Chapter 1059
Maxine continued. “The only eighth-rank grandmaster we know of is the Great Patriarch of the Blithe family.
They’re demonstrating great ambition and will definitely attend this conference. If the Blithes are part of the Gu
Sect, that’ll be troublesome for us.”
Maxine was worried.
James had no supporters. It was not feasible for James to face an entire faction all on his own.
“It’s no big deal. The King will lend me a hand if the situation turns dire. After all, it’s a battle between two factions
and not mine alone.”
“I'm relieved, but...”
Maxine glanced at Jams and said, “If the eighth-rank grandmaster doesn’t attend, then the Great Grandmaster will
be selected from the seventh-ranked grandmasters. You've already stepped into the sixth rank, and with your

“What do I still have to do?” James looked at Maxine and cocked his brow.
“You'll have to sabotage the conference,” Maxine smirked.
“Now, with everything laid out, we need someone to sabotage the conference so it can’t proceed smoothly.”
“Oh, what's your plan?”
“I don’t have one yet. I’ll have to see how everything unfolds first.”
James and Maxine discussed the details of their plan in the Emperor’s mansion.
Meanwhile, Madelyn arrived in the Capital and made her way to an independent suburb courtyard to look for Mr.
Gabriel.
“Mr. Gabriel, the situation has changed. The King may be planning to take action soon.”
Madelyn looked at the middle-aged man warming himself by the fire with a worried look on her face.
Mr. Gabriel asked calmly, “What did you hear, pray tell?”
“James has been appointed as the new Emperor.”
“That’s not a surprise. The position has been vacant for some time now, and someone had to be appointed
eventually. Unfortunately, our side did not manage to garner enough votes,” Mr. Gabriel replied offhandedly.
Madelyn took a breath before continuing, “Maxine was kicked out of the Cadens. These two incidents aren’t a
coincidence. The three families from the Ancient Four are targeting the Cadens. Now that the relationship between
the Blithes and the Cadens has fallen apart, the Cadens don’t have any allies. The only way for them to protect
their family is by allying with the King.”
“That cunning fox Tobias knew that if he declared his allegiance right now, other families would follow suit and start
picking sides.
The forces will be clearly divided, and a battle will break out. Thus, he kicked Maxine out of the family so she could
help James without involving the Cadens.”
Madelyn explained her view on the situation.
Mr. Gabriel did not seem the least bit perturbed and said indifferently, “So what? What can James do?”
It was all part of his plan to force the Cadens into a corner where they would have no choice but to ally with the

When that happens, the other three families that show resentment toward the Cadens would naturally choose an
opposing side.
He waved his hand and said, “Go back to Cansington. Our time is running out. We need to speed things up.”
“Understood.”
Madelyn silently and reluctantly left the room. She specifically rushed back to Cansington to warn him, but Mr.
Gabriel seemed entirely unbothered. It was as if this was all part of his plan too.
After leaving the room, Madelyn murmured with a serious expression, “Could it be that Mr. Gabriel is holding onto a
trump card? I wonder who or what it is.”
Madelyn was unable to figure it out and stopped thinking about it. She shook her head and left the courtyard.
At the same time, James and Maxine were waiting for Blake and
Thea’s arrival.
The two rushed over to the Capital once James had called them.
At noon, Blake arrived at the Emperor’s Mansion.
“Tsk, tsk! James! You were already Dragon King of the Southern Plains, and now you're also the new Emperor in
charge of the Red Flame Army? You are only second to the king in terms of power in Sol!” Blake began to ramble
after sitting down.
