Chapter 1105

“Madelyn Gabriel,” a voice came.

Madelyn knew that she could not simply head over to the Emperor’s Mansion.

So, she got her hands on Thea’s number and gave her a call.

Hearing this, Thea froze.

James asked, “What’s wrong?” иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Thea whispered, “It’s Madelyn.” Stunned, Maxine

furrowed her eyebrows and wondered, “Why would she call at such a time?” Thea switched the call to

speaker mode and asked, “Why did you call?” “Ts James there?” “No, he’s not.

I can deliver your message to him.” “No, I have to speak with James personally.” Thea looked at

James.

James said, “I’m right here.” Madelyn said, “Let’s not speak over the phone.

We should find a secluded place to meet.

After all, informants are everywhere in the Capital nowadays.

I don’t want anyone to know that I’m meeting you.

Send me a message once you've decided on the time and place.” Beep...

Thea asked, “Why did Madelyn call all of a sudden?” After thinking, Maxine said, “Yaroslav must have

been intimidated after hearing that James defeated Hades.

So, he ordered Madelyn to make contact with James to seek cooperation.

It’s a good thing, I guess.

It saves us the time looking for him.” “Seek cooperation? No way.” Doubtful, Thea said, “We should be

cautious in extraordinary times.

We don’t want to fall into Madelyn’s trap again, after all.” Maxine said, “Since James will be the one

deciding on the time and place, there’s nothing for us to worry about.” James was unconcerned.

He was not fearful of Yaroslav, let alone Madelyn.

All plotting and scheming were irrelevant when faced with absolute strength.

“Let’s enter the mansion for now.

I'll arrange the meeting with Madelyn later.” After James entered the mansion, he began making

preparations.

Back when he was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains, he did not wield any influence in the

Capital.

Now that he was the Emperor, things were much easier.

By his arrangement, he would be meeting Madelyn in a bar tonight.

Maxine would be accompanying him.

Initially, Thea did not wish for Maxine and James to be alone.

However, upon being reminded of the Callahans’ words a few days ago, she chose to turn a blind eye.

Instead, she chose to practice martial arts at home.

Before sunset, James and Maxine left.

In the car, Maxine asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong with Thea? Why would she suddenly allow me to be

alone with you?” James said smilingly, “You're overthinking things.

I mean, what’s the big deal?” Maxine rolled her eyes.

It was impossible to effectively communicate with a man who was awful at picking up subtle hints.

Ina bar at the Capital...

Before James and Maxine had even entered the bar, they could hear the reverberation of the deafening

music from outside.

James and Maxine headed toward a lounge on the second floor of the bar.

Maxine asked, “James, иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм have you ever been to a bar?” “I came here once with my

classmates ten years ago.” Looking at a brunette who was twerking her *ss and the screaming crowd,

he sighed.

“Youngsters nowadays are wild.” “Next, let us give a round of applause to Ms. Kimberley,” said a voice.

Then, a sexy-looking, glamorous woman walked up the stage.

“What?” Seeing the woman’s appearance, James froze.
