“Hello, who’s calling?” A hoarse voice answered the phone.
“It’s James. I’m in the North now and I need you to do me a favor.” James stated his purpose plainly.
Mr. Walker let out a small noise of pleasant surprise.
“Hahaha, James! I’ve wanted to go drinking with you for a while now, but I haven’t been able to leave the Northern Borders. What’s up? What kind of favor are you looking for?”
“I’m in Harvin City right now and I need to find someone in an underground cavern in Mount Arclens.
“I called to ask whether I might be able to borrow some equipment from you,” James explained his intentions to Mr. Walker.
“You’re in Harvin City now? I’ll come meet up with you. You can tell me what exactly you need face-to-face.”
The Centurion guarded the Northern Borders, and Harvin City was located in the North. It was only a two-hour drive between the city and the military region.
“Sure.”
“Alright, I’ll see you later.”
“See you.”
James hung up the phone.
Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
He let his body sink into the sofa.
As he lay comfortably, he thought back to the events of the day as well as what Thea had told him.
Assuming that his grandfather was telling the truth, and his rampage on the Caden household thirty years ago due to his Energy Deviation was a result of a sudden ambush, then who could be the possible suspects?
Did his grandfather tell this to Thea on purpose?
James scrunched his face in annoyance as he found himself unable to draw a proper conclusion.
Meanwhile, outside the door…
Maxine and Thea left their rooms at almost the same time and walked towards James’ door.
Thea looked at Maxine quizically. “What’s up? Do you also need to see James?”
“Yeah.”
