James could not refine the Spirit Turtle’s core right now.He did not plan to refine it right now, anyway. He planned to make plans after completely recovering from his injuries and restoring his True Energy.James waited patiently at Cynthia’s villa.He firmly believed the person who kidnapped Quincy and the others would call again.While waiting, he did not remain idle.Using the privileges in his hand, he called the surveillance authorities of the villa district, but no one was captured on camera.Only the surveillance outside the villa captured a black vehicle.James immediately called the Blithe King and asked him to track the car's whereabouts with all his connections.In a blink of an eye, it was already noon.The Blithe King called back.“James, I’ve checked the vehicle information. After leaving Cynthia’s place, it headed to another villa. It stayed about another half an hour before leaving. Then, it left Cansington. I’m unable to pinpoint its current location.”“Wh

James could vaguely remember.When he was at the Cadens’ mansion in the Capital, his grandfather had mentioned Xyla.He said something about how they should not have threatened him with Xyla.As for what exactly happened, James did not know.Newton fell into silence.After a while, he replied, “Let’s wait until he personally tells you the whole story. It’s not my place to tell you.”James took a deep breath.Judging from Newton’s tone, he seemed to know about what happened thirty years ago.However, since he was unwilling to talk about it, James did not force it.“Do you know who kidnapped Serena?” asked James.Newton shook his head and said, “I don’t. I slept very soundly last night, and when I woke up, it was almost noon. I didn’t see Serena around and thought she had gone out, so I didn’t think anything of it. If you hadn’t come to inform me, I wouldn’t have known that she was kidnapped.”James did not inquire further since Newton did not know much about it.Now, he just

Thea arrived in the suburbs of Terentville and was not too far away from the Mount Thunder Sect. Looking at the Blithe soldiers behind her, she ordered, “Wait for me here.” “Understood.” They nodded. Holding the Malevolent Sword in hand, Thea lifted her head to have a glimpse of the snow mountain in the distance.Two days ago, a fierce battle had broken out here, and the entire region came under the relentless bombardment of combat aircraft. However, heavy snow had covered almost all traces of the battle that took place. Thea began walking in the direction of the snow mountain in the distance. Though she initially wanted to climb the mountain, she decided against it after contemplation. She would not be able to traverse tens of kilometers even if she took a whole day. Besides, the situation in Cansington was dire. She was worried that the enemy would call James, who would be provoked into action to save Quincy and the others. Not only that, James was in a weak condition. If

The Demonic Sword also went by the name of Demonic Sword Art, which was a sword technique. The sword technique was created by the Malevolent King in a state of insanity while he was trapped in the Snow Cavern for almost a century. Thea had no idea how powerful this sword technique would be. She only knew that the Malevolent King left a message, and that was to cultivate the Demonic Sword with the utmost caution. Though Thea knew that cultivating the Demonic Sword was a highly dangerous activity that could cause her to experience Energy Deviation, she could not suppress her desire. Like the impoverished who yearned for wealth and power, the desire came from the deepest parts of her soul. She lingered outside the Mount Thunder Sect for a while before finally spotting an opportunity to sneak into the underground passageway of the Mount Thunder Sect. As she entered the passageway, her heartbeat accelerated as she grew more and more excited.When she left the place last time, she h

“Boss, Mount Morinbourg is just right ahead. This is a pristine forest. After getting what we want, we’ll sneak into Mount Morinbourg. Even if James possesses great reconnaissance skills, he can never find us.” “Mhm.” Finn Leo, the leader of the vagrants, nodded and ordered, “Felix, take them away and find a secluded spot to hide. I’ll ask James to come for the negotiation. We’ll retreat immediately once we get the stuff we want. Once I’m safe, I’ll inform the both of you.” “Understood, Boss.” James waited for Jackson to arrive at Newton’s house. At the gates of the villa… James opened the gate for Jackson. “Mr. Cabral, you’re finally here. Finally, I can be at ease.” Jackson said, “After receiving the news from Thea, I made my way here with haste. I called you the moment I got off the plane.”“By the way, where’s Thea?” Seeing that Thea was not around, James was puzzled. Jackson said, “She told me that she had something else to deal with and asked me to come to Cans

“James, I don’t think we should hand over the core. We should prepare a counterfeit in advance. After all, the enemy has never seen what a real Spirit Turtle’s core looks like,” Callan reminded. After a brief contemplation, James said, “But, what if they see through our tricks and start acting out?”“They won’t,” Callan said, “They’re determined to obtain the core. Until they actually get their hands on it, they won’t act recklessly.” Jackson chimed in, “Callan’s right. The Spirit Turtle’s core is too valuable. You can’t just hand it over to them. Don’t worry. We can definitely save the captives if the enemy is weak. After all, if they’re powerful martial artists, they would’ve come right for us instead of resorting to underhanded tactics like this.”Newton nodded in agreement. “Mr. Cabral is right.”After formulating a plan, they headed toward Mount Morinbourg. Mount Morinbourg was a day’s distance away if they traveled by car. Therefore, James decided against traveling by

“Where are they?” Jackson interrogated Finn. “I-In the mountains…”Finn was scared of death. He did not dare act recklessly. “Take me there.” “Y-Yes…” Finn stood up and brought Jackson into Mount Morinbourg.Meanwhile, the helicopter returned and landed on an empty plot of land. James got off the helicopter. Wearing an anxious expression on his face, he said, “I wonder if Mr. Cabral can save them.” Callan reassured him, “Don’t worry, Jackson’s the Sect Leader of the Mount Thunder Sect, after all. Dealing with a bunch of nobodies should be a piece of cake to him.” James nodded slightly and waited patiently. After about an hour, a few people approached. Quincy, Cynthia, Tiara, Scarlett, and Serena were there. The three vagrants were following close behind. Battered and beaten, they had bruises all over them. As Jackson was pointing his sword at them, they did not act recklessly. “James…”“James!”Upon seeing James, the women burst into tears.“James… Grandpa…” Se

Thea’s heart raced. “What’s wrong?” Seeing the expression on Thea’s face, James asked puzzledly. “Huh?” Thea hurriedly said, “I-It’s nothing. Let’s head downstairs to eat.”Then, she grabbed James by the arm and headed downstairs. James did not suspect anything. Downstairs, everyone from the Callahans gathered, including Lex, Howard, and John’s families.There were also many tables. The moment James descended the stairs, he immediately became the star of the show.Lex stood up and yelled, “Quiet down, everyone. I have a few words to say.” The boisterous living room fell silent. Looking at James, Lex said, “James and Thea have played a significant role in making the Callahans what we are today…”Lex tried to curry favor with James and Thea.Hearing this, James gave a slight smile.The New Year’s Eve dinner was lively. However, James ate only a little before heading upstairs. He wanted to go somewhere else quieter. Hence, he went to Thea’s room on the second floor
