Chapter 1493
Under the crushing weight of the pressure, everyone struggled to breathe. Only James could resist Tobias’ suffocating aura. Maxine, however, could not withstand the pressure. She could feel her knees giving way. Thump! Unable to resist the pressure any longer, her knees fell to the ground. The impact damaged even the floor. Maxine’s face paled, and sweat beaded on her forehead. She uttered her words with great difficulty, “Wh-What do you think you’re doing, Tobias? Do you think you can subdue us through sheer violence alone? The Cadens will never yield to the likes of you!” “Hmph!” Tobias smirked. “I’m the family head of the Cadens. Why would I subdue my own family? I guess I was wrong about you, Maxine. Though I treated you well, you harmed Grandfather and concocted such a lie while I was in closed-door meditation. You even shifted the blame on me so you could become the family head. Do you admit your sins?” He pointed at Maxine, who was kneeling. “Grand Patriarch Lore
Chapter 1494
Tobias had the intention to kill. He would eradicate anyone who stood in his way, even his own father. Although he was now slightly deranged, he had yet to lose his rationality. He warned Lorenzo against interfering in the household’s affairs. “I won’t be compromising, I’m afraid.” Lorenzo was not intimidated at all. He sat in his wheelchair and pointed at Maxine, saying, “I named Maxine the family head, hence she’ll be the family head. Tobias, you’ve been expelled from the family. You’re no longer a Caden. Get out of my sight this instant.” “I warned you…” In the blink of an eye, Tobias appeared before Lorenzo. However, at that moment, a figure appeared by the door. Upon seeing the figure, Tobias’ face paled as if he had seen a ghost. Staggering backward, he stammered, “Y-You…! H-How can this be?” Tobias could not believe his eyes. An elderly man slowly walked in. He was none other than Bennett, the person with the greatest authority in the household and an eighth-rank g

Meanwhile, Lorenzo’s wheelchair levitated in the air. Bennett began fighting against Tobias. “Hahaha… What a show!”At that moment, a voice boomed, and an elderly man appeared at the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard.It was Thomas Caden.At that moment, his white hair was gone, and he now looked much more youthful. His looks seemed to have reverted to when he was young.Thomas sat on the topmost point of the Cadens’ courtyard and watched the battle between Tobias and Bennett, saying, “I thought they would have better behaved now that they’re all grown-up. Why do they have to resort to violence? Can’t they sit down and discuss things in a civilized manner?”“Grandpa!”Upon seeing Thomas, a smile crept up on James’ face. His grandfather was nowhere to be seen all this while. He appeared once when they were in Durandal. However, he hurriedly left after making a brief appearance. “Are you guys still going at it?” Seeing that the battle continued to rage on, Thomas sho

Before James could ask Thomas any questions, he was gone without a trace. After Thomas left, Bennett walked over to James and looked where Thomas had just been while murmuring silently, “He has grown even stronger now.”Bennett was an eighth-rank grandmaster. Despite using his full strength, Thomas easily deflected his attack. He found it hard to imagine just how strong Thomas currently was.“It seems that the rumors are true. Thomas got the most out of the Spirit Turtle.”James shrugged. He really was speechless when it came to his grandfather who would briefly show himself before leaving in a hurry. “Thank goodness for Thomas.” Maxine sighed. “If not for him arriving in the nick of time, the Cadens’ residence would’ve been wiped off the map.” James looked at Bennett and asked, “Are you alright, Grand Patriarch?” Bennett waved his hand slightly and said, “My Blood Energy churned a little just now. But, I should be fine. I just need a little rest.” Maxine began ordering

Levitating while constantly rotating in mid-air, he exuded a terrifying aura. Meanwhile, there was also a glamorous-looking woman in the underground basement. She was Yasmine Lee, the current family head of the Lees. She had been waiting for him for quite some time. However, Xavi continued minding his own business and showed no signs of noticing her. Hence, she could only stand there and wait silently. After approximately half an hour, the energy enveloping Xavi dissipated, and he slowly descended to the ground. At that moment, he seemed much more youthful than he had been during the Mount Thunder Conference.Opening his eyes, he stood up and looked at Yasmine before him, saying, “I told you not to interrupt me unless the situation’s dire while I’m in closed-door meditation.”“Grand Patriarch…”Yasmine hung her head.“The situation is indeed dire. As I’m currently at a loss, I came here to seek your advice.”“Speak.”Yasmine narrated the chain of events that unfolded to him
Chapter 1498
Being recognized as the most powerful individual in the world was meaningless. However, since antiquity, countless risked their lives for this vanity title. Xavi wanted to become the best in the world. He wanted to stand at the very top and look down on others. However, there were too many powerful martial artists out there. Hence, he could only keep a low profile and bide his time for now. Meanwhile, after receiving Xavi’s orders, Yasmine swiftly went about making the necessary arrangements. She immediately contacted Maxine and told her that the Lees intended to sell all of their businesses in the outside world. “What?! You’re dumping everything?” Upon hearing this, Maxine was stunned. The Lee family was one of the Ancient Four. Over the past century, they had accumulated a great fortune through their lucrative businesses. Besides, the backbone of Sol’s economy was in the hands of Orient Commerce, which was dominated by the Lees. “Mhm.” Yasmine nodded and said, “A storm is

“James…” Upon seeing James, Delilah greeted him sweetly and asked, “What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?” “A glass of water, please.” James took a seat. Maxine simply cut to the chase and said, “Just a moment ago, Yasmine Lee, family head of the Lees, came looking for me. She told me that the Lee family intends to sell all of their businesses to the Cadens. Also, they plan to leave the Capital and find a secluded spot to live off the remainder of their lives.” James asked puzzledly, “What? They’re going into seclusion at such a time?” Maxine said, “I think they’re afraid of getting involved in the power struggle. They’re a big family with hundreds of members, after all. If they chose the wrong side, the consequences would be disastrous. They might even be annihilated. That’s why they plan to leave the Capital.” James asked, “What kind of businesses do the Lees have?” Maxine said, “Though I don’t know the specifics, I heard that the Lees have a commercial bank an

“That’s them, alright,” Maxine nodded and said. “That’s great!” Quincy was exhilarated. As she had been interacting with many influential figures in the Capital, she knew about Orient Commerce and the authority it wielded. The backbone of the Solean economy was in the hands of Orient Commerce, which the Lee family dominated.“James, you have to take over the Lees’ businesses no matter the cost!”Quincy said excitedly, “Now that the Chamber of Commerce has been established, the Dawn family of the north and many other businesses have joined us. However, as the founder, we have to demonstrate strength. If we can take over the Lees’ businesses, our reputation and prestige will spread far and wide.”Quincy began weighing the pros and cons.James knew little about this. He was in deep contemplation over how to successfully take over the Lees’ businesses.Soon, they arrived.A twenty-year-old-looking woman answered the door. As she was in the comfort of her own home, she was dressed
