He would have fallen to the floor if not for the seatbelt. His heart was racing and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure. When he looked at her again, all he saw was a beautiful woman looking at him puzzledly.Her eyes were no different from an ordinary person's and in fact, was even more beautiful.Thea looked at Francisco, turned away, and looked out the window without saying a word. The scenery outside the window was a wide blue sky with white clouds drifting serenely through it.“Was I seeing things?” Francisco mumbled to himself in confusion. He eventually concluded that he must have imagined it.After taking a deep breath to ready himself once more, he smiled brightly and said, “Hello, my name is Francisco. I’m from Terentville. I own a barbecue restaurant franchise and I’ve opened more than 30 chain restaurants already. I’m planning to expand my business to the Capital and am heading there to survey the market.” Thea ignored him.Her indifference baffle
Chapter 1257
The Johnstons’ animosity for James was way past the stage of simple hatred. They absolutely despised his very existence.He abolished their family head’s cultivation base, leaving him on the brink of death and bedridden.It was also he who brought the strongest member of the family low and the reason that they were now without their Grand Patriarch.They all knew that James had been severely injured.Even if he did not die, he would at the very least be crippled for life.Despite his current condition, the Johnstons were not willing to bury the grudge they had against him.The moment they saw Thea, they felt the flames of resentment towards James were rekindled once more.Seven to eight family members drew their swords in a flash and surrounded Thea.“Thea, not even divine intervention can save you from your fate today! Mark my words!” One of the younger Johnstons said with his teeth bared at her.Thea looked at the Johnstons, and the scene of James taking Yaakov’s decisive bl

The surrounding buildings were being reduced to rubble one after the other.The Johnstons were all fleeing like frightened rabbits.“Die! Kill them! Hurry up and kill them! They all deserve to die!”A voice kept ringing in Thea’s head as it attempted to take control of her.“No, I can’t! This isn’t right!”Her consciousness reminded her desperately that she should not harm anyone else.She felt lightheaded and hazy as the voices of countless demons trying to goad her echoed in her ears.She quickly sat in a lotus position on the floor and performed Malevolent King’s cultivation method, Ataraxia.Repeatedly and shakily, she recited the cultivation chants.The loud cacophony of voices in her head slowly subsided.She had no idea how much time had passed since she began cultivating. She opened her eyes after calming down, looked at her surroundings, and saw a corpse on the ground with its blood staining the floors a rusty red.What’s more, the Johnstons’ courtyard house looked

Despite looking like a corpse, James was still breathing.However, he would die as soon as he stopped.Sorrow welled up in Maxine’s heart when she saw James in such a state.On the floor beside him, an old man was sitting in a lotus position.It was an old man with long white hair that had a few black strands scattered around it.He had a wrinkled face and seemed incredibly frail.Maxine took her eyes away from James and looked at the old man. Immediately, she frowned as she had never seen such a person in the Caden family before. Who was this old man?“Next.”At that moment, the person pouring his True Energy into James stopped.He took out an elixir, consumed it, and began to regenerate his True Energy.Creak!The wooden door was pushed open.Walking into the room was Tobias, who had rushed back to the Capital. He glanced into the room and motioned to Maxine.Maxine immediately understood and walked outside to meet him.Outside the room, Tobias asked, “How’s James doing

“Where did he go?”Bennett was still on the floor when he left the basement.He did not hold back in his attack and hit Bennett’s chest at full force. Bennett was unprepared for the sudden attack and should not have survived the blow.Yet, he seems to have disappeared into thin air.Maxine asked puzzledly, “Grandpa, what’s wrong? What are you looking for?”She noticed the blood on the floor but was unsure what had happened for it to be there. Tobias wore a solemn expression. He was severely injured and did not have enough energy to clean up the mess, so he intended to bring Maxine to dispose of Bennett’s body quietly.There were going to be severe consequences if Bennett escaped and survived.Tobias knew his death was all but certain if Bennett recovered and regained his strength.He had to leave and make his escape as soon as he could.Instead of replying to Maxine, he turned around and hastily left the basement.Tobias frantically walked away and in his rush, reopened mor

Thomas arrived at the Cadens’ mansion with Thea.When Maxine saw them, her face went as white as a sheet.The two of them approached the mansion at a steady pace.Soon, they appeared at the mansion’s gates.Maxine was slightly nervous but still walked forward and greeted them with a forced smile, “Granduncle. Thea. What brings you here?”Thomas glanced at Maxine.Maxine’s heartbeat hastened as soon as she met his eyes.She pretended to be ignorant and asked with a smile, “Granduncle, Thea, why are you two back in the Capital as well? Also, what happened at Mount Thunder Sect, Thea? Why were you emitting such awful energy ?”“I…”Thea lowered her head and parted her lips to speak but could not bring herself to say anything.Thomas did not question Maxine about how she led him astray and asked bluntly, “Is James in the Cadens’ mansion right now?”Maxine nodded and replied, “Ah, yeah. James undergoing treatment in the backyard.”Thomas raised his head and looked at the plaque

Callan was also startled by the sudden occurrence. He quickly raised his hands, shielding his frightened face as he was continuously pushed backward by the force.“This is bad.”Thomas was caught off-guard and frantically mobilized his True Energy to suppress the rioting Blood Energy within Thea’s body.Soon, Thea calmed down.Looking at the devastation she caused, a look of embarrassment crept up on her face.“Sir Caden, this…”Thomas gently waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.”Thea asked, “C-Can James still be saved?”Thomas’ expression became serious again.Maxine got up from the ground and walked over to them. She looked at Thea with shock in her eyes.Callan’s eyes were also locked on Thea.Thomas thought for a while and replied, “His injuries are terrible, and almost all his life forces were severed. I’m unsure whether I can save him, but I’ll have to try.”He was not confident he’d be able to save James this time.Thomas looked at James, raised his hand, and powerf

“Our Grand Patriarch?”According to her conjecture, Bennett had been attacked by Tobias.However, she too was uncertain of his whereabouts.She only had uncertain postulations that she was unable to verify, so she did not dare to tell him.“I-I don’t know. I didn’t see him after returning home.”Thomas did not ask any more questions and returned to the shattered wooden house.He walked over and said, “Thea, bring James back to Cansington to recuperate.”Thea was taken aback and wondered aloud. “Huh? Do you mean right now, Sir Caden? James hasn’t woken up yet. Is it okay for him to be traveling around in this condition?”“Cough, cough.”Suddenly, James, who had been lying motionlessly, weakly coughed a few times.He slowly opened his eyes, and a beautiful face filled his vision.“Thea…”He called out feebly.Seeing James wake up, Thea almost shed tears of joy. “Honey, you’re awake! Thank god, you’re alive. You’re finally awake.”Thea wept joyfully.James attempted to ge
