Chapter 1318
Thea brought up the Celestial Sect, but when faced with James‘ question regarding the newly–established sect, she feigned ignorance.
James‘ expression was grim. Nothing good would come out of the Celestial Sect, which had appeared out of nowhere.
After a brief moment, he asked, “Is there any other news in the ancient martial world apart from the newly established Celestial Sect?”
“That’s all.” Thea continued, “Apart from Lucjan Owen, all other eighth–rank grandmasters who appeared at the Mount Thunder Conference have not shown themselves for quite some time. By the way, the current situation in the Capital is grim.”
“Oh?” James froze before asking, “What’s the situation in the Capital?”
“According to Maxine’s information, Lucjan arrived in the Capital a month ago and began meddling in the affairs of the outside world. He founded another Owen family, which has been involved in many business dealings. The interests of the Ancient Four were somewhat damaged.
“Also…” She paused before continuing, “Maxine is now the family head of the Cadens. I must say that she’s doing a great job toeing the Cadens‘ line.”
“Maxine is now the family head of the Cadens?”
Hearing this, James was stunned. He never expected Maxine to be the Caden family head.
“Mhm.” Thea spoke in a tender voice, “Though she’s not powerful, she’s good at managing the family.”
“By the way, is there news about Bennett and Tobias Caden?”
“Not yet.”
James began discussing the affairs that took place in the Capital for the past two months with Thea. Apart from Lucjan who was causing trouble, everything else seemed to be stable at the moment.
The two slowly drifted to sleep, and James slept soundly. When he woke up, Thea was nowhere to be seen.
He got up, dressed, and looked at the time. It was 10 a.m. Pulling his phone out, he gave Henry a call.
Soon, the call went through, and Henry’s agitated voice came, “You finally called me, James. I don’t think I can bear much longer.”
