“Wait, what?”Both of them looked at James with their mouths agape.James continued to elaborate on his earlier point, “The medical skills I learned ten years ago were from the first volume, and this book is the second volume of the same series. It has records on how to use the Crucifier in its full capacity.”The second volume of the Medical Book was beyond anything James could imagine.Not only did it have texts on cultivation methods and how to use True Energy, but it also explained further applications of the Crucifier.The first volume of the medical book was akin to a book on the letters of the alphabet, while the second volume taught one how to combine said letters to form different words.Once she realized the implications of James’ words, her eyes lit up. “So, you’re not going to die?”“Mhm.”James responded affirmatively and said, “I can learn how to cultivate True Energy with this book. The venom in my body will naturally dissipate when I cultivate True Energy.”“Th

Meditation was commonly used as a means to calm one’s sensesIt was not a term that James felt was necessary to explain to Quincy.Quincy served him a plate of rice.James gladly received the food. He picked up his utensils and set to devour the food instantly.After being listless for so long, he had finally regained some strength and felt slightly more energetic.Although his current shape was far from what a normal person would consider healthy, he was confident he could cultivate True Energy if he kept this up. Moreover, he had only just gone through the second volume's first chapter.He had still yet to read the main content transcribed inside.James was confident he would find an Internal Martial Arts cultivation method in the following chapters.Seeing that James’ condition had finally started to improve, Quincy also breathed a sigh of relief.After eating, James put down the tableware and turned to Quincy. “By the way, where’s General Highsmith’s ward? I’d like to go

Quincy stood outside the corridor and found herself a seat.She wore a complicated expression as a billion thoughts raced through her mind.Meanwhile, inside the ward…Thea looked at James frantically while lying in bed and pleaded. “Honey, let’s remarry.”James raised his hand and interrupted Thea.Getting back together with her was not an option.He had many things he needed to do and wished to avoid involving Thea again.The Emperor wielded a considerable amount of power, and someone more powerful than him was definitely pulling his strings.Marrying Thea again would only put her in harm’s way yet another time.He knew this for a fact in his brain, but his heart was still undecided. He owed Thea for saving his life. Without her, he would never have become the man he was today. He once swore to protect Thea and devote himself to her for the rest of his life.Unfortunately, many things happened along the way. Circumstances had changed.Speaking of circumstances, another w

After obtaining the second volume of the medical book, James was out of the woods for now.However, he still had quite a lot of things he needed to settle.Getting some help would make his life a lot easier.Blake was the perfect man for the job.He came to the apartment unit the Blithe King had previously provided for them.Many soldiers were posted around the apartment block to keep Blake in check.If Blake really wanted to leave, these soldiers would not be nearly enough to stop him.Surprisingly, Blake did not leave and obediently stayed in the unit for several days.James opened the door and walked inside.“Yo, you’re finally back.”As soon as James entered the apartment unit, Blake greeted him with a bright smile. “You caused such a huge scene. I was so sure you were dead. You’re a really lucky guy, huh?”James smiled faintly as he walked toward the sofa. Then, he took a seat and made himself comfortable.His body was still frail, and standing on his feet for so long

Outside the door…Quincy propped James up and looked at him with concern. “James, you already know that he’s dangerous, so why do you still insist on getting him to collaborate with you?”James halted his steps for a while and said, “He’s Dark Castle’s founder, one of the deadliest assassin’s guilds in the world. He has huge sway in the underworld, and it’ll be easier for me to get things done with his help.Quincy asked worriedly, “What if he just pretends to agree and disappears after getting the antidote from you?” James thought for a moment and said, “That probably won’t happen.”Although Blake was a ruthless and vicious man that had no qualms about killing, he was still a martial artist.James was familiar with a martial artist’s core tenants.They always stayed true to their word.This was only applicable to those who had dedicated years to training, though. Most that have yet to reach a certain level in martial arts would often go back on their word.Blake was someon

After persuading Blake, everything that came next would be much easier.Quincy drove James back home to her house again.After returning home, James could not wait to continue reading the medical book.James completely immersed himself in its densely packed text.He did his best to understand the ancient words as he slowly went through them.Before he started, he had requested a notebook and pen from Quincy.Whenever he came across a term or text he could not understand, he’d make a note of it in the notebook. Later he turned on the computer and searched for their meaning online.James spent his whole day at Quincy’s home studying the contents of the medical book.“James, you should take a break. Here, have a glass of water.”Quincy walked over with a glass of warm water, took the medical book out of James’ hands, and placed it aside. With a look of concern, she said, “You’ve been reading for hours. Your body is still quite frail. You shouldn’t be overworking yourself.”After

Quincy’s nonchalant response made James’ embarrassment even more pronounced.“U-Um, could you get out of the bathroom first? I need to get dressed.”“Okay,” Quincy replied while her eyes peered at the bathtub as if she was trying to check something.After a glance, she turned and left the bathroom.James sighed in relief.Then, he got out of the bath and quickly got dressed. After putting on his clothes, he walked out.Quincy had already set the table for them.When he sat next to her, she passed him a set of utensils. James took them and started eating.Halfway through the meal, James' phone rang.He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a while, he denied the call.“Who was it? Why didn’t you answer it?”James simply put his phone back down and picked his utensils up again. “I didn’t recognize the number. It must have been one of those telemarketers.”Shortly after turning down the call, his phone rang again.It was the same number.This tim

Quincy drove as fast as she could.Soon, they arrived at the military hospital.The military hospital was not a public institution, so regular civilians were not permitted entry.It was only opened up to military personnel who were in need of treatment.Family members of military members were also eligible to be treated here.All those that were admitted to the hospital were from military backgrounds or had connections to the military.Many people gathered outside the inpatient ward, looking and pointing at the woman sitting precariously on the eight-floor window.“Isn’t that the new genius doctor from Cansington, Thea?”“What happened to her? Why is she trying to jump?”“It’s probably because of James.”“James?”“Yeah. She wasn’t aware of James’ identity in the past and divorced him. Shortly after, a crisis broke out in the Southern Plains. James donned his uniform once again during her birthday party and returned to help with the situation. That’s when she found out he was
