Chapter 753
Mount Dragon Treasure Mountain, Fortune River.James sat on a rock with his phone in hand, analyzing what happened in the three months before the Cadens’ villa was set ablaze ten years ago.Quincy saw beside him and asked, “What are you looking at, James?”Thea’s curiosity was also piqued. Last night, she concluded that she did not want to lose James to Quincy. Therefore, she went to look for them and coincidentally joined their trip. Until now, she still had no idea what James’ plan was.James put his phone down and looked at the mountain across the river, explaining, “I’m looking at the weather reports back then. I’m trying to deduce the river's depth by analyzing if there was any heavy rain that year.”Quincy frowned and asked, “Why do you need to know the water levels?” James explained, “Back then, I jumped into the river and held onto a log, floating along the current. That’s how I survived. I didn’t sink to the bottom of the river, so I definitely drifted to the undergro

Thea immediately interrupted and reached out to support James. She glared at Quincy and said coldly, “I’ll take care of this. You shouldn’t get too intimate with my husband in the future.” Quincy let go of James with an embarrassed expression.Although technically, James had accepted her as his girlfriend, Thea was still his ex-wife, and she felt slightly guilty toward her.Deep down, even she felt that she was stealing Thea’s man.James was cold and was suffering from a headache. Feeling faint, he did not have the energy to argue with Thea.He could only cast Quincy an apologetic look.Quincy understood and gave him a slight nod.Thea helped James back into the tent nearby to rest. The tent was already filled with pillows and blankets.James made himself comfortable after entering the tent and tried to rest.However, Thea did not leave him. Instead, she sat beside him and looked at him with teary eyes. “James, are you still mad at me?”James did not want to answer and kept

Thea was stunned.‘James came to the cavern to find a way to detoxify the venom?‘He’s doing this all for me?’She suddenly felt that she did not understand James at all.James had been doing so much for her and was even worrying about the venom in her body. Meanwhile, she was only causing him trouble.“I…”She parted her lips but was unable to utter a word.Quincy ignored her and walked back into the tent.James’ eyes were shut, and he had already drifted into sleep.Even asleep, his face looked pale and weak.Quincy felt helpless and sighed upon seeing the condition he was in.James slept for a very long time and was woken up by pain.This time, it was not just a simple headache. Instead, he felt an excruciating pain throughout his entire body.It felt as if countless poisonous worms were biting on his flesh, drinking his blood, burrowing into his bones, and trying to tear his body apart.He was a soldier who had been through hundreds of battles and suffered all kinds o

Disappointment spread across James’ face.Quincy held his hand and comforted him. “Don’t worry. We’ll find it.”“I hope so.” James nodded lightly.He knew the chances of finding it were slim. Even if they found it, what he was looking for might not be inside.He continued to wait patiently for updates. Soon, it was evening.The soldiers that had stayed back to search the cavern returned.They had scouted for an extended period but could not find any statue or boulder more than ten meters high.The campfire continued to burn at the riverbank.Daniel asked, “What should we do now, James?”James fell into thought.Even dozens of trained soldiers could not find the statue after a whole day’s search. It was unlikely for them to find it at this point. There were only two possibilities—the statue or stone had collapsed after ten years, or they were looking in the wrong place.James took out the map and analyzed it again.He observed the map, looked at the river before him, and

Originally, the Emperor wanted to kill James.Although James was crippled, the fact that he was alive was enough to keep the Emperor at his wits’ ends.In the past, the Emperor could not get rid of him as he still possessed the Blade of Justice. Even though he had resigned from his position, his death would still be investigated.However, now that James was a civilian and had handed over the Blade of Justice, no one would care if he was dead or alive.As long as the Emperor covered it up well, he would be safe.Learning that James was looking for something, he once again had a change of mind.James must be looking for something extraordinary. He intended to grab it before killing him off once and for all.He hung up but was still worried. After a while, he made another phone call.“Is the person you reached out to reliable?”The hoarse voice sounded from the phone. “Don’t worry. He’s absolutely reliable. He was a mercenary abroad and worked with me. We’ve been through life and

Meanwhile, Quincy stayed up the whole night, guarding his tent.Thea, on the other hand, slept soundly.It was already the next day when she woke up.She rolled over, sat up, and picked up her phone. Seeing that it was eight in the morning, she slapped her forehead and cursed herself remorsefully, “Thea, you good-for-nothing!”She quickly got out of bed, fixed her messy hair, and walked out of the tent.Outside, the campfires were still burning.James was sitting in his wheelchair with Quincy massaging his head from behind.Thea walked over and called out, “Quincy.”Quincy turned her head and gestured for her to keep quiet.Thea came close and saw that James had fallen asleep in the wheelchair.Seeing Quincy’s exhausted face, she asked in a hushed tone, “D-did you not sleep at all?”“Huff...” Quincy sighed softly and said, “James' condition got worse again last night. He kept waking up either cold or in pain. His body feels like ice right now.”Thea reached out and touched

Daniel was a one-star general with great authority.Getting a submarine was a piece of cake to him.After making the call, he walked toward James and reported, “James, I’ve made the phone call, and the submarine will be arriving shortly. However, you’ll have to wait for a while.”“Alright.” James nodded and sat back in his wheelchair.An hour later, the submarine arrived.It was a small submarine that could only fit five people.When it arrived, Quincy had just woken up from her nap.At the riverbank…With the help of Quincy and Thea, James changed into a wetsuit.Quincy looked at James, who was already dressed in a wetsuit, and asked, “James, are you sure you don’t need me to come with you? You’re weak right now. What are you going to do if something happens in the cavern?”James reassured her, “Nothing will happen.”“Quincy, you wait at the riverbank. I’ll go with him,” said Thea.James turned to Thea and said, “You’re not allowed to go either. Just stay here. I’ll come b

Daniel quickly read the situation. He knew that if they chose to fight back, Quincy would surely get injured in the process, even if they managed to take down their enemies.He quickly pulled Quincy up and ran.Bang! Bang! Bang!Gunshots kept sounding from a distance.The opponent’s firepower was overwhelming.Although Daniel had brought experienced soldiers from the special forces, they were not equipped with destructive weapons and only carried pistols.Their pistols were not enough to suppress the opponent’s firepower.Soon, the soldiers sustained injuries.Daniel had no time to be concerned with their safety and quickly ran away with Quincy.Seeing them fleeing from the scene, Dominator quickly ordered his men, “Chase after them! Don’t let even one escape!”The mercenaries quickly chased after them.However, the mercenaries were quickly suppressed by the soldiers covering for them.These mercenaries turned all their firearm toward Daniel.Daniel had run for more than t
