Chapter 1808


    “Mhm.” Thomas nodded.


    “Maxine, why did you leave the Caden household and establish Floret Pce?” Thomas


    questioned.


    Maxine lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice, “I-I was bored and wanted to find something


    else interesting to do. That’s why I established Floret Pce. However, after establishing it, I


    realized that life is even more boring now.”


    As she said that, she lifted her head and looked at Thomas, asking, “By the way, have you seen


    James over the past three years? Since you founded the state of Japura, I assume that James is


    currently helping you out.”


    Hearing this, Thomas sighed. He tried convincing James to join him three years ago. However,


    James turned down his offer.


    “I have not seen James since we parted ways three years ago.”


    “What?” Stunned, Maxine said, “No way! As your grandson, he should be helping you out after you


    established Japura. I even thought that he’d have a high position in Japura.”


    “Ha… It’s a long story…”


    He was speechless when it came to James. As a Caden, instead of lending his family a helping


    hand in establishing a dynasty, he chose to live a life of seclusion with his wife.


    “Granduncle.” Maxine’s expression suddenly turned grim.


    “Hmm?” Thomas looked at her.


    Maxine said anxiously, “It is my understanding that James is a man with strong national loyalty. Now


    that you’ve established Japura, your nation will surely expand outward. Ultimately, your interests will


    end up shing with Sol’s. Once you make a move against Sol, James will surely stand in your


    way.”


    Maxine voiced her thoughts.


    Thomas had thought about the possibility. However, since James was his grandson, he could not do


    anything to him.


    “Granduncle, James only has Thea on his mind. If you get rid of her, James might have a change of


    heart.”


    When he heard this, Thomas looked Maxine in the eye. She immediately lowered her head and


    remained silent.


    “What do you mean by that, Maxine?” Thomas questioned.


    Maxine stammered, “I-I didn’t mean anything by that. That was just my honest opinion. I-I have


    something else to attend to. I’ll be taking my leave.”


    Then, she hurriedly turned to leave.


    As Thomas watched her retreating figure, his expression turned grim.


    Tobias behind him whispered, “Maxine may look soft and gentle on the outside, but she is in fact an


    ambitious woman. You can tell by how she resorted to underhanded tactics to secure her position


    as the family head of the Cadens. Your Majesty, you have to tread carefully in this matter.”


    Although Tobias was technically Thomas’ brother by blood, he knew his own ce as a subordinate


    of His Majesty. So, he showed great reverence toward Thomas.


    “I know what I must do.”


    After he spoke, Thomas turned to leave.


    In the distance…


    Maxine stopped and looked at Thomas and the others from on top of the mountain. Then, a smirk


    crept up on her beautiful face.


    She believed Thomas would make the decision.


    “If I can’t have James, no one else can! I’ve been waiting for this day toe for a long time, Thea!


    So what if you are impregnated with James’ child? The fun’s just getting started.”

    The smile on her face froze, and her expression darkened.


    At the same time, in the pristine forest at the peak of Mount Kirkton…


    Though dested and uninhabited, the ce was getting increasingly rowdy.


    The battle between Sky and Omniscient Deity would take ce tomorrow at noon, but many martial


    artists had arrived early.


    James waited patiently at the back of the mountain. Soon, Thomas, along with his entourage,


    appeared.


    Upon seeing his entourage, James’ expression turned grim. He knew that Tobias, Lucjan, and the


    others were alive and even made the guardians of Japura.
