Chapter 1714
Strictly speaking, that was what had transpired. However, James was also somewhat responsible for the fiasco during the divorce. After all, Thea would not have divorced him if he had revealed his identity earlier. “Thea, I’m the one at fault here. You have nothing to do with this. Back then, I chose to conceal my identity because I was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Divorcing you was the only way to guarantee your safety. I didn’t want my enemies to abduct you. “After we divorced, I was the one who came back for you. All this while, you have been a kind-hearted woman. It was I who let you down.” James felt guilty. “But who should I trust?” At that moment, Thea was at a loss. She did not know who she should believe in. Upon being reminded of the blood Lord Omniscient gave her, she suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, yeah!” “What’s wrong?” James hurriedly asked. Thea said, “After you left, someone who came searching for me told me that he could help me restore my memory. He even

As he left, Thea stood up and followed him to the door. Her expression turned grim while she watched his retreating figure. ‘Is he speaking the truth? Can I believe in his words?’ Thea was at a loss. She rubbed her temples. ‘Argh… You should have just died, Thea! Why did you have to lose your memory?’ Thea was dismayed. If possible, she would rather die than forget her loved one. Still, a smile crept up on her face as she murmured, “But James is actually a pretty nice guy.” At the same time, James was on his way to the military region. At the Blithe King’s office… The Blithe King spun the globe in his hand and marked a tiny red dot at a specific spot, saying, “This is the approximate location. A more detailed map is currently being produced. Please wait here for a moment.” “Mhm.” James nodded. With current technological levels, finding the location of Dragon Abyss was a piece of cake. After approximately twenty minutes, a brand-new, detailed map was produced. Hol

James was given a map by the Blood Race. He even requested the Blithe King to produce a brand-new detailed map. However, he was unsure if there truly was a dragon residing there. He would have to head there and find out for himself. “By the way…” He looked at Thomas and asked, “Grandpa, did you bring the dragon’s blood I entrusted to you?” “Mhm.” Thomas nodded and handed the dragon’s blood to him, saying, “I have it with me.” James took it and said, “I’ll bring it back for research and see if I can save Thea’s life.” Wearing a grim expression, Thomas said, “If I guess correctly, the map should be real. What do you plan to do next?” James replied, “I plan to go have a look.” Thomas thought about it and said, “How about this? You’ll go scout the area, whereas I will gather the Solean martial artists to slay the dragon.” “Sure.” James knew how powerful a dragon was. The martial artists from a millennium ago failed. Back then, there were multiple ninth-rank martial artists. N

James remained at home for the whole day. The next morning… As he was sleeping soundly, he realized that someone was on his balcony. Sensing the presence of the unwelcome guest, he got up and walked toward the balcony. Looking at Sky, he handed him a cigarette, saying, “You’re early.” Sky took the cigarette and asked, “When are we leaving?” James said with a smile, “Looks like you’re in quite a hurry.” “How can I afford not to?” Sky was anxious. After being deceived by the Blood Race, he desperately wanted to know the authenticity of the map given to him by the Blood Race. If it was revealed to be a fake, he would think of a way to steal the real map by infiltrating the Blood Race’s headquarters. “Please wait outside. I’ll be back soon after giving Thea a heads up.” After he said that, he returned to the room. Meanwhile, Sky leaped from the third floor and appeared outside the Callahans’ villa. As it was only eight in the morning, Thea was still asleep. James appr

After waiting for a brief moment, James was done saying goodbye to Thea. They greeted each other, then immediately headed over to the military region. At the military region, the Blithe King personally received James and Sky. “James, the helicopter’s ready and completely refueled. There’s even extra fuel on the helicopter in case things go awry. Besides, I even assigned you a pilot.” James answered, “Thank you very much.” “There’s no need to be so formal between us.” The Blithe King said smilingly, “Alright now, I shouldn’t keep you waiting any longer. If you depart now, you should be able to reach the place in the evening. By the way, since I wasn’t sure how long your trip would be, I prepared a week’s worth of rations for both of you.” The Blithe King had made the necessary arrangements. He even prepared rations for them. James and Sky did not linger for long and immediately got on the helicopter. The helicopter slowly lifted off and left Cansington, heading in the dire

The two simply grabbed a handful of rations and hopped on the raft. Then, Sky began using True Energy to propel the raft forward, all the while carefully steering it in the right direction. They managed to traverse 100 kilometers in an hour. After an hour, the sky was already dark. A gale blew as waves tens of meters in height crashed against the shoreline. Sky stopped the raft and tied it in place. Then, he turned to look at the island before him, saying, “This should be the place. Based on the map, there’s an abyss here in which the dragon resides. However, this is information from a millennium ago. Things might have changed.” James scanned his surroundings and said, “This island is huge. Let’s split up and scout around. I will go this way. Return here by daybreak no matter what we find.” “I’ll be taking my leave, then.” Sky did not linger for long and turned to leave. James did not waste any time either. The two began searching from two different directions. James

“What do you mean, ‘so what’?” Sky suddenly stood up and looked at James, uttering word by word, “I’m going to become the most powerful individual in the world, James! You don’t comprehend the meaning of these words because you’ve never climbed high enough! “I want the world to obey my every command. You will never understand how it feels like to stand at the very top. You may be the Dragon King, one of the highest authority figures in Sol, but you still have to answer to your superiors. You can never do as you please.” James smiled faintly. He could not care less about becoming the most powerful man in the world and only wished to spend the remainder of his life with the woman he loved. He was only here to slay the dragon because of misfortunes that occurred along the way. “Whatever!” Sky sat down and said, “Why am I wasting my breath on you? You won’t understand how power and authority work anyway.” After thinking for a brief moment, James said, “I think what matters for me

Sky pinched his nose and muttered, “How long has it been since a human was last here?” James said, “The last dragon-slaying expedition was more than 1300 years ago. Since this is the middle of the ocean, I’d reckon there hasn’t been any human presence around these parts for a millennium. Let’s scout around for now. There should be signs of the dragon’s activities if it’s still alive.” Sky scanned his surroundings. There were no signs of any life in this desolate place. “This way.” James pointed at a path before them and headed in its direction. Soon, they found the skeletal remains of some unknown creatures on the ground. Some remains were intact, while the others were completely scattered. “Huh?” James momentarily froze before asking, “Why would there be so many skeletal remains in these desolate parts of the island?” Sky crouched down and scrutinized the remains, saying, “These skeletal remains do not belong to a human being. They look like they belong to some sort of m
