“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?”
