Chapter 1166
Hearing Callan being mentioned, James could not help asking, “Is Callan still alive? Is he still the current Supreme Commander of Gu Sect?"
Lucjan smiled but did not answer James' question. Instead, he changed the topic.
"James, I'm expecting a lot from you. I believe your strength and talent will reach their full potential if you join me.”
"You drive a hard bargain. Fine, I'll join you.” James nodded after hesitating a moment.
Lucjan laughed and clapped his hands together gleefully, "Atta boy! Come, drink.”
Aphrodite and Venus quickly poured out the wine for the two men.
They had a grand feast, but James ate silently throughout the meal without saying much.
After eating, he returned to his room along with Aphrodite and Venus.
A middle-aged man downstairs turned to Lucjan. "Sir, is James really someone we should trust?"
Lucjan paused for a moment before he replied, "He killed Mount Thunder Sect’s leader, Jackson, to save his friends. I have eyes in Mount Thunder Sect. All the sect's elders and disciples had witnessed the battle.
"Moreover, he has consumed my poison. If he wants to survive, he has no choice but to work for me. For now, we can't fully assume he’s loyal to us, but the poison will work well to keep him on a short leash. I'll only trust him after he further proves his worth."
James sat down on the sofa in his room.
Aphrodite and Venus feared that James would get bored, so they performed a dance inside the room to entertain him.
The twins danced beautifully and gracefully, but James was not in the mood to appreciate them.
"That's enough. You can stop.” James raised his hand as a sign for the girls to stop.
The two stopped dancing and walked over, sitting beside James.
James moved aside to distance himself and pointed to the bed, saying," It's late. You two can go to sleep. I've slept during the day and am not tired yet. I'll cultivate for a while and sleep on the sofa later."
