The Almighty Dragon General

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.
“To put it frankly, Orient Commerce wants to use James to get rid of the Gu Sect and vice versa.
“Moreover, the King is still in the picture. Although he’s a puppet, he’s been in power for decades and can’t be underestimated.
To put it bluntly, James was supported into position by the King. Do you think he’ll just watch James get dismissed?
“That’s impossible.
“Plus, you still don’t know the forces supporting James.
“Behind James is the Celestial Sect and the Cadens. On top of that, the Mount Thunder Sect has a good relationship with him.
More importantly, don’t you know that James’ grandfather is Thomas?
“You both should know Thomas, right? After decades of scheming, he got martial artists from around the world involved in the
Mount Thunder Conference to slaughter the Spirit Turtle.
“Thomas has obtained all the benefits of killing the Spirit Turtle.
“He hasn’t revealed himself yet, but if he does, can you imagine how strong he’ll be?
“Also, there’s one more thing I have to tell you two. Callan isn’t dead yet. Not only is he alive, but he has also recovered his
strength and has been secretly helping James.
You tell me, with James’ current strength, how could he lose? It’s almost impossible that he loses.”
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.”
