James was unable to accept such things.They currently lived in an era of peace where everyone was supposed to live as equals. No one was supposed to be inferior to others.He stood up, took the cigarette, and left. He opened the balcony door and walked outside. Standing on the balcony, he looked toward the distant landscape covered in snow.Seeing that James was completely uninterested in them, they had no choice but to get dressed.“Sir…”James was deep in thought as he looked into the snowscape when a sudden cry brought him back to the present.He returned to his senses and looked at the two women coming out to the balcony.The twins were identical and had even the same height as if lifted from the same mold. They were even dressed the same.James reassured them gently. “You don’t have to do anything for me. Don’t worry. I’ll keep you two safe while I’m here.”“Okay.”The two nodded simultaneously and bowed gratefully. “Thank you.”James sighed in relief and walked back

Hearing Callan being mentioned, James could not help asking, “Is Callan still alive? Is he still the current Supreme Commander of Gu Sect?”Lucjan smiled but did not answer James’ question. Instead, he changed the topic. “James, I’m expecting a lot from you. I believe your strength and talent will reach their full potential if you join me.”“You drive a hard bargain. Fine, I’ll join you.” James nodded after hesitating a moment.Lucjan laughed and clapped his hands together gleefully, “Atta boy! Come, drink.”Aphrodite and Venus quickly poured out the wine for the two men.They had a grand feast, but James ate silently throughout the meal without saying much.After eating, he returned to his room along with Aphrodite and Venus.A middle-aged man downstairs turned to Lucjan. “Sir, is James really someone we should trust?”Lucjan paused for a moment before he replied, “He killed Mount Thunder Sect’s leader, Jackson, to save his friends. I have eyes in Mount Thunder Sect. All the

Soon, James returned to the villa and leaped onto the second-floor balcony. He was about to enter his room when an unexpected voice from behind caught him off guard.“Where did you go?”James turned to the sound and saw an old man sitting in a lotus position in the courtyard.Lucjan jumped and instantly appeared on the second-floor balcony.James looked at him calmly, but internally his heart was racing.He had specifically checked the area before leaving. There seemed to be no one around, and he took great caution to ensure he was not being followed. He never expected Lucjan to spot him on his way back.James shrugged and replied, “I bored in the room, so I went for a short walk. What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to leave?”“Of course, you can.”Lucjan parted his mouth and said, “James, I really like you and I genuinely hope that we can work together as comrades instead of me having to use the poison against you.”“That’s out of the question.”James refused. “This is the last t

Tobias suddenly asked her sternly, “What exactly is James playing at?” Maxine was taken aback by the sudden change in tone. “Huh? What do you mean? Grandpa, what’s the matter? Did something happen?”Tobias’ voice then took on a slightly surprised tone. “Are you not with James currently?”“No, he left before me. I just arrived in Terentville.”Tobias said, “News spread that James showed up at Mount Thunder Sect. He fought and defeated the sect leader, then took him away with him. Afterward, he left Jackson’s head at Mount Thunder Sect’s entrance. They’ve issued a bounty for his head across the globe. Anyone that hunts him down and kills him will be rewarded greatly. The sect’s treasure, the Frost Sword, would also be included as a reward.”Maxine stood up abruptly when she heard the news. “What? Grandpa, is this news accurate?”, she asked as her voice shook in disbelief.“Of course. It came directly from Mount Thunder Sect.”Maxine instantly lost the strength in her legs, and sh

It did not take long for Quincy to send a set of coordinates to Thea.Quincy's phone had been taken away from her during the time they were held captive, so she had no idea where they were being held.Upon their release, they were not restrained any longer and so she had the opportunity to observe her surroundings.Thus, she knew the place they were held was near Terentville.Judging by the speed at which the car traveled to Terentville airport, she could roughly guess the villa’s location.Thea looked at the large red circle indicating the approximate location of the villa on the map sent by Quincy and frowned. “This is way too vast of an area. This covers about dozens of kilometers. How are we supposed to find him with this?”Maxine took a look and raised her brow, saying, “She’s definitely given us a wide zone where James could be, but we still have to try anyway. There’s not much time before the Mount Thunder Conference. Countless champions from major sects and families are p

“What about Maxine? Both of them are together right now.”“Maxine…” Lucjan paused once again. “This person is of no use to me. If I treated this as per usual, I’d just kill her, but she’s close to James and has quite an interesting background. However, I heard she’s quite a calculating person. We can’t have her come here. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to persuade Thea with her around.”, he said.“Alright, I understand.”“Go, you’re dismissed.” Lucjan waved his hand dismissively.The subordinate promptly left the room.Soon, James walked downstairs, accompanied by the beautiful twins.“You’re finally awake, James.” Lucjan stood up and walked over to hug James cheerily.“How was it? Did you sleep well last night?”James brushed Lucjan’s arm away and stopped him from getting closer.He walked over to the sofa and sat down. “I slept well. When do I start your next task? After I do what you want, I’d like you to give me the antidote, and we’ll part ways,” James said simply.“I see th

With someone following, James had no choice but to wait for the right opportunity to act.Not saying much in reply, James turned around and walked out of the villa with the Blade of Justice in his hand.Lucjan looked at Bryce and ordered, “Follow closely.”“Understood.” Bryce nodded.He walked out of the villa and quickly caught up with James, shouting, “James, the car is ready. There is several days' worth of food in there. Let’s get in.”As he spoke, he pointed to an off-road vehicle outside the yard.James walked over, opened the back door of the off-road vehicle, and sat in the back row. Bryce got into the driver's seat.Aphrodite and Venus also climbed into the car, each sitting on each side of James.One of the twins held on to James’ arm, and the other leaned into James, looking very intimate.James did not say much. Bryce started the car and drove to the Mount Thunder Sect.After driving for some time, the car stopped as it could not proceed any further.Bryce st

Thea was also shocked by the sight.What was going on?“W-Who are you people?” Thea looked at the people kneeling on the ground.The man in the lead said respectfully, “Ms. Thea, the Dragon King has given us the order to escort you to the villa.”Thea was stunned and quickly questioned, “James? Where is he?” “Please come with us, Ms. Thea. You’ll know once we arrive at the villa.”Maxine walked toward Thea, cast a glance at her, and asked, “You don’t believe their nonsense, right?”Obviously, Thea did not believe them. She was not that stupid.However, James was being controlled, and meeting up with him would be challenging. Still, it was necessary to meet up with him to discuss the situation.Thea replied, “I’ll come with you.”Maxine quickly pulled her back and said, “Are you stupid? James went through so much trouble to rescue Quincy and the others. You’ll be walking into a trap if you follow them. Wouldn’t you be causing him more trouble if they captured and used you to
