Chapter 1273
In the Capital, dozens of people were gathered in the meeting room in the Cadens’ mansion.Maxine sat in the lead. She wore a golden robe, and her long hair was tied up, revealing her facial features. She had pearl and flower accessories in her hair and was wearing light makeup that made her look incredibly charismatic.“Dear family members, the main purpose of gathering everyone here today is to discuss the follow-up matters of the Cadens. Bennett, our Grand Patriarch, has been attacked by our family head, Tobias, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. Next, we have two important things to do. First, find the Grand Patriarch, Bennett, as soon as possible. Second, find the family head, Tobias, to get to the truth of this matter as soon as possible.”Maxine’s voice resounded.Dozens of people were gathered in the meeting room, but no one responded to her.None of these people accepted Maxine as their family head.In their eyes, Maxine was of low status and considered a ser

Gloom was shocked by the news.Maxine as the family head?As the King’s personal bodyguard, Gloom had a strong intelligence network in the Capital. Although he did not have complete information on the affairs of the major families in the Capital, he practically knew almost everything. Thus, he knew that Maxine was not blood-related to the Cadens.He could not believe that Maxine was the family head.After a momentary shock, he looked at Maxine and asked, “Why are you telling me all these things? Could it be that the Cadens are refusing to acknowledge you as the family head? Do you want to use the King’s power to strengthen your position in the Cadens?”Maxine smiled.Dealing with intelligent people saved a lot of hassle.“It’ll be a mutually beneficial cooperation. As long as I remain the head of the Cadens, I’ll stand by the King’s side and become his most loyal partner.” Maxine thought for a while and asked, “By the way, does the King have a candidate in mind for the new King

Maxine had never thought of becoming the family head.Now that she was appointed, she had to start thinking about her way forward.No matter what Lorenzo’s purpose was in making her the family head, she had to do something to strengthen her position.She headed to meet Yaroslav.Meanwhile, James had already boarded a private military plane back to Cansington.On the plane, Thea kept holding on to a black sword.James frowned and asked, “Is this the Malevolent Sword that Grandpa mentioned?”“Yeah.” Thea nodded.James continued, “Grandpa said that this was a wretched sword that would enchant a person’s heart. It would control its wielder.”“No.” Thea shook her head firmly.Thomas said holding the sword would cause one to develop the desire to kill.However, she did not have that desire.Thea looked at James and explained, “Honey, it’s not a wretched sword. Swords aren’t alive, so how can they be wretched? What’s wretched is the human heart. I’m holding the sword, but I don’t

Before they knew it, they had arrived in the Cansington Military Region.When James boarded the plane, the Capital Military Region had already contacted and notified them of James’ arrival.Before the plane landed, the Blithe King was already ready, waiting with a group of people.The plane landed, the cabin door opened, and James’ party walked out.The Blithe King and his subordinates walked over. “James…”James heard the Blithe King’s voice upon alighting the plane.The Blithe King approached James and said with a bright smile, “Welcome back to Cansington, James!”The Blithe King had also heard about the situation at the Mount Thunder Conference.The situation was dire, and he thought James was in danger, but here he was, returning in one piece.“Yadiel, come quickly and meet Mr. Caden,” the Blithe King called a young man behind him.Behind him, a young man in his early twenties stepped forward and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Caden.”The young man, who was dressed

Thea was slightly disappointed.She could not understand James. These people were merely friends. Yet, instead of returning to the Callahans first, he would rather see them before anything else.Although she was upset, she remained silent.A military vehicle drove up to her, and a soldier got out. He saluted and shouted, “Dragon King, please get into the vehicle. I’ll send you back.”“Mhm.” James did not refuse and got into the car.The military vehicle sent James to the villa district where Cynthia’s villa was located.Soon, they appeared at the door of Cynthia’s villa.James rang the doorbell.Soon, the door opened, and several women rushed out the door toward the gate.The iron gate swung open.“James!”“James…”Quincy, Tiara, and Cynthia looked at James with joy.They thought James would not make it back for New Year’s and were worried about his safety.Surprisingly, James returned before New Year’s.“James, quick, come in.” Cynthia invited James into the villa.Jam

Callan began to explain the benefits of the core.“Generally speaking, animals that live longer will grow biles. These biles are excellent tonics for martial artists. After consuming them, a martial artist’s strength will increase significantly.“As for their cores, it’s much more beneficial than biles.”“I haven’t come across an animal’s core before, but I’ve seen them in records.”Meanwhile, a black vehicle drove slowly on the roads of the suburbs of Cansington.“Finn, is this reliable news?” A voice sounded in the car.A man in his forties leaned back in the passenger seat. He was wearing a black coat and had thick eyebrows and big eyes.“Finn, this isn’t child’s play. We might die if we fail.”The man leaning back in the passenger seat sat straight and replied seriously, “Whether it’s reliable or not, we have to try it. Over the years, the three of us have been constantly hunted down. It’s our chance to rise.”As he said that, he looked at the man driving the car and asked

Hearing this, Cynthia handed the core back to James. “You should have this back, James. It sounds precious. I can’t afford to break it.”James took it and put it away.“By the way, tomorrow is New Year’s. Where are you planning to celebrate, James?” Quincy changed to the subject and looked at James eagerly.“My house, of course.” Thea cast a glance at Quincy and took James’ hand. She raised her head proudly as if she was announcing that James was her man and that Quincy should not even think about it.James did not want to return to the Callahans because they were power-hungry.“I won’t return to the Callahans’ mansion,” said James.“Why?” Thea was immediately displeased.James said, “Regarding our official status, we’re divorced, so it’s unsuitable for me to return to the Callahans’ mansion. I plan to look for Newton and spend New Year’s with him.”James had plans to look for Newton.The main reason was that he wanted to learn some inside stories from thirty years ago.Newto

After walking out the villa gate, Thea held her sword in one hand and held on tightly to James’ hand in the other.She was afraid that James would run away.Behind them, Callan asked, “By the way, James, where do you plan for me to stay? You can’t seriously be bringing me to the Callahans’ villa, right?”James stopped.He had yet to consider where to arrange for Callan to stay because his identity was relatively unique.Callan was the Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect, and the Deputy Commander, Lucjan, was rebelling.Lucjan had secretly bribed most of the strong men from the Gu Sect.The next step was to take over the sect completely. Lucjan would not rest until Callan was dead. He would keep sending people after his life, or he might even personally take action.James thought for a while and said, “You can follow me for now.”“Are you not afraid that Lucjan’s people would come knocking at your door? He might even personally come after me.”James smiled and said, “You’ve gotten
