Chapter 1078
However, Maxine could not figure it out.
"How would I know?"
Thea shook her head.
She, too, was unsure of Thomas’ intentions.
All she knew was that everything was not to harm but to help James.
"Is that so? Then, have you ever felt that Thomas is the one behind everything?"
"What do you mean?"
Thea looked at Maxine.
Maxine thought for a while and said, "Let's start from when James killed the previous Emperor.Once he died, the
Cadens and the Johnstons’ conflict began, but they didn’t completely fall out with each other.Shortly after, the
Johnstons and Sullivans’ paintings were suddenly stolen, causing them to take action against the Cadens.Then, the
Lees surfaced claiming that their painting was also stolen, pointing their fingers at the Cadens too."

"Haven't you thought about the possibility the three families didn’t lie, and their paintings were really stolen, and
the culprit could be Thomas? His purpose is to arouse conflict between the Ancient Four and make them fight
against each other."
Thea glanced coldly at Maxine and said, "Why would he do that? Stop thinking you’re so smart, Maxine.These are
just your conjectures, and you shouldn't spout nonsense without any evidence."
"Indeed, these are just my conjectures.As for why, if the person behind Mr.Gabriel is Thomas, won’t it make so
much sense that Mr.Gabriel stood up and proposed the Ancient Four resolve their conflicts during the Mount
Thunder Conference?"
Maxine continued to analyze the situation.
"Thomas was the person behind Mr.Gabriel, and his purpose was to make the Ancient Four turn against each
other.That way, he could propose the Mount Thunder Conference.If a conflict didn’t exist between them, no one
would be interested in the conference even if it was suggested.However, if the Ancient Four were fighting against
each other, the conference would be lively as countless martial artists around the globe would actively participate
to see what the Ancient Four would do at the conference."
Hearing this, Thea frowned. Maxine’s analysis was straightforward and logical, making her slightly convinced.
After thinking for a while, she asked, "Then, why would Sir Caden want the conference so desperately? What would
he gain from it? What is he trying to accomplish?"
"Of course, the position as the Great Grandmaster.The power of being the leader of the ancient martial world is
much greater than being the King of Sol.Although the King is the country's lord, he doesn’t have authority over the
ancient martial artists.However, being the Great Grandmaster will give one the power to command all the martial
artists in Sol.Wouldn’t it be easy to become the ruler of the world with countless martial artists under one’s
command?"
Thea laughed.
"That simple? The ruler of the world? You're overthinking it."
Maxine rolled her eyes at Thea and said, "You don’t understand the temptation of power.It’ll make one insane and
possess one’s mind.Throughout the ages, countless wars have broken out, and many lives have been lost for this
position.Standing on top, looking down on the world, and being in control is incredibly tempting."

Thea shook her head and rejected Maxine’s suspicions.
"He may not be, but there isn’t just one person behind Mr.Gabriel.There’s a whole faction behind
everything.According to my analysis, Thomas has other plans and is using the faction to his advantage."
"Then, what do you think Sir Caden is trying to do?" Maxine fell into thought.
What exactly did Thomas want to do? She could not figure it out yet.
Judging from the current happenings, it seemed that Thomas was indeed trying to help Mr.Gabriel or was the
person above him.
"Could it be that the people behind Mr.Gabriel have something Thomas wants? So, he’s helping them in exchange
for it? "Maxine murmured.
"Stop acting smart and making random guesses, Maxine.Things might be completely different from what you
think," Thea said disdainfully.
Maxine gently shook her head and said, "No, I have to be right.But, what’s the reason?"
From her understanding of Thomas, he was obsessed with martial arts.
"Could it be the ninth rank?"
The ninth rank was the most significant height of martial arts.No one knew what being in that rank was like nor how
powerful it was.
