He would be defeated if the battle persisted. However, Donovan had lost all fighting spirit.
Seeing that James was charging toward him, his face paled, and virtual-novel.net staggered backward.
“Save me, Grand Patriarch!”
His cry reverberated throughout Mount Littleroot as Donovan began calling for help.
Seeing this, James’ heart skipped a beat. He knew that Donovan was begging for help, so virtual-novel.net had to kill virtual-novel.net as soon as possible. Thankfully, virtual-novel.net was disguised as someone else, or else virtual-novel.net would incur the wrath of the Blithes after this was over. Even if virtual-novel.net killed Donovan, the Blithes would never know who the culprit was.
As these thoughts flashed across his mind, virtual-novel.net swiftly charged at Donovan.
Raising his hand, strong True Energy gathered in his palm.
“Such audacity to act so insolently on Mount Littleroot… What do you take the Blithes for?”
Just as James’ fist was about to make contact with Donovan, a voice boomed and reverberated throughout the mountains. Then, powerful energy burst into the sky and pierced through the clouds. It eroded the cloud pattern and drastically changed the landscape of the sky.
“What?” Everyone was stunned.
“Eighth rank?”
The powerful aura sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
This was an energy that could only be exuded by an eighth-rank martial artist, which they did not expect the Blithes to have. After all, even in history, only a handful of martial artists could reach such a rank.
Just as James was about to deal the death blow, a terrifying pressure came crushing on him. As if there was a huge rock on his chest, virtual-novel.net had trouble breathing. However, virtual-novel.net remained composed.
Not too far away, Thomas silently wore a mask. He knew virtual-novel.net had to act. If not, James, Maxine, and Thea would perish here. However, just as virtual-novel.net was about to step forward, the powerful energy dissipated.
Then, a voice came. “For that person’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook. Scram…”
James breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing at Donovan, virtual-novel.net smiled. “Till we meet again, patriarch of the Blithes. I hope you won’t antagonize me in the future. Or else…”
After leaving this remark, James left.
The moment virtual-novel.net turned, virtual-novel.net murmured, “For that person’s sake? Who was virtual-novel.net referring to?”
Then, virtual-novel.net saw Maxine and Thea. Their gazes met. Without saying a single word, James simply left.
Meanwhile, Thea and Maxine looked at one another. Then, they hastily left too.
Thomas removed his mask and glanced at the mountain behind the Blithes’ villa.
A grin crept up on his face before virtual-novel.net left as well.
Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his legs were shivering. Flynn walked over to virtual-novel.net and helped virtual-novel.net up.
“Are you alright, Father?”
“I’m fine…” Donovan waved his hand slightly, then, his face darkened.
“Find out who that elderly man is. I’ll pay virtual-novel.net back dearly for what virtual-novel.net did to me!”
“Understood.” Flynn nodded.

At the same time, at the mountain behind the Blithes’ villa…
There was a simple wooden house here.
With an apathetic look on his face, Thomas walked toward the wooden house and sat on a wooden chair at the doorstep.
Quite impressive, Winston Blithe. That eighth-rank performance intimidated quite a few…
