Blake was led to the base and boarded the helicopter with the Elite Eight.Gloom stood aside and watched the helicopter slowly take off. Then, he took out his phone and called James, “Blake has been rescued. They have safely left the Capital and are heading to Cansington.”James smiled after receiving the news. “Got it.”Gloom said, “I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll have to clean up the aftermath in the Capital and get rid of your subordinate’s information. The Emperor will surely come to question me after returning.”“Alright.” James nodded.Gloom asked, “When are you leaving?”James replied calmly, “I can’t rush it. If I leave now, it will make the Emperor suspicious of me. I plan to stay for a few more days and wait for the Emperor to return to Sol. I’ll have to pay him another visit before leaving.”“Do as you please but be careful.”Gloom hung up the phone after he finished speaking.Paradise Hotel, Presidential Suite No.888.James stood on the balcony and reveled in th
Tonight, the Capital was thrown into turmoil. Countless gangsters showed up in the General Assembly Hall and caused a huge commotion. The Red Flame army was dispatched to arrest these gangsters.Unexpectedly, the whole city was also blocked off soon after. Police and military vehicles swarmed the streets, setting up sentries at major intersections throughout the city. The citizens were perplexed and did not understand what was happening. Thus, most chose to obediently stay at home.The Red Flame army stormed the city but had no luck finding Blake. It was a sleepless night for them. The night sky was soon lit up by the sun.The next day…James’ sleep was interrupted by Quincy.He opened his eyes in confusion and saw that Quincy had already prepared breakfast for him on the table. He picked up his phone and saw it was already ten in the morning.“It’s already ten o’clock. It’s been a long time since I’ve last slept this much.”“You must be hungry. I’ve got you breakfast.” Qu
‘Could it be James?’The thought crossed his mind.Seconds later, he denied the possibility. James was crippled and had no authority. He could not have accomplished it. Additionally, the influential officials in the Capital all want him dead and would never be willing to help me.There was no reason for James to help Blake either.“Continue to investigate and get to the bottom of it. Also, send out a wanted order for Blake. We must recapture him.”“Understood!” The generals nodded.…Today, the sun shined brightly.James got out of bed, had something to eat, and requested Quincy to push him outside so that he could bask in the sun.“Where to now, James?”Pushing James’ wheelchair on the streets, Quincy could not help asking.She had been pushing him around for two hours. Never had she served another person like this before in her whole life.Her feet were already sore.“Let’s go walk around the Emperor’s Mansion.”James was ecstatic. He had rescued his life-saving straw
“I’ll keep that in mind!”James smiled brightly.“Mere parasite venom isn’t going to bring me down! Sooner or later, I will return to the courthouse to pick up the Blade of Justice and behead those who have sinned!”“Haha. I’ll be waiting for your glorious return to claim it once again! However, I’m afraid you might not have the chance. I’ve heard that Cansington is incredibly chaotic right now, and since you’ve offended a lot of people, many of them want you dead. You’ll be in danger if you go back there. I suggest you stay in the Capital. At least no one dares to touch you here.”The Emperor showed a sardonic smile. It made him look gloomy and creepy.“Let’s head back, Quincy.” James did not say anything more.“Alright.”Quincy pushed James back to the nearby parking lot and drove back to the hotel.Soon, they returned to the hotel.After returning to the hotel, James felt his stomach grumbling again.He rubbed his abdomen and said embarrassedly, “I’m a little hungry. Could
James smiled and said, “I’m full.”“Okay.”Quincy answered casually and said, “Your flight is at two o’clock in the afternoon. We should have enough time if we check out now and rush to the airport.James nodded. “Alright then, let’s check out.”Quincy hurriedly escaped. James leaned against the sofa and watched as Quincy left. He could not help but mutter, “What’s on that woman’s mind? Why was she blushing all of a sudden?”He plopped into the sofa and lit a cigarette.Soon, Quincy had successfully checked them out. The two left the hotel and took a taxi to the airport.After waiting for about ten minutes, passengers were allowed to board the plane.The plane slowly took off into the sky. On the plane back to Cansington, James closed his eyes and rested. He was groggy when they arrived in Cansington.“James, we’ve landed.” Quincy's voice rang in his ears.He opened his eyes and rubbed his temples, asking, “We arrived already?”“What’s wrong? Do you have a headache again?”
James had plans to return to the Southern Plains.He would wield the Blade of Justice again and claim the lives of those unpunishable by law.Although he needed powerhouses like the Elite Eight to assist him, they had already exposed themselves.Keeping them around would only inconvenience him.“Understood.” No one said anything more.James nodded. “Alright, head back immediately. Cansington’s affairs aren’t your concerns anymore.”“Boss, what about the antidote…”Wave Dragon looked at James warily.Before submitting to James, he had consumed a poison made by him.He constantly feared for his life, worried that he would die from it.James smiled and reassured him, “Go look for Henry. He’ll give you the antidote.”“Understood.” The Elite Eight nodded and turned to leave.Only James, Quincy, and Blake remained in the room.Blake was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a cigar between his fingers. He chuckled and said, “I was curious how you managed to subdue them
James was interested in the history of the Gu Sect that existed a hundred years ago.Blake harked back to the past, and after a while, he said, “It’s a long story. The Gu Sect has always been isolated from the world. It wasn’t until a hundred years ago that our existence was exposed.“Three major families formed the Gu Sect—the Mavericks, the Davis, and the Owens. Consequently, there were three patriots.“A hundred years ago, someone infiltrated our village and sought out the Mavericks’ head. This person wanted to use our Gu raising abilities and venom to conquer the world.“My family, the Blakes, united with the Owens and allied with some martial arts experts from the outside world to wipe out the Mavericks.”Halfway through the story, Blake took a deep breath.“This happened a hundred years ago when Sol had just been founded. The person who initiated the battle against Gu raisers was the then King of Sol. After wiping out the Mavericks, he betrayed us. He was afraid our familie
“True Energy? What’s that?” James asked.“Let me think how I should break it down for you.” Blake massaged his temples, trying to think of an easier way to explain it to James, but to no avail.He had only heard of it and was still far from reaching the level of cultivating True Energy.Blake racked his brain for a while and said, “To put it simply, it’s an energy that one is born with. Since ancient times, martial arts have been divided into two categories—external and internal.”He glanced at James.“You’ve reached the pinnacle of External Martial Arts, and to reach your highest potential, you have to learn to cultivate True Energy.”James' face was grim. Blake’s words opened his eyes.He never expected such an unrealistic thing as True Energy to exist. “So, how am I supposed to cultivate True Energy?”Blake explained, “You’ll have to use a specific cultivation method. Since ancient times, different grandmasters have practiced exclusive cultivation methods, which were the
