Chapter 1275
Maxine had never thought of becoming the family head.
Now that she was appointed, she had to start thinking about her way forward.
No matter what Lorenzo’s purpose was in making her the family head, she had to do something to strengthen her position.
She headed to meet Yaroslav.
Meanwhile, James had already boarded a private military plane back to Cansington.
On the plane, Thea kept holding on to a black sword.
James frowned and asked, “Is this the Malevolent Sword that Grandpa mentioned?”
“Yeah.” Thea nodded.
James continued, “Grandpa said that this was a wretched sword that would enchant a person’s heart. It would control its wielder.”
“No.” Thea shook her head firmly.
Thomas said holding the sword would cause one to develop the desire to kill.
However, she did not have that desire.
Thea looked at James and explained, “Honey, it’s not a wretched sword. Swords aren’t alive, so how can they be wretched? What’s wretched is the human heart. I’m holding the sword, but I don’t feel anything.”
“But…” James hesitated. He seemed to have something to say but ultimately decided to swallow his words.
“I know what you want to say. Nothing will happen if I control my emotions and stop using my True Energy. Moreover, if you give me a little more time, I’ll be able to control the strange blood in my body.” Thea wore a confident expression.
Initially, she had no memories of what happened when she first went through an Energy Deviation. Afterward, she could remember the events in the Johnstons‘ courtyard house and how she killed Kennedy. She was also able to restrain herself.
Back then, she would not have attacked Kennedy if he did not attack first.
However, Kennedy had a death wish and launched an attack on her.
“Mhm.” James nodded and did not say anything more.
“Honey, how’s your body feeling?” Thea changed the subject.
James replied, “I’m fine for the time being. Right now, I’m no different from an ordinary human since I can’t use my True Energy. If I try to use it, my meridians and organs won’t be able to withstand the overpowering True Energy and will be damaged instantly. It’d be troublesome to treat myself again if that were to happen.”
“That’s good.” Thea was relieved.
Callan had been sitting by the side and could not help but interject, “James, you should refine the Spirit Turtle’s core as soon as possible. After the Mount Thunder Conference, countless powerhouses will stay in hiding for some time, but hell will break loose soon. Even if you recover from your injuries and return to
your peak form, you won’t be powerful enough to turn the tide.”
James was well aware of what Callan was saying.
Even so, he had fought against an eighth–ranked grandmaster with all his strength, and it was already a miracle that he survived.
