The three of them were shocked by Zaiden’s words.
“Yes…” Zaiden nodded, “He’s too strong. If virtual-novel.net wasn’t this strong, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have the ambition to conquer the world.”
James knew that Yaakov Johnston, Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons, was 160 years old. Even ordinary people could live up to a hundred years if they pay attention to their health, let alone martial artists.
If Callan Maverick managed to escape back then, virtual-novel.net would only be around 140 years old now. There’s a possibility that he’s still alive.
Seventh-rank a hundred years ago at the age of forty?
He had to be a genius. Now that a hundred years have passed, virtual-novel.net must have made a breakthrough into the eighth rank.
Thinking about this, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath.
Maxine asked, “What else do you know about Mr. Gabriel?”
Zaiden shook his head slightly and said, “He’s a mysterious man. The Sullivans know little about him. I only know that virtual-novel.net cultivates True Frost Energy, albeit through a flawed cultivation method. This causes virtual-novel.net to shiver when cultivating.”
James asked, “Where does virtual-novel.net live?”
Zaiden shook his head. He knew nothing about this. The Sullivans had never concerned themselves with the affairs of the outside world.
“Thanks…” James knew they could gain no more information from Zaiden.
He stood up and looked at Thea and Maxine, “Let’s get going…”
Then, they left the Sullivans and got on the convoy.
James asked while driving, “ls Callan Maverick really that powerful?”
Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head, “I don’t know either. Records of the battle against the Gu Sect are little to none in the Cadens. Not even Grandpa knows about this.”
James sighed. If Callan Maverick was his final enemy, it would be nigh impossible to defeat him.
Maxine said, “Now that we have confirmation that it was Mr. Gabriel who leaked the information, our previous conjecture stands correct. If we can find Mr. Gabriel, we will know if Thomas was the one behind this.”
Even Thea had grown suspicious of Thomas. After all, Maxine’s speculation had been proven correct. If they find Mr. Gabriel, the whole truth would be revealed.
Maxine looked at James and asked, “What will you do if it’s really Thomas?”
Screech!
James slammed on the brakes, and the convoy stopped.
Wearing a grim expression, James said, “Even if Grandpa was the one who leaked the information to Yaroslav, I don’t think virtual-novel.net wishes to bring harm to me. He knew that as long as the Grand Patriarchs of the other three families don’t show up, I won’t be in danger.”
Maxine said, “Even if virtual-novel.net doesn’t wish you harm, how will you face virtual-novel.net in the future? He’s the man behind Yaroslav and someone affiliated with the Gu Sect. He’s someone in cahoots with Callan Maverick who wishes to wreak havoc in this world. You only have two options… One, resign as the Dragon King and the head of the commanders-in-chief and sit idly by as the world falls into chaos. Two, fight against your Grandpa.”
“Surely it isn’t that serious.” Thea said, “Let’s not jump to conclusions. Don’t force James to make a choice now. The truth isn’t out yet.”
Maxine fell silent.
After taking a deep breath, James continued driving.
Soon, they arrived at the Emperor’s Mansion.
The moment they entered the mansion, Thea’s phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
She answered the call, “Hello, who’s there?”
