Chapter 1327
"You are the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame Army and a good friend of the Blithe King. The father of Whitney Walker—Henry's girlfriend—is the Centurion of the Northern Border. Your connections are terrifying.
"You now control the vast majority of forces of Sol. Who would dare go against your wish if you want to become the King?
“As for the ancient martial world, you have the support of Maxine, the family head of the Cadens. Not only that, you're close friends with Jackson Cabral, the Sect Leader of the Mount Thunder Sect. You even have Callan in the Capital to assist you.
“Even the heavens wish for you to be the King,” Thea said.
James scratched his nose, saying, "Seems like it, yeah. But I’m really not interested in becoming King. The greater the authority, the greater the responsibility. I don't think I can manage a country well."
Leaning on the chair, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
"I like a peaceful and uneventful life. I cherish the time when I was married into the Callahans. Thea, once everything is over and the new King ascends to the throne, why don't we find a secluded place and live out the remainder of our lives?"
Thea slammed on the brakes. She stopped the car by the roadside and stared at James.
Then, she said with a grim expression, "Darling, since you have the strength, why don’t you want to become the King?"
"Do you really want me to be the King?” James returned the question.
Thea shook her head and said, "Back then, I only wished for you to stay by my side. However, Maxine's words make sense. Why don't you give it a try? Human life is short. You should try and make a name for yourself."
James stared at Thea and asked, "Thea, why do you sound more and more like Maxine? In just two months, I no longer recognize both of you.”
Thea took a deep breath.
When James told him what Maxine said to him, she wanted James to become the King in that instant. Now, however, the desire had subsided.
After calming down, Thea said smilingly, "As long as I'm by your side, I'll support you in whatever you do."
"Let's return for now," James spoke softly.
