Lucjan approached Thea with a smile. He looked at her with a friendly expression and made a welcoming gesture, saying, “Thea, please come inside.”
Since she had decided to come, she was not afraid.
She stepped right into the villa’s living room.
Thea looked at Lucjan and asked coldly, “What about James? Where is he?”
Lucjan snapped his fingers and ordered, “Serve the tea.”
Soon, the tea was served.
However, Thea did not drink it.
She knew the person in front of her was the deputy leader of the faction of the Gu Sect. He was also a member of the Owens, proficient in Gu venom. She suspected the tea had been poisoned with Gu venom.
“I’m asking you, where is James?”
Lucjan replied, “The Dragon King has gone out to run some errands. He’s killed the Mount Thunder Sect’s leader and is now being hunted down by the sect. He was worried for your safety and ordered me to get some people to bring you here to protect you. After he finishes his business, he’ll be back.”
“Don’t try to fool me. Do you think I don’t know that you forced James to consume poison? You’re the one who forced James to do everything.”
Lucjan waved his hand and said, “That's not right, Thea. I’ve already given James the antidote. Plus, he knew there would be no turning back if he killed the Mount Thunder Sect’s leader. He has fully joined our side.
“James knows he won’t be the Dragon King nor the Emperor if he returns. However, we have a way to let him join the political circle to run for King in next year’s election. He’ll be the King of Sol, ruling above tens of thousands of people, and you’ll be his queen, the mother of the country.”
Thea did not believe any of Lucjan’s nonsense.
She firmly believed that James was forced to take action.
“Where’s James? I must see him now.”
“Alright, I’ll send someone to escort you there.”
Lucjan did not refuse and ordered, “Bring her to see James.”
“Understood.” His subordinates nodded.
Then, they led Thea and left.
