The journey back to Cansington was uneventful.
Soon, they arrived at the Callahans in Cansington.
The Callahans had developed rapidly over the past few years. That was because the family had undergone a major restructuring, which divided the family into two groups. One group would remain in the city and manage the businesses of the outside world, whereas the other group would practice martial arts in the suburbs.
Meanwhile, Thea returned to the Callahans’ residence in the suburbs.
After escorting Thea to her destination, James left and returned to the village. Before he left, Thea reminded him not to wander about outside and ordered him to return immediately after plucking the fruit.
James promised her just that.
A day later, James was at a place near the village.
He drove while humming a song.
Screech!
Suddenly, someone appeared in the middle of the road. James slammed on the brakes immediately, and the friction between the tires and the road made a screeching sound.
Then, James got out of the car.
A long-haired man wearing an ancient blue robe was standing in his way. Looking around twenty years of age, his facial features were delicate. Wearing a composed look on his face, he grinned at James.
“Who are you?” James asked calmly.
When he saw the man, he had a bad feeling. He had to be here for a reason.
“I’m here to challenge you,” the man spoke nonchalantly.
“Challenge me?” James chuckled.
This was the first time someone so brazenly challenged him. Though he wore a smile, he silently muttered under his breath, “Who the hell is he? Why is he challenging me”
