Chapter 1161
Only after Quincy and the rest had been sent back to Cansington did James feel slightly more relaxed.
He believed that Lucjan would no longer threaten him with the lives of others since he had alreadyconsumed the Soul Eating
Pill.
Lucjan too was incredibly confident that James would continue to work for him.
Lucjan stared at James in the villa with admiration and said, "I really like you, James. You're a very raregem and you've achieved such great strength at a young age. In a few more decades, you'll bepractically invincible. With you by my side, well be able to usher in a new era of unprecedentedprosperity!”
James asked calmly, "I have no idea what the Gu Sect's objective is. Would you care to enlighten meabout it?"
“Is that so?”
Lucjan looked at James and replied with a smile, "Most people chase strength and power throughouttheir lives. It's simply human nature to be greedy and stand at the top of the world. If it weren't, therewouldn't have been so many wars in the past.”
"Are you guys trying to conquer the world?" James squinted at Lucjan.
"Haha!"
Lucjan smiled and did not bother to explain.
"James, you won't regret becoming one of my men. I plan to kill the Supreme Leader during the MountThunder Conference and a few other prominent figures of the Gu Sect to take over the Mount ThunderSect.
When the time comes, you'll be the deputy captain only below me but above tens of thousands ofpeople.”
James smiled lightly, "I've already achieved what you're offering me, so why should I take the risk?"novelbin
"You killed Jackson and offended Mount Thunder Sect, Mr. Lee, and the King. They're not goingoverlook your actions any longer."
Speaking of Mr. Lee, James’ curiosity was piqued, and he could not help asking, "Who exactly is Mr.Lee?"
James knew about his existence and that he had been working with the King since long ago.
30 years ago, he was the person that orchestrated everything and the cause of countless events thatgave the current King the power he had. Despite having known about him for so long, he was stillclueless about Mr. Lee’s real identity and background let alone know about his motives.
Lucjan continued to smile at James as he spoke candidly "He's a powerful martial artist and also anoutstanding politician and tactician. For decades, he's always hidden behind the scenes and assistedthe King in rapidly developing Sol. As for his identity..."
Lucjan paused for a while and continued. "Back then, there were four powerful men that stood with theKing. They were called
Sky, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. However, these brilliant men were already more than a hundred yearsold back then. They're probably long dead now.
"As for Mr. Lee, he was a high-achieving apprentice nicknamed the Sky Saint and had inherited Sky'smartial techniques. His strength is unknown since he rarely involves himself in fights. However, sinceSky had favored him, he's definitely someone who has great potential. Dozens of years have passedsince then, so he definitely lies somewhere around the rank of a seventh-rank grandmaster. I don'tthink he has reached the eighth rank yet since breaking into that rank is astoundingly difficult.”
Lucjan gave James a thorough explanation of Mr. Lee's background. He was the disciple of the leaderof the four brilliant men that supported the King. His full name was Asher Lee.
James listened carefully.
Although he had a brief understanding of the past events, he did not have all the details on the peoplewho were involved.
All he knew was that the former Great Grandmaster was Mount Thunder Sect's leader and about thehead of the Mavericks, Callan Maverick.
As for the others, he had never heard of them before.
Lucjan suddenly changed the topic and asked, "James, you're a soldier, so you should know that you'llget beaten up if you fall behind. Let me ask you a question. Let's pretend that Sol has been at war for along time, and you possess military power. After finally winning the war, many civilians suffered injuries,and countless lives were lost. Would you still seize the chance to destroy the enemy's country andavenge the fallen soldiers and civilians?"
James was taken aback by his question.
He never expected such a question from Lucjan.
After thinking about it for a while, James did not have a definite answer.
If he was in the Southern Plains and had dealt with an enemy invasion that led to countless casualties,he would definitely send troops to attack the enemy and avenge them.
An enemy that offended Sol would have to be punished no matter how far away they were.
This was the basic principle of a soldier.
A soldier's duty was to defend their country.
