Chapter 991
Now, James had a somewhat rough idea that the failed plan from a century ago was to dominate the
world using Gu venom.
In its lead was the Mavericks, one of the three major families of the Gu sect.
Of course, they were not the only ones involved. Many other forces must have played a part in the
plan.

As for how the plan came to an end and the secret it held, even Maxine was unaware.
Now, the plan from a century ago was back in action. Those involved had to be stopped.
“By the way, what do you plan to do with all this wealth?” Maxine asked.
James shrugged and said, “I never expected that Madelyn, the person in charge of Centennial
Corporation, would try to stop me. Now that the Blithe King and the helicopters have left, it’d be rather
difficult to bring these golden bricks back.”
James pondered.
After a few seconds, he continued, “Worse comes to worst, we’ll ask the God-King Palace to bring
them back.”
“You mustn’t,” said Maxine hurriedly. “Everyone is currently guessing which side the God-King Palace
is on. As it possesses tremendous strength, it won’t be appropriate for us to show our hand just yet.
After all, everyone will know that the God-King Palace is on your side once it helps you bring this
wealth back.”
James thought about what she said and agreed with her analysis.
The God-King Palace was the ace up his sleeves. He could not reveal it just yet.
“What should we do, then?” James was in a bind.
This wealth was worth trillions of dollars.
Without it, they would not be able to win a protracted struggle against Centennial Corporation. The few
hundred billion from Blake was not enough.
Maxine shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. In any case, the God-King Palace mustn’t show
itself. Apart from Grandpa, no one else knows about them. We’ll come up with some way to get the
money.”
“I guess that’s the only way for now.” James nodded.
The two sat in front of the bonfire the whole night, discussing martial arts and the current political
dynamics.
In the blink of an eye, the sun had risen.novelbin
The two got up and left Mount White.
Since the helicopter had left, they could only traverse the mountains to leave this place. Then, they
would go to a nearby city and buy a plane ticket black.
Though the path was treacherous, they were martial artists. As such, it was no big deal for them. By
noon, they had descended Mount White.
After walking along the road for quite some time, James stopped a car that was passing by and
requested the driver send them to a nearby city.
By the time they reached the city, the sky was already dark.
As this was a small city, there were no airports, so they could only call for a taxi and head to a city with
an airport to return to the Capital.
Though James wanted to return to Cansington, he was worried about the volatile situation in the
Capital. Besides, since Madelyn had made the photographs public, he was concerned that Maxine’s
return would get the Cadens involved.
At an airport’s departure lounge in a city near Mount White…
James pulled out his phone and called Quincy to inquire about the situation in Cansington.
He learned that Messiah Corporation had begun courting some smaller businesses in secret. However,
Longevity Pharmaceuticals had been challenging the other hospitals and pharmacies non-stop, which
forced some of them to close shop.
The situation was dire.
“Is Cynthia doing alright?” James asked.
Quincy replied, “Her condition is stable. She’s practicing martial arts very rigorously.”
Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ll be heading to the Capital and will return to Cansington in a few days. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Got it. I’m busy right now. I’m hanging up.” Quincy hung up the phone.
Maxine, who was beside James, glanced at him and asked, “Is everything alright in Cansington?”
