turtle. All for what?
“Mr. Bennett...”
In the distance, an out-of-breath voice called out for him.
Bennett heard the sound and turned around.
He saw Jackson, Mount Thunder Sect’s leader, rushing over and appearing in front of him as soon as he came into his vision.
“What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
Bennett stared at Jackson warily.
Everyone in the ancient martial world was on their own after what had happened, and no one could be trusted. Bennett was
unsure if Jackson chased after him just to snatch the core he had obtained.
Jackson clasped his hands together and lowered his head in desperation. “Mr. Bennett, James fought with Yaakov and used the
Thirteen Heavenly Swords to defeat him. Ultimately, he showed mercy to Yaakov and let him live. However, Yaakov took
advantage of that and snuck in a devastating blow while his back was turned. James is on the brink of death right now and
needs you to save him.”
“What?”
Bennett stood up abruptly and cursed furiously, “Yaakov, you loathsome leech of a man! Disgraceful! He deserves to die right
now!”
He had seen James’ massive potential and acknowledged James as the future of the Cadens. Bennet held high hopes for him.
Once he learned about James’ injuries and their true cause, his blood boiled with anger.
Jackson held up his hands in front of Bennet to calm him down, “James has already killed Yaakov. However, he’s currently
unconscious and his life is hanging by a thread.”
Hearing this, Bennett glanced at Tobias, who was weakly lying on the ground.
“Go, Grandpa. I won’t be dying soon,” Tobias forced a smile.
“Immediately arrange for the Cadens in the Capital to pick you up so your injuries can be treated posthaste. I’ll check on James.
He’s our family’s future, and I can’t let him die.”
While speaking, Bennet walked to Tobias and quietly stuffed the core into his pocket, saying quietly, “Take the core back first.”
“Alright.” Tobias nodded.
Then, he got into the car next to the road and drove away.
While leaving, he contacted the Cadens and asked them to get him as soon as they could.
Bennett watched as Tobias drove away. When the car disappeared from his sight, he finally turned around and said to Jackson,
“Let’s go back to check on him.”
