Chapter 4298
James did feel the urge to kill when he sensed that Jethro knew his true identity.
However, Jethro’s behavior made that urge fade away.
He temporarily settled down and stayed with the Angel Race.
However, there was still a lingering concern in his heart. If Jethro were to break his trust and reveal his identity, it would be a monumental disaster for him and the Human Race. He pondered on how to keep the Angel Race bound to him.
Jethro left quickly and returned with equal haste, reappearing in less than a day.
“Great Elder, I have already conveyed your message to Grand Patriarch Louis, and he has agreed to meet with you regarding your interest in the Boundless Rank. Shall we go now, or would you like to wait a little longer?” Jethro respectfully informed James.
“Not in a hurry for now.” James waved his hand slightly, He looked at Jethro and said, “Patriarch Amani, I still have concerns. You need to give me some reassurance so I can have peace of mind. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for me to rest easy.”
Jethro, of course, understood what James was referring to.
He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
James tapped his fingers gently on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, “Here’s the deal. Once I return to my race, I will personally bring a betrothal gift to the Angel Race and marry Princess Leilani. Only when I have Leilani by my side will I feel peace of mind.”
Upon hearing these words, a solemn expression immediately appeared on Jethro’s face.
He knew that James was using his daughter as leverage. His daughter’s life would be at stake if he were to let this matter be exposed.
“Okay,” Jethro reluctantly agreed.
After contemplating for a moment, Jethro said, “I agree, but you need to personally discuss this matter with Leilani. If she has no objections, you’re free to come and marry her at anytime.”
James felt relieved with Jethro’s assurance.
