Chapter 1140


    She was no longer the frail and defenseless Thea who allowed people to bully her.


    “Thea, trust me. I’ll bring back the Cahans. I’ll bring them back even if it means risking my life.” After


    saying that, he looked at Maxine and said, “Maxine, go back to Cansington with Thea. The situation in


    the Capital is tooplicated and unpredictable, you should stay out of it for the time being.”


    “I can’t do that,” Maxine objected immediately. “If I go with you, I can offer you advice or strategize with


    you during a crisis. Besides, you don’t even know much about ancient martial artists. You also have no


    idea who are the elites among the ancient martial artists. I am somewhat knowledgeable about that. If


    you take me along, I can assist you.”


    “Are you aware of what will happen at Mount Thunder this time?” James asked with a grave


    expression. “The Great Four already had a falling out. During the Mount Thunder Conference, the other


    three families will team up and attack the Cadens. You’re a member of the Caden family. If you''re there,


    they won''t have any mercy for you.”


    “As a Caden, that’s all the more reason I should go,” Maxine spoke without hesitation.


    Both of them were very determined to go to Mt. Thunder. They genuinely wanted to help James. He


    knew he could not persuade them.


    James stood up and swiftly touched their acupuncture points, sealing both of their True Energy.


    “You–James, what are you doing? Unseal my acupoints.”


    “Honey, quickly unseal my acupoints. I can help you, I really can. I want to go with you to Mount


    Thunder Sect. My grandfather, my father, and my brother were all taken to Mt. Thunder. How could I


    not go?”


    They were both perturbed.


    “Come in,” James said loudly.


    The door to the room was pushed open and a few guards entered.


    “Sir.”


    “Bring Maxine and Thea safely to the Red me Army’s base and find ck Shadow General. Inform


    ck Shadow to make arrangements for their return to Cansington and to detain them temporarily. Do


    not release them until the new year,” James instructed.


    “Yes.” The guards gave a loud and uniformed response.


    “James, can you not be so rude and impetuous?” shouted Maxine, “Unseal my acupoints. I’ll go with


    you.”


    “What are you doing, Honey? Why do you always shoulder everything on your own? Why don''t you let


    me share some of your burdens…” Thea began to sob.


    Jamesmanded, “Take them away.”


    “Yes.”


    The guards forcefully took Maxine and Thea away.


    James returned to his room once again. He looked at the de of Justice on the table and picked it up.


    He drew the de…


    Then, he contemted the de of Justice with a hint of darkness in his expression. A bleak,


    murderous aura was radiating from him.


    The de of Justice was put away in a sheath. Holding the de of Justice, he put on an overcoat and


    walked out of the room. He left the Emperor’s Mansion, then the Capital, and began his journey to the


    Mount Thunder Sect.


    Meanwhile, in the Capital, at the Peace Mansion.


    “King, James has already left the Capital.”


    The person who was talking was Gloom. He had left for a few days and went to Mount Thunder Sect.


    Then he returned after assigning some men to nt explosives in secret.


    “Okay.”


    The King nodded his head gently and said, “I didn''t anticipate Lucjan to kidnap people from Cansington


    when he became agitated. He even forced James to leave for Mt. Thunder early so he wouldn''t be able


    to handle the affairs in the Capital.”


    “King, what should we do now?” Gloom inquired.


    “All we can do is wait until the Mount Thunder Conference. I never expected everything to be resolved

    before the Mount Thunder Conference in the first ce. Since James has already left, we’ll put it on


    hold for now. Once the conference is over and Gu Sect is dealt with, it will be much easier to take care


    of the others.” said the King.


    “Gloom…”


    “Give me yourmand, King.”


    “Mr. Lee already left for Mount Thunder Sect yesterday. Go and meet him there.”


    “Alright.”


    Gloom turned and left in a hurry.


    The King stood up as well and moved around, releasing the tension in his body. For a split second, his


    face darkened. “The Mount Thunder Conference has finally arrived. I hope there won''t be any mishaps


    this time. After this conference, everything wille to an end.”
