Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 1274

Gloom was shocked by the news.

Maxine as the family head?

As the King’s personal bodyguard, Gloom had a strong intelligence network in the Capital. Although he did not have complete information on the affairs of the major families in the Capital, he practically knew almost everything. Thus, he knew that Maxine was not blood-related to the Cadens.

He could not believe that Maxine was the family head.

After a momentary shock, he looked at Maxine and asked, “Why are you telling me all these things? Could it be that the Cadens are refusing to acknowledge you as the family head? Do you want to use the King’s power to strengthen your position in the Cadens?”

Maxine smiled.

Dealing with intelligent people saved a lot of hassle.

“It’ll be a mutually beneficial cooperation. As long as I remain the head of the Cadens, I’ll stand by the King’s side and become his most loyal partner.” Maxine thought for a while and asked, “By the way, does the King have a candidate in mind for the new King for the next election in the following year?”

Gloom shook his head and said, “That is confidential information. How would a bodyguard like me know?”

Maxine continued, “James has climbed the hierarchy incredibly fast. He’s both the Dragon King and the Emperor. Is the King simply using him or deliberately training him?”

“I don’t know anything about that.” Gloom shook his head slightly, but he was genuinely startled by her question.

Rumor had it that Maxine from the Cadens was a legendary tactician.

Just from this one brief conversation, Gloom was surprised that she could say so much with so little.

Maxine smiled and said, “If I’m the head of the Cadens, I’ll surely grow the family bigger in the next few years. With the status of the Cadens in the ancient martial world, it won’t be challenging to summon all of the martial artists worldwide. James’ strength in the country is already at its peak, but I know him well. He isn’t interested in the position of the King but is dedicated to serving the country’s people. Thus, no matter who the new King is, he’ll have fewer obstacles with my and James’ support.

“If James could become the King, that would be even better. With my relationship with him…”

Gloom waved his hand and interrupted Maxine, saying, “I’ll relay your words to the King when I return.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Maxine watched Gloom leave with a faint smile on her pretty face.

Behind her, Ryder reminded, “Ms. Maxine, the Cadens have never involved ourselves in the outside world’s affairs. This has been a rule since ancient times. Throughout history, the governments have gone down the path of destruction, and despite having the chance to save them, the Cadens have never provided any help. Now that you’re talking about cooperation with the King, will it…”
