Lex looked at the people in the room and said, “Alright, everyone should leave now. Thea needs rest.”The Callahans left one after another.Soon, only James and Thea were left in the ward.Although Thea was a martial artist, she was still exhausted and soon fell asleep in her bed.James could not fall asleep and sat aside, watching the child absentmindedly.Not long after, the baby began to cry.James immediately panicked after hearing the baby cry.“Thea, hurry. Our baby is crying.” He woke Thea up.Thea turned over and sat up. She picked up the baby from the crib and began comforting her.However, the baby did not stop crying.Thea was at a loss and called for the nurse.Soon, a nurse came inside the ward and told them the baby was hungry.Then, she taught Thea how to breastfeed the baby.After several mishaps, the baby was finally full and fell asleep.At that point, Thea no longer felt sleepy.She leaned back in bed and asked, “Honey, what should we name our daughter
James was uncertain if the boar had mutated after accidentally eating a fruit containing Empyrean Spiritual Energy. All he could do was wait for a statement from the authorities.James accompanied Thea in the hospital.A few days later, Thea was discharged.Throughout this time, James had kept up with the news of the beast from Mount Jreljord that attacked the villagers. The incident shook the country.The country dispatched elite troops to Mount Jreljord.Utilizing satellite mapping, they found the wild boar.However, the wild boar was extremely tenacious and could not be killed even with firearms.The troops that had been dispatched suffered heavy casualties.This was confidential information that ordinary people would not usually have access to. Fortunately, James held a high status in Sol, so it was easy for him to obtain further details.Since the military was unable to kill it, they turned to the ancient martial artists.There were ancient martial artists working for
James complimented him. Immediately afterward, his voice turned serious, “You know about the recent news about a wild boar attacking a village, followed by a big snake getting into a moat a few days after, right?”Henry nodded. “Of course. How could such a gigantic wild boar and snake exist? Considering they had True Energy, I’m quite sure they aren’t regular animals. It’s terrifying.”James said, “Actually, these are animals that have mutated.”“Mutated?” Henry was taken aback.James explained about Empyrean Spiritual Energy leaking from the Sealed Realm.“Are you serious?”Henry said grimly, “If this is true, then is chaos about to befall our Earth?”James nodded and said, “Yes. It’s absolutely true. I came to you to discuss this matter. There are ten more years before the seal is completely open. Animals are already mutating into horrific creatures right now. The kinds of beasts that will appear in ten years are practically unimaginable. I need to take control of Sol, build p
Josiah was originally the Capital’s governor.In the election a few years ago, all the candidates belonging to the capital’s major forces were eliminated, giving him a chance to rise to power and become King.Judging from his achievements in the past few years, he was indeed a decent king for the country and its people. Despite being the King of Sol, he still showed respect to Zacarius and James.He knew Sol would not be where it was today if it was not for both of them.Zacarius approached the two and sat next to them. He looked at James, saying with a smile, “Dragon King, what a rare visitor. It’s been so long since you last visited Peace Mansion. What brings you here? Is something the matter?”“I’d like to be the king.”“...”Josiah was stunned.He gave Zacarius a baffled look.Zacarius narrowed his eyes.He did not believe James.From his perspective, James simply coveted the position of king.“James, that’s not going to happen. I’ve already told you. If you want to bec
He controlled Yada Sect, which had ancient martial artists as its members.Thus, he also knew about the incidents involving the beasts.James' explanation about the animal mutation had slightly convinced him.However, it was still inappropriate to abdicate the new King.Zacarius continued. “There are still ten more years, which should be enough time to prepare. The international situation is quite a mess right now. Many new countries have emerged, and the Kingdom of Merania has been watching Sol closely. If the current king steps down, Merania will seize the opportunity and cause discord.“I hope you understand.”Hearing this, James fell into deep thought. Dragonville had a vast amount of land, most of which was deep forests. It would be easy to develop these lands and build a new moat and fortress.“Focus on conquest,”Zacarius spoke again. He looked at James and said, “Right now, every country is trying to seize the resources and lands of the countries at our borders. You
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on James.In the past few years, James had disappeared without a trace. All of a sudden, he appeared once more, telling them to gather to discuss an important matter.Blake looked at James and asked, “What’s going on, James? Is this matter truly that important? ”“Mhm, it’s of the utmost importance.”James’ expression became solemn as he looked at the people in the villa, saying, “I’m going to declare Dragonville as an independent nation in the Southern Plains. I’ll need everyone’s help.”“What?” The people present were baffled by his announcement.Independence?James wanted to make Dragonville a nation of its own?Everyone looked at James puzzledly.If he really wanted to rule the nation, he would have become the king four years ago. He would not have waited until this moment. So, what exactly was the purpose of Dragonville’s independence right now?The people in the villa were all James’ former confidants and were absolutely trustworthy.James
In just three years, she had climbed to the position of director.James looked at the time. It was almost noon.“I’ve always remembered that I still owe you a meal. Do you have time today?” James smiled.He was embarrassed to seek out Quincy.Whenever a problem arose, he always sought her help. This time, it was a critical issue that impacted humankind's survival.Thus, he had to shamelessly come to see her.Quincy looked at the time and hesitated briefly. Then, she said, “I originally had a meeting, but since you’ve come all the way to Cansington to treat me to a meal, it’s impolite of me to refuse.”With that said, Quincy stood up and gestured to James. “Let’s go.”James stood up and left the office with Quincy.Inside a private room in a high-end western restaurant in Cansington, Quincy brought her glass of red wine to her lips and took a sip. “Go ahead. Tell me what’s going on.”“It’s nothing. I just came here to catch up with you.”“Do you think I can’t see through yo
Quincy was a beautiful and charismatic woman, who was also extremely capable to boot.Countless suitors approached her in the past three years.However, she refused them all.She already had a man in her heart, and it was impossible to replace him.Deep down, she knew she and James had virtually no chance of being together in this lifetime.The two casually chatted for a while.James made the decision quite hastily and still had many more things to settle. Thus, after hurriedly finishing lunch, he bid farewell to Quincy.Quincy returned to her company and began filing her resignation. After that, she prepared to head over to the Capital to regain control of New Era Commerce.Meanwhile, James went to see the Blithe King to explain his new plan.“Blithe King, I need someone to take charge of the Southern Plains right now. This person must have a great deal of prestige. As a commander, you are a very suitable candidate. I’ve also discussed this matter with the old and new King. B
