The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 1635

“No ‘buts’.”

James’ face was filled with determination. He said definitively, “I'll never let you get hurt again. Be at ease and stay in the Capital. With my current strength and the unmatched Primordial Dragon Blade, there are few in the whole of Sol, if not the entire world, who can defeat me.”

Thea could not do much about James' refusal to let her go. She resignedly reminded James, “Be careful. Leave and come back as soon as you can. There are still issues in the Capital that require your attention.”

James said with a smile, “Actually, I don't have to deal with that anymore. With the King's abilities, he would be able to handle everything. I've already talked to the King. He said he'd take care of it right away and dissolve Orient Commerce before the election.

“I’ve talked to Callan as well. He’ll quickly reorganize the Gu Sect and wipe out the Owens' remaining influences in the process.”

Despite not going out the past few days, James had contacted the King and Callan to make the necessary arrangements for these.

After hearing that, Thea felt relieved.

Holding James’ hand, she said, “In that case, when you return from your trip to King Quavon's Mausoleum, we’ll be able to leave the Capital. We can seek out a remote place and begin a life of seclusion.”

James fell silent as he heard that.

‘A life of seclusion?

‘Is that really possible?

‘Thea’s condition isn’t promising. Even if we live in seclusion, how long would she have to live?

‘One year, two years, or three to five years?’

“Mhm.” He nodded softly.

Despite his promise to Thea, when the time came to slay the dragon, he would still go with his grandfather. If he did not kill the dragon, Thea would not live very long.

"When are you leaving?" Thea asked.

James gave it some thought and said, “The Blithes are already on their way to King Quavon's Mausoleum. I need to get there quickly. There’s no time to waste. I'm leaving right now.”
