Thea, who was disguised as Tobias, asked, "Was James the one who called?"
"Yup."
Maxine nodded and said, "James asked us to return to Cansington at once.He'll be there shortly.He must be worried
that we might be seen by the Blithes, which would certainly complicate things."
"In that case, we should leave." Thea nodded.
"Alright."
They headed to the airport.
Meanwhile, James headed to the suburbs.
After finding a desolate place, he removed the human mask on his face.
Then, he took off his jacket and put on a vest before returning to the city.He bought a plane ticket to Cansington.

Tobias was sitting in a lotus position in a cultivation room in the courtyard.
A voice came from outside.
"Patriarch, there’s news from Mount Littleroot of the Western Border."
"Speak."
Sitting in a lotus position, Tobias opened his eyes.
"Maxine appeared at Mount Littleroot.However, someone impersonating you appeared and confronted Donovan
Blithe.He even used the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.In the end, however, no fight broke out between them.An
unknown elderly man then suddenly appeared and fought against Donovan.However, Donovan stood no chance
against the old man and was forced to beg for the Blithes’ Grand Patriarch to save him.
"Then, the Blithes’ Grand Patriarch exuded a powerful aura that intimidated al] the martial artists who were
present.He has now reached the eighth rank."
The man by the door narrated the chain of events.
"Someone impersonated me and tried to save James? A mysterious old man beat Donovan to a pulp? The Blithes
now have an eighth- rank martial artist?" иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмTobias’ expression was grim.
"Yes"
"I see...You’re dismissed."
"Understood."
The person by the door left.
Meanwhile, Tobias sat on the floor in a lotus position, pensive.
"Who was the one who impersonated me? There aren’t many in the household who cultivates the Thirteen
Heavenly Swords.Who could it be?
"Who's the elderly man who fought against Donovan Blithe? "Is there really an eighth-rank martial artist in the
Blithe family?"
Tobias murmured.He had underestimated the severity of the situation.

Thinking about this, Tobias took a deep breath.
"Bighth-rank...This is unbelievable...I have to tell grandfather about this."
Tobias got up, left the cultivation room, and headed deeper into the courtyard.
The Cadens’ mansion was huge, and there was a bamboo house in the deepest part of the courtyard.It was a
restricted area of the Cadens’ mansion, where no disciples were allowed to enter.
Any trespassers would be severely punished.
Tobias walked over to the bamboo house and greeted respectfully, "Grandfather, I, Tobias, would like to have an
audience with you."
Creak...
The door opened, and Tobias walked in.
The furnishings inside the bamboo house were simple.
There was only a single bed.
On the floor was an eighty-year-old-looking man.His hair was white, and his skin was shriveled.He was Tobias’
grandfather, Bennett Caden—the person with the highest status in the family.
