”I have restored thirty percent of my strength.”
Callan said, “The main battlefield shouldn’t be in the Capital. The Capital is merely Lucjan’s battlefield. He must have obtained a core. Six months have passed, and he may have refined it. If he did, his strength must have reached even greater heights. I’ll return to the Capital for now. Meanwhile, you should remain in Cansington to refine the core.”
Though he had only regained thirty percent of his strength, this was power unrivaled even among top-notch grandmasters.
“Sure.” James nodded. He would be at ease if Callan returned to the Capital.
“That traitorous Lucjan…” Callan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I was the one who saved his life. If not for me, he would have perished in the battle of the Gu Sect. I didn’t expect him to resort to underhanded tactics and ambushed me. However, he underestimated me. Or else, I really would have died in his hands.”
James looked at him and asked, “What do you plan to do after returning to the Capital?”
After brief contemplation, Callan said, “Lucjan is ambitious and power-hungry, and his ultimate aim is the position of King. Only by becoming the King or propping up a puppet in his place can he finally set things in motion. For a century, the Gu Sect has embedded itself deeply within Sol’s establishment. I think I’ll first annihilate their remnants.”
Callan was open-minded. He knew that the Gu Sect should no longer exist and that they were only a threat to Sol.
“I’ll try and negotiate with Lucjan upon returning to the Capital. It would be best if I can continue to lead the Gu Sect. If not, I’ll have no choice but to annihilate them.”
James nodded slightly. He was glad that Callan was of the same opinion as him.
“We’re running out of time. I should take my leave.”
“I’ll ask the Blithe King to arrange a plane for you.”
“Sure.” Callan gladly accepted his offer.
Then, James began making arrangements for Callan’s return to the Capital. After Callan left, James could finally rest.
At Cynthia’s house…
