Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 948

James did not press the matter further since it was a matter of small consequence.

“Alright, I’ll see you around.”

James engaged in a brief conversation with the Blithe King and Daniel. Then he turned to leave.

After leaving the military region…

Thea tilted her head. “Honey, where are we going? Are we going back to the Callahans?”

Before James could answer, Maxine interrupted. “James…”

“Yeah?”

James turned around and looked at Maxine, who was still traveling alongside James.

Maxine said, “Grandpa sent me to protect you. As it stands, you’ve almost caught up to me now that you've recovered your cultivation base. Aside from that, you also have Thea, a grandmaster of the third rank beside you. It’d be pointless for me to stay in Cansington any longer. It's time for me to return to the Capital."

“So soon?” James uttered in disappointment.

She had a sharp mind and could think on her feet.

Having Maxine beside him would be immensely beneficial to him. Her departing so quickly was something he had not expected.

“Yeah. Things are hectic in the Capital right now. The Ancient Four might not be doing much for now, but a great storm is brewing behind the scenes. Grandpa needs my help, so I must return home. While I’m gone, you should continue improving your martial arts. Also, take a chance to visit our family library in the Capital to find a martial art technique that suits you."

“What about Cynthia?” James asked hesitantly.

Maxine gave him a small smile. “I’ve already taught her a cultivation method. She’s smart, so I’m sure she’ll be able to cultivate True Energy soon with the Cold Energy in her body. You don’t have to worry.”

“Alright.” James nodded.

James did not stop her seeing as she looked to have made up her mind.

Maxine looked Thea in the eye. “Thea, I’m leaving James in your hands. I hope you’ll help shoulder some of his burdens.”

Thea huffed confidently. “Don’t worry. That’s a given.”

“Anyway, I guess this is where we part ways for now!”

Maxine waved to James and set off.

James and Thea watched as Maxine’s figure retreated into the distance.

After Maxine was no longer in sight, Thea clasped James’ hand affectionately. “Honey, shall we head back to my family’s place?”
