Chapter 725
Scarlett panicked. “I’ll die without your protection, James.”
Scarlett was a grave robber. She and her companions robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb.
A lot of buzz about the ancient tomb was spreading in the criminal world like wildfire. In the past, she was the Transgenerational Group’s chairman. Thus, no one came knocking on her door. Now that the Transgenerational Group had fallen, people from the underworld would surely be after her.
She would die if she returned now.
James’ face was pale as he replied weakly, “I can’t protect you with the way I am right now. How about you go to Cansington and look for the Blithe King? Ask him to arrange a position for you. He is one of the Five Commanders, and I’m sure no one will trouble you with him as your backbone.”
Since James had already devised a plan for her, Scarlett had no complaints.
James glanced at Quincy and said, “You should also return to Cansington.”
“No.”
Quincy refused.
At that moment, Thea returned with food she had bought from the hospital cafeteria. She overheard their conversation as she walked into the ward.
She was slightly taken aback but quickly recollected herself and walked over. “James, I got you some food.”
She unpacked the food and sat beside him, planning to feed him.
“Give it to me. I can eat it myself.” James took the bowl and utensils from Thea and slowly ate his food under the countless gazes.
He ate five bowls of white rice.
After eating, he turned to Thea and said, “You should also head back to Cansington. You too, Xara. Go back together.”
Thea panicked and asked anxiously, “Then, what about you?”
James waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to worry about me. I’ve important things to attend to.”
James issued an order to evict the visitors. He chased away everyone except for the Elite Eight.
Although he looked sick and weak, he had a firm attitude.
