Thea had a flashback to when she first reencountered James.
James brought her to the House of Royals and treated her wounds. She remembered how he meticulously took care of her.
“Wedding? Will that day ever come?”
Thea’s face filled with sadness.
Sky said James was dead.
She knew James was likely dead but kept deceiving herself.
Henry consoled her, “Thea, that day will surely come. I believe James isn’t dead yet. He’s surely alive.”
Thea wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and took a deep breath to compose her thoughts. Then, she replied, “Please help me settle the matter on the high-tech weapons as soon as possible. I’ll be heading out next Monday.”
“Mhm. I’ll do my best.”
After making the request to Henry, Thea left.
Meanwhile, Henry quickly left Cansington and headed back to the Capital.
One day later…
Tyrus reunited with the Prince of Orchid Mountain in the underground palace deep within the Southern Plain’s forest.
“Father, many major events have occurred recently. Rumors are saying that James is dead.”
“What?” Langston stared at Tyrus.
“He’s dead?”
“Yeah.”
Tyrus explained, “It was reported by Sky. He headed overseas with James, but only Sky returned from the journey. Sky said there was a person who lived for more than one thousand three hundred years on an overseas island. This person was a ninth-ranked grandmaster, and he was incredibly powerful. James somehow antagonized him and was killed as a result.”
Langston calmed himself down and asked, “Anything else?”
Tyrus continued. “The other news is that Thea has absorbed the phoenix’s blood and has become significantly stronger. Although she hasn’t reached the ninth rank yet, in her maddened state, her strength can surpass the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair and enter the pre-ninth rank. She has also become the Great Grandmaster of the whole martial community.
“There’s also one more thing. That is, Thea will be leading martial artists from all over the world to slay the dragon next Monday.”
