Chapter 1274
Gloom was shocked by the news.
Maxine as the family head?
As the King’s personal bodyguard, Gloom had a strong intelligence network in the Capital. Although he did not have
complete information on the affairs of the major families in the Capital, he practically knew almost everything.
Thus, he knew that Maxine was not blood–related to the Cadens.
He could not believe that Maxine was the family head.
After a momentary shock, he looked at Maxine and asked, “Why are you telling me all these things? Could it be that
the Cadens are refusing to acknowledge you as the family head? Do you want to use the King’s power to
strengthen your position in the Cadens?” Maxine smiled.
Dealing with intelligent people saved a lot of hassle.
“It’ll be a mutually beneficial cooperation. As long as I remain the head of the Cadens, I’ll stand by the King’s side
and become his most loyal partner.” Maxine thought for a while and asked, “By the way, does the King have a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcandidate in mind for the new King for the next election in the following year?”
Gloom shook his head and said, “That is confidential information. How would a bodyguard like me know?” Maxine
continued, “James has climbed the hierarchy incredibly fast. He’s both the Dragon King and the Emperor. Is the
King simply using him or deliberately training him?”
“I don’t know anything about that.” Gloom shook his head slightly, but he was genuinely startled by her question.
Rumor had it that Maxine from the Cadens was a legendary tactician.
Just from this one brief conversation, Gloom was surprised that she could say so much with so little. Maxine smiled
and said, “If I’m the head of the Cadens, I’ll surely grow the family bigger in the next few years. With the status of
the Cadens in the ancient martial world, it won’t be challenging to summon all of the martial artists worldwide.
James‘ strength in the country is already at its peak, but I know him well. He isn’t interested in the position of the
King but is dedicated to serving the country’s people. Thus, no matter who the new King is, he’ll have fewer
obstacles with my and James‘ support.
“If James could become the King, that would be even better. With my relationship with him…”
Gloom waved his hand and interrupted Maxine, saying, “I’ll relay your words to the King when I return.” After
speaking, he turned and left.
Maxine watched Gloom leave with a faint smile on her pretty face.
Behind her, Ryder reminded, “Ms. Maxine, the Cadens have never involved ourselves in the outside world’s affairs.
This has been a rule since ancient times. Throughout history, the governments have gone down the path of
destruction, and despite having the chance to save them, the Cadens have never provided any help. Now that
you’re talking about cooperation with the King, will it…”
“It won’t.” Maxine replied, “What era are we living in? It’s necessary to know how to bend the rules sometimes. No
one in the Cadens obeys me, so I need external forces to suppress them into submission.” Her mind was clear.
Before, she had never thought about the position of the family head.
Now that it had fallen into her hands, she had to make plans for herself.
After speaking, she turned and left.
“Ms. Maxine, where are you going?” asked Ryder.
“Staying in the Cadens‘ mansion is boring. I’m going out for a walk,” Maxine walked a certain distance away from
the mansion before replying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter leaving the mansion, she took out her phone and called Madelyn.
“Maxine, is there anything?” Madelyn’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Must there always be something?” Maxine chuckled.
“Cut to the chase. Just tell me what you want.”
“I need to see Mr. Gabriel,” Maxine said straightforwardly.
Yaroslav held a vital position in the Capital and was the representative of the Gu Sect in the official channels.
There was currently internal turmoil in the Gu Sect. The Supreme Leader, Callan, was attacked by the Deputy
Leader, Lucjan. Now that she was following James, she had to make good use of Callan’s identity to pave the way
for herself.
At Yaroslav’s courtyard house.
Yaroslav sat by the fire and warmed himself.
Madelyn stood aside and whispered, “Mr. Gabriel, Maxine is asking to see you.”
Yaroslav had been paying close attention to the events at the Mount Thunder Conference for the past few days.
Thus, he was up to date on everything that had happened.
He asked with a frown, “Why does Maxine want to see me at this time? Could it be that James has arranged for it?”
“It’s possible. Thomas is the biggest winner in the Mount Thunder Conference. James is Thomas‘ grandson and
must’ve also received great benefits. Moreover, James has already grown so strong that he could defeat Yaakov. I
believe he’s planning something soon. I think it’s best we meet up with Maxine.”
