James said, “I’m going back to Cansington to take a look.”He promised Thea that he would go see Winnie frequently.However, it had been more than six months since he had last seen her. Winnie was already a year old. If there was nothing out of the ordinary, she should be able to walk by now.‘I wonder if Winnie knows how to say “dad”.’A blissful expression spread across James’ face as soon as he thought of Winnie.At the same time, he missed Thea. Over six months had passed, and he had no idea how she was doing.“Alright. You should go back to Cansington, then. I’ll return to the Southern Plains,” Delainey said, nodding.Following that, James and Delainey part ways. He left for Cansington, while Delainey brought the Black Eagle King back with her to the Southern Plains.After half a day, James appeared at the Callahans’ villa in Cansington.Over the last six months, the Callahan family had grown increasingly powerful in Sol, in terms of both financial prowess and overall str
James was not especially concerned about Winnie’s safety.Given that almost all martial artists around the world had learned of the impending apocalypse, they were all currently putting their efforts into practicing martial arts in order to deal with the approaching apocalypse. No one was out to make trouble.He just thought that he was not a competent father.After saying goodbye to the Callahan family, he did not stay any longer and quickly left Cansington for Dragonville in the Southern PlainsMeanwhile, in Tacriyrus...Tacriyrus was a country established by Sky.Sky wished to establish a capital as well as a prosperous dynasty that would last for thousands of years.Maxine had been assisting him for over a year. During this period of over a year, Tacriyrus developed rapidly. With Maxine’s help, it conquered many neighboring countries using tactics, sly maneuvers, or brute force.Right now, Tacriyrus covered a sizable area.In the palace’s backyard in Tacriyrus, Maxine was
“I’ve heard that during this time, you’ve been keeping an eye on James. What are you up to?”Maxine cast a glance at him and said, “You don’t have to worry about that.”Sky looked at her with deep affection. “Where do I fall short of James?”“In every respect.” Maxine finished her sentence, walked around Sky, and then left, soon disappearing from Sky’s view.Sky’s face gradually turned solemn.At this point, James had already returned to Dragonville in the Southern Plains.Dragonville was rapidly developing. Quincy had brought a large amount of money to Dragonville. With her assistance, Dragonville was rapidly growing. In less than ten years, a country truly for humanity would be established.As for other things, they were managed by other people. There was Henry, the Elite Eight at the Dragon Palace’s upper management, Blake Davis, and others.James did not have to worry about Dragonville for the time being, so he arrived at Mt. Thunder Pass once again. This time, he brought
Maxine stated her name.As the guards of the Callahan family, it was impossible for them not to know about Floret Palace’s Maxine. She was not only the Master of Floret Palace but also Tacriyrus’ Chancellor. She was also very powerful in her own right.Aside from that, all the guards of the Callahan family were aware that Maxine was once a Caden family member and was quite close to James.“So it’s the Master of Floret Palace. Are you visiting the Callahans’ villa for a specific reason?” The guards treated Maxine with great respect once they learned who she was.“Here’s the thing. James is worried about Winnie staying at the Callahans’ villa, so he came to me specifically and requested that I pick her up,” Maxine spoke softly. Her tone was very calm.“I see. Come in, then.”The guard did not stop her and motioned for her to proceed, allowing Maxine into the Callahans’ villa.It was nighttime. Almost everyone in the Callahan family was awake. When Maxine appeared in the Callahans’
Maxine got to her feet slowly as well. She looked at Gladys, who was holding Winnie, and said with a cold, detached look on her face, “Give me the child?”Gladys took a few steps back.In a flash, Maxine appeared in front of Gladys. Before Gladys could even react, the child in her arms was already taken by Maxine.“Wahhh.” After being taken away, the child immediately burst out in tears.With Winnie in her arms, Maxine quickly left the Callahans’ villa.The Callahan family members, on the other hand, were as pale as ghosts.“What are we going to do?”“What exactly is Maxine up to?”All of the Callahan family members were in a state of panic. Only Lex managed to regain his composure and called James immediately.“It’s not good, James. Winnie was taken by Maxine.” James was hastily making his way to Southern Plains’ Dragonville at this precise moment. When he heard that, his heart swelled with intense rage.“I-I’m rushing over to Cansington.”He traveled quickly, and he soon
James hastily made his way to the Callahans’ villa.As soon as he entered the villa, he asked anxiously, “Winnie? Where’s Winnie?”He was aware that Winnie had been taken, but his mind was clouded by his worry for her.The entire Callahan family remained silent.James plopped himself down on the sofa. He pulled out his phone again and called Maxine.Meanwhile, in Cansington, Maxine was standing on the top of a building. From here, she could see the Callahans’ villa. Behind her stood a few men.“Chancellor, they’ve been escorted out of Cansington,” said the person behind her.“Alright.” Maxine nodded softly and said, “Pass down the order to take good care of the child. Don’t let the child suffer any harm.”“Yes.”Right then, her phone started to ring. Remaining calm and collected, she answered it.Over the phone, James’ roar could be heard, “Maxine, what exactly are you trying to do?”His voice was so loud that Maxine’s eardrums went numb. She held the phone away slightly. Ma
James had been waiting to hear from Henry.However, even after Henry made use of the God-King system in Sol, he could not track down Winnie. Maxine seemed to have anticipated all of this from the start. Winnie left Cansington, and they lost track of her after that.Right now, James could only wait. He had to wait until he saw Maxine.After eight o’clock in the morning, Maxine called.“Go to Cynthia’s house.”After saying that, she hung up. James, on the other hand, immediately went out and hurried over to Cynthia’s residence in Cansington.Cynthia has spent most of the last few years in Cansington. She did not move around either.A few years ago, James gifted her the dragon’s blood. She drank the dragon’s blood, and with her own Frost Physique, her cultivation advanced quickly. She also reached the Eighth Stair of the Skyward Stairway, only a step away from the peak of the eighth rank.“Cynthia.”Cynthia was sitting in the villa, contemplating something as she looked out the w
“You kidnapped James’ child?”Both of them were baffled.After a few seconds of stunned silence, Cynthia laughed. “Maxine, you’re joking, right? Why would you kidnap James’ child?”Maxine cast a glance at Cynthia. As she looked over, Cynthia simply felt chills all over her body, like she was in an abyss.Maxine’s stare was frightening. Cynthia had never seen her like this before. She backed up a little, taking a few steps.Maxine said nonchalantly, “That’s right. I kidnapped James’ child. I did so much for him. I worked in the public eye and rose to become the head of the Cadens. I assisted him wholeheartedly. Regardless, he decided to live in seclusion with Thea.”She spoke softly as if she were talking about a trivial matter, but her words were laced with resentment and displeasure.After hearing that, they were both stunned. For a while, neither of them said anything.The atmosphere in the room was a little unusual.Then, the doorbell began to ring.“I-I’ll go open the doo
