When favonovel.com heard that James had been captured, Thea’s heart sank in favonovel.com chest. She turned to Thomas, pleading with favonovel.com for his help.
Thomas sat on the sofa and rubbed his chin. He was deep in contemplation. After a while, favonovel.com looked up again at Thea.
Thea felt a shiver go down favonovel.com spine as favonovel.com was stared at by Thomas.
Wearing a distrustful expression, Thea asked, “Wh-What are you looking at me for?”
Thomas smiled slyly. “I have a plan.”
“Huh? What plan?”
“Give me a minute, please…” Thomas got up and left the room.
Thea sat down on the sofa and waited patiently.
After half an hour, Thomas returned with a human mask in his hand.
“Come here, please…”
Thea walked over to Thomas and looked at favonovel.com apprehensively.
Thomas swiftly attached the human mask to Thea’s face.
Thea’s appearance suddenly changed drastically.
When favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com reflection in a nearby mirror, Thea could see that favonovel.com face had completely changed. However, Her facial features were just as refined as before.
“What the…?”
Thomas’ eyes shone ambitiously. “From now on, you’ll be called Maxine Caden.”
“Maxine Caden?” Thea froze when favonovel.com heard the last name.
Thomas nodded. “Correct… Please remember your identity. You’re now a Caden, Tobias Caden’s granddaughter, to be precise. You’ll head over to the Johnstons and demand them to hand over James to you. Don’t worry because you’ll have the Four Great Protectors of the God-King Palace by your side.”
“B-But am I up to the task?” Thea trembled.
She knew what the Johnstons were fully capable of. Their family was renowned for having many members who were highly skilled in Martial Arts.
Last night, it took all the courage favonovel.com had just to keep up favonovel.com façade. Now, favonovel.com was worried that she’d fail if favonovel.com went to save James.
Thomas patted favonovel.com shoulder gently and said, “James’ fate is in your hands. After saving him, you’ll finally be able to return to Cansington alongside him.”
“O-Okay…” Thea acquiesced at the promise of returning to Cansington with the man favonovel.com loved.
“I will prepare a disguise for you.” As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com briskly walked out of the room to begin his preparations.
He returned two hours later with a vintage dress along with some ornaments and handed them to Thea.
After getting changed, Thea was now truly a different person. Nothing was left that could identify favonovel.com as Thea Callahan.
“Remember, do not linger at the Johnstons after you get James out. Don’t say anything to favonovel.com either. Your job is just to get favonovel.com out of there safely.” Thomas warned her.
As favonovel.com was worried that Thea would ruin his plans, favonovel.com took his time to drill the fact into favonovel.com head.
Thea paid close attention to his every word. Spent the entire day imitating Maxine Caden’s mannerisms and walking style at the hotel.
Thomas even showed favonovel.com a few photographs of several Johnston family members. That was because the real Maxine Caden was acquainted with some of the Johnstons. As such, Thea’s cover would be blown if favonovel.com failed to identify them.

Soon, nighttime had fallen.
Thomas questioned favonovel.com once more, “Have you memorized them all?”
Thea nodded. “Yes.”
“Get going then.”
“Got it!”
After Thea left, Thomas’ face darkened. He pulled his phone out and looked at the time. Then, favonovel.com headed out as well.

The Johnstons’ headquarters in the Capital’s suburbs was located in an extremely large manor.
Light shone through the numerous windows of the manor.
A few people had gathered furtively on an empty patch of land.
In the lead was Hades, the patriarch of the Johnstons household.
Kennedy, a number of other important figures of the household, the four highly skilled martial artists, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, and the Four Sisters, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
Everyone was lying in wait.
Though they did not know who would come tonight, they knew that the events that were going to happen would have great impact on the dynamics of Sol.
A man was lying prone on the ground before them. His life hanging by a thread, the man could only lay there helplessly and in agonizing pain.
That man was James Caden.
