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?”

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

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

”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

After Thea left, she removed her mask and put it away. Then, she hurriedly returned to the hotel. Upon returning to the hotel, she removed her overcoat and undergarments. Wearing only thin clothing, she leaned on the sofa. She did know whether her actions were appropriate. However, she had no choice. She mistreated James in the past, dismissing all his care and concern for her. She only learned to appreciate everything after she had lost them. Thea wanted to spend the remainder of her life with James. However, he only had the nation in mind. As long as Sol remained in chaos, he would never wholeheartedly devote himself to her and live a secluded and comfortable life with her. For James, she had no choice but to do this. In Cansington… James was in closed-door meditation to refine the Spirit Turtle’s core. As the Spirit Turtle had lived for many thousands of years, its core contained potent and concentrated energy. Even though it was fragmented into eight pieces, it still po
Chapter 1315
Meanwhile, the Three Treasures cultivated while crossing into the seventh rank had gathered too. The Three Treasures and the Five Spirits of the human body were completely regulated. At that moment, the energy in James’ body had reached the zenith. He slowly stood up. Wearing a composed and emotionless expression on his face, he gently murmured, “Finally, I’ve reached the eighth rank.” After being in closed-door meditation for months absorbing the energy of the Spirit Turtle’s core, his True Energy was greatly boosted. Now, he was an eighth-rank grandmaster. He suppressed his energy and walked out of the room. It was now night-time. Many people gathered in the foyer of the building─Cynthia, Quincy, Tiara, and Scarlett. The four of them had some sort of experience with cultivation. For the past few months, they would be practicing and discussing martial art if they were not busy working at the company. “What a powerful aura…” Quincy was stunned. “This is incredible…
Chapter 1316
Almost three months had passed since the Mount Thunder Conference. Those who had obtained the Spirit Turtle’s core should have finished refining it and were about to emerge from hiding to wreak havoc on Sol. Meanwhile, there were only around six months left until the election in October. James would have to resolve everything before then. The women looked at James in anticipation. James, on the other hand, catalyzed Ataraxia and suppressed his desire. Looking at them, he said, “I’m worried that the Capital will descend into chaos. I should leave Cansington and head to the Capital immediately.” “So soon?” Quincy was dismayed. Although James was here for the past two months, he had been in closed-door meditation the entire time and would frequently abstain from eating. There were few opportunities for them to spend time together, so Quincy wanted to use this chance to at least have a meal with him. However, she did not expect him to leave in such a hurry. “Mhm.” James stood up

Thea asked coldly, “How’s the situation?” “Master, apart from the Ancient Four, the Blithes, the Lowes, the Sylvan Sect, the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Mount Thunder Sect, the Five Swirling Blades Sect, and the other powerful families and sects, we have wooed the rest over to our side. Technically, we the Celestial Sect have half of the ancient martial world on our side.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded slightly. She did not sit idly by for the past two months. She intimidated Luca into returning to the Southern Ridge, subdued many powerful outlaws and pariahs, and secretly established the Celestial Sect. For the past two months, the Celestial Sect only grew increasingly stronger. It had begun subduing and taking over many powerful families and sects. The man in front of her was the deputy Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. Kneeling before her, he asked, “Master, please give me your next instruction.” Thea said, “Apart from Lucjan Owen, have no other eighth-rank grandmasters shown thems
