Seeing Truett in such a state, James, hidden in the shadows, felt a trace of relief. Despite everything, Truett still believed in him. It wasn't out of naivety or ignorance. Truett understood the truth perfectly well but chose to trust him anyway.

Truett was the young master of Skynet, and despite his noble birth and privileged upbringing, he never displayed arrogance. This was why James had high hopes for him, tested him strictly, and used drastic measures to inspire his transformation.

As Truett carried Xitlaly away step by step, James slowly turned around, watching them go.

James murmured, “What is a true friend? It means that everything you do has his most reasonable and understandable explanation.”

Thea, who had also landed, snorted coldly, “You don’t feel guilty? You’re so shameless!”

James asked, “Why should I feel guilty? You’re a woman and won’t understand the friendship between men!”

Thea grabbed Yaretzi and said, “This bastard is talking about us. Let’s beat him up!”
