The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1432
After being on a ten-hour flight, James finally arrived back in the Capital in Sol.
It was morning when he reached the Capital.
He had a meeting in the military region after he returned to Sol, according to his schedule.
He was required to speak at the meeting and provide a summary of what he had learned at the military exchange conference
between the two countries.
However, he did not have the luxury of time for that. He immediately left it to Henry to deal with it instead.
Then continued on his way to Thea's residence without pausing.
Thea had also calculated the exact time and knew when James would return.
When James arrived at Thea's residence, the gate to the courtyard was unlocked.
He walked straight inside.
In the courtyard, a tall, beautiful woman in a slim-fitting dress could be seen.
She was trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a pair of scissors in her hand.
It was indeed Thea.
When Thea noticed James had entered, she could not help but put down the scissors and walk over.
She wrapped her arms around James' neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Her pretty face was lit up with a sweet smile. "Honey, you should've told me you were coming back.
Then I would’ve personally prepared a meal for you as a welcome. Was it a success at Durandal?" she asked.
Was the effort this time successful?
James was being hugged.

He could smell the scent on Thea's body, and he furrowed his brows.
'This scent... Why is it different?*
"Is there any perfume on you, Thea? Why haven't I ever smelled this perfume before?
It seems to be different from the perfume you were wearing previously, huh?"
"Yeah." Thea said with a smile, "I haven't been using the one that I used before.
Maxine recommended this to me. I thought it was pretty nice, so I’m using it.
Besides, I’ve been using it for months. You didn’t notice its scent before?"
Thea, who had been smiling, suddenly looked displeased.
"James, we spent a few days together before you left.
We were even intimate on a few occasions.
I can't believe you don't even remember my scent."
As Thea said that, James' memory became a little hazy. 1
He honestly could not recall the scent that was on Thea's body when he had not yet left the Capital.
He had not bothered to pay close attention to it either.
If it were not for his suspicions about the identity of the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader, he would not have given it a second
thought.
"I have some questions for you. Let’s go inside and talk."
James pulled Thea along and led her into the house.
Thea's chest tightened. She knew exactly what James wanted to ask.
Nonetheless, she pretended to be surprised.
Once they entered the house, James sat on a sofa.

Thea, on the other hand, poured a glass of warm water for James.
After giving it to him, she sat to the side and asked, 'What’s the matter, Honey?
What do you want to ask me?"
'Where's your Malevolent Sword, by the way?" James looked at Thea.
"Ah, that's..." Thea smiled and said, 'You said that the Malevolent Sword is an evil thing, didn't you, Honey? I already threw it
away."
'You threw it away?"
James was stunned.
This was too much of a coincidence.
He remembered seeing the Malevolent Sword after arriving in the Capital.
Why did Thea dispose of it during his trip to Durandal and back?
Was there any chance that the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader saw her when she was throwing it away?
"Actually, I didn't throw it away." Thea gently touched her silky black hair which was cascading down the front of her chest.
"When Maxine visited me, she warned me that the sword was extremely evil.
She requested that I give it to her so that she can deal with it.
I gave it to her because I didn't think I would use it much if I kept it.
Maxine then informed me that she had discarded the sword. As to where she left it, I'm not sure either."
As she said this, she gave James a strange look.
"Honey, what’s the matter? Why are you suddenly asking about the Malevolent Sword?
Do you want me to call Maxine and have her come over to tell you where the Malevolent Sword was left?"

James took Thea’s hand.
A powerful True Energy formed in his palms and entered Thea’s body.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Thea immediately started to panic.
James was assessing Thea's power.
Through his assessment, he discovered that Thea's True Energy was indeed very powerful right now.
He learned that Thea had gained access to all of the meridians throughout her body and had risen to the fifth rank.
There were even indications of her almost reaching the sixth rank.
