Chapter 1594
After formulating a plan, James and Callan decided to conduct a night operation. They would go their separate ways. James would draw the attention of the guards and Lucjan away, while Callan would sneak in and save the prisoners. In the dead silence of the night, almost all the lights in Divine Sword Villa were extinguished. On the road to the mountain… Fwoosh! A figure descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground. It was James. James’ appearance immediately attracted the attention of the disciples of the Gu Sect. “Who’s there?” Immediately, many brandished their swords and charged toward James. As they were all at least fourth-rank grandmasters, their movements were agile. In the blink of an eye, they appeared before James. James waved his hand, and powerful energy gathered in his palm. Then, the energy struck the disciples of the Gu Sect, who were immediately sent flying. They collapsed to the ground and writhed in pain. “Intruder alert!” Someone y

Even if he did hand the things over to James, there was no guarantee that he would be spared. Thomas who was disguised as Ezekiel looked at Lucjan and said, “You don’t have a choice. Haven’t you witnessed James’ strength? Not even Tobias who absorbed the power of so many martial artists stood a chance against him. Do you seriously think the three of us combined can defeat him?” The First Blood Emperor’s expression turned grim. He knew about James’ strength. He just could not figure out how he managed to restore his strength in such a short amount of time. “How did he manage to regain his strength…?” Rumble! A fierce battle raged on outside the cavern. “I’ll fight to the bitter end.” Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, Lucjan charged out. Upon seeing this, the First Blood Emperor tried following along. However, Ezekiel stopped him in time and said, “Do you have a death wish?” “What should we do, then?” The First Blood Emperor asked. After brief contemplation,

Lucjan charged out with the Blade of Justice in hand. However, Thomas, disguised as Ezekiel, and the First Blood Emperor opted to flee. Seeing that the two were nowhere to be seen, Lucjan too chose to make his escape. After all, he stood no chance against James alone. By the exit of the mountain at Divine Sword Villa… Ezekiel and the First Blood Emperor walked out. “Are we abandoning Lucjan just like that?” The First Blood Emperor turned and looked at the cavern behind them. Ezekiel said, “What other choice do we have? I told him that our strengths combined were no match for James’. Turning back will only get us killed.” “What about Dragonslayer?” Ezekiel said, “Have no fear. Dragonslayer will be created soon. We can simply return and snatch it away from Divine Sword Villa.” Upon hearing this, the First Blood Emperor was at ease. Fwoosh! At that moment, a sound could be heard from behind. It was Lucjan. Upon catching up with the both of them, Lucjan chided them, “

James descended from the sky and stomped on Lucjan’s chest. Lucjan raised his palm to strike James, who reacted in time and met his attack. James was sent flying to the sky by the shock wave, while Lucjan was pummelled further into the ground. Though he was injured, he had yet to lose his combat prowess. Seizing the window of opportunity that presented itself, he hurriedly made his escape. Upon seeing this, James made his way over to him in an instant and grabbed his arm, pulling it with great force in the process. Crack! The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Lucjan’s arm was torn off by James. “Argh!!!” A heart-wrenching scream reverberated throughout the region. Lucjan’s expression was contorted in pain. Regardless, he ignored the pain and hurriedly made his escape. Fwoosh! In the blink of an eye, James appeared before him and blocked his escape. Blood trickled down Lucjan’s severed limb as he glared at James and roared, “I’ll tear you to pieces!” At that

“Sigh…” Callan sighed deeply. He was slightly crestfallen upon hearing news of Lucjan’s demise. Callan was once the Sect Leader of the Gu Sect, and he swore to avenge his fallen comrades during the battle against the Gu Sect. Even now, deep down, he still held a grudge. Sometimes, he thought about continuing his revenge. However, his resolve had wavered. He thought of Lucjan as a confidant. Although he betrayed him in the end, he understood his reason for doing so. “What’s wrong?” Upon seeing Callan’s melancholic expression, James asked. “It’s nothing.” Callan shook his head slightly and said, “By the way, what do you plan to do next?” James said, “Now that I have regained control of Crucifier, I should return at once to save Thea. Maxine’s injuries are grave too. They need my help.” “Mhm.” Callan nodded and said, “In that case, you should return at once. I will remain at Divine Sword Villa for a few more days. After all, the First Blood Emperor and Ezekiel managed to s

Once its true abilities were realized, anyone, no matter how grave their injuries were, could be brought back to life. “I’ll return in a few days. I have to return home and have a look at Thea.” James was concerned about Thea. So, after Maxine regained consciousness, he left. Soon, he was home. Upon arriving home, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in. However, Thea was not in the living room. He went upstairs and opened the door to his room. There, Thea was sitting in a lotus position on the bed. At the moment, she exuded a terrifying aura, and her pupils were completely red. Upon seeing the state she was in, even James could not help but feel a shiver running down his spine. “Thea…” He called out. Only then did Thea recollect herself. Her terrifying aura subsided, and her eyes returned to normal. Standing up, she looked at James and flashed him a bright smile. “You’re back, Darling. Did everything go well?” “Yeah, things went fairly smoothly. What were you

Now that Lucjan was dead, this was the perfect opportunity to make a move against the Gu Sect. “I’ll discuss the specifics with Maxine before formulating a plan,” James looked at Thea and said. Although Thea might be displeased upon hearing him bringing up Maxine, Maxine was now in control of the Cadens and possessed great authority in the Capital and even in Orient Commerce. James knew nothing about the situation in the Capital. So, he had to be fully prepared for everything. “Get going, then.” Thea said smilingly, “You know, Maxine’s a pretty nice girl. You should better acquaint yourself with her.” James looked at Thea. At that moment, he could not understand what she was trying to say. Thea stood up and adjusted James’ shirt before saying with a serious look on her face, “With my condition, I won’t live for long. After I’m gone, you’ll need someone by your side…” Then, she fell silent. She knew that James would understand what she was hinting at. James did not say a

Maxine spoke feebly, “I-I’m alright… I have to go to headquarters and organize a meeting to announce the Cadens’ pullout from Orient Commerce, as well as the participation of James’ New Era Commerce.” “In the state you’re in?” Bennett furrowed his eyebrows. “J-Just send a few people along…” “I think I should take you there personally,” Bennett said. How would he be at ease letting Maxine go by herself with the condition she was in? Before Maxine headed to headquarters, James had already met up with Quincy. Quincy was dressed in red business attire and a pair of red high heels. Even her flowy hair was dyed red. She seemed to like the color. “James,” she greeted him sweetly as she got in the car. “To the Sullivans,” James ordered the driver. Then, he looked at Quincy and asked, “What’s the situation with New Era Commerce?” “Not bad,” Quincy said. “Ever since we took over the Lees’ businesses, New Era has grown by leaps and bounds. Over the period of time when you were
