“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?
Chapter 1057
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

James glanced at him and said, “Let’s cut the flattery short. I need you to go on a mission.” Blake immediately straightened up and asked, “What kind of mission is it?”“You were there when I killed the Emperor. He has been secretly researching Gu venom and turned it into a virus to create unkillable superhumans. Now that Madelyn has taken over his job, they must be continuing to research this online. I need you to use the Dark Castle’s influence to locate their new research facilities.”Blake’s expression immediately turned serious as his lips pulled into a thin line. “James, you think too highly of me. The world is such a big place. Where am I going to find them?”James said, “According to our analysis, the research base should not be that far from Sol. It’s probably in a neighboring country, so you should focus your investigation on neighboring countries. The Dark Castle’s network practically encompasses the world. I’m sure it won’t be a big deal for you.”“Alright. I’ll try m

After Thea arrived, the three began discussing their plan.Soon, they were able to iron out the details and start forming a cohesive plan.After spending an entire afternoon discussing it, the plan was tentatively finalized.Now, they had to wait for Blake’s investigation results and ascertain Mr. Gabriel’s whereabouts.Then, after they collected all the information they needed, it would finally be time to put things into action.“That’s it for now.”Maxine sighed in relief and said, “Our operation can only succeed. There isn’t any room for failure. The consequences of failure will be extremely lethal.”James furrowed his brows worriedly as he said, “I still don’t even know what Mr. Gabriel looks like, let alone his whereabouts.”They had everything planned out except for one pretty sizeable bump in the road—who exactly was Mr. Gabriel?Maxine closed her eyes to think before she spoke again, “I’ve never seen him before either. I think the King might have an idea. You should go

James went to the Red Flame Army base.He got off a vehicle at the Red Flame Army military region’s gate.Before he got close to the command center, his path was suddenly blocked.Some fully-armed soldiers pointed the muzzles of their assault rifles at James who was slowly walking toward them.“What’re you doing?”James' face darkened. “Do you know who you’re pointing your guns at?”“Yes, Sir.”A one-star general walked over, stood before James, and saluted him. “You’re the commander of the Black Dragon Army, the Dragon King of the Southern Plains. However, this is the Red Flame Army’s Capital base. You’ve no right to enter, or else you’ll be overstepping your authority. We have the right to stop outsiders from trespassing into our base.”James glanced at the general and asked, “What’s your name?”“Sir, I’m the deputy commander of the Red Flame Army, Nathaniel Carlson,” Nathaniel replied courteously.He did not tell his subordinates to lower their guns despite his respectful

James took the cigarettes with him and left Peace Mansion.After walking out, Gloom chased after him, calling out, “James.”James turned around with his hands in his trouser’s pockets as he asked, “What’s the matter?”Gloom warily surveyed their surroundings, pulled James to a secluded area without guards, and whispered, “The King wishes to know your whole plan.”James looked at him flatly, “I don’t have any concrete plans yet. I’ll think about it after I’m officially the commander of the Red Flame Army.”“What’s wrong? Are you implying that you don’t trust the king?” Gloom furrowed his brows suspiciously.James dismissed his concerns. “Certainly not. Like I said, I just don’t have any solid plans as of yet. This isn’t a simple matter and needs a lot of careful deliberation in order to pull it off. I’ll definitely inform the King after I’ve hashed out the details. Plus, I’ll need the King’s help if the situation demands it.”“You…” Gloom sighed and shot him a resigned look.Jam
