Maxine meticulously compiled and went through everything on the way back to the city.She only intended to voice her concerns, not to cause a rift between James and Thomas.James’ heart was already turbulent and hearing Maxine’s speculations only served to stir those feelings of unease more strongly.“I believe in my grandpa just like you believe in Tobias. Let’s end this conversation here. I’ll think about it after we return.” Even though he still had his doubts, he chose to continue believing in his grandfather.Thea stared daggers at Maxine and said haughtily, “Are you done now? You can leave if you’ve said enough. We’re going to do what couples do now. Don’t tell me you’d like to be part of the audience?”Maxine pressed her lips together, refrained from saying anything more, and got up to leave.After she left, Thea immediately clung to James. “Honey, you don't believe what she said, right? ”James gently shook his head. It was an extremely hard pill to swallow.He truste

The person in the lead was one of the Five Commanders, the Centurion of the North, Mr. Walker.In the North, his status was akin to a god’s.While his name might be unknown to those outside the region, everyone in the North knew who he was.The receptionist's jaw practically hit the floor when she saw him enter the hotel.‘What’s going on today?‘First, I saw the Black Dragon, and now the Centurion himself has shown up.’After subduing her astonishment, she quickly approached The Centurion and greeted him respectfully. “Good evening, Commander. How may I help you today?”The Centurion asked, “Which room is James staying in?”“H-He’s in 308.”The Centurion did not speak any further and simply headed upstairs.Knock! Knock! Knock!James’ deep contemplation was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door. Collecting himself, he stood up and headed for the door.Thea promptly stopped him. Putting her hand on his chest, she said, “Honey, you can sit down. I’ll answer it.”She qui

Mount Arclens.Several helicopters hovered lazily in the sky.Due to the lack of flat ground on the mountain’s peak, the helicopters could not land safely and were forced to hover in place as their passengers alighted.The helicopter's cabin door opened, and lengths of rope were thrown from the side of the door. Soon, uniformed men abseiled down along with some equipment.James looked down from the cabin.They were at least 50 meters above the ground. Although James was at the pinnacle of the first rank, he would most certainly not survive jumping down from such a high altitude.He fastened the rope to his belt, leaped out of the cabin, and quickly slid down. Shortly afterward, he landed soundly on the ground with a muffled thump.Maxine followed suit and appeared on the ground shortly after him.Meanwhile, Thea was gazing down from the helicopter in terror, her face as white as a sheet.Despite having cultivated True Energy to the third rank, she saw far away she was from the

Maxine pointed upward. “Based on Thomas' position when he fell, it seems impossible for him to have ended up here. He would have fallen on a rock about 100 meters from the opening of the hole and rolled…”After a brief pause, she continued. “He should have stopped rolling at around 200 meters deep. When we descended, I saw a pit where he would’ve come to a stop.”“Are you sure?”James was uncertain. He had only cared about going deeper and had not checked the cavern’s surroundings.“Alright, then. Let’s head back there to check.”Maxine jumped up, grabbed onto a stone a few meters away, and quickly climbed upward.Following her lead, James also opted to not use a rope and began scaling the rocky cavern.Eventually, they returned to the 100-meter mark.An enormous rock, more than 20 meters wide, jutted out precariously from the walls.Maxine raised her head and pointed, saying, “If he fell from there, he would’ve landed here.”She moved her body and pointed to the rock under h

On the cliff…Thea’s eyes frequently glanced down the cavern as she waited impatiently for James and Maxine to return.After checking for the umpteenth time, she finally saw James climbing back up and excitedly chirped, “How did it go, Honey?”James shook his head sadly. “This cavern is bottomless, and the heat was searing hot down there. We couldn't go any deeper. I doubt grandpa would’ve survived.”Maxine climbed up after him.James sighed and said dejectedly, “We’re done here. Let's go back.”Since they could not find him, James did not intend to waste another second in this cavern.Based on what he and Maxine had gleaned from the clues, he had a rough idea of what might have happened.His grandfather was most likely still alive.He was still slightly dubious about Maxine’s theory.James firmly believed that his grandfather would not bring harm him, or Thea.The only thing he was unsure about was why his grandfather needed to come up with so many elaborate plots.James t

James did not press the matter further since it was a matter of small consequence.“Alright, I’ll see you around.”James engaged in a brief conversation with the Blithe King and Daniel. Then he turned to leave.After leaving the military region…Thea tilted her head. “Honey, where are we going? Are we going back to the Callahans?”Before James could answer, Maxine interrupted. “James…”“Yeah?”James turned around and looked at Maxine, who was still traveling alongside James.Maxine said, “Grandpa sent me to protect you. As it stands, you’ve almost caught up to me now that you've recovered your cultivation base. Aside from that, you also have Thea, a grandmaster of the third rank beside you. It’d be pointless for me to stay in Cansington any longer. It's time for me to return to the Capital."“So soon?” James uttered in disappointment.She had a sharp mind and could think on her feet.Having Maxine beside him would be immensely beneficial to him. Her departing so quickly was

Cynthia had no business meddling in James' affairs. Upon seeing Thea, she had the urge to say something but swallowed the urge.Thea walked toward the sofa and sat opposite Cynthia. Then, she looked at James. “Honey, what are you planning on doing next?”James also sat down. He shook his head and replied, “I’ve no plans for now.”He was like a blind man that was not able to see the path ahead.“We’ll stay in Cansington for the time being and observe the overall situation. Right now, there isn't much to do. All I can do is hone my skills and continue to improve my strength as much as possible.”Maxine had made James aware of how far beneath the Ancient Four's strength he was.As he was, he was too weak to achieve anything.He was nothing compared to the Ancient Four.Unless he reaches the fifth rank, he would essentially be a sitting duck for his enemies.Regardless of his rank, he would still end up doomed if the Ancient Four were really determined to eliminate him.“Honey,

After James had left, Luther approached and stood beside Cynthia. He opened his mouth and reminded her. “Miss, there are plenty of women around James. I hope you don’t get involved in his love life.”Cynthia side-eyed Luther and sneered. “Your imagination’s run amok. That won’t happen.”“But you’re going to practice the Dual Cultivation method with him…”“Alright, that’s enough out of you. Quit nagging. Go back to the North if you’ve got nothing better to do.” Cynthia looked at him with a displeased expression.Luther wisely snapped his mouth shut.James had not slept in the past few days. He was bound to feel physically and mentally exhausted even if he had the stamina that comes with being a martial artist. He collapsed into the sweet embrace of his bed as soon as he reached his room.Meanwhile, in a particular courtyard within the Capital…The courtyard had the feel of a historical relic that was hundred of years old. It was built mainly with wood and was painted red. From af
