James slept soundly that night.
For the next two days, he remained inside the room and did not wander about outside.
In the blink of an eye, the Mount Thunder Conference was about to begin.
On the day before the Conference…
At the mountain gate of the Mount Thunder Sect…
Looking at Thea, James said, “Thea, tomorrow’s the Conference. Leave now and return to Cansington.”
Thea was reluctant to leave. She was not afraid to die and wanted to stay by James’ side. However, she knew that James’ heart would not be at ease if she remained.
“Be careful, alright? Remember to not act recklessly. I’ll be waiting for you back in Cansington.”
“I understand. Now, go.” James waved.
Thea hugged James tightly.
“Take care, Darling.”
Then, she turned to leave.
James remained rooted to the spot. As he watched Thea leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. From afar, a woman was silently observing the situation.
Only after did Thea leave did she walk over to James and said smilingly, “You’re letting her leave just like that?”
James turned and glanced at Maxine. “Is something the matter?”
“Nothing much. I was just bored and out taking a stroll when I just so happened to come across you.” Glancing at James, Maxine said smilingly, “I see that you have recovered. However, with the commencement of the conference, many will be after your life. In your current condition, you won’t be able to last for long.”
“This is none of your concern.”
James ended the conversation abruptly. After all, Aphrodite and Venus were still tailing him. He turned to leave.
