Chapter 1052
The Almighty Dragon General
Maxine followed closely behind James.
After the two left, Tobias walked out of the Cadensâ mansion.He stood at the gates watching the figures
of James and Maxine gradually disappear from his view.His wrinkled face gradually darkened as he
murmured, "When did this kidâs energy get so strong? Even if he had opened his Governor Vessel,
Conception Vessel, and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it's impossible for his True Energy to have
gained this amount of power in such a short time."
Tobias was confused and could not come up with a plausible explanation for Jamesâ newfound
strength.
This left him increasingly anxious and restless.
After leaving the Cadensâ mansion, James and Maxine found a secluded place to rest for a while.
James sat in the lotus position and circulated his True Energy to quell the Blood Energy in his body.
While healing his injury, he asked with his eyes still closed, "Did anything happen in the outside world in
the time I stayed with the Grand Patriarch?"
"Nothing significant has happened.Ah, wait! Quincy called from Cansington, saying she was
overwhelmed and needed your advice.Since you were practicing in the backyard, I didnât think bother
you about it."
"What's the situation in Cansington?"
"Madelyn has been acting quickly.Within a month, they launched countless new drugs and promptly
seized the domestic pharmaceutical market.Theyâve also signed contracts with hospitals across the
country and become the primary drug supplier for major hospitals.Meanwhile, Messiah is on the brink
of bankruptcy.Apart from recruiting some smaller families and businesses, there hasnât been much
development on that front."
Maxine briefly explained the recent development in Cansington.
"We're not in a rush.Our target is Mr.Gabriel.We must eliminate the ones closest to him first before
moving onto the main event.Madelyn will be our first target,"иÏνÑâÑвÏÏк.¢ÏмJames said calmly.
"Um...By the way..."
Maxine suddenly recalled something and said hesitantly, "While you were practicing the Thirteen
Heavenly Swords, Tiara got engaged, but..."
James glanced at Maxine.
"But what?"
Maxine spoke haltingly, "I wanted to ask for your opinion but didnât want to interrupt you since you were
busy practicing the Thirteen Heavenly Swords technique.I took matters into my own hand and ruined
her engagement ceremony."
"Huh?"
Jamesâ posture crumbled as he turned to Maxine in shock.
Maxine twirled a lock of her own hair and smiled.
"Although you and Thea have reconciled, I was worried you might regret it.So, I disguised myself as
you and snatched Tiara away from her engagement ceremony.Then, I sent her back to Cansington."
James had a hard time trying to come up with a coherent response to Maxineâs rash actions.
Maxine was creating conflicts for no good reason.However, he could not entirely disapprove of
Maxineâs actions.He was still unsure of his feelings for Tiara.
"You donât need to do this anymore...But thanks."
Maxine pouted and smiled.
"Thea is a decent woman, but Tiara is also a good girl.She looks soft but is surprisingly
determined.Sheâs been waiting for you to give her an answer all this while.Yet, youâve never said
anything.I took the liberty of telling her that you'll bring her to live in seclusion in the countryside after
sorting out all the troublesome things.She was ecstatic and even said she didnât care that you were
with Thea.Sheâs happy just being able to stay by your side."
Maxine spoke as if what she did was a trivial matter.
James pinched his temples and said in a resigned tone, "Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
"Thatâs because you've grown up in the mundane world.In the ancient martial art world, itâs completely
normal for a strong man to have several wives."
"Is that so?"
James was at a loss for words.
"Of course."
"The strong dictate the rules of society.If you really desire it, itâs not a big deal if you want Thea, Quincy,
or all of them by your side.Youâre not only strong but you're also a hero.Youâre destined to have more
than one woman at your side."
Hearing this made James even more speechless.He never thought about it that way.
Throughout his whole life, he wanted to spend it with only one person.
A personâs heart had only enough space for one person.
How could he marry them all? The idea itself was extremely unthinkable.
