Chapter 1159

As James looked at the women, he could see that their complexions were good and still in good mental

condition. It was evident they had not been tortured in the past few days.

“Let them go.”

Lucjan shrugged and waved his hand dismissively. “Of course, I can let them go, James. They’re all

free to leave any time, but just listen here. You’ve killed Mount Thunder Sect’s leader. I;m sure you’re

aware of the implications of killing someone of that status in the ancient martial world?”

James went silent and did not reply.

Lucjan continued. “The Mount Thunder Sect is highly respected in the ancient martial world. Their sect

leader 100 years ago was the Great Grandmaster, and Mount Thunder Sect stod at the helm of all the

ancient martial artists. Not to mention, they’re also the main force behind the King. Do you think you

can still return to being the Dragon King and Emperor despite all this?

Quincy frowned uneasily upon hearing Lucjan’s lengthy monologue. “James… What exactly have you

done?”

Although she had no idea who or what the Mount Thunder Sect was, it was not hard to tell that James

had killed an incredibly prominent figure.

James did not spare Quincy a glance.

“Let them go first.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that just yet.” Lucjan shook his head dramatically.

He was not stupid. James was young but already possessed immense strength. If he let them go that

easily, he would have nothing to use against James and the man would immediately turn against him

Lucjan took out a pill and slid it over to James. “Eat it. I’ll release them after you swallow it.”

James took the pill on the table.

The black and odorless pill was the size of an olive.

“Don’t do it, James! Don’t eat it!”

“James, don’t be fooled!”

The women pleaded as they tried to prevent James from consuming the pill.

James hesitated for a while. Then he promptly opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

“No…”

The faces of the women turned pale instantly.

After swallowing it, James asked nonchalantly, “What’s this?”

“Its called Soul Eating Pill.”

Lucjan smiled and replied, “This unique poison is the specialty of the Owen family. No matter the

strength of your martial arts, the poison will take effect the moment you consume it. You’ll have to take

an antidote once a month. If you miss a single dose, the poison will spread and you’ll feel as if a

thousand tiny insects are feasting upon your heart. The pain is said to be so unbearable that you wish

you were dead.

“James, I know you’re a doctor and have a lot of medical experience, but my poison is made with a

unique formula. Even the Medical Valley won’t be able to detoxify it.”

James’s expression remained unflappable, making it difficult to read his emotions.

“Can I take them away now?”

Lucjan gestured for him to proceed and said, “Go ahead.”

James ate the poison, so he believed that James would return to him unless he’d rather die an

excruciating death.

“Bring out the Callahans.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Lucjan clapped his hands again.

Soon, the Callahans were brought to the living room.

“James.”

“James!”novelbin

The Callahans began clamoring at James the moment they saw him.

James stood up, looked at Lucjan, and said stonily, “Prepare two cars for me. I need to send them

back.”

Lucjan looked at James and leered at him. “That sounds like a pain. Why don’t I get someone to send

them back to Cansington for you? The Mount Thunder Conference is happening soon. Martial artists

from various backgrounds and walks of life will soon gather at Mt. Thunder. This grand event only

happens once every hundred yeards. If you send these people back, it’ll only waste a few days

between now and then.”

James thought about his suggestion and felt that it was reasonable. He would be wasting time traveling

back and forth.

“Give me some time with them then.”

James got up and walked toward Quincy and the other women, saying, “Follow me outside.”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out the door.

Quincy and the others followed after him.

In the yard outside, Quincy looked at James and asked worriedly, “What happened, James?’

“It’s hard to explain.” James wore a forlorn expression.

He turned to Tiara.

Tiara quickly lowered her head shyly.

James specifically took a look at her belly but could not see any signs of pregnancy.

He wanted to ask about it but felt embarrassed doing in front of everyone. He was not sure how to

bring it up.

He took a deep breath and said, “You girls, head back to Cansington first and go to the Blithe King to

join up with Maxine and Thea. Don’t leave Cansington before New Year’s Day.”

Scarlett voiced out in concern, “What about you, James?”
