These insane thoughts surfaced in her mind despite her already comprehending the Ataraxia. She
found it hard to imagine what would happen to grandmasters who absorbed the Spirit Turtle core
without learning the Ataraxia.
She took a deep breath and picked up the Malevolent Sword. Then, she stood up and left, driving
toward the Cadens' residence.
After James left, Maxine was sitting in the living room, lost in thought.
Soon, an hour passed in the blink of an eye. She only recollected herself when she heard footsteps
approaching. Lifting her head, she met Thea's gaze.
Upon seeing Thea's arrival, Maxine was not surprised at all. Composed and expressionless, she
pointed at the sofa and said,
"Please have a seat."
Thea sat down and put the Malevolent Sword on the table.
Glancing at the Malevolent Sword, Maxine grinned slightly.
"Did you know I would come?” Thea looked at her.
"Hehe~" Maxine smiled slightly, ‘Thea, you've been here in the Capital for two months. In the
meantime, you purchased a courtyard. And throughout the past two months, you never left the
courtyard, but this is only just the surface of things."
"Oh?" Thea looked at Maxine.
After thinking for a moment, Maxine continued, ‘Two months ago, when you first arrived in Cansington,
Luca Caden was competing for the position of the family head with me. When you came, you told me
something bizarre."
Thea remained silent.
Maxine continued, ‘That night, someone broke into the Cadens’ residence and forcibly abducted Luca,
a seventh-rank grandmaster. Then, upon Luca's return, he relinquished his claim on the position and
returned to the Southern Ridge with the Cadens he took along.
"Besides, the Cadens all said that the one who abducted Luca was holding a black sword."
After she said that, she glanced at the Malevolent Sword on the table.
"I suspected you in the beginning, but since you don't have that kind of strength, I found it hard to
believe. However, after becoming the family head, I discovered that all obstacles to my rule have been
removed. Even the Cadens’ cooperation and business deals were easily negotiated.
‘Then came the Celestial Sect, a new sect in the ancient martial world that appeared out of nowhere.
No one has ever seen the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. Rumors say that its Sect Leader uses a
black sword, and her sword technique is unparalleled. They also say that no one can withstand a single
blow from the sword.”
Composed, Thea asked, "What are you trying to say?”
Maxine said smilingly, "Thank you for your help for the past two months. Otherwise, I wouldn't have
secured the position of family head. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to accomplish what I have."
"Do you think I was the one helping you?"
"Are you not?” Maxine asked, saying, "I suspected you in the beginning.
However, I repudiated the idea. After thinking about it seriously though, I was reminded of the fact that
you were contaminated by the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Its blood is a mysterious thing. Powerful figures
risked their lives to slay the Spirit Turtle and seize the core. It was the Spirit Turtle’s blood that boosted
your strength in such a short period of time.”
Maxine stared Thea dead in the eye and asked, "Why did you help me?"
She was puzzled all this while. However, she did not have the chance to question Thea about this.
Since she came knocking on her door, she figured it was the perfect opportunity to ask.
"You know I have a crush on James. Why did you help me secure the position of the family head
regardless?"
"That's because his journey will be treacherous and his enemies will be formidable. You have to help
him out,” Thea said softly.
"I see..."
Realization dawned on Maxine's face.
She could not figure out Thea's objective no matter how hard she tried. Maxine had falsely assumed
that Thea would go to great lengths to avoid her, considering that she was a love rival.
She did not expect Thea to help her because of James.
Maxine asked, "So what seems to be the matter?"
