Meanwhile, at the Callahans’ grand villa in the suburbs… It was a grand villa specially constructed by the Callahans where the most important family members resided in. At the moment, Thea was sitting on an armchair in the courtyard of the villa. Holding a book on prenatal education in her hand, she read the book out loud. Boom! All of a sudden, the door was kicked open. Thea stood up immediately as a group of unknown men rushed into the compound. A man could be seen tumbling and staggering his way in. The man was David, whose face was bruised. After running into the courtyard, he hurriedly rushed toward Thea and hid behind her. “H-Help me, Thea!” Thea gestured for him to calm down. Then, she remained where she stood and stared at the unwelcome guests. Several men walked over to Thea with mischievous grins on their faces. “Who are you?” Thea’s face darkened, and she said, “This is the Callahans’ residence.” A middle-aged man in the lead said smilingly, “I know. You
However, the moment he took a step forward, he immediately staggered backward and collapsed heavily to the ground while vomiting a mouthful of blood. By then, Thea had already left with Sky. Meanwhile, Lex swiftly pulled his phone out and called James. Although the call went through, no one answered the phone. He called repeatedly, but despite numerous attempts, no one picked up the phone. So, he opted to send James a message, [Something bad happened, James. Thea has been abducted. Return to Cansington at once.] The important members of the Callahans gathered for a meeting. “Grandpa, who was the one who abducted Thea?” Tommy asked. Lex’s expression turned grim. Now that the Callahans had become an ancient martial family, he had been in close contact with the wider ancient martial world, so he knew a thing or two. He had heard of Thea’s overwhelming presence and influence over the ancient martial world. Since Thea willingly left with the man, this could only mean that the
“Who’s there?” Thomas’ appearance attracted the palace guards’ attention. Dozens of heavily-armed palace guards immediately surrounded the three of them. Swish! Swoosh! In an instant, the palace guards were lying in a pool of blood. As his movement was too agile, the palace guards could not react in time. By the time they realized what was going on, their necks were slashed, and they collapsed to the ground. Right then, the alarm was triggered. The palace gate opened, and countless soldiers rushed out. Holding a sword in his hand, Tobias slashed with his sword. In an instant, the soldiers were killed. At the same time, Sky was making out with a beautiful woman in a room in the palace’s courtyard. Knock! Knock! Knock! A knock came on the door. Cursing, Sky pushed the woman in his lap away and got dressed. Opening the door, he glared at the kneeling man outside the courtyard and reprimanded him, “What the hell is going on?” “Your Majesty, we have intruders!” “Who
Sky did not wish for this to happen. Though Tacriyrus was only a tiny and insignificant nation on the world stage, he planned to use Tacriyrus as a foothold to conquer territories and expand the nation into the largest on the planet, and perhaps the sole remaining one on earth. “Thomas, make another move, and Thea and her child will be dead!” Sky looked at Thomas with a smug grin on his face. Thomas was here almost immediately he abducted Thea. This could only mean that Thomas value Thea and the baby inside her womb greatly. Currently, he did not wish to fight against Thomas on his own territory for fear of destroying it. The population of Tacriyrus numbered only in the millions. If they perished, it would be nigh impossible for him to develop the nation. “You…!” Thomas was enraged. He was at a loss. “Hahaha!” At that moment, a burst of laughter boomed. Everyone turned their heads. “The Prince of Orchid Mountain?” Thomas, Sky, Tobias, and Lucjan’s faces paled. L
Upon seeing Thea safe and sound, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he walked over to her and asked, “Are you alright, Thea?” Thea shook her head slightly and said, “I’m alright.” “Was it the Prince of Orchid who saved you?” Thomas asked puzzledly. Thea nodded slightly and said, “Yes, he found me.” After she spoke, she glanced at Sky who was dismayed. She had witnessed the entire right from afar. Thea did not expect Langston to be so powerful that even Sky, a ninth-rank grandmaster, did not stand a chance against him. Sky looked at Thea with a darkened expression. Originally, he planned to abduct Thea to coerce James into doing his bidding. However, he did not expect Thomas and Langston to show up. He did not dare to stop Thea from leaving. “Leave.” After he said that, he turned to leave. Thomas said, “Since everything’s now resolved, we should get going.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded. Then, they turned to leave. However, before they could leave, a group of young men a
Thomas drew his sword immediately.Thea took a step forward just in time, stopping him, and said, “Sir Caden, I’ll go with them. They said they won’t give me a hard time. I believe that members of the Void Sect are not the kind of people who would break their word.”Thea knew how powerful the Void Sect was. Even Tobias and Lucjan were defeated by them with a single attack. Moreover, the ones who defeated the two were merely Kaj’s subordinates.Kaj would definitely be a difficult person to deal with. He was undoubtedly a ninth-rank grandmaster. If they fought, Thomas might be no match for him.“But, Thea…” Thomas’ expression showed hesitation. He said, “Your due date is approaching. During this time, you should get plenty of rest.”Kaj said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry about that. The Void Sect has midwives too. Nothing bad will happen to Thea at the Void Sect.”After saying that, he extended his hand in welcome.Thea walked over. They then turned around and left.“Tho
In a small mountain village…For the past few days, James had been meditating in seclusion.After eating the mysterious fruit that contained a tremendous amount of Empyrean Spiritual Energy, he was obsessively absorbing the Empyrean Spiritual Energy. His True Energy was growing stronger by the second.In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. James had been meditating in seclusion for five days.Five days later, Thomas appeared at the small mountain village.When he arrived, he saw James sitting in the courtyard in a lotus position, his entire body glowing with a brilliant light that alternated between black and white. He was about to walk over to James to inform him.Callan stopped him in time and said, “James is in closed-door meditation. If you need to talk to him, wait until his meditation is over.”Thomas glanced at Callan and said, “I need to speak with him about something very important.”Suddenly, he became aware of James’ extremely powerful aura. He exclaimed, sl
Callan looked at James hopefully and asked, “Did you break into the ninth rank?”“Mhm.” James nodded, a hint of a smile on his face.Thomas, on the other hand, said with a solemn expression, “Something happened.”“What is it?” James looked at Thomas, puzzled.Thomas answered, “Thea was taken by members of the Void Sect.”“What?” James was stunned, and a wave of rage swept through him. He stifled his rage and asked, “What happened? How did Thea get taken by the Void Sect?”Thomas gave a brief account of everything that had occurred.“Sky wanted to deal with the Void Sect, but he wasn’t sure he’d be successful. In order to make you deal with the Void Sect, he captured Thea. He intended to use Thea to threaten you. The Callahan family tried calling you, but no one picked up.”After hearing that, James took out his phone. There were indeed a lot of missed calls, as well as messages from Lex.Thomas continued, “Maxine came to see me and told me that Sky was going to attack Thea. By
