Another reporter stepped forward and stood in front of Thea. “Ms. Thea, what evidence do you have to support your claims? You could face legal charges for slandering them.”“I don’t have any evidence. I simply explained what Centennial tried to do to the Callahans this morning. I know that they’re likely going to take revenge, but we’re not scared.”After she finished speaking, Thea turned around and entered the hospital.It was getting really hard to suppress the poison at this point. The simple act of standing was already taking its toll on her.Thea had no choice but to forcefully expel the poison from her body as soon as possible.She quickly rushed into the hospital, went up to the office on the second floor, and locked the door. Then, she began to circulate her energy to get rid of the poison.In her panicked state, Thea made a mistake as soon as she began. She almost lost control of her True Energy. This in turn allowed the toxin to spread rapidly throughout her bloodstrea
After a short while, Thea felt a warm and comfortable energy spreading throughout her body. The warmth seemed to come from the points where James had placed his needles.James carefully inserted energy-infused needles into her body.In an instant, there were already seven placed in various places on Thea’s body.After the eight needles, his True Energy was almost spent.With this technique, a portion of the poison in Thea’s body had been successfully expelled.However, there was a limit to using Crucifier this way. Thus, James could not completely eliminate all the poison in Thea’s body.“Wait a while, Thea. I’ll go get some acupuncture needles.”“Alright.”Thea was lying on the sofa.She felt much better and was relieved that she was not going to die.James hurried off to get some acupuncture needles and returned to the office just as quickly. Then, he closed the door and started using acupuncture needles to expel the rest of the inside Thea.Within a few minutes, Thea’s bo
“W-Wait, what about Universal Hospital? I managed to beat Jonathan this time, but he said that this wasn’t over and that he’d be back for revenge,” Thea tugged at James’ sleeve worriedly.James' face darkened. “These people sure like stirring the pot... If the situation gets dire and they continue using dirty tactics, we’ll have to just beat them at their own game then.”“What’re you planning to do, Honey? Thea frowned at him.Then, she quickly reminded him. “There are plenty of eyes on you right now. One wrong move, and it’s likely you’ll get in a lot of trouble. It’ll be hard to get out of the mess if that happens. You should leave it to me. I’ll get people from the God-King Palace to secretly dispose of Jonathan and the others.”“It’s fine. All that is none of your concern.”James shook his head and denied the suggestion.Thea was a woman. He did not want to drag her into such unsavory dealings.“But…”“No ifs or buts. Just trust me and don’t act on your own,” James said aut
Madelyn had found Thea and called out to her.The moment Thea turned around, Madelyn swiftly struck out with her palm.Taken by surprise by the sudden attack, Thea quickly channeled her True Energy into her palms to defend herself.Their palms collided.An intense force swept toward Madelyn, pushing her several meters away. Her pretty face turned pale, and her arms felt rubbery.She hid her hands behind her back and stared at Thea. After a few seconds, she chucked and walked over with a smile. “Wow, Thea. You’ve certainly surpassed my expectations.”Thea’s face tensed up as she on as Madelyn approached her. She squinted her eyes. “Who are you?”Madelyn said with a beguiling smile, “I’m from the Cadens. My name is Madelyn Caden. I heard Maxine speak of you before. She said you were a beauty who managed to become a grandmaster in a very short amount of time. I didn’t believe her and came to have a look for myself. Seeing you in person, you’re way better than she had described.”H
Hearing that Quincy would return soon, James let out a sigh of relief. Then, he replied with a smile. “Thank you, Thea.”“Honey, you have to promise me that you won’t look at any other women besides me,” Thea said bitterly.She felt threatened by Quincy.Quincy was not only pretty but also had a good eye for business. Most importantly, she was skilled at utilizing her charm. Thea was scared that she’d tempt James and lose him to Quincy if she was not careful.James cooed reassuringly, “Nonsense. I only need Quincy back to manage Messiah. It’s impossible between the two of us. If I was set on being with her, I would’ve agreed to do so a long time ago. There truly isn’t anything between the both of us.”Although Thea found it hard to believe that James and Quincy were completely innocent, she still felt relieved that James bothered to explain because it meant he was worried about her feelings.She believed that as long as she worked at it, James would come to love her eventually.
Both James and Blake felt that it was a fair trade.Blake had tried for decades to obtain a cultivation method to become a grandmaster but to no avail.“James, I’ll give you all my wealth in exchange for the cultivation method.” Blake stood up and looked at James ecstatically. “Alright, deal.” James smiled brightly.He took out a notebook he had written in long ago and handed it to Blake, saying, “I’ve had it ready all along.”Blake took the notebook and opened it, quickly scanning through the text. Indeed, there was a cultivation method jotted down in the book.Blake’s hands trembled with excitement. It had been twenty years. He finally acquired a cultivation method after twenty years of hard work.At last, he could avenge his family. He wanted to scream to release his pent-up emotions.“You got the cultivation method. So, the money?”“I’ll transfer the money to you from my overseas account right away. As for the remainder of the treasures, we’ll retrieve them bit by bit. Gi
After bidding farewell, Blake hurried off.James picked his phone up to call Thea. He wanted to confirm Quincy’s arrival.As soon as he raised his phone, Thea called.He answered the phone.“Honey, are you coming home today?”“No. I’m going to Cynthia’s place since my medical book is there. I have to practice the Invincible Body Siddhi technique.”“I’ll come to you, then.”Thea did not say anything more and hung up the phone.James wanted to ask about Quincy, but Thea had already ended the call. He decided to wait till they met at Cynthia’s house to ask about it.He left the company and went straight to Cynthia’s house.When he arrived, he found Thea chatting with Cynthia. Thea stood up upon seeing James. She pulled him close and said, “Honey, I’ve decided to train in the military region for a while.”James frowned and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to? You won’t be able to endure the training.”“I can do it,” Thea said with resolution.“Fine.”James thought for a while a
James was relieved to have Quincy back in the company.With both Quincy and Scarlett around, the company could operate smoothly. After explaining the overall situation, James went back to his room.Meanwhile, in a particular villa in Cansington…Madelyn's residence in Cansington.She had seen Thea today and was surprised to learn that Thea possessed a significant amount of True Energy that was even higher than hers.Madelyn could not comprehend how an ordinary person could become a grandmaster of the third rank in such a short period.She leaned back on the sofa and pensively propped her chin on her slender arms. Suddenly, a young man walked toward her.The man was in his early twenties with flowy shoulder-length hair. He was dressed in a buttoned shirt and had a distinctive temperament.“You’re here?”Madelyn returned to her senses and looked at the young man beside her.The young man sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at her. “Madelyn, sinc
