Chapter 1791
Meanwhile, Thea sat beside James and remained silent.
After some time, James looked at Thomas and Nicholas and said, “Grandpa, Dad, I’m notinterested in participating in your plans. However, I promise I won’t get in your way. Do whateveryou wish. Thea and I will be living in seclusion from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Thomas was dismayed.
“James, I really wish you can lend me a hand. You’re the only one closest to crossing into the ninthrank. Not only that, but the Cadens are besieged by enemies on all sides—the Prince of OrchidMountain, the Omniscient Deity, and the Blood Race. We’ll all benefit greatly from slaying thedragon. Soon, many powerful martial artists will emerge. Without your help, it’ll be impossible for usto achieve our goal.”
Thomas continued, “James, I really hope you can lend me and the Cadens a helping hand. Withyou and Thea by our side, it’ll only be a matter of time before the Cadens dominate the world.”
Still, James was unimpressed.
He looked at Nicholas and asked, “Dad, I’ve never seen my mother, nor have I ever heard youmentioning her. Who exactly is she?”novelbin
James asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Nicholas fell silent. After some time, he said, “I don’t know who your mother iseither.”
“When I was twenty, I took in an injured woman I encountered outside the Cadens’ residence andtended to her injuries. We ended up having sexual intercourse. However, she disappeared without atrace after giving birth to you.
“I know nothing about her background nor how she’s currently doing. Perhaps she’s still alivesomewhere.
“The only thing I know is her name, Xandra Lafleur.”
Nicholas said.
All these years, he had been searching for Xandra. However, he could not find her no matter howhard he tried.
“I see…”
Then, James asked, “Do you have a photograph of her?”
Nicholas rummaged through his wallet, pulled out a yellowish photo, and handed it over to James.
James scrutinized the yellowed photo. The woman in the photo was beautiful and innocent-looking.
“Is she my mother?”
Pensive, James looked at the photo.
Thea leaned over to him to have a glimpse at the woman.
Then, James returned the photo to Nicholas and said, “Grandpa, Dad, please leave. I won’t acceptyour proposal.”
Thomas sighed in frustration. Since James was unwilling to help him out, he had no other choicebut to leave with Nicholas.
Three days later, at a random village in Sol…
Every single building in this village had been destroyed. Behind the village was a mountain.
A man and a woman were holding swords in their hands.
They were James and Thea.
Thea looked at the dilapidated village and said, “Back then, I’d seen some skeletal remains in thehouse upon returning from farm work. Then, I lost consciousness, and the powerful aura I exudeddestroyed the entire village.”
James smiled and said, “Indeed, a lot has happened over the past year. Finally, everything’sresolved.”
“Let’s go.”
Thea pulled James’ hand and said, “Let’s go to the back of the mountain and bury the MalevolentSword and the Primordial Dragon Blade. From today onward, we will have nothing to do with theaffairs of the ancient martial world.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded.
Then, they headed to the back of the mountain. There was a pond, and the two stood by the edgeof the pond.
Thea tossed the Malevolent Sword into the pond. Soon, the Malevolent Sword sank into the depthsof the water. James followed suit and tossed the Primordial Dragon Blade into the pond as well.Then, hand in hand, the two turned to leave.
