Thea grabbed him in time and said in a soft voice, “I’m alright.”
Thomas did not leave. “It's possible that Thea has absorbed all of the blood's energy,” he said after pondering for a while. “That’s why she’s like this. There’s only one way to save her now. That is, to slay the dragon. Using the dragon’s blood…”
"You planned this a long time ago, didn't you?" James gave Thomas a cold stare while slowly saying, “You knew from the start that after Thea absorbed the blood's energy, her blood would lose its vitality and the ability to regenerate. Your goal is to force me and Thea to slay the dragon, right?
“I can let it slide when you manipulate others. But I'm your grandson, and you're trying to manipulate even me?” James roared.
“I’m not.” Thomas explained, “Whether or not you believe me, I never misled you. I don't want you to get involved either. However, you already have the Dragonslayer. It was created specifically to slay a dragon. You'll have a much better chance of succeeding if you use it to slay the dragon.”
“I’ll go.” James exhaled a deep breath. “Whatever you're planning, I'm going to kill this dragon. I'm not trying to help you; I'm just trying to save Thea.”
After saying that, James pulled Thea along with him and left.
Callan gave Thomas a quick glance before following James in silence.
Thomas watched as James walked away, a resigned expression on his face.
When James arrived outside the Divine Sword Villa, he found the helicopter stationed there.
For these few days, the people from the military region had been waiting.
After James and the others boarded the helicopter, it quickly took off and headed toward a military base in a nearby city.
On the helicopter, Thea held James’ hand and said softly, “Sir Caden isn't like that. I believe him. Don't hold it against him anymore.”
James took a deep breath and said, “I have no idea what Grandfather is up to. I can't read him at all. What kind of a person is he?”
“Not a good person, for sure,” Callan spoke from the side.
"How do you know that?" James asked, turning his body to face him.
Callan said, “For decades, he kept himself hidden and stayed under the radar, deceiving a large number of people before killing the Spirit Turtle. Now, he's trying to trick someone into slaying the dragon again. Thomas is extremely ambitious. He’s even more ambitious than Lucjan.
