After Callan stepped forward to greet James, those who knew him and even those unfamiliar with him followed suit.
James had displayed his terrifying strength abroad when he went to the Blood Race’s territory.
Additionally, Thea had recovered her strength.
These two together were invincible.
No one would get away with antagonizing them.
It would not hurt to greet James and get acquainted with him. If anything, it would be extremely beneficial in the future.
“Grandpa.”
James noticed Thomas and called out to him.
“Mhm.”
Thomas nodded gently and replied with a smile, “I’m glad you’re alive. Keeping yourself alive is more important than anything else.”
James looked at Thea and asked, “You guys are here to slay the dragon, right?”
Thea nodded and said, “Yeah, we’re here to slay the dragon. Its blood can make one immortal. Martial artists from all over the world have gathered together with this purpose in mind. This time, we’re well prepared and have high-tech weapons with us. We'll bring out the weapons if our strength alone isn’t enough to slay the dragon.”
Since James was still alive, Thea had a change of heart and now was set on slaying the dragon.
She was already immortal and would live thousands of years at the very least.
Meanwhile, James was still just a mortal martial artist.
Although martial artists had longer lifespans, the longest they could live was up to two hundred years.
Despite the ninth rank being regarded as Immortality, very few could reach this rank. Those who had done so were only successful when they used the Four Holy Beasts’ blood.
Thus, no one could be certain whether immortality was granted by the Four Holy Beasts’ blood or the ninth rank itself.
To be with James forever, Thea decided to slay the dragon and help James also become immortal.
James glanced at the martial artists.
Many were familiar faces, and only a few were strangers to him. However, he could see that those who dared to slaughter the dragon were strong and stood at least at the eighth rank.
“Honey, do you know where the dragon is?” asked Thea.
“I only know the dragon is indeed on this island. I have yet to uncover its precise location.” James shook his head and scanned the surroundings to check if Wilbur had followed him. However, Wilbur was nowhere to be seen.
