The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 981 Maxine froze at his question.

After a few seconds, she nodded and replied, Yeah.Grandpa arranged the marriage.

James said, Ive heard about the Blithes.They used to be a sect that declined into a martial family and almost died down.Fortunately, they had a talented martial artist that revitalized the family.Theyve maintained a low profile all this while, but theyre actually a powerful family and are on par with the Ancient Four.Does this mean that Tobias is trying to win their support during the martial art conference? Yes.

Maxine nodded and said, The three families are pointing fingers at the Cadens.Were being besieged and need a strong ally.The Blithes are a good choice, and the means of winning them is marriage.

James frowned and said, In this time and age, how are such practices still happening? Why do we sacrifice someones happiness for the familys benefit? I agree.

Maxine looked at James.She pouted and said, Lets not talk about this anymore.What we should worry about is Madelyn.

Speaking of Madelyn, Maxines expression became wary.

I heard she was bringing people to Mount White after you.However, I didnt manage to find out how many or if they were grandmasters or ordinary people.

James rubbed his temples.

They were indeed in deep waters.

James looked at the hundred soldiers, and his expression darkened.

The last time, dozens of men died while he was trying to acquire the second volume of the medical book.

This time, he did not want any blood to be shed.

But… Maxine continued, Grandpa did mention that Madelyn wouldnt dare kill you.Shes simply coming to prevent you from bringing back the treasures.

Hehehe… An eerie laughter echoed throughout the forest.

James, Maxine, Blake, Daniel, and all the soldiers stood up simultaneously.

They carefully observed their surroundings.

The laughter sounded through the woods and resonated for a long time.

James quickly tried to determine the direction of the source.

However, the sound seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it originated from.

Since youre here, show yourself! James shouted, and his voice echoed.He stared intently into the distance.

A hundred meters away, a young woman stood on a tree over thirty meters high.

The woman was dressed in a leather jacket and pants.

Her clothes tightly hugged her bust and slender legs.

Hehe… The young woman laughed again.

Then, she jumped off the tree and landed firmly on the ground.

With a few leaps, she appeared in front of James and the others.

Bearing witness to the sight, the soldiers faces turned pale with fright.

I-Is she human? Although they were experienced soldiers, they were ordinary humans and had never seen martial artists before.

The woman in front of them had leaped more than a hundred meters in just a few seconds.

It was only reasonable for them to be horrified.

Their blood ran cold as if they had just seen a ghost.

Shes right… The woman stood before James and stared directly at him.She smiled and said, Im here to prevent you from bringing back the treasures.

Then, she turned her gaze to Maxine.

Maxine, I heard youre about to marry into the Blithes.What are you doing here? Would your marriage still go smoothly if the Blithes found out you were hanging around other men? The woman in leather clothing was none other than Madelyn.

Maxine glared at Madelyn and said slowly, I heard that Mr.Gabriel has a favorite disciple whos incredibly talented.Weve met a few times but have never dueled… Maxine stepped forward and hooked her palm, inviting her to a match.

A powerful aura surged from her body, and her long hair fluttered with the air around her.

The soldiers present could feel the overbearing force crushing them and quickly stepped backward.
