Only after Quincy and the rest had been sent back to Cansington did James feel slightly more relaxed.
He believed that Lucjan would no longer threaten him with the lives of others since he had already consumed the Soul Eating Pill.
Lucjan too was incredibly confident that James would continue to work for him.
Lucjan stared at James in the villa with admiration and said, “I really like you, James. You’re a very rare gem and you’ve achieved such great strength at a young age. In a few more decades, you’ll be practically invincible. With you by my side, we’ll be able to usher in a new era of unprecedented prospierity!”
James asked calmly, “I have no idea what the Gu Sect’s objective is. Would you care to enlighten me about it?”
“Is that so?”
Lucjan looked at James and replied with a smile, “Most people chase strength and power throughout their lives. It’s simply human nature to be greedy and stand at the top of the world. If it weren’t, there wouldn’t have been so many wars in the past.”
“Are you guys trying to conquer the world?” James squinted at Lucjan.
“Haha!”
Lucjan smiled and did not bother to explain.
“James, you won’t regret becoming one of my men. I plan to kill the Supreme Leader during the Mount Thunder Conference and a few other prominent figures of the Gu Sect to take over the Mount Thunder Sect. When the time comes, you’ll be the deputy captain only below me but above tens of thousands of people.”
James smiled lightly, “I’ve already achieved what you’re offering me, so why should I take the risk?”
“You killed Jackson and offended Mount Thunder Sect, Mr. Lee, and the King. They’re not going overlook your actions any longer.”
Speaking of Mr. Lee, James' curiosity was piqued, and he could not help asking, “Who exactly is Mr. Lee?”
James knew about his existence and that he had been working with the King since long ago.
30 years ago, he was the person that orchestrated everything and the cause of countless events tha tgave the current King the power he had.
Despite having known about him for so long, he was still clueless about Mr. Lee’s real identity and background let alone know about his motives.
Lucjan continued to smile at James as he spoke candidly “He’s a powerful martial artist and also an outstanding politician and tactician. For decades, he’s always hidden behind the scenes and assisted the King in rapidly developing Sol. As for his identity…”
