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

The Callahans’ attitude was now completely different from when James was married into the family.Now, they treated him like a god.Many of the Callahans came forward to greet him.James nodded in acknowledgment but did not say much.Thea took him by the arm and entered the villa.Inside the living room, several large tables had been set up.Lex stomped his cane and ordered, “Hurry and take out the wine I’ve stored for thirty years. Today, everyone shall get drunk!”“I’m a little tired and won’t join dinner.”James looked at Lex and headed to the room after speaking.The Callahans were surprised.It was only when James headed upstairs that everyone regained their senses.Gladys walked over and pulled Thea, asking, “What’s going on, Thea? James doesn’t seem very happy.”“Maybe he’s tired. He's had a lot of things to settle these days and hasn’t slept well for a few days. Go ahead and eat. I’ll go and check on him.”Thea headed upstairs after James.The Callahans exchanged

Quincy quickly rolled out of bed and headed to turn on the lights.The moment the lights turned on, her acupoints wear sealed, and she could not move.Despite the lights being switched on, she could not see anyone.“Finn, this woman isn’t bad.“She’s James’ first girlfriend and seems to be one of James’ lovers. The two have a pretty good relationship.”Quincy could not see anyone but heard a voice inside the room.“Who are you, and what do you want?” she asked coldly.However, no one answered her.Her vision went black, and she was put into a sack.The Three Wanderers had captured Quincy and were continuing on with their plan.They kidnapped Quincy, Cynthia, Tiara, and Scarlett, who just came back after getting off work.The three were fourth-ranked grandmasters, so they could easily kidnap the ladies.Unfortunately, Callan’s True Energy had dissipated, and he was just an ordinary old man. Thus, he could not sense the intruders nor did he know that his newly accepted appren

While James was worrying about his physical condition, his phone suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.“Who’s calling so early in the morning?” he murmured.Then, he walked over to the bed and picked up his phone from the side table.The caller was Callan.He picked up the phone and asked, “What’s wrong?”“There’s a problem.” From the other end of the call, a worried voice sounded.James immediately got worried and asked, “What happened?”“They’re gone.”“Who’s missing?”“They’re all gone. Come over.”James was anxious. He hung up the phone, turned around, and was about to leave.“What’s the matter, Honey?” Thea was startled by the noise and woke up. She sat up on the bed, using the blanket to cover her body and only revealing her head.Her hair was messy, and there were a few hickeys on her neck.She had not completely woken up and was still in a daze.“Callan called saying something happened. The girls have disappeared. He asked me to head over. I’m not sure what ha

While speaking, they walked out of the villa.The two headed to the garage and drove directly to Cynthia’s place.Soon, they appeared outside Cynthia’s villa.Callan was sitting on the sofa in the living room.James walked into the house and asked, “What happened?”Callan said solemnly, “When I got up in the morning, I wanted to call them to practice. However, I knocked on everyone’s doors for a long time, but no one answered. I realized something was wrong and broke into the rooms, but they were all empty.”“They’re all gone?” James was taken aback.Callan nodded and said, “Mhm. Cynthia, Quincy, Tiara, and Scarlett, who came back at night, were all gone. I checked the rooms and found traces of intruders last night.”“Let’s head upstairs and have a look.”James turned around and headed up the stairs.Callan and Thea followed behind him.James went to Quincy’s room first.The balcony door was open, and the lights inside were on. There was also a book on the table.Callan sa
Chapter 1288
Thea proposed to travel to the Mount Thunder Sect to find Jackson.James was worried because Thea’s current situation was quite special.She had the Spirit Turtle’s blood in her body and could not have any mood swings. Plus, she could not use her True Energy and even had the Malevolent Sword with her.However, the Mount Thunder Sect had always stayed hidden from the world. None of the members from the sect used phones. Even if they had phones, there was no signal where the Mount Thunder Sect was located.James also could not call Jackson to ask him to rush over to help.Thea smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I know my limits. You can’t leave now, and I’m the only one available to run the errand for you.”James thought for a while and said, “Alright. I’ll contact the Blithe King to prepare a military plane to escort you to the Mount Thunder Sect.”“This matter can’t be delayed, so I’ll head out immediately.”Thea did not say much. She picked up the Malevolent Sword
