Chapter 1177
The snow fell heavily, and a blanket of snow quickly covered up the blood stains on the snow.
James waited patiently.
Hours passed, and the sky was dark.
However, the second batch of martial artists had yet to arrive.
Instead, Thea showed up.
Lucjan had sent several men to escort Thea to James.
Thea arrived at Romsdalen Valley. Although it was nighttime, she could immediately spot James in the vast, white surroundings,
sitting on a rock in the distance. At the same time, she also noticed the pair of beautiful twins standing behind James.
Immediately, jealousy rose in her heart.
‘Why are other women by James’ side?
‘Who are these women?
‘What's their relationship with James?‘ Three consecutive questions flashed in her heart.
James also noticed Thea and several of Lucjan’s subordinates coming from the distance. Immediately, his brows furrowed as he
looked at them approaching.
Thea arrived in front of him shortly.
“James...”
James stood up calmly and looked at Thea standing in front of him.
Thea was dressed in a thick winter coat, and snow had accumulated on her hair. Her face was red, and her warm breath
condensed in the air.
“Aren't you supposed to be in Cansington? Why are you here? Why did you show up here?”
“Honey...” Thea threw herself onto James, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
“I-I heard you killed the Mount Thunder Sect's leader. Is that true? What’s going on? Did they force you to do it?”
James was unable to explain the situation under such circumstances. He never expected Thea to show up.
She was only going to get in the way.
He let go of Thea and put his hands on her shoulders, saying firmly, “Thea, listen to me. Leave this place and go back to
Cansington.”
“Honey, tell me what’s going on. Lucjan said you joined the Gu Sect and that you're helping him now. Tell me it’s not true.” Thea
looked at James anxiously.
“Quincy said that you were forced to consume poison. That's true, right? Let’s leave this place and return to Cansington to find a
way to detoxify the poison.”
“It's useless. I’ve already taken the antidote.” James said gently, “Thea, I can’t go back anymore. I’ve killed the Mount Thunder
Sect’s leader and have fallen out with the righteous faction. The Mount Thunder Sect is one of the King's prominent supporters.
He isn’t going to accept me if I return. I won’t be the Dragon King nor the Emperor. I'm going to be killed, so I don't have a
choice...
“If I don’t join the Gu Sect, you and the Callahans will be dragged into this. Do you understand?
“I can only protect you guys by joining them. They’re the only ones who can protect you right now.” James ‘words were like a bolt
from the blue to Thea.
In shock, she froze in place. She did not believe the person in front of her was James.
To her, James had always been one full of justice.He was the War God and Sol's hero.
James would never kill innocent people to live.
“Honey, this isn't real. Hurry up and tell me it isn't true!”
James glanced at the people that had escorted Thea there and said coldly, “Bring Thea back and tell Lucjan to send her back to
Cansington safely. If anything happens to her, my cooperation with him is over.”
“Ms. Thea, let’s go. Please come with us.” Lucjan’s subordinate urged her.
Bryce walked over with a smile and said, “Ms. Thea, don’t worry. After James finishes his task after the conference, he'll return to
Cansington to look for you. Then, you can be together, and no one will separate you anymore.”
“James...” Thea looked at James with teary eyes. Her tears rolled down her cheeks.
She cried and roared, “I've misjudged you, James! I never expected you to be someone like this...”
Then, she turned around and ran away, covering her mouth.
James felt hurt by her words, but he had no choice.
He said coldly, “Why are you guys still standing here? Hurry up and chase after her. Be sure to send her back to Cansington
safely. Otherwise...”
Bryce also ordered, “Quickly go after her.”
