“Pll see him.
Why wouldn’t I? James grinned, then turned to Clotilde and replied, “Lead the way.” “Follow me.” Clotilde walked ahead.
James followed behind her and soon arrived at the Yefteros’ main mountain.
Then, he entered their main hall, where a crowd had already gathered.
Besides a few elders of the Yefteros, Yuvin, and Thea were also present.
James scanned the powerhouses in the hall, then finally rested his gaze on Halianor.
He clasped his hands and said respectfully, “ Forty-nine has come to see you, Sir Halianor.” Halianor waved his hand and said,
“There’s no need for such formalities.” James asked calmly, “Is there a reason you summoned me?” Halianor stroked his white
beard and said while smiling, “You're a talented cultivator.
I know you’ re from the Central Plane outside of the Dark World and lack support.
Our race is willing to take you in and train you.
If you join us, you’ll be able to learn the best skills that exist.” James had already guessed the reason Halianor wanted to see
him.
Unfortunately, he had no intentions of joining the Yefteros.
He replied nonchalantly, “I’m already used to living in the wild.
I don’t want to be restricted by rules, so I have no intention of joining any forces.” “Young man, I urge you to think about it again.
We’re the leaders of the Four Ancient Races.
Joining us will guarantee rapid growth,” Halianor persuaded him.
James thought about it for a while, then rested his eyes on Thea.
He said smilingly, “I heard the Thea from the Mevryees will marry into the Yefteros, right? She must be Thea Mabins, right?”
“That's right.” Halianor nodded.
James said, “I can consider joining the Yefteros if you let Thea marry me instead.” Thea gently bit down her lips.
Halianor’s face darkened, and he said, “Impossible! Thea has a Tenebrous Body and will greatly help our Grand Priest.
You can state another request.
I'll agree to anything else except this one.” “Then there’s nothing more to discuss.” James waved his sleeves and turned to leave
under the countless gazes.
Halianor clenched his fists, causing veins to bulge.
Since ancient times, nobody dared to disobey the Yefteros.
James was the first exception.
At that moment, a murderous intent rose in Halianor’s heart.
However, he did not make a move.
After James left the hall, he relaxed his clenched fists.
“That’s all.
Everyone’s dismissed.” Halianor waved his hand, stood up, and left.
James, on the other hand, was walking away nervously.
He was worried the Yefteros would try to kill him.
After finally leaving the main hall, he sighed in relief.
‘Since you guys didn’t kill me, the next time I come here, I’ll be here to snatch Thea back!’ James turned around and looked into
the hall, meeting with Thea’s eyes.
He shifted his gaze to the plaque in front of the Yefteros’ main hall.
“Ha, the Yefteros...” James sneered, then left the Yefteros’ main mountain.
He appeared outside the Yefteros’ spiritual mountain and reunited with his companions.
Latrusse and Lemuel were relieved to see James return safely.
