He definitely could not use the Red Flame Army to investigate or ask the King for assistance since he did not want him to know about his following plans.On the other hand, there were several unofficial channels he could put to use, including Jay’s intelligence network, the Dark Castle, the God-King Palace, and the Dragon Palace.The intelligence network of the Red Flame Army must not be used to investigate.Unfortunately, Jay’s intelligent network had not penetrated the Capital.Meanwhile, the Dragon Palace had only been established not too long ago, and they were mainly based overseas,The only two that he could rely on were the Dark Castle and God-King Palace.Compared to the God-King Palace, James had more trust in the Dark Castle.He took out his phone and called Blake.The call connected quickly, and Blake’s hoarse voice sounded from the phone. “James, it’s only been a few days. How could I possibly get a result so quickly? Give me a few more days!”James replied calmly,

Lex stood up immediately and announced excitedly, “I announce that the Callahans will sell off all our properties in Cansington and enter the Capital! From this moment onward, the Callahans are officially a wealthy and powerful family in this world!”Clap! Clap! Clap!The Callahans applauded excitedly and shouted their praises.In the Emperor’s Mansion at the Capital, Thea overheard Lex’s voice through the phone and frowned. “Grandpa, what are you doing? We’ve been doing well in Cansington. Why would you want to come to the Capital? The Capital is a dangerous place. Please don’t come.”The Callahans had finally taken root in Cansington after developing for a few decades.Thea did not want Lex to bring the whole family to the Capital.Although the Capital was the Imperial City, Cansington was not bad either.Cansington had Transgenerational New City, and a new city was being built in the suburbs.It was about to become an international city. Moreover, the Callahans had been deve

Madelyn was lost in thought.After a while, she said, “Sir, what did the upper-ups says about your survival?”“They didn’t say much, except that I could live if I found a way to survive.”Madelyn nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll stir up the situation. As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of the Mount Thunder Conference, we can buy as much time as possible. The conference is only less than a month away.”Yaroslav asked, “Is there anything I can do?”Madelyn said thoughtfully, “There’s a way. James must’ve gotten the King’s permission to kill you. However, the King fears that the situation will get out of control after you die. This is the only reason he hasn’t touched you all these years. Since he’s allowed James to kill you, he won’t be providing him any help. Judging by how Maxine was expelled to help James, the people supporting James are the Cadens.“That cunning man, Tobias, knows the severity of the situation and doesn’t dare to act rashly. Thus, their plan w

However, Maxine could not figure it out.“How would I know?” Thea shook her head.She, too, was unsure of Thomas’ intentions.All she knew was that everything was not to harm but to help James.“Is that so? Then, have you ever felt that Thomas is the one behind everything?”“What do you mean?” Thea looked at Maxine.Maxine thought for a while and said, “Le’s start from when James killed the previous Emperor. Once he died, the Cadens and the Johnstons’ conflict began, but they didn’t completely fall out with each other. Shortly after, the Johnstons and Sullivans' paintings were suddenly stolen, causing them to take action against the Cadens. Then, the Lees surfaced claiming that their painting was also stolen, pointing their fingers at the Cadens too.”“What does this have to do with Sir Caden?” Thea asked indifferently.“Haven’t you thought about the possibility the three families didn’t lie, and their paintings were really stolen, and the culprit could be Thomas? His purpose i

Seeing Hades’ expression, Yaroslav struck while the iron was hot and said, “The Ancient Four have already fallen out, and Tobias is pushing James out right now to get rid of the other three families before the Mount Thunder Conference. Tobias has already allied with the King. The Cadens will help the King eliminate dissidents and consolidate his position.”Bang!Hades slammed the table, causing it to break.He said furiously, “Never! The Johnstons will never fall prey to the Cadens! I’d like to see if James has the ability to touch the Johnstons!”An imperceptible smile formed on Yaroslav’s face, and he continued, “Hades, the three families have to unite to protect each other. I came here for the sole purpose of uniting the three families and dealing with James. We must deal a blow to the Cadens by capturing James alive and forcing him to hand over the painting’s secret.”The suggestion slightly tempted Hades.However, he did not agree to it immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ya
