Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 863

James found himself unable to sleep.

He had been repeatedly going through the events that had taken place.

He no longer had a handle on the situation. He had no idea what the King or the other forces that were backing the Emperor were plotting.

The God-King Palace only served to complicate things even further. What were they aiming for?

The night passed silently.

The next day…

The Caden residence bustled with its numerous visitors.

Mr. Lee and the King were the first to arrive.

They were here with a single objective in mind─to ascertain last night’s events and what the Cadens’ position was on the matter.

Opting to not waste any time with useless mental chess, Tobias simply told the truth of what had happened─James was left at the front door of the Cadens.

Mr. Lee wrinkled his nose at Tobias’ explanation.

He could not tell if Tobias was trying to deceive him or was actually speaking the truth.

Shortly after they departed, Mr. Gabriel arrived.

Next were the Johnstons and the other two families of the Ancient Four. All of them were here to ask about last night’s events.

Despite a large number of guests, Tobias’ answer to them remained unchanged. He plainly stated that the Cadens had nothing to do with the entire thing.

By noon, the guests finally stopped coming.

James only managed to fall asleep as the sun’s rays breached the horizon.

The first thing he sensed when he stirred was the appetizing aroma of hot food.

Turning his head in the direction the scent came from, he saw Maxine seated next to him.

She said, “I made you some porridge. Eat up and get your strength back.”

Despite only getting a few hours of rest, James had already felt much better. Getting up was still extremely difficult for him but he somehow managed and leaned weakly against a pillow.

“What about the God-King Palace?” James tensed up.

Taking a moment to consider her answer, Maxine replied, “I still know nothing about them. However, from what I can clearly observe, the God-King Palace is definitely here to make a mess of things. Since they’ve managed to accomplish just that, I predict they won’t do anything to you for a while. From what I can infer, the Johnstons should be the ones who will make the first move.”

James tilted his head. “What do you mean?”

Maxine drew another deep breath and explained, “Since grandpa saved you after the God-King Palace left you at our doorsteps, the Johnstons will suspect that the Cadens were the ones behind all this. They will assume that our objective, after obtaining the box unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid and unraveling the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, would be to secure the remaining three treasure scrolls and find a way to make a breakthrough into the ninth rank.

“With this in mind, they won’t sit on their hands and wait for things to blow over. By killing you, it would serve as a warning to the Cadens. They want to show that they’re ready to retaliate with force if the situation demands it.”

James rubbed his temples and scrunched up his face.

Everything felt like it was continuing to escalate without affording him a second to gather his thoughts.

At that moment, Tobias entered the room.

Maxine put the bowl aside and bowed slightly. “Grandpa.”

“Mm.”
