‘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
“No.” Blake shook his head.He stared at James and said, “James, I’ve already given you the detoxification method in exchange for your favor of breaking me out of prison. We’re even now. So, give me the antidote, and we can part ways.”James smiled sardonically. “Do you think that’s possible? You’re a wanted criminal right now. Where can you escape to?”“That’s none of your business.”“Blake, what do you think about teaming up with me?”“Teaming up?” Blake looked at James.James nodded and suggested, “Reign is an enemy that killed your family. At the same time, he’s also an enemy of mine. He’s an accomplice of the Emperor, and just as you’ve mentioned, they’re scheming to conquer the world just as those people did a hundred years ago. If they succeed, the world will be thrown into chaos. They must be stopped.”Blake asked indifferently, “What does the world's fate have to do with me?”James replied, “Decades ago, your grandfather rejected Reign because he didn’t want Gu to dest
“You don’t have a choice.”James threatened coldly, “There’s only one path you can take. You either team up with me and help me run some errands or get sent back to prison. Take your time to think about it. I’ll come to see you again.”Upon saying that, James got up to leave.Quincy, who tagged along, remained silent throughout the whole conversation. Seeing that James was about to stand up, she quickly rushed over to support him.Blake sat on the sofa with a grim expression as he watched James getting up.Quincy supported James and left the unit.Outside the apartment building…Quincy asked, “James, do you believe him?”James nodded. “Yeah. Sol’s history dates back thousands of years, and many things have been buried in the past. I believe in the existence of grandmasters capable of cultivating True Energy.”Quincy was suspicious of Blake’s unbelievable stories.Despite that, she dropped the topic and asked, “So, where to?”Standing on the district streets, James watched t
