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

James had been resting in a room on the second floor of Cynthia’s villa.Throughout the day, he came down to have something to eat.After eating, he headed back to his room. He sat in a lotus position, meditating and cultivating his True Energy.The night passed by silently.The following day, James called the Blithe King and Jay for updates. Unfortunately, he could not find the person suspected to be his grandfather through either official or underground intelligence networks.James got dressed and went downstairs.Cynthia and Maxine had already woken up.“James.”The two women greeted him.He nodded and sat down on the sofa.Maxine asked, “How is it? Is there any news from the Blithe King?”James shook his head and said, “No. The person who took Tiara seems to have vanished and is untraceable. The Blithe King used every connection he could but he still can’t track down the car. I’m baffled by how a vehicle could disappear into thin air when the whole city is full of survei

The house was neat and spotless.James rushed up the stairs to Quincy’s room. The door was closed, so James knocked on the door. However, no movement could be heard from inside.He twisted the doorknob and found it unlocked, so he gently pushed it open.The blankets inside the room were neatly stacked. James walked over and reached under them. The bed was cold, and it was evident that no one had slept on it throughout the night.Maxine scanned the room and said, “I don’t think she came back last night.”“That’s strange. Where else would she go?” James panicked. He would not be as worried if only Quincy was missing, but even Thea had disappeared without a trace.“Let’s check the company,” Maxine suggested.“Alright.” James nodded.The two walked out of the villa.Luther acted as their driver and took them to Messiah Corporation. It was already nine in the morning when they reached the company, which was during the company’s office hours, but Quincy had not arrived.Outside M

James’ suspicions were not groundless.“Scarlett used to be part of a grave robber gang. However, she was clueless about her employer, claiming that someone else was responsible for communications.“Additionally, although Scarlett has considerable strength, it isn’t anything overwhelming. So how would it be possible for her to snatch the key and escape from the enemy? On top of that, she even located Floyd and secretly followed him to Cansington without being noticed.“That’s simply outrageous.”Maxine noticed James murmuring to himself and could not help asking, “What’re you saying, James?”“Maxine, try to analyze this for me.” James turned to Maxine and explained how Scarlett’s gang robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb and escaped with the key, following Floyd to Cansington.“Do you think there is another mastermind behind Mr. Gabriel who was backing up the Emperor? Could Mr. Gabriel also just be a puppet?”Maxine fell into thought.After a while, she said, “
