Chapter 950
After James had left, Luther approached and stood beside Cynthia. He opened his mouth and reminded her. “Miss, there are plenty of women around James. I hope you don’t get involved in his love life.”
Cynthia side–eyed Luther and sneered. “Your imagination’s run amok. That won’t happen.”
“But you’re going to practice the Dual Cultivation method with him…”
“Alright, that’s enough out of you. Quit nagging. Go back to the North if you’ve got nothing better to do.” Cynthia looked at him with a displeased expression.
Luther wisely snapped his mouth shut.
James had not slept in the past few days. He was bound to feel physically and mentally exhausted even if he had the stamina that comes with being a martial artist. He collapsed into the sweet embrace of his bed as soon as he reached his room.
Meanwhile, in a particular courtyard within the Capital…
The courtyard had the feel of a historical relic that was hundred of years old. It was built mainly with wood and was painted red. From afar, the house seemed incredibly vibrant and festive–looking.
Inside a room within the courtyard house…
A man in his 50s sat by a fire and held his hands over the glistening coals, occasionally flipping them to draw out more heat.
Standing beside him was a girl who looked to be about 18 or 19 years old. Her name was Madelyn Gabriel.
“Madelyn, you’ll have to leave the Capital and head to Cansington to take control of the situation.”
He spoke calmly as if he were talking about a trivial matter as he warmed his hands.
“Sir, must I really go? ” Madelyn’s face held an expression of surprise.
“Mhm.” Mr. Gabriel nodded impassively.
“We have not been able to proceed with our plans since the Emperor was killed. There has been a constant clamor of dissatisfaction from our allies. Since the Ancient Four’s conflict has escalated, Cansington won’t be on their radar for now. Mr. Lee is focused on keeping himself safe. He fears that the Ancient Four will direct his ire onto him. As for the rest, they plan to monitor the situation for now and announce their stance during the martial art conference in two months. This will be our last chance.”
Madelyn asked, “What do you need of me?”
Mr. Gabriel cocked his eyebrow as he glanced at her in mild disappointment. “You’re a wise young lady. Does it still need to be explained to you? You’ve stayed here almost all your life and never took a single step outside. Nevertheless, you are well acquainted with the outside world and have a good understanding of the situation there. Mr. Lee used James to kill the Emperor and forcibly spark a conflict between the Ancient Four. These facts are obvious to you, I’m sure.
“Among the Cadens, there is a girl named Maxine who is exceptionally talented and astute. She is rumored to be sharp and observant. Nothing gets past her. I believe that you, however, are above her. You’ll immediately make a big impact as soon as you involve yourself. I have the utmost confidence in you.”
“Alright. I understand.” Madelyn nodded.
“Go.” Mr. Gabriel waved his hand.
