Chapter 4745
Parthias’ voice rumbled like thunder, causing James’ ears to buzz.
It took him a while to recollect himself.
James turned around and looked at Parthias, who had already stood up.
Parthias said coldly, "Wael went through great efforts to make you the Head of Tempris.Now that you’ve come in contact with the
Malvada Sect, have you also been bewitched by them?"
James showed no fear in the face of Verdett House's Great Elder.
He boldly questioned, "Nobody is to blame for the former Headmaster of Verde Academy.Yet, the powerhouses of the Verde
Academy's Five Houses united to destroy the Immortal Sect."
Parthias retorted, "Everybody knows that the Immortal Sect is evil.The Immortal Sect’s Leader was injured, and it was the best
time to obliterate them.After the biggest problem was gone, it was much easier to deal with the smaller forces under them."
James responded, "Is that so? Were there really no selfish motives? Wasn't it to avenge the former Headmaster of Verde
Academy? Then what makes the Verde Academy so different from a corrupted sect? The Immortal Sect restrained these
corrupted sects, which prevented them from doing anything overboard.Without them, the Verde District would've been in
complete chaos."
Faced with James’ questioning, Parthias was livid.
He replied coldly, "Return to Tempris House and reflect on yourself.If you can’t even distinguish bad from good, you've no right to
be the Head of Tempris."
James said coldly, "I don't really care about the position.If not for my promise to Sir Wael, I wouldn't want to stay in the Verde
Academy, which only preaches righteousness but doesn't practice it."
After speaking, James’ disappeared from sight.He returned to the Tempris House and entered a manor.He picked up the tea on
the table and gulped it down.
Then, he grumbled, "I'm so pissed."
Waleria, Saachi, and Wynton were gathered in the manor.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Waleria asked curiously, "What is it? Didn’t you go to report the situation?"
James took a deep breath to calm down.
Then, he replied, "I heard from Parthias that Zula was indeed a disciple from Tempris House, and she’s Wael’s sister.It seems
she was telling us the truth.However, Parthias insists Zula was tempted by corrupted arts and bewitched."
Waleria attempted to comfort him for the first time, saying, "Forget it.There’s no need to be mad over it.They were in different
circumstances.You can only see things so clearly because you're a bystander.It’s hard to really determine what's right in their
positions."
Saachi also agreed, saying, "She's right.Just imagine someone killed your wife.Wouldn't you want to avenge her? So, wouldn't
that make the person who killed her your enemy?"
Wynton nodded and said, "Nobody can clearly define right and wrong.Everyone just simply has different circumstances."
James calmed down after hearing their words.
Waleria crossed her legs and said lazily, "In an age where strength is everything, who really cares about right and wrong? The
strong get the final say.Anyway, it’s best you spend your effort thinking about what to do next."
James fell into thought.
After a while, he said, "From a bystander’s perspective, I agree with Zula.She had to choose between doing the right thing and
her sect back then.It must've taken a lot of courage to make the decision.Since she’s from Tempris House, I’d like to be able to
come back."
"I don't think that’s possible."
"Me too."
"You're too naive, James.A senior disciple of Tempris House was executed just because he was suspected of conspiring with
Zula.It's almost impossible to bring her back here."Saachi, Wynton, and Waleria were against the idea.
"I'll have to try to know.The worst outcome is me having to leave Tempris House," James said nonchalantly.
Although Wael never told him about the incident’s details, he must have regretted it all these years.
James was confident Wael would support his decision.
"Do as you please.I'll be heading into seclusion."
Waleria left a few words and disappeared from the manor.
The next moment, she had returned to her own spiritual mountain.Then, she set up a time formation and began to cultivate.
