“You…” Maxine was furious.“Now!” Madelyn ordered.The Four Guardians acted swiftly.Before Maxine could react, they had tapped her acupoints and sealed her True Energy, rendering her paralyzed.Madelyn smirked and said, “Maxine, you should know that Mr. Gabriel hated people getting in the way of his plans. He doesn't want the Cadens to get help from anyone.”Maxine could not move her body. She glared at Madelyn and asked, “Isn’t he your teacher? Why are you calling him Mr. Gabriel?”“Hehe,” Madelyn giggled. She did not explain herself and simply waved to the Four Guardians beside her.The four nodded and quickly left.Madelyn slowly walked toward Maxine. Maxine could not circulate her energy as her acupoints were sealed. Madelyn lifted Maxine's chin and said with a smile, “What a beautiful woman. If I were a man, I would love to be with a woman like you. Hehe…”Then, she walked toward James.James had suffered severe injuries and was still recovering. His injuries were h

On the mountain, the campfires were still burning.Two naked figures were lying on the ground.The man was on the bottom while the woman was lying on top of him. Both had no clothes on, and their positions were incredibly intimate.Maxine could feel James’ lips against her cheek, and her face blushed red. She wanted to stand up but could not move a muscle.James was unable to move as well. He could only keep embracing Maxine. He could feel the warmth of Maxine’s body.Both of them were embarrassed by the situation and remained silent.A sense of awkwardness filled the atmosphere.Time passed by slowly.The two stayed in the same pose for three hours.After three hours, Maxine realized she could move and quickly jumped off James. Then, she picked up her clothes and covered her body.Her clothes were ripped and could not be worn anymore. She could only use the scraps to cover herself slightly for the time being.James got up and wanted to put his clothes on. However, he found

With the current situation, James was unsure of what to do. After sobbing for a while, Maxine calmed down. She wore a perplexed expression as she sat pensively.“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that she was in deep thought, James' curiosity was piqued.“It’s kind of weird,” Maxine murmured.“Huh?” James was puzzled.Maxine said softly, “Grandpa knew that Madelyn would appear in Mount White. At first, he asked me not to interfere because he knew that she wouldn’t kill you. He knew your life would not be in danger, but eventually, he allowed me to come to look for you.”James looked at Maxine and asked, “What’s weird about that? Didn’t you say he asked you to bring me the martial art manuals?”“I’m afraid that was just an excuse.” Maxine sighed.She knew Tobias very well.Although he had no intention of fighting for hegemony, he was meticulous. He would always think through things thoroughly.She explained, “Grandpa knows about Madelyn being Mr. Gabriel’s disciple and als

On the outside, she had infinite glory. However, in reality, she had no status in the family and was simply a tool to be used.James asked, “Then, what should we do now?”Maxine sighed. “I’m afraid Grandpa sent me to protect you because he knew you didn’t fully trust the Cadens. He wanted to use me to make you feel welcomed among the Cadens. That’s why he allowed me to come hoping that something would happen between us. At the same time, he’ll stay in contact with the Blithes. Even if Madelyn spreads the pictures, he’ll still try to make the marriage happen. And, if it doesn’t happen, he’ll think of something to cause a grievance between the Blithes and Mr. Gabriel.”James listened carefully.Although these were just Maxine’s guesses, they made complete sense.“Don't worry. I’ll take things one step at a time.” Maxine hugged her knees and propped her chin on them, speaking softly.After thinking for a while, she felt that her situation was not too bad.At least she was still val

Maxine was deep in thought while James was sewing her clothes. Amid her thoughts, she failed to notice James turning around.James had already been staring at her for a while before she regained her senses.James swallowed his saliva and said, “I-I’m done.”Maxine immediately took the clothes and quickly turned around, exposing her smooth back to James.The sight of her butt immediately caught James' attention.It was incredibly voluminous.He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his lustful desires.Maxine quickly got dressed.After James calmed down, he picked up his clothes and inspected them. They could still be worn if he mended them.Then, he began to sew them together.In no time at all, James was also dressed.After getting dressed, the two sat around the fire silently. It was an unusual atmosphere because neither of them spoke.James roasted the hare that the soldiers had given him earlier.He occasionally glanced at Maxine, who was sitting opposite him. D

The night was long, and time passed by slowly.James took out the martial art manuals brought by Maxine and began to read them. Tobias had copied them from the Cadens’ library for him. There were three sets of martial techniques in total.The first one was called Flurry Steps; The second was Dominating Fist; The third was Cyclone Punch.James began to read the manuals attentively.Maxine opened her eyes when she realized James had not spoken for some time. She saw him reading the manuals and asked, “Which manuals did Grandpa give you?”James returned to his senses and said, “I only briefly went through them. There are three martial art techniques. One is Flurry Steps, another Dominating Fist, and the last Cyclone Punch.”After hearing the names, Maxine nodded and said, “Not bad. The Cadens’ ancestors directly handed these three martial art manuals down. Each technique was potent back in its prime. I’ve also heard that Flurry Steps is extremely powerful. If you master it, you’ll

Now, James had a somewhat rough idea that the failed plan from a century ago was to dominate the world using Gu venom. In its lead was the Mavericks, one of the three major families of the Gu sect. Of course, they were not the only ones involved. Many other forces must have played a part in the plan. ogrAs for how the plan came to an end and the secret it held, even Maxine was unaware. Now, the plan from a century ago was back in action. Those involved had to be stopped. “By the way, what do you plan to do with all this wealth?” Maxine asked. James shrugged and said, “I never expected that Madelyn, the person in charge of Centennial Corporation, would try to stop me. Now that the Blithe King and the helicopters have left, it’d be rather difficult to bring these golden bricks back.” James pondered. After a few seconds, he continued, “Worse comes to worst, we’ll ask the God-King Palace to bring them back.” “You mustn’t,” said Maxine hurriedly. “Everyone is currently gue

“Only Universal Hospital is making trouble. Everything else is fine for now.” “That’s great.” Maxine breathed a sigh of relief. “By the way, who exactly is Mr. Gabriel?” James asked. Maxine shook her head. “I don’t know either. I don’t even know his full name. I’ve only heard from my grandpa that he’s extremely powerful. He’s at least of the sixth rank. Whether or not he’s reached the seventh rank is beyond me.” James’ expression darkened. He never expected Mr. Gabriel to possess such strength. He remained silent, thinking. After waiting for about two hours, they boarded the plane and returned to the Capital. By the time they arrived, it was already six in the morning. Walking out of the airport, James asked, “Are we heading back to the Cadens’ right away?” “Yup.” Maxine nodded. “That’s the plan.” Then, she called for a taxi, and the two got on. At around seven in the morning, they arrived at the front gate of the Cadens’ mansion. Many servants were outside sweeping t
