Soon, a soldier walked over with a hare and handed it to James.
“Dragon General, we just caught this hare. We’ve already cleaned it. You can roast it right away. It tastes incredible!”
James took it and said with a smile, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!” The soldier quickly left after passing James the hare.
James strung the rabbit and looked at Blake, asking, “Blake, why don’t you enlighten me about what happened a hundred years ago?”
Blake looked at virtual-novel.net and said, “I’ve already told you what I know. Although I’m a descendant of the Davises from the Gu Sect, I don’t know much about what happened a hundred years ago. I only know a little from what my grandfather told me when I was younger.”
“You don’t know the details?”
“I don’t.” Blake shook his head.
Since Blake was clueless, James did not press the topic anymore. The two chatted about some other things instead.
“Who’s there?!” James suddenly shouted.
His voice caught everyone’s attention.
The soldiers stood up instantly and observed their surroundings closely.
“It’s me,” A delicate voice sounded.
Following the reply, a figure jumped off a big tree in the distance. It was a woman dressed in casual white clothes.
“Maxine?” James was taken aback upon seeing the unexpected guest.
Maxine took a few steps forward and stopped in front of James.
A smile formed on virtual-novel.net pretty face as virtual-novel.net greeted, “James…”
James stared at the person in front of virtual-novel.net to make sure it was not an imposter.
After making sure it was indeed Maxine, virtual-novel.net asked, “What are you doing here?”
Maxine said with a smile, “Grandpa asked me to come. He found out that Madelyn was coming after you with many people and was worried something might happen to you. He sent me to check on you and to pass you some stuff.”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net took out the bundle virtual-novel.net was carrying and handed it to James.
James took it doubtfully and asked, “What’s this, and who’s Madelyn?”
Maxine explained, “Madelyn is Mr. Gabriel’s disciple. She’s incredibly strong. Since Mr. Gabriel’s puppet, the Emperor, is dead, virtual-novel.net sent Madelyn to replace virtual-novel.net and take charge of Centennial Corporation. She’s the one who managed to acquire so many major pharmaceutical groups in such a short period. Also, Grandpa copied these martial art manuals from the Cadens’ library for you.”
“What?” Blake’s eyes lit up at the mention of the manuals.
He exclaimed as virtual-novel.net looked at the white bundle in James’ hand excitedly. “J-James, quick! Open it and have a look.”
James rolled his eyes at Blake. He was not interested in the martial art manuals right now. What virtual-novel.net was more concerned about was Madelyn.
“You said that Madelyn was leading people to Mount White after me?”
“Yeah… It’s accurate news.” Maxine nodded.
“But, I didn’t see anyone. Plus, why would virtual-novel.net be coming after me?”
Maxine explained, “It must be to prevent you from bringing the treasures back.”
“Is virtual-novel.net strong?”
Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “I’ve never fought against her, so I can’t say for sure. But, I do know that she’s at least of the second rank.”
James gasped.
He never expected his enemies to follow virtual-novel.net to Mount White. It seemed that a battle was about to break out in the mountains.
James was not afraid to fight, but virtual-novel.net was worried about the soldiers with him. They were ordinary people, and if Madelyn chose to go aggressive, they would not make it out alive.
James sat down and started to think of a plan.
After a while, virtual-novel.net looked at Maxine and asked, “I heard the Cadens and the Blithes are arranging for a marriage. Is it true that you’ll be marrying into the Blithes?”
