Chapter 1503
James said, “I need to trade the secret of the Four Ancient Paintings in exchange for the Lee family’s wealth.” “Leave everything to me. I will head over to the Lees’ residence with the Four Ancient Paintings and bargain with Xavi. You simply have to take over their fortunes.” After saying that, Thomas stood up and left. “Grandpa, wait!” James shouted. However, Thomas was gone without a trace. James sighed. “By the way…” Quincy asked, “Can we get Xiomara over to our side?” “Huh?” James looked at Quincy. Quincy said, “I desperately need a few assistants. Xiomara is competent. My workload will be much more manageable if she stays. Besides, she knows more about the situation in the Capital than me, so I believe that she’s more suitable than I am to deal with this.” Upon hearing this, James looked at Maxine and said, “Give Yasmine a call and explain the situation to her.” “Got it.” Maxine pulled her phone out and called Yasmine. “Yasmine, everything’s resolved on ou

Thea, who was by James’ side, suppressed a snicker. How could the Mount Thunder Sect possibly have such intelligence-gathering skills? The Celestial Sect was the one who discovered this. Since she was at a loss over how to deliver this information to James, she simply revealed it to the Mount Thunder Sect, which would then convey the message to James. “Mhm, I’ll contact Father immediately.” Delainey immediately called Jackson. She told him that James was prepared to make a move. She also informed him that James wanted the Mount Thunder Sect to contact the various families and sects of the ancient martial world in secret and gather in Malgudi. After hearing this, Jackson immediately made the necessary arrangements. “James, Father said that he will make the necessary arrangements at once. All ancient martial artists of Sol would be assembled in three days. However, we can’t leave the Celestial Sect out. Aren’t you acquainted with White Eagle of the Celestial Sect? I think you s

James was thankful. After persuading Bennett, he gave Callan a call. Ever since they parted ways in Durandal, James had not seen Callan again. He had no idea if he was still in the Capital at the moment. Soon, the call went through. “What’s wrong, James? Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?” “Where are you, Callan?” Callan said, “I’m at the Divine Sword Villa at the moment.” “What are you doing there?” “Trying to repair Excalibur, of course. Only the Divine Sword Villa is capable of repairing the sword in the whole wide world. The owner of the place only agreed to repair Excalibur after I defeated him in a duel. However, I’m afraid it would take quite some time for the repairs. It won’t be finished for a couple of years.” “You see, I plan to make a move against the Gu Sect…” James narrated the chain of events that unfolded to Callan. Upon hearing this, the other end of the phone fell silent. After some time, Callan said, “Don’t act recklessly fo
Chapter 1506
After Callan told him not to act recklessly, James did not contact anyone else. After he returned home, he simply rested. In the room at night… Thea held James in her embrace and asked softly, “Darling, when are we going to Malgudi?” James said, “We’ll wait for news from the Mount Thunder Sect. Once I discuss matters with Callan tomorrow, I’ll head over to the Mount Thunder Sect and meet up with Jackson Cabral.” Thea said with consternation, “I feel like something’s amiss.” James asked, “Why? What’s wrong?” The Celestial Sect was the one who found out about this. However, Thea was worried about the manner in which they investigated. This was information obtained by disciples of the Celestial Sect who successfully infiltrated the Gu Sect. This matter should be one of the Gu Sect’s top secrets, which only high-ranking members would know. However, the Celestial Sect managed to get its hands on the information without great difficulty. Their objective could be to lure James and

Even so, Callan was still one of the most powerful martial artists in the world. “Where’s Thomas?” Callan asked. James shook his head and said, “I can’t reach him. He’s an elusive figure. You don’t know where he could be at this moment. Every time he leaves, I can’t find him no matter how hard I try.” “Hahaha!” At that moment, a burst of laughter boomed from outside. Then, the door opened. A man wearing a white robe walked in. Upon seeing the man, James rolled his eyes and asked, “Grandpa, are you always just around me? How do you manage to appear every time I mention your name?” Thomas walked over to James and took a seat, saying smilingly, “If it wasn’t for me protecting you from the shadows, you’d have been long dead.” “Grandpa, you must have heard that I plan to head to Malgudi.” Upon hearing this, Thomas’ expression turned grim. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I have.” “What’s your opinion on the matter?” James questioned. “Go,” Thomas utt
Chapter 1508
Thea was puzzled. What was Thomas trying to say? Could it be that he already knew her identity? She was unsure. Meanwhile, James could not comprehend Thomas’ words at all. “Alright, I’ll be taking my leave.” Thomas stretched and stood up. Then, he simply walked out of the house. James really was speechless when it came to his grandfather. He no longer bothered to say goodbye to him. Callan stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave, James. You go along first. I’ll be there shortly. However, I won’t show up unless the situation turns dire.” “Mhm.” James nodded. With Thomas and Callan helping him out in the shadows, there was nothing he was afraid of. After they left, James have White Eagle a call and inquired him about the situation at the Celestial Sect. “The Sect Leader has agreed to this. However, she’s currently preoccupied with something at the moment. But, don’t worry, she promised she would be there to lend you a hand.” Hearing this, James was at ease. Hi

After all, why would Thea not go along with James to Malgudi? “Be careful, alright?” Maxine said. Thea turned to look at her. Then, she turned to leave without a single word. The moment James left, Thea too left the Capital. In just half a day, she arrived at the headquarters of the Celestial Sect. The Celestial Sect’s headquarters was situated in a pristine forest in the central region of Sol. There, an ancient building was erected. In the main hall, Thea was wearing a black overcoat and a hideous-looking mask. Many stood below her. They were all highly trained martial artists of the Celestial Sect who were at least fifth-rank grandmasters. “Greetings, Sect Leader!” Their voices reverberated throughout the hall. Thea waved her hand slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Keep a close watch on the Capital. Do not allow anything to happen while I’m away.” “Understood,” they spoke in unison. Thea raised her hand, and the Malevolent Sword on the wall instantly flew to
Chapter 1510
After arriving at the Mount Thunder Sect, James began discussing the action plan with the martial artists. However, they only roughly knew the location of the research laboratory and nothing about the specifics. So, even after a long discussion, no concrete plan was formulated. In the end, they decided to head over to Malgudi for now and find the location of the research laboratory before making a concrete plan. In essence, they would improvise and act accordingly. After discussion, they left the Mount Thunder Sect and boarded a private plane specially prepared by the military region, and headed to Malgudi. Meanwhile, the Solean authorities had notified the Malgudian Air Force beforehand. So, James’ private plane would be allowed safe passage into Malgudi and would not be intercepted. Malgudi was a nation bordering Sol. Although it was territorially half the size of Sol, it had a vastly smaller population. After half a day… The plane descended in the middle of a desert in Mal
