Chapter 1076


    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.”


    Yarov 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 n was to get Maxine to advise James.


    “Some time ago, the paintings of the other three families were stolen, and the biggest suspect was the


    Cadens. The Ancient Four’s rtionship copsed, which is why the holding of the Mount Thunder


    Conference was suggested.


    “Now that the Cadens are trying to make a move, we could ask the other three families for help.


    “Under the circumstances that the King doesn’t give James any help and Tobias refuses to make big


    moves, we could try to win over the other three families. We can’t expectplete protection, but we


    can at least take measures to ensure that James won’t act recklessly. It shouldn’t be difficult to stay


    alive until the Mount Thunder Conference.”


    Yarov''s eyes lit up after hearing Madelyn’s n.


    “You’re right! As long as we win over the other three families, James won’t be able to act recklessly.


    Then, I’ll be able to survive. At the same time, I won’t be sabotaging the leader’s n. I’ll be able to


    regain my power after the Mount Thunder Conference.”


    “Exactly. It’s just that the Ancient Four isn’t going to pick sides easily, so it’s not going to be easy to win


    them over. However, it’s still worth a try. We don’t have to make them pick a side. We just need them to


    stand against the Cadens,” Madelyn replied.


    Madelyn gave Yarov a n. They did not need the three families to stand on their side but against


    the Cadens.


    The other three families had had enmity with the Cadens for a long time and might be afraid of them,


    but they would not be scared of merely James.


    Madelyn’s analysis madeplete sense.


    “I can’t dy this any longer. I have to go and seek out the three families.” Seeing hope of survival,


    Yarov stood up without hesitation and said, “Madelyn,e with me.”


    “Of course, Mr. Gabriel.”


    The two left the courtyard and went to look for the three families of the Ancient Four.


    Meanwhile, James returned to the Emperor’s Mansion from the military region.


    Thea was practicing Heavenly Breath in the courtyard, while Maxine was sitting in a gazebo nearby,


    holding onto a pack of nuts and chewing on a few while watching Thea practice.


    Thea saw James walking over and quickly rushed toward him. She stretched out her hand,


    straightened his cor, and asked warmly, “Honey, did your trip go well?”


    “Of course, why would it not? I just went to the military region for a walk,” James replied and nced at


    Thea while wondering why Thea had be so caring.


    “James.” Maxine also walked over.


    “Mhm.” James nodded in response.


    Maxine frowned and said, “After thinking about it again, I think our ns were too simple. Mr. Gabriel


    has been in the Capital for many years, and even the King never dared touch him. It seems arrogant


    for us to think we can kill him.”


    James was unbothered and replied calmly, “What’s so difficult about it? After thoroughly investigating


    and obtaining information about him, we can immediately proceed as nned. I control the Red me


    Army and the thousands of soldiers in it. This time, it’ll be extremely difficult for him to escape from the


    Capital.”


    Maxine nced at James and said, “That’s true, but Mr. Gabriel is a shrewd person and would’ve


    guessed that the King’s purpose in giving you the position is to get rid of him.”


    “He may know that I’m going to kill him, but he doesn’t know my strength. He might not be taking me


    seriously at all.”
