Hearing that Tobias had returned to the Cadens’ household, Maxine hurriedly headed back. James followed close behind. Soon, they arrived. Many high-ranking members of the household gathered in the foyer of the Cadens’ residence. Tobias was sitting in the lead, a place reserved for the family head. In the foyer, a crippled elderly man sat in a wheelchair. He was Lorenzo Caden, son of Bennett and father of Tobias and Thomas. Apart from Thea, it was only with his assistance that Maxine managed to secure her position as the family head.Silence filled the foyer.“What’s going on?”A voice came from outside. Then, Maxine walked in with James following close behind.Upon entering the foyer, Maxine saw Tobias, who was sitting in her seat. At that moment, her eyes turned cloudy. It was Tobias who took her in and nurtured her into the person she was today.“T-Tobias…”After momentarily freezing, Maxine’s face darkened, and she said coldly, “You traitor! Why have you returned? That’s

Tobias had the intention to kill. He would eradicate anyone who stood in his way, even his own father. Although he was now slightly deranged, he had yet to lose his rationality. He warned Lorenzo against interfering in the household’s affairs. “I won’t be compromising, I’m afraid.” Lorenzo was not intimidated at all. He sat in his wheelchair and pointed at Maxine, saying, “I named Maxine the family head, hence she’ll be the family head. Tobias, you’ve been expelled from the family. You’re no longer a Caden. Get out of my sight this instant.” “I warned you…” In the blink of an eye, Tobias appeared before Lorenzo. However, at that moment, a figure appeared by the door. Upon seeing the figure, Tobias’ face paled as if he had seen a ghost. Staggering backward, he stammered, “Y-You…! H-How can this be?” Tobias could not believe his eyes. An elderly man slowly walked in. He was none other than Bennett, the person with the greatest authority in the household and an eighth-rank g

Before James could ask Thomas any questions, he was gone without a trace. After Thomas left, Bennett walked over to James and looked where Thomas had just been while murmuring silently, “He has grown even stronger now.”Bennett was an eighth-rank grandmaster. Despite using his full strength, Thomas easily deflected his attack. He found it hard to imagine just how strong Thomas currently was.“It seems that the rumors are true. Thomas got the most out of the Spirit Turtle.”James shrugged. He really was speechless when it came to his grandfather who would briefly show himself before leaving in a hurry. “Thank goodness for Thomas.” Maxine sighed. “If not for him arriving in the nick of time, the Cadens’ residence would’ve been wiped off the map.” James looked at Bennett and asked, “Are you alright, Grand Patriarch?” Bennett waved his hand slightly and said, “My Blood Energy churned a little just now. But, I should be fine. I just need a little rest.” Maxine began ordering

Being recognized as the most powerful individual in the world was meaningless. However, since antiquity, countless risked their lives for this vanity title. Xavi wanted to become the best in the world. He wanted to stand at the very top and look down on others. However, there were too many powerful martial artists out there. Hence, he could only keep a low profile and bide his time for now. Meanwhile, after receiving Xavi’s orders, Yasmine swiftly went about making the necessary arrangements. She immediately contacted Maxine and told her that the Lees intended to sell all of their businesses in the outside world. “What?! You’re dumping everything?” Upon hearing this, Maxine was stunned. The Lee family was one of the Ancient Four. Over the past century, they had accumulated a great fortune through their lucrative businesses. Besides, the backbone of Sol’s economy was in the hands of Orient Commerce, which was dominated by the Lees. “Mhm.” Yasmine nodded and said, “A storm is

“That’s them, alright,” Maxine nodded and said. “That’s great!” Quincy was exhilarated. As she had been interacting with many influential figures in the Capital, she knew about Orient Commerce and the authority it wielded. The backbone of the Solean economy was in the hands of Orient Commerce, which the Lee family dominated.“James, you have to take over the Lees’ businesses no matter the cost!”Quincy said excitedly, “Now that the Chamber of Commerce has been established, the Dawn family of the north and many other businesses have joined us. However, as the founder, we have to demonstrate strength. If we can take over the Lees’ businesses, our reputation and prestige will spread far and wide.”Quincy began weighing the pros and cons.James knew little about this. He was in deep contemplation over how to successfully take over the Lees’ businesses.Soon, they arrived.A twenty-year-old-looking woman answered the door. As she was in the comfort of her own home, she was dressed
