Delilah’s whereabouts were still unknown.
James needed to personally head to Eyrothia.
Her stepfather was the boss of Blue Tech Corporation and played an important role in the Tuckson family incident.
The few people present knew about the incident and understood why James had to go to Eyrothia.
Thea looked at him with concern in her eyes and asked, “How long are you going to stay there?”
James shook his head and gave a vague response, “I don’t know. If things go well, I’ll be back in a few days. Otherwise, it’ll probably take quite a long time to sort out. According to my estimations, I should be back within a month.”
He looked at the few people in the room and said, “I’ll need you guys to help me manage the state of affairs in the Capital. We can’t afford for it to go haywire. Maxine, you’re the head of the Cadens and have a sizeable influence in the ancient martial world. During my absence, I need you to protect Thea and Quincy. Ensure nothing happens to them.”
Maxine pouted.
Protect Thea?
Does Thea even still need protection?
It would all work out fine as long as Thea stayed put and did not cause trouble for the rest.
Maxine still agreed despite her internal reservations, “Alright. I’ll look out for them.”
“Also…”
James continued, raising his finger as if he had remembered something. “Callan is still in closed-door meditation in the Capital. If you encounter something you can’t solve alone, go to him for help. I’ll inform him before I leave and ask him to keep an eye out during this period.”
“Alright.”
Everyone present agreed to the plan.
After giving out instructions, James let out a huge sigh of relief.
“Anyway, I can’t waste any more time. I’ll go see Callan first.”
“Go ahead.”
“Be careful.”
“Don’t worry too much about the Capital. There’s still quite some time before the election. Even if you can’t return in time, it’s something that can be postponed since authorities like you are the ones who select the candidates.”
