Chapter 1106
“Madelyn Gabriel,” a voice came.
Madelyn knew that she could not simply head over to the Emperor’s Mansion. So, she got her hands on Thea’s
number and gave her a call.
Hearing this, Thea froze.
James asked, “What’s wrong?”
Thea whispered, “It’s Madelyn.”
Stunned, Maxine furrowed her eyebrows and wondered, “Why would she call at such a time?”
Thea switched the call to speaker mode and asked, “Why did you call?”
“Is James there?”
“No, he’s not. I can deliver your message to him.”
“No, I have to speak with James personally.”

Thea looked at James.
James said, “I’m right here.”
Madelyn said, “Let’s not speak over the phone. We should find a secluded place to meet. After all, informants are
everywhere in the Capital nowadays. I don’t want anyone to know that I’m meeting you. Send me a message once
you’ve decided on the time and place.”
Beep...
Thea asked, “Why did Madelyn call all of a sudden?”
After thinking, Maxine said, “Yaroslav must have been intimidated after hearing that James defeated Hades. So, he
ordered Madelyn to make contact with James to seek cooperation. It’s a good thing, I guess. It saves us the time
looking for him.”
“Seek cooperation? No way.” Doubtful, Thea said, “We should be cautious in extraordinary times. We don’t want to
fall into Madelyn’s trap again, after all.”
Maxine said, “Since James will be the one deciding on the time and place, there’s nothing for us to worry about.”
James was unconcerned. He was not fearful of Yaroslav, let alone Madelyn. All plotting and scheming were

irrelevant when faced with absolute strength.
“Let’s enter the mansion for now. I’ll arrange the meeting with Madelyn later.”
After James entered the mansion, he began making preparations.
Back when he was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains, he did not wield any influence in the Capital.
Now that he was the Emperor, things were much easier.
By his arrangement, he would be meeting Madelyn in a bar tonight. Maxine would be accompanying him.
Initially, Thea did not wish for Maxine and James to be alone.
However, upon being reminded of the Callahans’ words a few days ago, she chose to turn a blind eye. Instead, she
chose to practice martial arts at home.
Before sunset, James and Maxine left.
In the car, Maxine asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong with Thea?
Why would she suddenly allow me to be alone with you?”

James said smilingly, “You’re overthinking things. I mean, what’s the big deal?”
Maxine rolled her eyes. It was impossible to effectively communicate with a man who was awful at picking up subtle
hints.
In a bar at the Capital...
Before James and Maxine had even entered the bar, they could hear the reverberation of the deafening music
from outside.
James and Maxine headed toward a lounge on the second floor of the bar.
Maxine asked, “James, have you ever been to a bar?”
“I came here once with my classmates ten years ago.” Looking at a brunette who was twerking her *ss and the
screaming crowd, he sighed. “Youngsters nowadays are wild.”
“Next, let us give a round of applause to Ms. Kimberley,” said a voice.
Then, a sexy-looking, glamorous woman walked up the stage.
“What?”
Seeing the woman’s appearance, James froze.
