Chapter 1073
The Callahans were shocked by the news that Tommy had shared.Lex and Howard took out their phones simultaneously and searched for the news.Their jaws dropped as they watched the morning news.“Hurry up. Call and gather the whole family. I need to hold a family meeting,” Lex immediately gave an order.Howard quickly headed to do as told.In less than half an hour, all the family members were gathered in the Callahans’ villa.Howard, John, and Benjamin’s families were present.“Dad, what happened?” Gladys, who had heavy makeup on and wore a branded dress, sat down with dissatisfaction. “I already invited some other ladies to play poker together.”Since the rise of Thea, Gladys’ status in the Callahans had been growing continuously.Benjamin’s status had also improved.In the past, he never had the guts to say anything during family meetings, but this time, he asked, “Dad, did something happen for you to call everyone here?Lex asked excitedly, “Benjamin, Gladys. Is Thea stil

Lex stood up immediately and announced excitedly, “I announce that the Callahans will sell off all our properties in Cansington and enter the Capital! From this moment onward, the Callahans are officially a wealthy and powerful family in this world!”Clap! Clap! Clap!The Callahans applauded excitedly and shouted their praises.In the Emperor’s Mansion at the Capital, Thea overheard Lex’s voice through the phone and frowned. “Grandpa, what are you doing? We’ve been doing well in Cansington. Why would you want to come to the Capital? The Capital is a dangerous place. Please don’t come.”The Callahans had finally taken root in Cansington after developing for a few decades.Thea did not want Lex to bring the whole family to the Capital.Although the Capital was the Imperial City, Cansington was not bad either.Cansington had Transgenerational New City, and a new city was being built in the suburbs.It was about to become an international city. Moreover, the Callahans had been deve
Chapter 1075
After the Callahans learned that James was succeeding the position of Emperor in three days, they became incredibly high-profile.Meanwhile, Yaroslav had gone to seek his leader.However, he did not even get to see him.Yaroslav was unsure why the leader refused to see him now but made a guess that he had been abandoned and was to become a sacrifice just like the Emperor.He refused to give up and die like this.After returning to his courtyard, he immediately called Madelyn.“Come to the Capital right now.”Madelyn never returned to Cansington. Instead, she was trying to find out the identity of the person helping Mr. Gabriel but to no avail. After receiving the call, she hurriedly headed over.Yaroslav fueled his coal fire inside a room of the courtyard house while Madelyn stood aside respectfully. “Mr. Gabriel.”Yaroslav looked at Madelyn and asked, “You didn’t return to Cansington?”Madelyn nodded and said, “Yeah. There’s more to James than the surface. The Emperor fought

Madelyn was lost in thought.After a while, she said, “Sir, what did the upper-ups says about your survival?”“They didn’t say much, except that I could live if I found a way to survive.”Madelyn nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll stir up the situation. As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of the Mount Thunder Conference, we can buy as much time as possible. The conference is only less than a month away.”Yaroslav asked, “Is there anything I can do?”Madelyn said thoughtfully, “There’s a way. James must’ve gotten the King’s permission to kill you. However, the King fears that the situation will get out of control after you die. This is the only reason he hasn’t touched you all these years. Since he’s allowed James to kill you, he won’t be providing him any help. Judging by how Maxine was expelled to help James, the people supporting James are the Cadens.“That cunning man, Tobias, knows the severity of the situation and doesn’t dare to act rashly. Thus, their plan w
Chapter 1077
Only a few reliable people knew about James’ strength.It was unlikely that Mr. Gabriel would feel threatened if he did not know about his strength.Thus, James felt that Mr. Gabriel would simply ignore him.Maxine thought about it carefully and felt that James’ logic made sense.If she were Mr. Gabriel and knew James was not strong, she would not pay attention to him either. Even if James had authority, he was not going to be much of a threat.“I was worrying too much.” Maxine did not say anything more. She continued eating her nuts as she entered the house.“Honey…” Thea was hesitant to speak.James asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you hesitating?”Thea thought about it and felt that she should tell James about what was happening in Cansington to prevent him from blaming her for it in the future.Thea murmured, “The Callahans found out about your appointment as the Emperor and are planning to hold a banquet in Cansington on the day of your succession ceremony. They want to

However, Maxine could not figure it out.“How would I know?” Thea shook her head.She, too, was unsure of Thomas’ intentions.All she knew was that everything was not to harm but to help James.“Is that so? Then, have you ever felt that Thomas is the one behind everything?”“What do you mean?” Thea looked at Maxine.Maxine thought for a while and said, “Le’s start from when James killed the previous Emperor. Once he died, the Cadens and the Johnstons’ conflict began, but they didn’t completely fall out with each other. Shortly after, the Johnstons and Sullivans' paintings were suddenly stolen, causing them to take action against the Cadens. Then, the Lees surfaced claiming that their painting was also stolen, pointing their fingers at the Cadens too.”“What does this have to do with Sir Caden?” Thea asked indifferently.“Haven’t you thought about the possibility the three families didn’t lie, and their paintings were really stolen, and the culprit could be Thomas? His purpose i

Meanwhile, James was fast asleep.On the other hand, Yaroslav was busy running around for help.First, he went to the Johnstons with Madelyn.Hades, the current head of the Johnstons, was seated in the front seat in the living room of the Johnstons’ villa. He was dressed in casual clothes. He held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip. Then, he glanced at Yaroslav, who was sitting in front of him and said, “Mr. Gabriel, we’re not acquainted. So, what’s the purpose of your visit today?”Yaroslav was seated while Madelyn quietly stood aside.He asked with a smile, “Fire God, you must still be unaware of what the Cadens are up to, right?”Hades was nicknamed the Fire God because of the True Energy he cultivated.He asked casually, “What are the Cadens up to?”Yaroslav said, “James has assumed the title of Emperor.”“I know. It isn’t a big deal. The Emperor is dead, and it’s only natural for the King to push him into the position. However, I didn’t expect it to happen so late,”

Seeing Hades’ expression, Yaroslav struck while the iron was hot and said, “The Ancient Four have already fallen out, and Tobias is pushing James out right now to get rid of the other three families before the Mount Thunder Conference. Tobias has already allied with the King. The Cadens will help the King eliminate dissidents and consolidate his position.”Bang!Hades slammed the table, causing it to break.He said furiously, “Never! The Johnstons will never fall prey to the Cadens! I’d like to see if James has the ability to touch the Johnstons!”An imperceptible smile formed on Yaroslav’s face, and he continued, “Hades, the three families have to unite to protect each other. I came here for the sole purpose of uniting the three families and dealing with James. We must deal a blow to the Cadens by capturing James alive and forcing him to hand over the painting’s secret.”The suggestion slightly tempted Hades.However, he did not agree to it immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ya
