Chapter 4298
James did feel the urge to kill when he sensed that Jethro knew his true identity.
However, Jethro’s behavior made that urge fade away.
He temporarily settled down and stayed with the Angel Race.
However, there was still a lingering concern in his heart. If Jethro were to break his trust and reveal his identity, it would be a
monumental disaster for him and the Human Race. He pondered on how to keep the Angel Race bound to him.
Jethro left quickly and returned with equal haste, reappearing in less than a day.
“Great Elder, I have already conveyed your message to Grand Patriarch Louis, and he has agreed to meet with you regarding
your interest in the Boundless Rank. Shall we go now, or would you like to wait a little longer?” Jethro respectfully informed
James.
“Not in a hurry for now.” James waved his hand slightly, He looked at Jethro and said, “Patriarch Amani, I still have concerns.
You need to give me some reassurance so I can have peace of mind. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for me to rest easy.”
Jethro, of course, understood what James was referring to.
He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
James tapped his fingers gently on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, “Here’s the deal. Once I return to my race, I will
personally bring a betrothal gift to the Angel Race and marry Princess Leilani. Only when I have Leilani by my side will I feel
peace of mind.”
Upon hearing these words, a solemn expression immediately appeared on Jethro’s face.
He knew that James was using his daughter as leverage. His daughter’s life would be at stake if he were to let this matter be
exposed.
“Okay,” Jethro reluctantly agreed.
After contemplating for a moment, Jethro said, “I agree, but you need to personally discuss this matter with Leilani. If she has no
objections, you’re free to come and marry her at anytime.”
James felt relieved with Jethro’s assurance.
“Let’s go. Let’s meet Louis,” James said, standing up with a smile on his face.
‘This way, please,” Jethro gestured, inviting James to follow.
Later, he led James to a spiritual mountain in the region where the Angel Race resided.
This spiritual mountain was incredibly tall, reaching up to a light-year in height.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could not see the end of its peak with the naked eye, only the magnificence and
grandeur of the spiritual mountain could be observed.
“Go ahead, Wyot. Go up the mountain on your own. The Grand Patriarch is waiting for you at the summit. I won’t accompany
you,” said Jethro.
“Alright.” nodded James. Then, he looked at Jethro and said, “You go and talk to Leilani first. I don’t want her to refuse when the
time comes and create any unpleasantness.” After speaking, James’ body flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Once he vanished, the smile on Jethro’s face disappeared, and his expression turned solemn.
Soon, he let out a helpless sigh and left the area.
Since the mountain was the height of one light-year, James traversed it in an instant. In a blink of an eye, he appeared at the top
of the mountain.
At the summit of this spiritual mountain, a Purple Bamboo Grove stood, and there was a humble bamboo hut nestled within it.
James immediately sensed the presence of a formation as he arrived outside the Purple Bamboo Grove.
“I haven’t moved around the Greater Realms for quite some time. I never expected a change of leadership in the Doom Race,”
said a slightly weathered voice from deep within the Purple Bamboo Grove.
“I was surprised when Jethro informed me, and I’m interested in knowing the new Great Elder of the Doom Race. There’s a
formation here. If you can break through the formation and enter, you’ll have the qualification to discuss the Boundless Rank with
me. However, if you can’t break it, please leave,” said the voice.
James could not help but smile upon hearing these words. He had gained deep insights into the Primal Mantra and had a
profound understanding of inscriptions. He believed he could decipher and break any formation.
However, he could not help but furrow his brows as he carefully examined the formation before him.
