Chapter 1102
“I understand.”
Madelyn nodded.
“Alright now, you’re free to go. I haven’t slept well for the past few days, so I’m going to take a nap in my room."
Yaroslav stood up. He did not know if he could fall asleep, but apart from taking a nap, there was nothing else he
could do.
He returned to his room and lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep.
It had been many years since he last felt such anxiety. He closed his eyes, and a million thoughts flashed through
his mind.
Suddenly, as if reminded of something, he jumped off of his bed.
A few days ago, Thomas came and told him about James’ strength. He told him that he would certainly die at
James’ hands. However, he also said in the end that he could survive if he thought of a way.

Yaroslav thought of a possibility.
Thomas must have been hinting at something. He was reminding him to cooperate with James to survive.
Yaroslav would not have thought so if it was anyone else telling him this. However, this was Thomas Caden, James’
grandfather.
Even though Thomas had cooperated with the organization before and had some sort of authority, he was still
James’ grandfather.
“Is Thomas trying to remind me that there’s an alternative path?”
He murmured. Then, he immediately called Madelyn.
Madelyn was currently trying to locate James’ whereabouts. She wanted to find an opportunity to approach him and
signal their wish to cooperate with him. Before she could begin her investigation, she returned immediately upon
receiving Yaroslav’s call.
In a room...
Yaroslav was warming his hands on a bonfire. Even so, his body was shivering.
Madelyn walked in. Upon seeing this, she asked, “Mr. Gabriel, are you suffering from a relapse of Frost Venom?”
Yaroslav shook his head and said, “It’s a chronic disease of mine, so I’m already used to it. Since my cultivation
method is flawed, it causes my body to shiver. By the way, I was reminded of what Thomas told me.”
“Thomas?”
Madelyn froze.
Yaroslav told her honestly, “Thomas is the Leader’s VIP. He has helped the Leader out before. It was he who told
me that James planned to kill me and his current strength. Not only that, he even said something else.”
Yaroslav told Madelyn the whole truth.
“Madelyn, is Thomas trying to tell me that our only way out is by cooperating with James? Is Thomas’ objective to
annihilate the Leader through James’ hand?”
Madelyn was deep in thought. After a while, she said, “Based on what you said, it’s certainly likely. But how is
Thomas still alive? Isn’t he long dead?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You don’t understand. Thomas has been cooperating with the organization the whole time. He’s a shrewd and
cunning man. No one knows what he wants.”
Upon mentioning Thomas, Yaroslav’s expression turned grim.
All this while, he had been meeting him alone.
Thomas was good at concealing his identity. For decades, no one knew of his existence. Even Thomas could not
figure him out.
However, he was sure of one thing—Thomas was strong. So strong in fact that even the Leader might not stand a
chance against him.
Upon hearing this, Madelyn said, “Since Thomas has given you the hint, we should simply do as instructed.”
“But I don’t want to...” Yaroslav said with a frustrated look on his face. “I don’t want to be a pawn. I want to hold my
fate in my own hands.”
Madelyn hurriedly said, “Surviving should be our priority. I’ll find a way to make contact with James. Then, I will
arrange for a secret meeting with him.”
“Got it. But be careful not to let your guard down. The organization’s informants are everywhere. Do not give
yourself away.”
“Understood.”
