Chapter 991
Now, James had a somewhat rough idea that the failed n 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 yed a part in the
n.

As for how the n came to an end and the secret it held, even Maxine was unaware.
Now, the n from a century ago was back in action. Those involved had to be stopped.
“By the way, what do you n to do with all this wealth?” Maxine asked.
James shrugged and said, “Il 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, “Worsees to worst, we''ll ask the God-King Pce to bring
them back.”
“You mustn''t,” said Maxine hurriedly. “Everyone is currently guessing which side the God-King Pce
is on. As it possesses tremendous strength, it won’t be appropriate for us to show our
hand just yet. After all, everyone will know that the God-King Pce is on your side once it helps you
bring this wealth back.”
James thought about what she said and agreed with her analysis. The God-King Pce was the ace
up his sleeves. He could not reveal it just yet.
“What should we do, then?” James was in a bind.
This wealth was worth trillions of dors.
Without it, they would not be able to win a protracted struggle against Centennial Corporation. The few
hundred billion from ke was not enough.
Maxine shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. In any case, the God-King Pce mustn''t show
itself. Apart from Grandpa, no one else knows about them. We''lle up with some way to get the
money.”
“I guess that’s the only way for now.” James nodded.
The two sat in front of the bonfire the whole night, discussing martial arts and the current political
dynamics.
In the blink of an eye, the sun had risen.
The two got up and left Mount White.
Since the helicopter had left, they could only traverse the mountains to leave this ce. Then, they
would go to a nearby city and buy a ne ticket ck.
Though the path was treacherous, they were martial artists. As such, it was no big deal for them. By
noon, they had descended Mount White.
After walking along the road for quite some time, James stopped a car that was passing by and
requested the driver send them to a nearby city.
By the time they reached the city, the sky was already dark.
As this was a small city, there were no airports, so they could only call for a taxi and head to a city with
an airport to return to the Capital.
Though James wanted to return to Cansington, he was worried about the vtile situation in the
Capital. Besides, since Madelyn had made the photographs public, he was concerned that Maxine’s
return would get the Cadens involved.
At an airport''s departure lounge in a city near Mount White...
James pulled out his phone and called Quincy to inquire about the situation in Cansington. He learned
that Messiah Corporation had begun courting some smaller businesses in secret. However, Longevity
Pharmaceuticals had been challenging the other hospitals and pharmacies nonstop, which forced
some of them to close shop. The situation was dire.
“Is Cynthia doing alright?” James asked.
Quincy replied, “Her condition is stable. She’s practicing martial arts very rigorously.”
Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief.
“I''ll be heading to the Capital and will return to Cansington in a few days. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Got it. I’m busy right now. I’m hanging up.” Quincy hung up the phone.
Maxine, who was beside James, nced at him and asked, “Is everything alright in Cansington?”
