Chapter 1477

“But, I just feel something is off about them.”

“What is?”

“Do you not think so? Why would the Celestial Sect offer to help me? There’s no reason for them to do

so. I suspect their Sect Leader is someone I know.

Maxine replied with a smile, “Perhaps it’s your grandfather. Sir Caden is a very mysterious person and

even created the God-King Palace. It’s not surprising if he also created the Celestial Sect. Isn’t that so,

Thea?”

“Yeah.”

Thea nodded her head and said, “It’s possible. I also think the Celestial Sect’s leader is Sir Caden.

Even if it’s not him, it must be his subordinate. Otherwise, why would they help James for no reason?”

The two cooperated with each other.

James was convinced by them.

“Since that’s the case, I don’t have anything to worry about. By the way, I bumped into the family heads

of the Lees and Sullivans at your gates. What’s that about?”

Maxine explained, “It’s not a big deal. I simply chatted with them and asked them to pick a side. I tried

to convince them to support you.”

“Thanks a lot.”

“We’re a family. Why’re you speaking as if we’re not? Is there anything else? If not, I have to get back

to business.”

Maxine stood up.

She would have accompanied James a while longer if he was alone, but Thea was also present.

Thea’s presence made her uncomfortable.

“That’s all. You should head back to work. I’ll also take my leave.”

James stood up, bid farewell, and turned to leave.

He left the Cadens’ mansion with Thea.

Before arriving home, Delainey called him.

She said the one thousand martial artists from the Mount Thunder Sect had arrived in the Capital.

“Mr. Caden, the Mount Thunder Sect’s real estate in the Capital can’t accommodate so many people.

Could you help make arrangements for them?”

“Alright, I’ll make arrangements right away.”

James hung up the phone and called Henry.

He instructed Henry to personally see to the accommodation of the people Delainey brought from the

Mount Thunder Sect.

Afterward, James personally received Delainey.

Inside a room of a high-end hotel in the Capital, Delainey looked at Thea.

She was a woman, but upon seeing Thea, she was also in awe of Thea’s beauty.

Thea was gorgeous.

“Mr. Caden sure is lucky to have such a lovely wife.”

Thea pouted and smiled. “Thanks for the compliment.”

James smiled faintly.

Delainey did not say anything more about the matter and changed the topic.

“After I returned to the Mount Thunder Sect, I narrated the events to my father. Then, you called, and

my father instructed me to lead our disciples to support you. My father has already decided to stand on

your side. You’ll have to work hard from now on and not lose this battle. If you lose, the Mount Thunder

Sect will follow in the path of the Gu Sect a hundred years ago.”

James was startled and asked, “It shouldn’t be that bad, right?”

“It will be.”

Delainey wore a solemn expression and said, “Whoever wins will not want any other person or force to

threaten their position.

“It’ll be just like a hundred years ago. The Gu Sect was destroyed, and Orient Commerce was

established. If it weren’t for the fear that the situation would go out of control, the King of a hundred

years ago would never have given up the benefits. He would definitely have destroyed all the other

opposing forces.

“The situation is very different now. No matter who wins, there will be a huge purge to eliminate those

who threaten the winner’s position.”

Hearing this, James sighed helplessly.

He really did not want things to be this way.

Every decision he made would affect the life and death of a huge bunch of people.

Delainey looked at James and said solemnly, “Mr. Caden, you’ve no way out and will have to get rid of

Orient Commerce and the Gu Sect. You must take control of Sol. There’s no backing out anymore.

You’re no longer fighting alone but have countless people behind you. If you fail, these people will all

have to die. Do you understand?”
