Chapter 1306
Strong desires emerged when James began absorbing and refining the Spirit Turtle’s core. Immediately, he stopped in time. After a brief moment, he pulled his phone out and called Thea, who was on her way to the airport. Seeing that James called her, she murmured, “Did something happen?” “So this is what happened, Thea. While I was absorbing the Spirit Turtle’s core, my blood churned, and powerful desires began appearing in my mind. I believe it’s the same thing as your Spirit Turtle blood, so I’d like you to send me the Ataraxia that you cultivate. I hope that it can negate the negative impact of the cultivation,” James explained. “Sure,” Thea said, “I’ll send it to you once I’ve made the necessary arrangements.” “Got it.” James hung up the phone. Meanwhile, after thinking for a moment, Thea typed down the cultivation method of Ataraxia and sent it to James. After receiving the message, he began researching Ataraxia. Once he finished looking through it, he was lost in t

“Oh? Cooperation?” Yasmine Lee, Matriarch of the Lees glanced at Maxine and smirked, “How do you plan to cooperate with us?” Maxine said, “The Ancient Four should technically be secluded from the outside world, but the fact of the matter is we are all involved in business dealings with the outside world. As far as I know, the Lees’ businesses have been making losses recently. Although the risk of bankruptcy is minimal, it’s apparent that your businesses are currently facing a liquidity crunch.” “Hmph!” Yasmine smiled slightly. “The Lees have never concerned ourselves with the business dealings with the outside world. Besides, we’re not short of money. We have accumulated a great fortune over the past few years. Even if all of our businesses go bankrupt, we can still survive for centuries.” At that moment, Maxine’s phone rang. “Excuse me for a moment.” Maxine pulled out her phone and walked somewhere else. Seeing that it was Thea who called, she murmured, “What’s wrong, Thea
Chapter 1308
Thea’s words sent a shiver down Maxine’s spine. She did not expect Thea to say such a thing. “Thea?” She looked at her, puzzled. Thea smiled. “I was just kidding. But Maxine, you have to work harder. Enemies on all sides surround James. He can only live in peace only when everything is resolved. Otherwise, he won’t be able to live a comfortable life.” “I know.” Maxine did not think much about Thea’s remarks. Instead, she said dejectedly, “I really want to help James. I really tried... But I’m too weak. No one in the Cadens will willingly accept me as family head. There’s also Luca to worry about…” Maxine sighed deeply. Thea remained silent. Although she disliked Maxine, she knew that Maxine was an intelligent woman. With her help, James would be able to have breathing room. Besides, she could tell that Maxine had a crush on James. As long as Maxine was able to secure her position as the family head, they should be able to win over many sects and families of the ancient mart

“Luca Caden?” Noah froze. “Mhm.” Thea nodded. “I want to know everything about him before sunset. You’re dismissed.” “Understood.” Noah did not linger for long and turned to leave. Once he left the hotel room, his body went limp. After a long while, he stood up wearing a grim expression. He was weighing his options and whether he should reveal Thea’s orders to the Leader. However, after thinking about it, he believed that this should not be anything serious. Thus, he decided against telling him. Then, he swiftly left and began investigating Luca Caden. Meanwhile, Thea waited in the hotel. Noah was efficient. Soon, he returned. “Young Mistress, here’s everything you need.” Thea took the documents and scrutinized them. Luca Caden was a son of Bennett Caden and an uncle of Thomas and Tobias. After failing to compete against Lorenzo for the position of Patriarch, he left the Capital when he was defeated and had only returned recently. The information showed that Luc
Chapter 1310
The Cadens were all Luca’s confidants, whom he brought from the Caden household in the Southern Ridge. They accompanied him to the Southern Ridge after he failed to seize the position of Patriarch long ago. Some were Cadens from the Capital who were led by Karson Caden. They were displeased with Maxine being the family head. That was why they followed Luca. Around thirty of them gathered and discussed how best to deal with Maxine and expel her from the Cadens. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the door open. Many looked at the opened door with puzzled expressions on their faces. Just as a Caden youth was about to close the door… Swish! The youth staggered back and fell. “A ghost!” he screamed. A ghost-masked person appeared outside the door. The ghost mask was covered with blood, which would petrify anyone who took a glimpse of it. Meanwhile, the ghost-masked person was wearing a black overcoat, while holding a long sword in her hand. “Who dares intrude on the Cadens?”
Chapter 1311
Then, Luca roared in laughter at the ignorance of the person before him. At the same time, it was a self-deprecating laugh. So long had he concealed himself from the world that even petty, insignificant people were ordering him to submit to them. In an instant, his face darkened, and he raised his hand to point his finger at Thea. “Allow me to see if you have what it takes to make me submit to you.” The moment he finished uttering those words, the four experts under his command stepped forward. They were all sixth-rank grandmasters. When they combined forces, they were as powerful as any seventh-rank grandmasters out there. Four waves of energy struck. “Die,” Thea spoke in a hoarse voice. Raising the Malevolent Sword, horrifying Sword Energy burst forth. In an instant, the windows shattered and the Cadens were sent flying. Meanwhile, the four experts could not even approach Thea. Even Luca was stunned. The awe-inspiring power induced fear in his heart, which completely de
Chapter 1312
In a green space beside a road in the suburbs of the Capital… A person wearing a hideous-looking mask and a black overcoat tossed an elderly man aside casually. The elderly man was Luca. He collapsed heavily to the ground. Looking at Thea who was standing before him, his shriveled face darkened. “Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” Luca was fearful for his life. Faced with the formidable Thea, he had no wish to fight against her. He did not know who the person before him was nor the reason why he or she brought him here. He could only feel his blood run cold as shivers ran down his spine. Glaring at Luca, Thea’s blood began to stabilize. She knew exactly what she was doing. “Luca, you only have two options: Die or follow my commands.” Thea purposefully spoke in a hoarse voice to confuse Luca. “At least let me know who you are…” However, before he could finish his sentence, an ice-cold sword was pressed against his neck. “You aren’t worthy of knowing.” Luca wa
Chapter 1313
”Luca…” Upon seeing Luca return, many wore smiles on their faces. Luca looked at Maxine before glancing at the Cadens who were present. One of the four experts stepped forward and asked, “Sir, who was the one who took you away?” Luca waved his hand slightly and interrupted him. He remained silent while looking at Maxine. Then, he walked over to her and stopped in front of her. Sensing that something was not quite right with Luca, Maxine unconsciously stood up and staggered backward. “Wh-What are you trying to do?” “Haha!” Suddenly, Luca burst into a peal of laughter. This puzzled Maxine. “Maxine Caden, you’ll be the family head of the Cadens from today onwards,” Luca said. Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. “What do you mean, Grand Patriarch Luca?” “You can’t make a compromise with her. How can a young girl like her be the family head?” “If you compromise, the Cadens will be doomed.” Many cried out. Luca turned and looked at them, saying, “Cadens of t
