Female NovelThea rose to her feet and filled James’ plate.With a gentle face, she handed over the plate to James and said, “Honey, here...”James accepted it. As he saw Thea’s gentle face, he smiled. “Thanks, Darling.”When he called her ‘Darling’, Thea's heart melted.Her nose started to tingle, and she almost burst into tears.It had been a long time since James had called her ‘Darling’. At this moment, she thought that all her efforts up until this pointhad been worthwhile.It took a few moments before she managed to calm her emotions.Showing her pearly whites, she grinned and said, “After we get through this hectic six-month time, regardless of the outcome,we're going to leave and live in isolation, is that alright?”“Yes.” James nodded.He had grown weary of days like these.Ten years in the army and ten years of fighting. He was already worn out.If it had not been for the unexpected situation at that time, he would not have gone back to the Southern Plains.James picked up his cutlery and started to eat in silence.“That's right...” Halfway through eating, James suddenly put down his knife and fork, looked at Thea, and asked, “Do you knowabout the Phantom Army, Thea?”“Yes.” Thea nodded and said, “After you left Sol, Maxine visited me quite often and chatted with me. We've discussed some ofthe Capital's circumstances. I'm aware of the Phantom Army's appearance, and | know that Tobias is the Phantom Army'scommander. I'm also aware that the Phantom Army is made up entirely of ancient martial artists.”James pondered for a while and asked, “What do you think the Phantom Army was established for specifically?”Since leaving the Cadens' Mansion, James had been thinking about this question.He had thought of many possibilities, but he was not entirely sure of them.James felt Thea had changed.She was no longer the sweet and naive young girl she used to be.The current Thea was acutely aware of the circumstances in the Capital and Sol.Thea actually did have a conversation with Maxine about this.She began to speak, “According to Maxine's careful analysis, after Tobias sneakily attacked Bennett and stole his Spirit Turtle'score, Tobias must be afraid of Bennett. So, he's in need of a powerful ally.“Before he snatched away the core, Tobias’ cultivation base was at the seventh rank. Now that he's refined the core, hiscultivation base must have reached the eighth rank. He shouldn't need an ally anymore after reaching the eighth rank.“Given that the eighth rank is far too powerful, there aren't many people who can threaten him anymore.“But he still became the commander of the Phantom Army. He was the head of the Caden family. Even though the Caden familyis powerful, they were never interested in politics. It's impossible for Tobias to become the commander of the Phantom Armywithout someone else's assistance.“Furthermore, regarding Orient Commerce's recent performance, it's possible that the King of a century ago, a.k.a Lance, hasstepped forward to take control of the overall situation.“Across Sol, he’s the only one capable of assembling an army of ancient martial artists in such a short period of time.”James was listening intently.
Thea continued, “The Phantom Armymay have been formed for a numberof reasons. First, to deal with the GuSect. Second, to maintain controlover the King. Third, to-kesp.gduHpimcheck. ‘More importantly,new forces are constantly emerging.It appeared that the earlier promisewas no longer valid.
