Chapter 1234
“Why would you believe me?”
The core is a wonderful item. I wanted to kill you, but you gave it to me as you were dying. I can tell by this that you don’t have a bad heart.”
James trusted his intuition. He believed Callan was not necessarily a bad person. Despite being the
Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect, Callan did not do anything harmful to the country during his leadership of the Gu Sect in the last century.
Besides, Lucjan wanted to kill Callan because he no longer had the desire to fight for power. He was only concerned with cultivating and meditating in seclusion.
Callan leaned against the rock and looked at James with an expression of appreciation.
“You’re indeed the Dragon King, the Commander of two armies. Your broad–mindedness is unparalleled. I owe you my life. If you need anything in the future, just say the word and I’ll gladly assist.”
He rose to his feet while he said that. However, as soon as he stood up, he collapsed to the ground. James said promptly, “It’s best if you don’t move around too much right now. I’ll get you out of here first. Otherwise, if the others find you, you’ll have no chance of survival.”
He picked up Callan who was on the ground, took a few strides, and then vanished from the area. James was fast. Soon, he left the Mount Thunder Sect’s range and appeared on the paved road. There were quite a few cars parked there. The one he drove was among them.
He opened the car door and placed Callan in the back seat. “Stay here and don’t move around carelessly. The troops will be here soon. I’ll bring you back then to treat your injuries,” he instructed.
Callan collapsed onto the seat, closed his eyes, and said nothing else.
James shut the door and turned to leave.
After he had left, Callan sat up slowly and leaned against the seat. He let out a helpless sigh and laughed at himself. “I never imagined that I, Callan Maverick, would be reduced to this state one day.”
At this moment, he felt exhausted. He wanted to sleep.
Falling back onto the seat, he closed his eyes.
After leaving, James took out the core that Callan had given him. He turned it over and over in his hands as he examined it. Apart from being slightly warm to the touch, nothing else about it stood out.
Thea was sitting crossed–legged. Her entire body was glowing with the color of blood.
