The Almighty Dragon General

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."
"What does this have to do with Sir Caden?" Thea asked indifferently.
"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.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMaxine’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."
"Sir Caden isn’t someone like that."
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.
