Chapter 2149
Laelia quickly left with her family.
It did not take long for them put distance between themselves and the Soul Beast Mountain Range,where the Dark Keep’s base was located.novelbin
Laelia shed tears of joy after they left the mountain range.
“I’m so happy that you’re alright, Father. It’s fortunate nothing happened to you. The entiretyTabalham was brutally massacred. I thought you…”
“Sobs…”
Thinking of everything she had experienced recently, Laelia began to weep.
Laelia was a princess that grew up in royalty and had never been hunted down before.
Her suppressed emotions burst out as she recalled her escort guards sacrificing themselves for herone after the other, laying in pools of blood while she fled.
“Laelia.”
Zoe embraced her in his arms and gently comforted her, “You’ve been through a lot.”
“What’s going on, Laelia?”
“How did you get us out of the Dark Keep?”
“Did you hand over our family’s jade pendant to the Dark Keep?”
Some of her other family members surrounded her.
Only then did Laelia begin to explain everything that happened up to this point. She told them indetail about how James rescued her while she was being pursued, how they headed to Tabalham,and finally ended up in Liberty City.
After hearing her tale, the Targwyns were at a loss for words.
Surprised, Zoe asked, “When did such a powerful young man appear in the Land of Tabal?”
Laelia explained, “Father, he’s not a cultivator from the Land of Tabal. He came from beyond ourworld; from Earth. He came to the Land of Tabal in search of food supplies because Earth isexperiencing natural disasters.”
“I see.”
Zoe came to a sudden realization.
At that moment, a deafening explosion sounded in the distant mountain, causing the ground toshake as if the end of the world had arrived.
Soon, a man appeared.
It was none other than James.
James rushed over and descended from the sky, landing firmly on the ground.
“James.”
Laelia took a few steps forward.
Her family members regarded James warily. They learned from Laelia that he was a powerful manwho was not of their world. Even a powerhouse like the Dark Keep’s Master stood no chanceagainst him.
James approached with a smile and said, “I’vedestroyed the Dark Keep. From today onward, theDark Keep no longer exists in the Land of Tabal.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Zoe walked over with a grateful smile and said, “My family would’ve been doomed if it weren’t foryour help, Mr. Caden.”
James slightly waved his hand and said, “I‘m doing it for myself too. I saved your family in exchangefor food. Now that the Dark Keep has been destroyed, when will I be able to collect the food?”
Zoe immediately replied, “There’s no need to rush. After we head back to Tabalham and repair thecity, I’ll immediately order my people to gather provisions from all over the country for you.”
“James, where’s my jade pendant?”
Laelia looked at James expectantly.
James was taken aback.
He indeed had the jade pendant and should have returned it to Laelia long ago. However, hewanted it for himself and had not handed it back to her. He thought she would have forgotten aboutit by now and did not expect her to bring it up.
After a brief shock, he took out the Targwyn’s heirloom jade pendant from the Celestial Abode andhanded it back to Laelia.
“Here you go. I was keeping it safe for you.”
“Thanks.”
After returning the jade pendant, Laelia’s pretty face beamed with gratitude.
James simply stayed silent.
Although he wanted the jade pendant, it was not rightfully his and belonged to the Targwyn family.
“Let’s head back first,” said Zoe.
“Alright.” James nodded.
The group confidently left the mountain.
