Chapter 1076
Madelyn was lost in thought.
After a while, she said, "Sir, what did the upper-ups says about your survival?"
"They didn’t say much, except that I could live if I found a way to survive."
Madelyn nodded and said, "If that’s the case, we’ll stir up the situation.As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of
the Mount Thunder Conference, we can buy as much time as possible.The conference is only less than a month
away."
Yaroslav asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
Madelyn said thoughtfully, "There’s a way.James must’ve gotten the King’s permission to kill you.However, the King
fears that the situation will get out of control after you die.This is the only reason he hasn’t touched you all these
years.Since he’s allowed James to kill you, he won’t be providing him any help.Judging by how Maxine was expelled
to help James, the people supporting James are the Cadens.
"That cunning man, Tobias, knows the severity of the situation and doesn’t dare to act rashly.Thus, their plan was to

"Some time ago, the paintings of the other three families were stolen, and the biggest suspect was the Cadens.The
Ancient Four’s relationship collapsed, which is why the holding of the Mount Thunder Conference was suggested.
"Now that the Cadens are trying to make a move, we could ask the other three families for help.
"Under the circumstances that the King doesn’t give James any help and Tobias refuses to make big moves, we
could try to win over the other three families.We can’t expect complete protection, but we can at least take
measures to ensure that James won’t act recklessly.It shouldn’t be difficult to stay alive until the Mount Thunder
Conference."
Yaroslav's eyes lit up after hearing Madelyn’s plan.
"you're right! As long as we win over the other three families, James won’t be able to act recklessly.Then, I'll be able
to survive.At the same time, I won't be sabotaging the leader’s plan.I'll be able to regain my power after the Mount
Thunder Conference."
"Exactly.It’s just that the Ancient Four isn’t going to pick sides easily, so it’s not going to be easy to win them
over.However, it’s still worth a try.We don’t have to make them pick a side.We just need them to stand against the
Cadens," Madelyn replied.
Madelyn gave Yaroslav a plan.
They did not need the three families to stand on their side but against the Cadens.
The other three families had had enmity with the Cadens for a long time and might be afraid of them, but they
would not be scared of merely James.
Madelyn’s analysis made complete sense.
"I can’t delay this any longer.I have to go and seek out the three families."
Seeing hope of survival, Yaroslav stood up without hesitation and said, "Madelyn, come with me."
"Of course, Mr.Gabriel."
The two left the courtyard and went to look for the three families of the Ancient Four.
Meanwhile, James returned to the Emperor’s Mansion from the military region.
Thea was practicing Heavenly Breath in the courtyard, while Maxine was sitting in a gazebo nearby, holding onto a
pack of nuts and chewing on a few while watching Thea practice.
Thea saw James walking over and quickly rushed toward him.

"Of course, why would it not? I just went to the military region for a walk," James replied and glanced at Thea while
wondering why Thea had become so caring.
"James." Maxine also walked over.
"Mihm."
James nodded in response.
Maxine frowned and said, "After thinking about it again, I think our plans were too simple.Mr.Gabriel has been in the
Capital for many years, and even the King never dared touch him.It seems arrogant for us to think we can kill him."
James was unbothered and replied calmly, "What’s so difficult about it? After thoroughly investigating and obtaining
information about him, we can immediately proceed as planned.I control the Red Flame Army and the thousands of
soldiers in it.This time, it’ll be extremely difficult for him to escape from the Capital."
Maxine glanced at James and said, ‘"That’s true, but Mr.Gabriel is a shrewd person and would’ve guessed that the
King’s purpose in giving you the position is to get rid of him."
"He may know that I’m going to kill him, but he doesn’t know my strength.He might not be taking me seriously at
all."
