The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 1475

Chapter 1475

“Mrs. Lee, Mr. Sullivan, I’m sure you two are aware of the Capital’s current situation. The division of forces has gradually become clear. Several factions have begun to take action, and almost all major families and ancient martial artists have taken their stands.”

Yasmine looked at Maxine and said softly, “Is the reason you asked to meet us to convince us to pick a side? I heard you did not hesitate to ask for the King’s help to stabilize your position as Caden’s family head.”

“Ha, the King?”

Maxine chuckled and said, “The current King is just a puppet. Although he has established his own circle of power during his reign, he does not have the power to stabilize my position as the family head. Someone else assisted me.”

“Who?”

Yasmine and Zaiden asked simultaneously.

Maxine replied calmly, “The Celestial Sect.”

The two stood up simultaneously and exclaimed, “The Celestial Sect?”

“Yes,” Maxine replied honestly.

Yasmine and Zaiden’s expressions became solemn.

None of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere became tense.

After a while, Zaiden asked, “Whose side are you on, Ms. Maxine? Is it James’?”

“Yeah.”

Maxine nodded and said, “I’m supporting James.”

“Is it your intention to convince us to side with James?” Yasmine sighed.

“James’ power is the weakest among all the other factions. In fact, he has no power to do anything. Orient Commerce could dismiss James from his positions any minute if they wanted to do so. Then, he’ll just be a martial artist. Apart from being strong, he doesn’t have any authority to accomplish anything.”

“Do you think it’s that simple?”

Maxine said with a faint smile, “You’re only looking at things on the surface, Mrs. Lee. What you said is indeed the truth. However, no matter how strong the Gu Sect and Orient Commerce are, they don’t want each other to have absolute dominance. Thus, they’re using James to maintain this balance. None of them dares to dismiss James. Otherwise, the balance between these two factions would be tipped off.

Maxine said a lot to convince them.

Both Yasmine and Zaiden fell into silence.

After Maxine’s long speech, they realized James had gained many supporters without them noticing.

Not considering the others, just the Celestial Sect’s leader, Thomas, and Callan were existences that could overpower the ancient entire martial world.

Maxine continued, “The Capital will soon fall into chaos. In the next battle, whoever wins will acquire the whole nation. Who would you like to see win? Orient Commerce?

If they won this battle, do you think our nation would be in peace for another hundred years?

That’s just a dream. A hundred years ago, Lance was afraid of the rebellion of the ancient martial families and established Orient Commerce, providing benefits to your families.

“However, do you really think this’ll continue for another century?

“That’s impossible. If I were him, if I won after this election, I’d eliminate the forces that could pose a threat against me in the future. It’d be just like the battle against the Gu Sect a hundred years ago.”
