Chapter 1434
After learning that Thea was not the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, James felt relieved, i
However, he also felt a tiny bit of disappointment.
In his subconscious mind, he had hoped that the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect was his wife.
With such a powerful wife, he would no longer have to work as hard. He would be able to live off of her.
He shook his head, tossing away the jumbled thoughts in his head.
"Right, do you know of the Valhalla Sect?" James asked while looking at Maxine.
'The Valhalla Sect?" Maxine wore a confused expression and cast a glance at James.
She asked, "Why are you asking about the Valhalla Sect out of the blue?"
"On my trip to Durandal, I learned a few things.
They have some connections to the Valhalla Sect," said James.
Maxine pondered for a while and said, "I’ve heard Grandpa mention it before.
It seems to be an organization from a hundred years ago.
Their president was a traitor who served hostile nations.
After Sol was founded, the Valhalla Sect was never heard of again."
"Can you investigate it for me with the intelligence network of the Caden family?"
James was currently desperate to find out where Rodent from the Valhalla Sect was.
Even though the Polaris Sect's investigation was still ongoing, having another person look into it wouldyield faster results.
"Sure, I'll keep an eye out for you."
"How was the situation in the Capital these past few days, by the way?"
James had departed amid much fanfare previously. He knew that after he left, the Capital would not bepeaceful.
Now he was back, but he came to the Cadens' mansion after arriving without making any inquiries orinvestigations into the situation in the Capital.
Hearing his words, Maxine's expression darkened.
She pondered for a few moments before turning to face James and said," The situation is notencouraging.
Ill start with Orient Commerce. After you left Sol, the vice president of Orient Commerce appeared outof nowhere and began consolidating the seemingly uncooperative Orient Commerce.
After a few days of consolidation, Orient Commerce gradually came together from a disjointed mess."
'The vice president? Who's that?" James' face became solemn.
"It's Sky, the King of Sol a century ago. He's also the leader of the four most powerful elites servingunder the president of Orient Commerce, as well as the mentor of Mr. Lee, the man behind the currentKing," said Maxine.
James knitted his brows.
This was definitely not good news to him.
"What else?"
Maxine continued, "Aside from that, there are some military issues.
During the last few days, military personnel has been constantly changing. A number of higher-rankinggenerals have been dropped in. There’s even a new army."
"A new army?" James inquired, puzzled, "What army?"
Maxine explained, 'This army is referred to as the Phantom Army.
According to information gathered by the Caden family, the members of the Phantom Army are allancient martial artists.
There aren’t many members. There are only about ten thousand of them right now, accounting forroughly four percent of all ancient martial artists in Sol."
"Who is the commander of the Phantom Army? What kind of authority does this newly assembled armyhave?"novelbin
James asked calmly. He was rubbing his temples with his hands.
James was the Dragon King, the commander of the Black Dragon Army, as well as the commander ofthe Red Flame Army.
He held one of the highest positions in the army. He might even be regarded as its head.
According to standard procedure, his sign of approval was necessary for the transfer of any general.
Nevertheless, someone had gotten around him and brought in some generals. Now, even the PhantomArmy had been formed without his knowledge.
Who put together the Phantom Army?
Was it the current King?
Or perhaps the King from a century ago?
Or Lucjan from the Gu Sect?
"I knew you'd be interested in hearing about this when you got back, so I kept an eye out for you,"Maxine looked at James and said. "You'd never guess who the Phantom Army's commander is."
"Come on, don't leave me hanging. Who is it?"
Maxine enunciated each word slowly, "My grandpa, Tobias."
"What?"
James stood up abruptly in shock. With a look of astonishment and disbelief, he asked, 'Tobias. You'resaying that the commander of the Phantom Army is Tobias?"
"Yeah." Maxine sighed and said, "Grandpa was missing for more than two months.
Now all of a sudden he reappears, as the Phantom Army's commander, no less. I wonder who is themastermind behind the Phantom Army."
