Chapter 1038
A surge of powerful force jolted Gloom, forcing his body seven to eight meters backward.His arms weretingly and numb.
On them, blue veins were bulging.He had a shocked expression on his face.
"You...Your strength?"
James took in his True Energy and glanced at Gloom.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to sneak up on me or is this just a test?" he said casually.
Gloom circulated his energy, and the pain in his arms started to fade gradually.He then put his handsbehind his back, stared at James, and slowly approached him.He only smiled and spoke when hefinally stood in front of James.
"I was curious as to what rank your cultivation base had advanced to.As far as I can tell, you must havehad some exciting adventures recently.Could it be that you’ve got Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edgeall figured out now?"
Even though Gloom was grinning, the shock and astonishment he felt had not subsided.His cultivationbase was at the fifth rank.
Although his strength would not be regarded as invincible or unmatched, he was undoubtedly verypowerful in situations where the older generation did not intervene.
However, he was forced back when his palm struck James’ just now.He felt a tingling and numbness inhis jolted arms.
The energy and blood in his body were erratic.
James, on the other hand, stood perfectly still and did not even flinch.It proved that James' strengthhad already surpassed his.
Phew! Above the fifth rank? He found that hard to believe.
How did James' strength grow to be so powerful in such a short period of time? Did he fully understandMoonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge, or did his strength increase exponentially as a result of somefortunate encounter? James gave a faint smile and said, "Lucky for me.I was injured before at theCadens' Mansion.While I was treating my injury, I gained access to the Governor and Conceptionvessels, as well as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians with the help of Tobias’ True Energy.I've beenputting a lot of effort into cultivating lately, so my True Energy has grown."
"Really?"
There was apparent disbelief on Gloom’s face.
James would not have had such a strong cultivation base even if he had gained access to theGovernor and Conception vessels, as well as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Nevertheless, James did not tell, so he would not ask any further questions.He made a welcominggesture with his hand.
"Go ahead."
James turned around and left.
Gloom, however, shook his hands about while clenching his teeth and grimacing in pain.
"That hurts so bad."
In a luxurious living room within Peace Mansion...novelbin
The King of Sol was wearing a typical shirt and sitting on the sofa.He had a newspaper in his handsand was reading it intently.
When James walked over, he set down the newspaper he was holding and pointed to the sofa acrossfrom him.
"Sit."
James sat down.
As soon as he sat, a cigarette was tossed in his direction.He caught it, took a lighter from the table, andlit it.
The King of Sol asked, "Are you visiting the Capital this time for a specific reason?"
"Actually, it's nothing major.I’m just here to ask about Mr.Gabriel.He sent Madelyn Gabriel toCansington, which caused me a lot of trouble," James said casually as he smoked the cigarette.
"Oh, really?"
The King looked surprised.
James gave him a glance and said, "Don’t tell me you didn’t know that.The intelligence network youcontrol as the King of Sol is quite frightening.I believe you wouldn't miss anything that occurs in Sol."
"you're flattering me." The King of Sol gave a faint smile.
"What history does Mr.Gabriel have?" James said as his expression darkened, "I’m planning to kill himwith the Blade of Justice."
The King of Sol's expression changed slightly upon hearing him.
"That's quite a crazy plan you have there," he said soon after, smiling.
Gloom, who had come over to stand behind the King of Sol, was equally astounded.He never expectedJames to have such a thought.
Kill Mr.Gabriel?
‘If it were possible to kill him, the King wouldn’t have waited until now"
"That’s why I need detailed information about Mr.Gabriel," James said, leaning back on the sofa withhis legs crossed.
When the King of Sol heard that, he became deeply absorbed in his thoughts.
Gloom leaned down by his ear and spoke a few words in a whisper.
The King's face changed from being astonished to perplexed and finally to a contented smile.
Soon after, he said while smiling, "Dragon King, you want to kill Mr.Gabriel.I support thatwholeheartedly, but I won't offer you any assistance.
Whatever happens, you'll have to deal with it on your own."
James furrowed his brows and said, "What could possibly happen? Don't keep me guessing.Tell meeverything about Mr.Gabriel."
