Chapter 1323


    James stood up and said smilingly, “I’ll be taking my leave. Call me if there’s anything.”


    Can stood up and sent James off.


    After James left Can’s residence, he headed straight to the Cadens’ residence.


    Soon, he arrived at the gates of the Cadens.


    Upon seeing James, the guards froze before recollecting themselves and greeted him respectfully,


    “Emperor.”

    Back then, the Cadens─including the servants, guards, and others─looked down on James. Ever since


    the Mount Thunder Conference, James’ name and prestige had spread far and wide in the ancient


    martial world. No one dared dismiss him as an insignificant nobody anymore.


    “Is Maxine here?”


    “The family head is currently outside.”


    “Alright then, I’ll wait inside.”


    James walked straight into the Cadens’ courtyard. At the same time, he pulled his phone out and called


    Maxine.


    At that moment, Maxine was at a business conference in the Capital.


    Seeing that James called her, she smiled brightly and answered the call, “Hello, James.”


    “Congrattions on bing the family head, Maxine,” James said while smiling.


    “It’s all thanks to the Grand Patriarch.” Maxine smiled sweetly. Then, she asked, “Have you left closed-


    door meditation?”


    “Yes, I’m now at the Cadens’ household in the Capital. I have something I wish to discuss with you.”


    “Alright, I’ll return at once.”


    Hearing that James was in the Cadens’ household in the Capital, Maxine left the business conference


    immediately and returned home.


    In just half an hour, Maxine was back. She was wearing a ck overcoat and a white tight sweater


    inside. Her long hair was tied up which revealed her forehead.


    Upon seeing Maxine, James froze.


    Although Maxine was always intelligent and shrewd, she gave him the impression of a pitiful figure.


    Now, she exuded the charisma of a queen.


    “James.” A smile crept up on Maxine’s face.


    “Mhm.” James nodded.


    Maxine walked over to him and took a seat. A servant immediately served them tea.


    Looking at James, Maxine asked, “James, have your injuries recovered?”


    “Yes, they have.” James nodded and said, “Maxine, I have something I wish to discuss with you.”


    “What is it?”


    James asked, “How are the businesses of the Cadens doing in the outside world?”


    He knew little about the business dealings of the Cadens with the outside world. He only heard that the


    Ancient Four was insanely rich.


    “They are doing fine, I guess,” Maxine said. “The Cadens are effectively a mega-conglomerate. We


    have many subsidiarypanies involved in all sectors of society.”


    “Sure thing.”


    Maxine shed a bright smile. After bing the family head, she had announced that the Cadens


    would now be involved with the outside world.


    “What’s your opinion on the matter?” James asked.
