James said helplessly, “There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. I’ve already told you everything I can. Are you still
planning on keeping me here?”
Thea looked at him coldly and asked. “If you didn’t come here to save Danielle, then what’s your purpose for coming to the
Callahan Residence?”
James looked at Thea. After a brief thought, he said, “I came to see you.”
“Pftt!”
Lana immediately laughed and said, “You better stop with the nonsense, James. No one can save you if you get on Briana’s
nerves.”
James could sense the hostility coming from Thea, so he naturally stopped talking.
“Let him go, Briana.” Danielle suggested once more.
Thea replied firmly. “No. How can we let a suspicious man with an unknown background leave after he intrudes our home? I’ll
lock him up for now. I’m going to find the Ancestral Needle Master and bring him here to ask how they know each other.”
Danielle could not change Thea’s mind.
Lana glanced at James. Her expression conveyed she could not help him either.
James turned to Danielle, but she also had a helpless expression.
Thea shouted, “Guards!”
The door immediately swung open, and a few guards entered the room. They said respectfully, “What are your orders, Ms.
Briana?”
Thea ordered them. “Lock him up in the dungeon.”
Danielle could not stand her behavior and said, “You don’t have to lock him in the dungeon. Let him live in a separate house for
now. As long as he doesn’t leave the Callahan Residence, we can deal with him after finding the Ancestral Needle Master.”
After a brief thought, Thea said, “Alright, then.”
After that, James was taken away from the room.
Initially, he was going to be imprisoned in the dungeon. However, Danielle pleaded for him to be detained in a separate manor
within the Callahan Residence. A powerful formation was set up outside the courtyard, and he could not escape with his current
strength.
Therefore, James had no choice but to temporarily stay in the Callahan Residence.
Although Thea locked him up, he was not angry. His goal for traveling to the Primeval Age was to find Thea anyway.
Now that he got to see her, everything was worth it.
After being locked up inside the courtyard house, James was at ease.
On the other hand, Thea left the Callahan Residence after James was locked up. She planned to find the Ancestral Needle
Master herself and request for him to save Danielle.
The other Callahan members were curious about James’ identity, so they used their vast intelligence networks to inquire about
James.
Previously, James made a name for himself in the Katun Realm.
The Katun Realm was relatively far from the Human Realm, and the news about him had not yet reached the Human Realm.
Despite that, the Callahans learned about his deeds in the Katun Realm after digging around.
In the courtyard where James was detained, he sat in a lotus position and stared into the distance pensively.
At that moment, the courtyard gate opened, and a beautiful woman wearing a green dress walked inside the courtyard. She
elegantly approached James with a beautiful smile.
“I didn’t expect you to be a disciple of the Ancestral Sword God.”
James looked at the woman standing in front of him. It was none other than Lana.
He touched his nose and smiled at her. “I didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly.”
“Where’s the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword? Let me have a look.”
The Callahans had inquired about James’ deeds in the Katun Realm and learned that he had publicly brandished the Crepe
Myrtle Divine Sword. Moreover, he had comprehended the Five Great Paths from the Sacred Blossom and cultivated their
respective Ousias.
Although they were just rumors, Lana believed in them.
