Chapter 1938
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

Sure enough, after he mentioned these, Maxine’s expression softened considerably.James began coaxing Maxine to speak. He started to ask about his child.“Maxine, did Thea come to you? Did Thea suspect that there was something going on between us so you two got into a fight, and that’s why you took the child?” James asked tentatively.“No.” Maxine shook her head.“So why did you?” James inquired, perplexed. “We seemed to have a close relationship. We endured hardships together. We’ve become friends through adversity. Why did you kidnap my child?”“What do you think?” Maxine looked at James with a smile.James had been trying to figure out what Maxine was thinking.He had already guessed. However, he did not reveal it.“Maxine, I really don’t know. I’ve always thought of you as my little sister. Why are you doing this?”“Little sister?” Maxine sneered. “Don’t play dumb, James. You know what I’m thinking. I gave up so much to help you, but all I got in return was a thank you. I
Chapter 1941
James never expected Maxine to make such an outrageous request.Maxine stopped at the door and turned to look at James who was frozen in shock as she said, “To be honest, I’d prefer Thea out of the picture.”As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked away.After she left, Cynthia looked at James and asked, “James, what is Maxine trying to do?”James took out a cigarette and lit it.He took a long drag and shook his head, saying, “I have no idea what’s on her mind.”James could not figure out what Maxine was thinking.It made sense for Maxine to ask James to marry her.However, it was strange that she was also trying to drag Tiara and Cynthia into it.Cynthia looked at Tiara sitting beside them and reprimanded her. “What’re you thinking, Tiara?! Why are you trying to provoke Maxine? Asking James to marry three women at once is outrageous.”“I, I…”Tiara’s pretty face immediately turned red.She was not thinking clearly back then and agreed as soon as Maxine pro

Half a day later, James arrived at Mount Tai.Retracing his steps, he headed to the ravine where the Chamber of Scriptures was located. He dived into the water, entered the underground cave, and arrived outside the Chamber of Scriptures. He pushed open the stone door and entered the tower’s first floor.The first floor was empty.James shouted while looking around, “Ms. Custodian! Are you there, Ms. Custodian? It’s James. I need to speak with you.”Swoosh!At that moment, there was a flash of white that slowly descended to the ground, revealing the image of a woman in a white dress.She was tall with a delicate and beautiful appearance, giving off an ethereal aura.“What is it?”Her voice was airy and pleasant to the ears.James asked, “Where’s Thea? I’d like to see her.”“Thea is purifying her Demonic Energy underground and is indisposed to see visitors at the moment.”“It’s urgent. I must see her.”The woman pursed her lips for a moment and said, “Alright. I’ll bring you

The Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian lightly flicked her hand, and a force swept out from her sleeve to engulf James.His vision went blurry and when his eyes opened again he found himself on the Chamber of Scriptures’ first floor.James was stumped.It was impossible for him to marry the three women.His only alternative is to locate Winnie as soon as possible. After he’s rescued her, he would not have to worry about Maxine threatening him.Suddenly, the Omniscient Deity came to mind.The Omniscient Deity was probably the only other person who knew of Winnie’s whereabouts.James left the Chamber of Scriptures and boarded his private plane to Mount Jade.After half a day, the private plane arrived at Mount Jade.James found the Omniscient Deity at the back of the mountain.He was dressed in his usual white robe. He sat on a rock at the back of Mount Jade with a piece of straw in his mouth.“You’re here.”The Omniscient Deity did not turn around.James walked over, sat on a

The people on the list included the Omniscient Deity, the Prince of Orchid Mountain, Tyrus, James, and Thea.After reviewing the information, the man in the cyan robe replied, “Alright. I’ll slowly get rid of them. Since I’m here, I should take a good look at Earth.”James was unaware that another formidable person from the Overworld had come to Earth.Compared to Conrad, this person was far more terrifying. So much so that even Conrad was compelled to address him respectfully out of fear and trepidation.At that moment, James arrived in Cansington.He did not return to the Callahans’ villa immediately after his arrival.Instead, he headed to Cynthia’s house.He temporarily stayed at her place and did not contact Maxine.James waited for updates from Henry and the Omniscient Deity.Three days later, the Omniscient Deity appeared in Cansington.“Lord Omniscient, how is it? Do you have any news on Winnie’s whereabouts?”James inquired impatiently.The Omniscient Deity shook h
Chapter 1945
James' original intention was to deceive Maxine to reunite with Winnie first.His strength would allow him to snatch Winnie away from her, and Maxine would no longer have leverage over him.However, Maxine refused to negotiate and was only willing to let James see Winnie after staying married to them for three years.After she hung up the phone, James sat on the sofa pensively.‘What should I do?‘Do I really have to marry three of them?‘That’s out of the question.‘I already have Thea. I won’t marry other women.’“James.” Cynthia’s voice reached his ears.James regained his senses, turned to her, and asked, “Mhm? What’s wrong?”“What did Maxine say?” asked Cynthia.James sighed and said, “She isn’t willing to negotiate with me and insists on handing Winnie over after the three years of marriage are up. I don’t know where Winnie is right now, and I’m worried to hell since I don’t know what kind of person Maxine has become.”“Then you’ll just have to marry us.”Cynthia t
