Chapter 1103
In the suburbs of the Capital...
A convoy stopped at the foot of a hill.
Three people got off the convoy. They were James, Thea, and Maxine.
James pointed at a courtyard at the foot of the hill and said, “This is the Sullivans’ residence. Let’s get moving.”
Then, he walked toward the Sullivans’ residence with Thea and Maxine following close behind.
Soon, they arrived at there.
Before they even knocked on the door, the door opened, and a twenty-year-old-looking man walked out. He was
Skylar Sullivan, a disciple of the Sullivans’ main branch and Maxine’s suitor.
Skylar was playing around with a pair of car keys in his hand.
Noticing there was someone by the door, he unconsciously lifted his head. Upon seeing James and the others, a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshiver ran down his spine. He stumbled back into the courtyard and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Help, James
is here! ”
News of James defeating the Johnstons’ Patriarch had spread.
Now, they knew of James’ unrivaled strength.
Hearing Skylar’s scream, the Sullivans gathered at the front door armed to the teeth. Some were carrying long
swords; some were carrying rifles; some were holding heavy weaponry.
“Who do you think you are?” a roar came.
A fat man walked out.
It was Zaiden, Patriarch of the Sullivans.
He was around forty years of age.
Looking at James and the others, Zaiden’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “How dare you make your way here
to the Sullivans, James?! Do you seriously think that you’re invincible?”
James froze.
What a false accusation that was.
He was only here to inquire the Sullivans whether it was Mr. Gabriel who told them about his strength.
“St-Stay away, James...” Skylar hid behind Zaiden. Though he was holding a sword in his hand, his hands were
shivering.
He was extremely fearful of James. After all, he antagonized him while he was at the Cadens’ mansion back then.
He was concerned about James’ reprisal.
Looking at the Sullivans who were wearing fearful expressions on their faces, James smiled and said, “Patriarch of
the Sullivans, I come in peace. I’m just here to ask about something. Besides, we don’t have a grudge between the
two of us. There’s no need for us to be so hostile to one another.”
Hearing this, Zaiden breathed a sigh of relief.
Skylar’s scream gave him a false impression. He really thought James was here to massacre them all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What is it, then?”
Although he was relieved, he was still on high alert. After all, James was so powerful that the Sullivans were no
match for him, save for perhaps the Grand Patriarch. Even so, the Grand Patriarch might not stand a chance too.
James said, “I’d like to know where you received news that my strength increased because I cultivated the martial
art in the four paintings.”
Hearing this, Zaiden fell silent.
He was contemplating whether or not to reveal the truth to James.
As the Patriarch of one of the Ancient Four, he had a certain understanding of the dynamics of the outside world.
He knew that the faction Yaroslav was a part of opposed the King. Meanwhile, as the Dragon King of the Southern
Plains, James was on the side of the King and the nation.
After a moment, he said, “It’s Yaroslav.”
Maxine asked, “Areyou referring to Mr. Gabriel who’s behind the previous Emperor?”
“Yes.” Zaiden nodded.
Hearing this, Maxine shot James a look, as if saying that she had been right all along.
James asked, “Could you provide me with more details about Mr. Gabriel?”
