Maxine followed closely behind James. After the two left, Tobias walked out of the Cadens’ mansion. He stood at the gates watching the figures of James and Maxine gradually disappear from his view.His wrinkled face gradually darkened as he murmured, “When did this kid’s energy get so strong? Even if he had opened his Governor Vessel, Conception Vessel, and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it's impossible for his True Energy to have gained this amount of power in such a short time.”Tobias was confused and could not come up with a plausible explanation for James’ newfound strength. This left him increasingly anxious and restless. After leaving the Cadens’ mansion, James and Maxine found a secluded place to rest for a while. James sat in the lotus position and circulated his True Energy to quell the Blood Energy in his body.While healing his injury, he asked with his eyes still closed, “Did anything happen in the outside world in the time I stayed with the Grand Patriarch?”“Noth

‘The strong dictate the rules of society, huh?’James repeated Maxine’s words in his heart and felt more convinced as he kept telling himself that.He quickly shook his head and chased that temptation away.Turning to Maxine, he asked curiously, “If it were you, would you want to share your man with other women?”“Me?” Maxine was blindsided by his question.She was not expecting James to direct whatever she said back at her.Ever since she was a child, she grew up in the Caden household and as a result, had been exposed to the rules of the ancient martial world from a young age. Everything in her life had been essentially predetermined. She knew that she was basically a tool to form marriage ties with other families in the future. Marriage was not something that she had given a lot of thought to previously.The only thing she had thought about before was that she would marry a highly capable martial artist.As for what kind of person he was or how many women he had, it was no

James closed his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he answered, “Thea.”She was the sole reason he stood here today.In order to save him, Thea ended up burned and disfigured horribly. That made the next ten years of her life a living hell.Because of her sacrifice, he had sworn to protect Thea for the rest of his life.“Is that so? What about your first love, Quincy? She believed you were alive and waited ten years for you.“As for Tiara, you’ll have to take responsibility for that too. After all, she’s with your child.”“...” Hearing this, James froze instantly. He turned around and stared at Maxine as the color drained from his face. “W-What did you say?”Maxine laughed teasingly and said, “Tiara’s pregnant.”“What?!” James exclaimed in disbelief.“She’s pregnant?”“Yeah. Remember how I pretended to be you at Tiara’s engagement ceremony and took her away? She was overjoyed and told me everything. She planned to have the child by herself, but her family forced her to

After Gloom said his piece to James, he left as quickly as he came.Maxine stayed silent until Gloom was completely out of sight. Then, she asked, “Are we still returning to Cansington?”“Yeah.” James nodded.Tiara’s pregnancy was an important matter that he wanted to confirm with his own eyes.If he held it off, James did not think he would be able to sleep soundly at night.Maxine’s eyes crinkled as she smiled knowingly. “Love is a trivial matter. The country’s affairs are much more important. Didn’t you hear Gloom say that you should act quickly and deal with Mr. Gabriel as soon as possible?”James’ lips curved into a frown and he asked, “Then, should we immediately go for Mr. Gabriel? I had planned to get rid of his closest companions first.”“Don’t.”Maxine shut down his idea immediately and said, “Your ultimate target is Mr.Gabriel, not Madelyn. If you eliminate Madelyn first, you’ll end up giving Mr. Gabriel a heads-up. He’ll then be able to take precautions against any

“Huh?”Tiara raised her head and saw Thea. Panic washed over her as she replied hastily, “I-I’m not doing anything in particular.”Thea put her arms on her hips and looked at Tiara arrogantly. Then, she said disdainfully, “Tiara, you shouldn’t think my husband likes you just because you’ve slept with him once. My husband is a national hero, and it’s not unusual that he’d sleep around with women casually. I advise that you don’t pester him. He doesn’t have time for idle chatter”“I-I’m not pestering him! He was the one who asked me to come to Cansington,” Tiara mumbled softly as she looked down.“Hmph.” Thea snorted dismissively at her and left.Tiara clenched her phone tightly and walked inside with her head still lowered.As soon as she entered the villa, Cynthia pulled her aside and whispered in a concerned voice, “What happened? Is Thea harassing you again?”Tiara shook her head gently and said, “No, she didn’t harass me! Cynthia… I was wondering… Should I not have come back?

James looked curiously at Maxine. For some reason, he felt that Maxine had suddenly changed.Despite her age, she had always been mature, steady, and calm when dealing with things. Yet now, she was acting like a mischievous little girl.“Let’s go. We need to find a place to stay for now. We’ll iron out the details later.”James turned around and left.Meanwhile, a handsome young man was sitting with his legs crossed at Madelyn’s villa in Cansington. He looked at Madelyn, who was engrossed in reading a war novel. With a look of dissatisfaction, he cleared his throat and said, “Madelyn, it’s been more than a month since I’ve come to Cansington. When will you fulfill your promise?”Madelyn put down the book and turned to him with an expression of extreme displeasure. She clicked her tongue. “Didn’t I already give you your money? Just use that to get any type of woman you desire in this city. If you can’t get the woman you want, it just means you don’t have enough yet. How about I g

“Also, I think you should bring Thea to the Capital.“While this is all going on, you’ll have to ensure that everything in Cansington is operating safely. You’ll be fighting in the front line but at the same time, you can’t let your rear end catch on fire. Desperate people will do anything to save themselves when they’re forced into a corner. It’d be best to leave some people from the God-King Palace in Cansington to protect Quincy and the others.”Maxine conducted a simple analysis and carefully presented her thoughts on every part of their plan.“Mhm.” James nodded.It was a well-thought and sensible plan.He picked up the phone and called Blake.“James, it’s good to hear from you, brother! I’ve got good news to share with you. I succeeded in cultivating my True Energy.”Blake’s joyful exclamation was the first thing James heard when he answered the call.James was shocked.Blake progressed at an astonishing speed. He managed to cultivate his True Energy in slightly over a m

Maxine continued. “The only eighth-rank grandmaster we know of is the Great Patriarch of the Blithe family. They’re demonstrating great ambition and will definitely attend this conference. If the Blithes are part of the Gu Sect, that’ll be troublesome for us.”Maxine was worried. James had no supporters.It was not feasible for James to face an entire faction all on his own.“It’s no big deal. The King will lend me a hand if the situation turns dire. After all, it’s a battle between two factions and not mine alone.”“I’m relieved, but…”Maxine glanced at Jams and said, “If the eighth-rank grandmaster doesn’t attend, then the Great Grandmaster will be selected from the seventh-ranked grandmasters. You’ve already stepped into the sixth rank, and with your Invincible Body Siddhi, you have a chance of standing against a seventh-rank grandmaster. There’s a real possibility of you winning the title of the Great Grandmaster. Even if you don’t fight for it, you still have to…”“What
