James looked at Jethro who was sitting on the throne.
Jethro returned the gaze.
Their gazes met.
James was not afraid at all despite facing the Angel Race’s Patriarch who was a true Acmean. Even if he could not defeat him, he could simply flee.
Both Jethro and James remained silent. The atmosphere was awkward.
“You are Forty-nine, aren’t you?”
After some time, Jethro spoke to break the awkward silence.
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly and said, “I’m Forty-nine.”
Jethro said, “You may be able to fool the others, but not me.”
Hearing this, James was stunned. He murmured to himself, “Has he seen through me?”
Jethro stared at James and said, “I never thought that a member of the Human Race would be able to overcome all obstacles and reach the Omniscience Path’s Seventh Stage even though the Omniscience Path has been severed.”
Hearing this, James silently gathered his strength in preparation for his escape.
Upon seeing James’ expression, Jethro said, “Calm down. I would have made my move from the very beginning if I wanted to take you down.”
James breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not let his guard down. He simply stared at Jethro and remained silent.
