Chapter 1059


    Maxine continued. “The only eighth-rank grandmaster we know of is the Great Patriarch of the Blithe


    family. They’re demonstrating great ambition and will definitely attend this conference. If the Blithes are


    part of the Gu Sect, that’ll be troublesome for us.”


    Maxine was worried.


    James had no supporters. It was not feasible for James to face an entire faction all on his own.


    “It’s no big deal. The King will lend me a hand if the situation turns dire. After all, it’s a battle between


    two factions and not mine alone.”


    “I''m relieved, but...”


    Maxine nced at Jams and said, “If the eighth-rank grandmaster doesn’t attend, then the Great


    Grandmaster will be selected from the seventh-ranked grandmasters. You''ve already stepped into the


    sixth rank, and with your Invincible Body Siddhi, you have a chance of standing against a seventh-rank


    grandmaster. There’s a real possibility of you winning the title of the Great Grandmaster. Even if you


    don’t fight for it, you still have to...”


    “What do I still have to do?” James looked at Maxine and cocked his brow.


    “You''ll have to sabotage the conference,” Maxine smirked.


    “Now, with everythingid out, we need someone to sabotage the conference so it can’t proceed


    smoothly.”


    “Oh, what''s your n?”


    “I don’t have one yet. I’ll have to see how everything unfolds first.”


    James and Maxine discussed the details of their n in the Emperor’s mansion.


    Meanwhile, Madelyn arrived in the Capital and made her way to an independent suburb courtyard to


    look for Mr. Gabriel.


    “Mr. Gabriel, the situation has changed. The King may be nning to take action soon.”


    Madelyn looked at the middle-aged man warming himself by the fire with a worried look on her face.


    Mr. Gabriel asked calmly, “What did you hear, pray tell?”


    “James has been appointed as the new Emperor.”


    “That’s not a surprise. The position has been vacant for some time now, and someone had to be


    appointed eventually. Unfortunately, our side did not manage to garner enough votes,” Mr. Gabriel


    replied offhandedly.


    Madelyn took a breath before continuing, “Maxine was kicked out of the Cadens. These two incidents


    aren’t a coincidence. The three families from the Ancient Four are targeting the Cadens. иσν???вσσк.


    ￠σмNow that the rtionship between the Blithes and the Cadens has fallen apart, the Cadens don’t


    have any allies. The only way for them to protect their family is by allying with the King.”


    “That cunning fox Tobias knew that if he dered his allegiance right now, other families would follow


    suit and start picking sides.


    The forces will be clearly divided, and a battle will break out. Thus, he kicked Maxine out of the family


    so she could help James without involving the Cadens.”

    Madelyn exined her view on the situation.


    Mr. Gabriel did not seem the least bit perturbed and said indifferently, “So what? What can James do?”


    It was all part of his n to force the Cadens into a corner where they would have no choice but to ally


    with the King.


    When that happens, the other three families that show resentment toward the Cadens would naturally


    choose an opposing side.


    He waved his hand and said, “Go back to Cansington. Our time is running out. We need to speed


    things up.”


    “Understood.”


    Madelyn silently and reluctantly left the room. She specifically rushed back to Cansington to warn him,


    but Mr.


    Gabriel seemed entirely unbothered. It was as if this was all part of his n too.


    After leaving the room, Madelyn murmured with a serious expression, “Could it be that Mr. Gabriel is


    holding onto a trump card? I wonder who or what it is.”


    Madelyn was unable to figure it out and stopped thinking about it. She shook her head and left the


    courtyard.


    At the same time, James and Maxine were waiting for ke and


    Thea’s arrival.


    The two rushed over to the Capital once James had called them.


    At noon, ke arrived at the Emperor’s Mansion.


    “Tsk, tsk! James! You were already Dragon King of the Southern ins, and now you''re also the new


    Emperor in charge of the Red me Army? You are only second to the king in terms of power in Sol!”


    ke began to ramble after sitting down.
