Thea trusted Thomas. However, Maxine’s words made sense. It was worth a try. James thought about it. His objective was to execute Mr. Gabriel, lure the Gu Sect out, and catch them all in one fell swoop. On the contrary, by cooperating with Mr. Gabriel, he would learn more about the Gu Sect. This was a pretty good deal as well. “Alright, I’ll go visit the Sullivans and the Lees. But I don’t know where their residences are.” “I’ll go as well,” Maxine said, “Grandpa once brought me there. I know the way.” “Mhm,” James agreed. With Maxine showing the way, it would be much less cumbersome. Unwilling to provide them an opportunity to be alone together, Thea hurriedly said, “I’ll go as well, Darling.” “Thea, this is serious business.” “I know. I’m not the Thea from before. As a third-rank martial artist, I’m even stronger than Maxine,” she said and glanced at Maxine. Aware of what Thea was concerned about, Maxine said smilingly, “Sure, why not?” “Let’s go then,” James said

In the suburbs of the Capital… A convoy stopped at the foot of a hill. Three people got off the convoy. They were James, Thea, and Maxine. James pointed at a courtyard at the foot of the hill and said, “This is the Sullivans’ residence. Let’s get moving.” Then, he walked toward the Sullivans’ residence with Thea and Maxine following close behind. Soon, they arrived at there. Before they even knocked on the door, the door opened, and a twenty-year-old-looking man walked out. He was Skylar Sullivan, a disciple of the Sullivans’ main branch and Maxine’s suitor. Skylar was playing around with a pair of car keys in his hand. Noticing there was someone by the door, he unconsciously lifted his head. Upon seeing James and the others, a shiver ran down his spine. He stumbled back into the courtyard and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Help, James is here!” News of James defeating the Johnstons’ Patriarch had spread. Now, they knew of James’ unrivaled strength. Hearing Skyl

The three of them were shocked by Zaiden’s words. “Yes…” Zaiden asked, “He’s too strong. If he wasn’t this strong, he wouldn’t have the ambition to conquer the world.” James knew that Yaakov Johnston, Grand Patriarch of the Johnstons, was 160 years old. Even ordinary people could live up to a hundred years if they pay attention to their health, let alone martial artists. If Callan Maverick managed to escape back then, he would only be around 140 years old now. There’s a possibility that he’s still alive. Seventh-rank a hundred years ago at the age of forty? He had to be a genius. Now that a hundred years have passed, he must have made a breakthrough into the eighth rank. Thinking about this, he took a deep breath. Maxine asked, “What else do you know about Mr. Gabriel?” Zaiden shook his head slightly and said, “He’s a mysterious man. The Sullivans know little about him. I only know that he cultivates True Frost Energy, albeit through a flawed cultivation method. This caus

It was Delilah Kimberly, daughter of General Kimberly of the Southern Plains, and a famous actress. As far as James could remember, she seemed to be a renowned figure in the entertainment industry. However, he could not understand why she would be here singing in a bar. “Are you acquainted with her?” Maxine asked, seeing James’ expression upon noticing the woman on the stage. “Yes…” James said, “She’s the daughter of a general of the Southern Plains. His father was killed in combat during a mission.” “Oh.” Delilah walked up the stage. She was wearing a revealing dress, through which her white lace bustier top could be seen. The crowd erupted into an uproar. “Delilah!” “Delilah Kimberly!” “Twerk your *ss!” The screams and the obscene remarks reverberated throughout the bar, and the atmosphere was pushed to the climax. However, Delilah only smiled. She began to sing, and it was music to the ears. Then, she finished singing. Just as she was about to leave the sta

After hanging up the phone, James helped Delilah up and said, “Let’s go.” “Mhm.” Delilah nodded and left the bar alongside James. Meanwhile, Maxine followed close behind. After leaving the bar, James pulled his phone out and called Madelyn. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.” James frowned. “Huh, weird…” Maxine said, “The dynamics in the Capital are complex. All families and forces have informants everywhere. It’s only natural for her to be extra cautious. After all, she’ll be dead if she’s discovered. Let’s return for now and wait for another opportunity to show itself.” James did not think much about it. Looking at Delilah, he asked, “Have you eaten?” Delilah shook her head. James brought her to a nearby restaurant and requested a private room. In the private room, James asked, “What happened? How did you end up singing at a bar?” Delilah was still wearing James’ jacket. Taking a sip of a glass of warm water, she said, “My family went ban
