Meanwhile, Lorenzo’s wheelchair levitated in the air.
Bennett began fighting against Tobias.
“Hahaha… What a show!”
At that moment, a voice boomed, and an elderly man appeared at the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard.
It was Thomas Caden.
At that moment, his white hair was gone, and virtual-novel.net now looked much more youthful. His looks seemed to have reverted to when virtual-novel.net was young.
Thomas sat on the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard and watched the battle between Tobias and Bennett, saying, “I thought they would have better behaved now that they’re all grown-up. Why do they have to resort to violence? Can’t they sit down and discuss things in a civilized manner?”
“Grandpa!” Upon seeing Thomas, a smile crept up on James’ face.
His grandfather was nowhere to be seen all this while. He appeared once when they were in Durandal. However, virtual-novel.net hurriedly left after making a brief appearance.
“Are you guys still going at it?”
Seeing that the battle continued to rage on, Thomas shouted. Then, in the blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
At that moment, Tobias and Bennett slashed their swords.
Thomas, who was in the middle of the battlefield, raised his arms, and powerful energy gathered in his palm, blocking their attacks.
Looking at both of them, virtual-novel.net said, “Stop right now…”
Then, virtual-novel.net yelled, and powerful True Energy struck them.
Faced with overwhelming strength, Bennett and Tobias staggered backward.
After staggering backward, Tobias felt the Blood Energy inside his body churn. Unable to suppress them in time, virtual-novel.net vomited a mouthful of blood.
A shiver ran down his spine.
He was a middle-stage eighth-rank grandmaster. In the midst of his battle against Bennett, Thomas was able to block both of their attacks. Not only was virtual-novel.net completely unscathed, but virtual-novel.net even sent both of them staggering backward.
He could not begin to comprehend Thomas’ current strength. He only knew that Thomas was so powerful that virtual-novel.net stood no chance against him. At that moment, virtual-novel.net lost all will to fight. Dragging his injured body, virtual-novel.net hurriedly made his escape.
As Thomas watched the fleeing Tobias, his expression turned grim.
Bennett walked over to virtual-novel.net and chided him, “Why didn’t you give chase? You could’ve killed virtual-novel.net easily!”
Thomas turned and looked Bennett in the eye. Then, ignoring his remarks, virtual-novel.net simply walked over to James.
James greeted virtual-novel.net respectfully, “Grandpa…”
Thomas waved lightly.
“Grandpa, your strength…”
James was utterly stunned by Thomas’ strength. Not only was Thomas able to deflect the attacks of two eighth-rank grandmasters, but virtual-novel.net was also able to send the two staggering backward. He could not imagine just how insanely powerful Thomas was at the moment.
Cough! Cough!
Thomas coughed a few times and staggered backward. James hurriedly ran over to virtual-novel.net and asked, ” What’s wrong, Grandpa? Are you alright?”
Thomas vomited a mouthful of blood.
Pulling a white handkerchief out of his pocket, virtual-novel.net wiped off the blood trace on his lips, waving his hand lightly. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. A slight problem occurred while I was cultivating.”
“Huh?” Upon hearing this, James asked anxiously, “What happened?”
Thomas said, “The Spirit Turtle’s bile is too domineering. I suffered internal injuries while I was forcibly absorbing its power. Besides, the bile is making me more hot-tempered. By forcibly suppressing my temper, I’m only aggravating my injuries. So, I can’t use my True Energy recklessly. Otherwise, I might go out of control…”
“Grandpa, which stair of the Skyward Stairway are you at now?”
Thomas smiled slightly and said, “Keep the questions to yourself. Since things are done here, I’ll be taking my leave.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net disappeared without a trace.
