Chapter 1276
Before they knew it, they had arrived in the Cansington Military Region.When James boarded the plane, the Capital Military Region had already contacted and notified them of James’ arrival.Before the plane landed, the Blithe King was already ready, waiting with a group of people.The plane landed, the cabin door opened, and James’ party walked out.The Blithe King and his subordinates walked over. “James…”James heard the Blithe King’s voice upon alighting the plane.The Blithe King approached James and said with a bright smile, “Welcome back to Cansington, James!”The Blithe King had also heard about the situation at the Mount Thunder Conference.The situation was dire, and he thought James was in danger, but here he was, returning in one piece.“Yadiel, come quickly and meet Mr. Caden,” the Blithe King called a young man behind him.Behind him, a young man in his early twenties stepped forward and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Caden.”The young man, who was dressed

Thea was slightly disappointed.She could not understand James. These people were merely friends. Yet, instead of returning to the Callahans first, he would rather see them before anything else.Although she was upset, she remained silent.A military vehicle drove up to her, and a soldier got out. He saluted and shouted, “Dragon King, please get into the vehicle. I’ll send you back.”“Mhm.” James did not refuse and got into the car.The military vehicle sent James to the villa district where Cynthia’s villa was located.Soon, they appeared at the door of Cynthia’s villa.James rang the doorbell.Soon, the door opened, and several women rushed out the door toward the gate.The iron gate swung open.“James!”“James…”Quincy, Tiara, and Cynthia looked at James with joy.They thought James would not make it back for New Year’s and were worried about his safety.Surprisingly, James returned before New Year’s.“James, quick, come in.” Cynthia invited James into the villa.Jam

Callan began to explain the benefits of the core.“Generally speaking, animals that live longer will grow biles. These biles are excellent tonics for martial artists. After consuming them, a martial artist’s strength will increase significantly.“As for their cores, it’s much more beneficial than biles.”“I haven’t come across an animal’s core before, but I’ve seen them in records.”Meanwhile, a black vehicle drove slowly on the roads of the suburbs of Cansington.“Finn, is this reliable news?” A voice sounded in the car.A man in his forties leaned back in the passenger seat. He was wearing a black coat and had thick eyebrows and big eyes.“Finn, this isn’t child’s play. We might die if we fail.”The man leaning back in the passenger seat sat straight and replied seriously, “Whether it’s reliable or not, we have to try it. Over the years, the three of us have been constantly hunted down. It’s our chance to rise.”As he said that, he looked at the man driving the car and asked

Hearing this, Cynthia handed the core back to James. “You should have this back, James. It sounds precious. I can’t afford to break it.”James took it and put it away.“By the way, tomorrow is New Year’s. Where are you planning to celebrate, James?” Quincy changed to the subject and looked at James eagerly.“My house, of course.” Thea cast a glance at Quincy and took James’ hand. She raised her head proudly as if she was announcing that James was her man and that Quincy should not even think about it.James did not want to return to the Callahans because they were power-hungry.“I won’t return to the Callahans’ mansion,” said James.“Why?” Thea was immediately displeased.James said, “Regarding our official status, we’re divorced, so it’s unsuitable for me to return to the Callahans’ mansion. I plan to look for Newton and spend New Year’s with him.”James had plans to look for Newton.The main reason was that he wanted to learn some inside stories from thirty years ago.Newto

After walking out the villa gate, Thea held her sword in one hand and held on tightly to James’ hand in the other.She was afraid that James would run away.Behind them, Callan asked, “By the way, James, where do you plan for me to stay? You can’t seriously be bringing me to the Callahans’ villa, right?”James stopped.He had yet to consider where to arrange for Callan to stay because his identity was relatively unique.Callan was the Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect, and the Deputy Commander, Lucjan, was rebelling.Lucjan had secretly bribed most of the strong men from the Gu Sect.The next step was to take over the sect completely. Lucjan would not rest until Callan was dead. He would keep sending people after his life, or he might even personally take action.James thought for a while and said, “You can follow me for now.”“Are you not afraid that Lucjan’s people would come knocking at your door? He might even personally come after me.”James smiled and said, “You’ve gotten

Callan put his finger on her pulse.After a while, he retracted his hand and said, “Well, it’s true the Yin and Yang in your body are unbalanced. There’s too much Cold Energy within your body.”“Teacher, please accept my respect.”Cynthia immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Callan.Callan frankly accepted it.After Cynthia was done with the formalities, Callan smiled and said, “Alright, that’s enough. Since you’re my apprentice now, I should give you a gift as your teacher. However, I didn’t bring anything with me, so I’ll owe it to you for now. I’ll make up for it next time.”“Thank you!”Cynthia stood up.Quincy, who was standing aside, looked envious.She looked at James and said, “James, find me a teacher too! I want to learn martial arts as well.”James rolled his eyes and said, “You’re fine. Why do you suddenly want to learn martial arts? It’s tough, and you won’t be able to bear the hardships.”“Not necessarily.”Quincy looked at Thea and said, “Thea can

James was heading to the Cadens’ cemetery, and Thea wanted to accompany him. She looked at the time. It was only three in the afternoon, and there was still plenty of time to head home before dinner.Thea said, “Then, let’s head to the Cadens’ cemetery first. I’ve already called my parents, and they’ll wait for us to have dinner.”James nodded.The two left the area and took a taxi to the Cadens’ cemetery.Soon, they arrived at the cemetery, which used to be the Cadens’ villa.After the incident ten years ago, the place had become a cemetery. There were a few graves erected in the place.The grass had overgrown in the cemetery, and it was apparent that no one had tidied up the area for a while.James walked directly to his father’s grave.His father’s death came before the Cadens’ villa was burned down.Back then, his father had turned against his grandfather because of Rowena. Ultimately, Rowena reported his father to the authorities, and he had a heart attack out of anger.

James felt instant relief.The Blithe King looked at James and asked, “What’s going on, James? Why are the graves empty?”“It’s a long story. It’s quite complicated. I haven’t figured it out myself. Only my grandfather knows the full story. However, he’s always been elusive. I’ve only seen him a few times and didn’t have the chance to ask him about these things.”“Congratulations.” The Blithe King smiled.James returned a faint smile.Thea was also relieved. She held on to James’ hand and said, “Honey, your family is still alive. After everything is resolved, our family can be reunited. I haven’t met your dad yet, so I don’t know what kind of person he is. Is he easy to get along with? Also, your mom…”“I’ve never seen my mother before.” James had a gloomy expression.His mother was not part of his memories. He could not remember nor had he heard of her being mentioned by his family.“I’m sorry…” Thea promptly apologized.James smiled and said, “It’s alright. You don’t need to
