The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1651
Maxine continued.
"Shallow love is possessive.Real love is about letting go.Leave James and find a secluded place to spend the rest of your
life.You’ll be dead in a few years anyway, and James would surely have already gotten over you by then."
"Is this the reason you’ve come to see me?" Thea looked at Maxine calmly and replied quietly.
"Yes."
Maxine did not deny it.
"I don’t want to see James give up everything for your sake or run around trying to save you.
"You’re smart, so you should know what’s the best choice to make."
After Maxine finished speaking, she stood up and made her way out.
When she reached the gate, Thea suddenly called out to her, "Wait."
Maxine turned around and looked at Thea, who was standing.
Thea burst into tears.
Crystal-clear teardrops spilled out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
It had always been her dream to grow old together with James.
Now, she knew that dream was all but impossible.She only had a few years left.
Originally, she simply wanted to give James a child with the time she had left.
However, Maxine’s words had swayed her.She did not want James to give up everything now.
At the same time, she did not want to let him go.She could not imagine a life without James in the future.
Despite this, she had no other choice.

She walked toward Maxine, held her hand, and said tearily, "I know you’re thinking of James.I’ve also considered keeping away
from him, but I simply couldn’t make up my mind.After hearing what you had to say, I’ve decided to leave and find a secluded
place to spend my remaining years alone.After I'm gone, please take good care of James."
Countless memories of her with James flashed across Thea’s mind.
She remembered when she first reunited with James.
At that time, she was disfigured and was seen as the misfit of Cansington that everyone despised.
James was not disgusted by her looks and even took her hand, vowing, "From now on, I’ll give you the whole world."
She recalled James fetching her to and from work on his electric motorcycle daily while she worked in Eternality.She also
remembered using James’ Crucifier to dry her underwear.
Although there were many misunderstandings in the past, they contained the best memories of her life.
Thinking of them, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Maxine remained silent.
Thea let go of Maxine’s hand and trudged back into the house.
Maxine stood at the gate and watched Thea enter the house.
When she saw this, she felt a guilty pang in her heart for what she just did.
However, she felt it was the right thing to do.
Thea did not have much longer to live.
Since Thea was going to die, she should not become a burden to James.
If she were Thea, she would have made the same choice.
Maxine left.
Thea left a letter for James and left the Capital with the Malovalent Sword.

Meanwhile, James was already on his way back home.
He brought back the Novenary Golden Pills from King Quavon’s Mausoleum.
The situation in the Capital had stabilized, and the King would be able to resolve the aftermath of the whole situation.
As such, he did not want to involve himself further in the Capital’s affairs.
James planned to resign from his position after returning to the Capital and take Thea with him to live a life in seclusion together.
He had the Novenary Golden Pills, which could allow one to enter the ninth rank.
He wanted to give them to Thea so she could step into the ninth rank.
There was a chance that her blood would be able to restore itself after entering the legendary realm.
Even if it did not work, he still wanted to live a peaceful life with Thea, away from the troubles of the mundane world.
At the same time, he could concentrate on his cultivation and prepare to slay the dragon to acquire its blood to save Thea.
He had already thought of everything and returned to the Capital full of expectations.
