“Missing?”James was stunned.He recollected himself and asked, “She was fine yesterday. How did she suddenly go missing?”Quincy sighed. “She was acting strange last night and asked many unusual questions.”“What kind of questions?”“In short, she felt that she had troubled and distressed you. She thinks you didn’t stay with the Callahans and that you came back because of her. I woke up and couldn’t find her anywhere. She even packed and left with her luggage.”James wore a worried expression.“Why’re you still standing in a daze? Hurry and find her!”“Me? Where am I going to find her?” James was at a loss.Quincy said, “She must be planning to return to the Capital and probably hasn’t arrived at the airport yet. Can’t you use your connections to stop her from leaving?”“Mhm.” James nodded and rushed down the stairs.Maxine had already gotten up and was using her True Energy to discharge the excessive Cold Energy in Cynthia’s body.Seeing James coming downstairs, Maxine stop

The old man approached her.Tiara asked, “Were you calling me just now, sir?”“Of course.”The old man was none other than Thomas. He leaned forward and whispered into Tiara’s ears.“Really?!!” Tiara was ecstatic.“Definitely. Come with me. It’s not a lie,” Thomas said with a smile.Tiara left the airport with Thomas inside a black vehicle, while James reached the airport a little too late. After arriving, he phoned the Blithe King.The Blithe King informed him that there was indeed a person named Tiara Youngblood that booked a ticket. However, she did not board the plane.James frowned upon hearing the news. “She didn’t board the plane?”“Yeah, the flight she booked has already taken off, but she didn’t board the plane.”“Alright. I got it.” James hung up the phone.He sat on the stairs outside the airport, smoking a cigarette pensively. “Where could she go if she didn’t board the plane?” James muttered to himself. “Did something happen to her?”James suddenly became anx

James had no choice but to return home and wait for the news.He hailed a taxi back to Cynthia’s villa.Maxine hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the house, “How was it? Did you find her?”James shook his head. He walked over and sat down on the sofa.Cynthia also asked, “Did you not find her?”Maxine had already discharged the excessive Cold Energy in Cynthia’s body, allowing her body temperature to return to normal for the time being.Cynthia looked at James worriedly. He took out his phone and opened the surveillance footage sent by the Blithe King.Maxine leaned over and took a look. After watching the footage, she asked with concern, “Who’s that old man? Why did Tiara leave with him?”James’ expression was bleak.“Judging from his appearance, it might be my grandfather. However, he was supposed to have died in the fire ten years ago. I’ve already requested the Blithe King to use his authority to track down the man in the footage. I’ve also asked the underground intelli

Grandpa had always treated him affectionately when he was young.Thomas taught him to read the ancient language and helped him build a solid medical foundation. His grandfather’s teachings were the reason he was capable of comprehending medical books in a short period.“James, how can I make you believe me? Your grandfather was the person that started the conflict within the Cadens back then. Do you know how many of our family members he killed? So many of our relatives died at his hands. He’s a cunning man that would do anything to achieve his goal, even if it meant killing his own family. Even if you’re his grandson, he won’t show you mercy if you get in his way.”Maxine tried to warn him.She did not want James to be blinded by the truth and lose his judgment because it concerned his grandfather.“I’m sure my grandfather isn’t someone like that. He must’ve had a reason.” James shook his head.He doubted everything Maxine said because he believed that he knew his grandfather ve

“Ms. Xenos.”The security guards charging at James halted their steps and greeted Quincy respectfully.“Go back to work.” Quincy scanned the security guards and ordered them to return to their posts.“Understood!” The security guards left.Quincy looked at James and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be looking for Tiara? Why are you at the company?”“I’m here for Thea.”“Why’re you looking for her?”“I need to ask her some questions.”“Alright, I’ll take you to her.”Quincy took James to an office located on the top floor.After Thea received James’ call, she patiently waited for him to arrive. In less than an hour, he showed up.“James…” She stood up and greeted him.James walked toward the office’s lounge area and sat on the sofa. Thea went over and sat down opposite him, while Quincy also remained in the office.He took out his phone, opened the surveillance footage sent to him by the Blithe King, and pushed his phone on the table toward Thea. “Watch it. Tell me, do you

“I’ve really no clue at all.”Thea denied it again.“If I find out that you lied to me… Hmph!” James snorted, stood up furiously, and turned to leave.“James…” Quincy called out for him. She cast a glance at Thea and quickly chased after James. She grabbed his arm and asked, “What happened, James?”James took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He explained, “Tiara was taken away by someone. This person is most likely my grandfather. However, he is supposed to have died in the fire ten years ago, so I can’t be certain. On top of that, Maxine had suggested that the God-King Palace was created by my grandfather, Thomas. He had secretly been in contact with Thea and got her to help me twice.”“I-Isn’t this a good thing? Your grandfather is helping you from behind the scenes. Is there a problem with that?” asked Quincy.James explained, “Yes, but Maxine described my grandpa as cunning and heinous. Plus, Tiara disappeared with him, and I don’t know where they went.”“W-Why is ev

Maxine stated her analysis of the situation.However, her assumptions could only be possible under the assumption that Thomas was alive and the person who took Tiara.Many things would change if the person who took Tiara were an imposter. Her analysis would not be tenable, and it could be easily overturned.“Cut to the chase. What do you suggest I do right now?”Maxine explained, “Tiara wouldn’t be in danger if the person who took her was Thomas. I believe that he is planning to take action very soon. This time, he intends to unleash great chaos involving the Ancient Four and major Capital forces. What you have to do is quickly improve your strength. You will have to at least enter the fifth rank before you’ll have the ability to make a difference. Otherwise, you’re going to be led by the nose.”James calmed down and carefully analyzed the situation.The masked woman dressed in black at the Capital was undoubtedly Thea. The fake Maxine, who rescued him from the Johnstons, must al

Thea folded her arms and looked at Quincy. “I know you want to ask about the things James mentioned this afternoon, right? Let me make it clear to you again. I’ve no clue what he was talking about. I’m completely clueless, okay?”After speaking, Thea turned and walked away.“You’re on point, but the more you act this way, the more suspicious you are.” Quincy murmured.Thea ignored Quincy and walked into the elevator, heading directly to the underground parking lot. She took out her car key and pressed the button. A car nearby beeped a few times. Thea walked over, opened the door, and got into the car. An old man was already in the passenger seat.However, Thea was immersed in her thoughts and failed to notice him. When she saw him, she jerked and patted her chest. “What’re you doing, Sir Caden? You’re always appearing out of nowhere. And why didn’t you answer the call in the afternoon?”Thomas smiled and said, “I know that James had gone to question you and that you must be conf
