Callan was the first to arrive in the Capital. After James healed his injuries with the Crucifier, he left Cansington and arrived in the Capital with the sole objective of seizing control of the Gu Sect in mind. “Where are you, James?” Callan asked. “I’m already in the Capital,” James replied. “I’m now in closed-door meditation. I’ll send you my address. We’ll talk about it later.” “Sure.” James hung up the phone. Soon, he received Callan’s message. Callan did not live in the city area. Instead, he was residing in a villa in the suburbs. It was a secluded area full of villas and courtyards for the pleasure of the rich. Soon, James arrived and rang the doorbell. The door opened. A forty-year-old-looking man with a crew cut and wearing white clothing answered the door. It was Callan. He had cut his hair short. Now, he was more energetic-looking. “You’ve arrived, James.” Callan welcomed James in. “Mhm.” James walked in and sat on the sofa. Immediately, a beauti

Maxine was lost in thought. The Capital was the core and economic lifeline of Sol. James’ actions would implicate not just a single company or a conglomerate. Eighty percent of companies and conglomerates established in Sol would be affected. Things would get complicated if something went out of hand. “Here’s what I think, James.” After contemplation, Maxine said, “Despite the Cadens’ participation and the courting of conglomerates with a clean background, there’s no guarantee that we can effectively deal with the situation. After all, when driven solely by interests, it would be impossible for us to unite as one.” James listened to her intently. He knew little about what Maxine was talking about. Maxine continued, “Why don’t we establish a conglomerate or a Chamber of Commerce ourselves and pulled those businesses in? Only by combining forces with companies, whether SMEs or huge conglomerates, can we effectively deal with the situation. Otherwise, Sol will descend into disorde

James opened the door and leaped into the passenger’s seat. Thea slammed on the gas and had no intention to stop. Unconcerned about James’ safety, she rebuked him upon seeing him in the passenger’s seat, “What are you doing here? Why don’t you go find Maxine?” “Thea, this is really just a misunderstanding,” James explained. “I don’t know what happened to her today. I visited her to discuss our future plans. All of a sudden, her personality changed, and she began saying weird things. In the end, she even embraced me tightly…” James narrated the chain of events that took place. Although Thea was mad, she listened to him intently. When she heard that Maxine confessed her feelings to James, Thea scowled. “I was confused. Weird images began surfacing in my mind, but I hurriedly catalyzed Ataraxia to suppress those thoughts. That’s why I couldn’t push her away in time. “Thea, I’m telling you the truth. I only see her as a little sister.” “Hmph!” Thea long knew that Maxine had

Since everything was fine with Thea, James was assured. However, he still reminded Thea, “In any case, you should be more careful. I still think you should throw the sword away.” “Everything’s fine, Darling.” Thea stood up and held the Malevolent Sword in her hand, saying, “This sword is sharp and indestructible. It can even cut through metal with ease.” James glanced at Thea. Although she was still the usual Thea from the outside, her words sounded strange to James. ‘I thought women like beautiful clothes or cosmetic products. Why is she so interested in an ice-cold sword?’ However, he dismissed those thoughts. “Thea, I plan to ask Quincy to come to the Capital and form a Chamber of Commerce. Then, we’ll pull in businesses to deal with the chaotic situation that could occur.” James discussed this with Thea. If Thea rebuffed his idea, he would have to think of something else. “Sure.” Putting down the Malevolent Sword, Thea took a seat and said, “Quincy’s a competent per

Maxine was not at all surprised by Thea’s arrival. Based on her calculations, Thea would surely be here to confront her because she already knew about Thea’s identity as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. With Thea’s current prestige and strength, how would she sit idly by as she watched her beloved be embraced by another woman? Now, however, she found it hard to fathom Thea’s thought process. “It’s nothing.” Thea spoke gently, “I came here to tell you to help James to the best of your ability. Since I have the power to make you the family head of the Cadens, I can also remove you from your position.” Then, she stood up and left. When she reached the front door, she stopped and turned to look at Maxine. “By the way, stop seducing my husband. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next.” After she said that, she turned to leave. As Maxine watched Thea’s retreating figure, her expression turned grim. Although she speculated that Thea was the Sect Leader of the Cel
