A year ago, Maxine had convinced Thea to leave.Maxine thought she would have a chance with James with Thea out of the picture.However, she waited for a year, and heard no news of James.After hearing that Thea had returned to Cansington, she anxiously rushed back.When she reached Cansington, she learned that James was also in the city.So, she immediately rushed to see him.“Long time no see, James.”Maxine walked over with a charming smile.“Yeah. It’s already been a year.” James felt slightly nostalgic.Although it had only been a year, he had experienced countless things and traveled to many places, which made him feel like a long time had passed since he last saw Maxine.“Shouldn’t you be at Cadens' mansion in the Capital? What’re you doing in Cansington?”“What’s wrong? Can’t I come to see you? Despite everything that’s happened, both of us still came from similar circumstances. Although, you don't seem quite that happy to see me now,” Maxine pretended to pout and
James looked at Thea.Thea’s current appearance was full of innocence.She was pouting her lips which made her look even cuter.“I don’t want to get to know you.” Thea sneered. She looked at James and asked, “Do you really know me?”“Yeah.”“Then, tell me, what kind of relationship do we have?”Thea was confused and curious about why she had no memories of the past 11 years.She wanted to know what was going on, but no one explained anything to her.“You’re my wife,” James said earnestly.“You’d better not think about taking advantage of my situation. How is it possible that I married someone like you? I’d rather marry anyone other than you.”Thea looked at James in disbelief.She did not recognize the person in front of her, nor did she know his identity. However, she was sure she would not marry someone as sloppy as James.His long hair disgusted her.Her type was tall, well-kept, and charming.“James Caden?”Thea suddenly exclaimed as if she recalled something. “Are
James returned to Common Clinic.As he entered the clinic, he heard someone speaking on the phone.“Love you! Mwah! Alright. I have to go. I heard someone coming back, it must be James. I’m hanging up now. Bye!”Henry hung up the phone as James walked into the clinic.He immediately stood up and asked, “How did it go, James? Did you see Thea?”“Yeah, but I got kicked out.”James sat down despondently.“Don’t worry, have some patience. If you don’t mind me saying, James. I think your current appearance isn’t helping you win her back at all.”“Is that so?”Henry said, “Of course. Think about it, Thea has no memories of the past few years and only can remember events from when she was eighteen. That meant her current mentality is of an eighteen-year-old. What do you think girls around that age would like? They love clean and charming men. Look at yourself. You’re a mess.”“You’re right.”James suddenly came to a realization.He had not cut his year in the past year.The follo
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Dragon King and Emperor?” Thea frowned at the strange and unfamiliar terms.She only had memories of her school days. Thus, she had no idea what the Dragon King, Black Dragon, or Emperor was.However, she knew about the King.She looked at James and burst out laughing, “Haha. The King? This guy here?”It was not that she did not want to believe it, but it seemed impossible.What kind of significance did the King have?The King was the most influential person and highest officer of Sol.How was it possible for the person in front of her to become King?She would not believe it, even if someone threatened her to.“I’m hungry. I want to eat KFC. I’m going to change and head out.”Thea walked away and headed upstairs.The Callahans sat awkwardly in the living room.Lex looked at James. He feared getting on James’ bad side, so he spoke cautiously, “Don’t worry, James. Thea’s memory loss is only temporary. I believe she’ll remember you very
James had kept the letter with him.He took it out and handed it to Thea.Thea carefully looked through the letter.It did look like it was written with her handwriting. However, James’ story was too bizarre, and she found it hard to believe.To her, it was simply a touching and beautiful story, nothing more.“That’s enough. I’m heading back home.”After speaking, she stood up and left.James looked helpless.Despite saying so much, Thea was not convinced. She seemed to have completely forgotten about him.He watched Thea’s silhouette as she left.James knew he could not act recklessly. He had to find out what had happened to Thea in the past year and what had caused her to lose her memories.He would have to find the Omniscient Deity to figure out what happened.James did not linger any longer and left the shop. He pulled out his phone and called Henry. “Arrange a private plane for me. I need to leave Cansington for a bit.”“Alright.”Henry did not question anything an
The Omniscient Deity thought for a while and said, “I don’t have an answer to that question. Master Delphinia was the one who converted her energy. She’s on Mount Wunderton right now. I can take you there so you can ask her personally.”The Omniscient Deity turned around and set off. He led James away from the mountain to an independent manor. Inside the manor, they met an old nun, Master Delphinia.Master Delphinia clasped her hands together and greeted, “Lord Omniscient.”She turned to James and asked, “And you’re James, right?”“Yeah.”James went straight to the point. “Are you the one who converted Thea’s cultivation and caused her to lose memory?”Master Delphinia replied, “It was her own decision.”James asked, “Is there a way to restore her memories?”After briefly thinking about it, Master Delphinia said, “There is a way, but…”“Quickly tell me if there’s a way.”Master Delphinia said, “She lost her memory because her cultivation was dispersed. Outsiders like us a
The Omniscient Deity was dissatisfied with being ordered around by James. He was in the intel business, not running errands for others.“I’m not your subordinate, James. Who are you to order me around?”He looked at James with furrowed brows.James glanced at him and said, “This should be a trivial matter for you, right?”“It is indeed very trivial. Fine, I’ll only help you this once.”The Omniscient Deity pointed to a courtyard and continued speaking, “You can stay over there for the time being.”“Alright.” James gently nodded.Then, he turned around and walked off.After James left, the Omniscient Deity wore a smirk as he murmured, “This kid sure is arrogant.”James approached the courtyard the Omniscient Deity had pointed out to him and entered the house situated in there.The house had a very simple layout with only a bed and chair.James sat in a lotus position on the bed and took out a Novenary Golden Pill.He had obtained seven Novenary Golden Pills from King Quavo
After he swallowed the pill, the energy within the Novenary Golden Pill permeated his entire body. James quickly mobilized his True Energy to absorb and refine the energy.His True Energy gradually increased.The energy surrounding him also constantly grew more potent.While absorbing the Novenary Golden Pill’s energy, James was also thinking about how to enter the ninth rank.The ninth rank had yet to be recorded in history.Throughout the ages, no one knew how to enter the ninth rank. Thus, one would have to constantly ponder to try and comprehend it.James was already powerful. It only took three days for him to absorb the Novenary Golden Pill’s energy, and his True Energy improved again.However, it was not enough.Despite his best efforts, he was unable to break through the barrier behind the Ninth Stair.James failed to enter the ninth rank.“Is my True Energy not strong enough?” James frowned.He contemplated for a while.Afterward, he took out another Novenary Golde
