Chapter 1045
"James, this is your chance.The Cadens’ library contains countless martial art skills.This includes the best sword
technique in the world, the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.If you master that, it’d be a stretch to call you invincible but
there won’t be many people who can stand against you." Maxine beamed as she chattered excitedly to James.
Tobias was optimistic about James’ potential.
Despite James' thinly -veiled hostility toward him, he still allowed James to visit the family’s library.
This was not the first time that James had heard about the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.
The sword technique intrigued him.
"Alright.I'll make use this opportunity to take a look."
"I'll lead you there then." Maxine stood up and made a gesture inviting him to leave with her.
James stood up and followed Maxine deeper into the vast backyard.
After they spent a long time walking, he saw a solitary wooden house.
Maxine paused and whispered, "Do you see that wooden house over there, James?" James nodded.

"Yeah, I see it." Maxine explained in a hushed tone, "That’s the Grand Patriarch’s closed-door meditation
sanctuary.It’s also an area that’s off limits and forbidden to our family members.No one is allowed to enter without
permission from the family head.According to the our family tree, the person currently living there is probably my
grandpa’s grandfather.I heard from grandpa that his name is Bennett.He’s currently the eldest as well as the
strongest member of the Caden household."
"Bennett?" James stopped walking for a second.
He had heard this name before.
While James was in the Blithe’s underground prison, the person who passed on his True Energy to him, Spencer,
had interrogated him about his relationship with Bennett.
"Yeah.Grandpa said that the Grand Patriarch is powerful.He attained the seventh rank a few decades ago.As for
what rank he is right now, no one knows."
"Ohoho, are you young’uns talking about me?"
Suddenly, a spritely laugh came from somewhere.
Before James and Maxine could react, an elderly man suddenly appeared in front of them.He had a white beard
and an otherworldly aura.
It made him seem as if he was an immortal god.

Maxine had never met the grand patriarch but immediately knew that the person standing before them was Bennet
Caden.
She immediately bowed deeply, "It’s an honor to meet you."
James, on the other hand, remained standing and stared intently at the elderly man before him.
Bennett’s eyes were also fixed on James as he stroked his white beard in amusement.
Then, he said with a cheeky smile, "You must be Thomas’ descendant, right?" James nodded.
"Yes.He’s my grandfather.As the Grand Patriarch of the Cadens, you must know what transpired 30 years ago."
"30 years ago?" Bennett closed his eyes thoughtfully as he recalled the past.

family."
"Then you also know that my grandfather was attacked by someone, which in turn led to his Energy Deviation?"
"No.I know not of this." Bennett shook his head slowly.
Hearing this, James fell silent.
Bennett did not look like he was lying.
Despite that, James still firmly believed that someone must have been behind Thomas’s Energy Deviation, and that
person had to be someone from the Cadens.
"You're full of energy and your body is extremely sturdy.It’s rare for someone your age to have such a significant
amount of True Energy..." Bennett stared at James pensively.
Suddenly, his expression turned serious.
"Your True Energy..." He suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed James’ wrist.
He ran his hand along James’ hand and then all the way to his chest.
Then, he spun James around, pressed his arm on his back, and checked several of James’ acupoints.
James felt like he’d been held down by a powerful force and was rendered completely immobile.
After a while, Bennett released him and had a surprised expression on his face.
"You’re young, but your True Energy is powerful.There are still some vestiges of True Energy in your body that
hasn’t been fully absorbed.Who was the one who passed it to you?" James was taken aback by his question.
