Female Novel
Chapter 967
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 body was completely clear of the poison that plagued it
After regaining her strength, Thea quickly picked up her clothes and got dressed.
James immediately started chastising her, “That was completely irresponsible of you! I already told you
not to act impulsively. You wouldn’t have made it if I were even a few minutes late!”
“I-I didn’t have the time to think of something else. I thought I could suppress the poison in my body
and expel it. I made a mistake while circulating which caused the poison to spread normally. The
poison then made its way through my body. I was flustered because of the stress of the situation and
lost complete control over the poison.”
Thea lowered her head and sulked like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.
James did not further berate her for her actions.
Fortunately this time, nothing had happened.
“Don’t ever act so recklessly again. You’re not always going to be this lucky. I can’t save you every
time.”
“Okay,” Thea murmured dejectedly.
“By the way, do you know have any idea where Quincy is?” James asked Thea about Quincy’s
whereabouts yet again.
The current situation was looking rather dire.
Not only that, he was naturally not business savvy. Thus, he could not step up and take charge of
Messiah even if he wanted to. He needed Quincy’s help to manage the company.
Thea lowered her head dispiritedly.
She was not expecting James to still long for Quincy.
Thea was aware of Messiah Corporation’s situation. With so many unexpected incidents, someonenovelbin
capable was needed to keep the company afloat in hard times.
She looked at James and said firmly as she put her hand on her chest, “Honey, I can do it. I’m just as
good as Quincy. If you give me a chance, I’ll surely be able to save Messiah.”
“Thea, this isn’t a game we’re talking about here.”
James took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “There isn’t enough time
for you to learn to manage the company. There isn’t any room for mistakes right now. One wrong move
and we’re doomed. I hope you can think of the big picture and stop acting so petulantly. Things are
bigger than your discomfort against other women.”
“But I’m not trying to be childish!!!!”
“Then tell me where Quincy is. I need to bring her back. She’s the one who established Messiah, and
the company is locked in a stalemate without her authority. Scarlett’s ability is limited, and she won’t be
able to care for the company alone,” James said grimly.
Thea fell into silence.
The last thing she wanted at this moment was for Quincy to show up.
Thea believed she could help him.
However, James was not convinced her words contained anything other than empty promises.
James reached out and put his hands on Thea’s shoulders.
He looked her straight in the eye and said, “Thea, you’ve been with my grandfather for some time, so
you should know what happened a hundred years ago and why Centennial Corporation exists today.
They’re trying to accomplish what they couldn’t a hundred years ago. Do you know the consequences if
they’re able to successfully use Gu to control the world?”
Thea did hear Thomas mention something about it before.
“I really don’t know where Quincy and Tiara are. Believe me, James! I’ll inquire with the Four Great
Protectors and give you an answer tonight,” Thea raised her head and replied.
“Alright.”
James drew in a sharp breath.
It was plain to see that Thea knew where Quincy and Tiara was and was only trying to back up her
previous lies.
