However, Maxine could not figure it out.
“How would I know?” Thea shook her head.
She, too, was unsure of Thomas’ intentions.
All she knew was that everything was not to harm but to help James.
“Is that so? Then, have you ever felt that Thomas is the one behind everything?”
“What do you mean?” Thea looked at Maxine.
Maxine thought for a while and said, “Le’s start from when James killed the previous Emperor. Once he died, the Cadens and the Johnstons’ conflict began, but they didn’t completely fall out with each other. Shortly after, the Johnstons and Sullivans' paintings were suddenly stolen, causing them to take action against the Cadens. Then, the Lees surfaced claiming that their painting was also stolen, pointing their fingers at the Cadens too.”
“What does this have to do with Sir Caden?” Thea asked indifferently.
“Haven’t you thought about the possibility the three families didn’t lie, and their paintings were really stolen, and the culprit could be Thomas? His purpose is to arouse conflict between the Ancient Four and make them fight against each other.”
Thea glanced coldly at Maxine and said, “Why would he do that? Stop thinking you’re so smart, Maxine. These are just your conjectures, and you shouldn’t spout nonsense without any evidence.”
“Indeed, these are just my conjectures. As for why, if the person behind Mr. Gabriel is Thomas, won’t it make so much sense that Mr. Gabriel stood up and proposed the Ancient Four resolve their conflicts during the Mount Thunder Conference?” Maxine continued to analyze the situation.
“Thomas was the person behind Mr. Gabriel, and his purpose was to make the Ancient Four turn against each other. That way, he could propose the Mount Thunder Conference. If a conflict didn’t exist between them, no one would be interested in the conference even if it was suggested. However, if the Ancient Four were fighting against each other, the conference would be lively as countless martial artists around the globe would actively participate to see what the Ancient Four would do at the conference.”
Hearing this, Thea frowned.
Maxine’s analysis was straightforward and logical, making her slightly convinced.
After thinking for a while, she asked, “Then, why would Sir Caden want the conference so desperately? What would he gain from it? What is he trying to accomplish?”
“Of course, the position as the Great Grandmaster. The power of being the leader of the ancient martial world is much greater than being the King of Sol. Although the King is the country's lord, he doesn’t have authority over the ancient martial artists. However, being the Great Grandmaster will give one the power to command all the martial artists in Sol. Wouldn’t it be easy to become the ruler of the world with countless martial artists under one’s command?”
