Chapter 1547
“Grandpa, what on earth are you trying to do?”
James could not understand.
He could never figure out what Thomas was trying to accomplish.
Thomas had always been secretive.
He has kept James in the dark about many matters.
Where exactly was his family?
Why had they not appeared after it has been so long?
“Let’s talk while seated.”
Thomas waved his hand casually, and the dust that coated a large rock on the ground was swept awayinstantly.
He sat down, took out a cigarette, and lit it. Then, he threw it to James.
James caught it and sat down opposite him.
Thomas lit another cigarette and said, “I’m doing all this so our family can prosper till the end of time.”
James looked at Thomas as he waited for an explanation.
Thomas continued. “My Boy, have you heard of dragons?”
James nodded lightly and said, “Yeah. Isn’t the dragon the overseer of the Twelve Zodiacs? It’s amythical creature, right?”
Thomas shook his head gently and said, “Dragons aren’t simply mythical creatures. They really doexist. Unfortunately, they’re on the brink of extinction. Right now, there’s only one dragon left on earth.My goal is to slay that dragon.”novelbin
“Dragon parts have a value that’s beyond compare.
“Its blood alone was able to create the Blood Race.”
Thomas began to elaborate on the secrets behind the Blood Race.
James was taken aback by what he heard.
He was stunned by Thomas‘ stories and found it hard to believe that these things happened more thana thousand years ago. This was especially true for the story about the origin of the Blood Race.
“Do you know the lifespan of a member of the Blood Race?”
James shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Thomas said, “The life expectancy of the Blood Race is three times that of ordinary humans. Even ifthey don’t cultivate, they can live for more than one or two centuries.
“Members of the Blood Race that cultivate are able to live much longer. According to my knowledge,there are people from the Blood Race who have lived for five centuries.”
“Is this all true?”
James‘ mouth hung open in amazement.
“I’m only telling you true facts. The Blood Race is the more fearsome clan in this world, so I have toproceed with my plans with utmost caution. I can’t risk attracting the attention of powerhouses of theBlood Race. Otherwise, the ancient martial world of Sol might be wiped out in minutes. However…”Thomas continued in a more determined tone. “This situation will change very soon. It won’t be longbefore the second dragon slaying happens. Among all the parts, Dragon Essence is the most valuabletreasure as it can prolong the lifespan of a regular human and even make them immortal.”
Thomas‘ face lit up with excitement as he spoke passionately.
James listened attentively but did not say a word.
He was at a loss for words, unsure whether his grandfather was doing the right thing.
In the time he has known him, James‘ grandfather had never really done anything harmful nor did hekill innocent people. Thus, he found it hard to condemn his grandfather.
Conversely, it was also problematic to say that Thomas was in the right since he spent many yearsscheming in the shadows to achieve his goals.
Thomas stood up after he had finished talking. “I’ve already told you what I can. Now you know whatI’m trying to achieve. I’m not expecting you to offer your help as you’re not strong enough to assist meas you are right now.
“Although my current strength isn’t enough to slay a dragon, I’ll definitely be able to do it soon enough.Many people have gotten their hands on the Spirit Turtle’s core. In about 10 to 20 years time, there willdefinitely be more than one person that is able to enter the ninth rank.
“When that time comes, I’ll make use of the Blood Race to slay the dragon. I don’t expect you to help,but I just hope you don’t stand in my way.
“I know your goal has always been to restore peace to Sol.
“I’ve always been helping you and will always help you. Whether in the past, right now, or in the future.
“You’re my grandson, and we have the same blood running through our veins. I’ve never thought ofharming you.
“The same goes for Thea. I never intended for her to get hurt. I believe a person with love andrighteousness in their heart will never change, regardless of external factors.
After Thomas finished speaking, he departed.
He took a few steps and disappeared from James‘ sight.
