Sky looked at James with a smile on his face. However, deep down, he gnashed his teeth in frustration. James was a huge menace to him. He had to find an opportunity to get rid of him once and for all. However, now was not the time. He planned to finish James off secretly once the battle at the Nashaxi Desert was over.
Though he was in the same realm as James, James’ True Energy was slightly stronger than his. He stood no chance against James if he confronted him head-on. However, if he could lure him into an ambush, he could gravely injure James no matter how strong James was. Should that come to pass, the outcome would be vastly different.
Meanwhile, James looked at Sky with a smile. He did not trust Sky either. Ever since Tapio Cabral schemed against him at King Quavon’s Mausoleum a year ago, he kept his guard up at all times. All this while, he had been wary of Sky.
“Here’s to a pleasant cooperation.”
Sky extended his arm to shake James’ hand.
James, however, only smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Sky smiled and followed close behind.
After leaving the airport, they purchased an SUV and some daily necessities before heading to the Nashaxi Desert.
Though Nashaxi was a small nation, the Nashaxi Desert occupied ninth-tenths of the country’s area.
The trip to the Nashaxi Desert would take two days. So, James and Sky did not rush things. The journey which required two days to traverse took them three days in total.
On the third day, in the middle of the desert…
James sat in the passenger’s seat and smoked his cigarette. Upon seeing Sky stopping the SUV, he asked, “This desert is huge. How are we supposed to find the venue?”
Sky said, “There’s no need for us to hurry. We’ll continue on our journey once I’m done refueling the SUV. Soon, we should be able to arrive at the tournament venue.”
James was not in a hurry. With his current strength, only a few could defeat him. So, the dragon blood was in the bag, at least in his opinion.
Sky got off the SUV, opened the trunk, and grabbed a barrel that he prepared beforehand to refuel the vehicle.
Soon, the vehicle was refueled.
Then, he continued driving.
After half a day…
