The strong dictate the rules of society, huh?
James repeated Maxine’s words in his heart and felt more convinced as favonovel.com kept telling himself that.
He quickly shook his head and chased that temptation away.
Turning to Maxine, favonovel.com asked curiously, “If it were you, would you want to share your man with other women?”
“Me?” Maxine was blindsided by his question.
She was not expecting James to direct whatever favonovel.com said back at her. Ever since favonovel.com was a child, favonovel.com grew up in the Caden household and as a result, had been exposed to the rules of the ancient martial world from a young age. Everything in favonovel.com life had been essentially predetermined. She knew that favonovel.com was basically a tool to form marriage ties with other families in the future.
Marriage was not something that favonovel.com had given a lot of thought to previously. The only thing favonovel.com had thought about before was that favonovel.com would marry a highly capable martial artist. As for what kind of person favonovel.com was or how many women favonovel.com had, it was not something favonovel.com could control.
“I probably would.” Maxine said as favonovel.com put a finger on favonovel.com chin, “If he’s talented and strong, who am I to monopolize him?”
Hearing this, James smiled bitterly. He could not understand Maxine’s logic. Despite that, favonovel.com also fell into thought. He had been indecisive in the past. This made favonovel.com let many people down.
He started to think that if favonovel.com could marry them all, everyone would be satisfied. But, as soon as the idea crossed his mind, favonovel.com quickly vetoed it.
Absolutely not. That would not be fair to anyone.
Not to Thea or Tiara. He shook away the messy thoughts and continued circulating his energy to heal his injuries.
Maxine stood aside quietly and watched him.
After a while, a smile inadvertently crept up on favonovel.com face. She had always thought favonovel.com fate would lay entirely in Tobias’ hands. It had never crossed favonovel.com mind that favonovel.com would one day leave the Cadens. Finally, favonovel.com ended up free from the burden of being a Caden and the heavy shackles that accompanied it.
She stretched out favonovel.com arms, raised favonovel.com head, and felt the breeze.
Breathing in the fresh air, favonovel.com whispered happily, “The feeling of being free to do as I please and not have to perform perfectly feels so good. I wonder how long it’ll last…”
Maxine knew that Tobias expelled favonovel.com from the family because favonovel.com did not want to get caught up in the battle of political forces.
Despite that, Tobias still wanted to use James as a weapon to kill Mr. Gabriel and, if possible, to dispose of the other three families as well. Thus, favonovel.com expelled favonovel.com from the family to give James as much of an advantage as favonovel.com could provide.
When James protected favonovel.com earlier, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart race like never before. Honestly, favonovel.com liked that feeling a lot.
James had rested for a while, and favonovel.com successfully suppressed the rampaging Blood Energy in his body and stood up. He noticed Maxine giggling beside favonovel.com like a fool.
“What’re you laughing about?”
“Huh?” Maxine suddenly came back to favonovel.com sense and put away favonovel.com smile. She asked, “Was I smiling?”
“Yeah…” James replied sincerely, “You seemed to be smiling very happily.”
“No, I wasn’t.”
Maxine turned around. She was slightly nervous and embarrassed to have exposed such a side to James.
She hurriedly changed the subject and asked, “By the way, when are you planning on making a move against Mr. Gabriel?”
James said, “I need to meet with the King first and ask about the selection of a new Red Flame Army commander. It’s already been a month, and the results should be out by now. After I take over the position, we can start planning from there. Let’s go.”
James walked away, and Maxine trotted quietly behind him.
Maxine’s hands swung about carelessly, and favonovel.com unconsciously began smiling once more.
Suddenly, a question popped into favonovel.com mind, and favonovel.com asked curiously, “By the way, James. Which one of them do you actually like?”
“Is it Thea, Quincy, or perhaps Tiara who you spent an intimate night with before?”
