James could feel a headache coming as he scoffed inwardly at the thought. Despite that, he slowly got up from the ground and climbed up the ledge again.
Before Waleria could throw another punch at him, James quickly explained, “Wait! It isnʼt what you think it is! It’s not about babies!”
Waleriaʼs hand stopped in mid-air. The lady lowered her arm and asked nonchalantly, “What is it, then?”
James sat down on the ledge again. “Have you heard of the Malvada Sect before?”
Waleria nodded. “Mhm. It is one of the major evil forces that plague the Verde District.”
James suggested, “Why don’t we try to take down the Malvada Sect?”
“Sure! Why not!” Waleria responded in an excited voice.
“I havenʼt gotten the chance to have a proper fight ever since I’ve regained my full powers. Back when I lost the fight to Yvan Xorath at the Theos District, the incident caused great, irreversible damage to my reputation and image. Now that I’ve entered the Quasi Chaos Rank, I’ll prove myself to everyone again by winning a huge battle this time!”
Previously, Waleria and Yvan were both on the Caelum Boundless Rank. However, Yvan had trained and perfected his skills much better than Waleria in that cultivation stage.
Although there wasnʼt a clear winner produced from the battle between those two, Waleria believed she had lost since she had suffered a lot more injuries than Yvan by the end of the battle.
A huge sense of relief washed over James as Waleria accepted the proposal. “In that case, Iʼll meet with Sir Lothar and tell him that we’ll carry out the mission.”
“Yeap! Go and see him now!” Waleria waved her hand dismissively.

Two elderly gentlemen were seated facing each other in a secluded area of the Verdett House. Both were staring hard at the chessboard placed between them.
Parthias Qavek, the Great Elder of the Verdett House, held a chess piece in his hand as he pondered about his next move. The man was considered the second strongest cultivator in the Verde Academy.
