The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 943

Chapter 943

Maxine meticulously compiled and went through everything on the way back to the city.

She only intended to voice her concerns, not to cause a rift between James and Thomas.

James‘ heart was already turbulent and hearing Maxine’s speculations only served to stir those feelings of unease more strongly.

“I believe in my grandpa just like you believe in Tobias. Let’s end this conversation here. I’ll think about it after we return.”

Even though he still had his doubts, he chose to continue believing in his grandfather.

Thea stared daggers at Maxine and said haughtily, “Are you done now? You can leave if you’ve said enough. We’re going to do what couples do now. Don’t tell me you’d like to be part of the audience?”

Maxine pressed her lips together, refrained from saying anything more, and got up to leave.

After she left, Thea immediately clung to James. “Honey, you don’t believe what she said, right?”

James gently shook his head. It was an extremely hard pill to swallow.

He trusted his grandfather more than Maxine.

… Yet, Maxine did raise valid concerns. There were many unexplainable things surrounding recent events.

“Let’s not discuss it further. It’s getting late. You should head back to your room and rest. I’m waiting for the Centurian to arrive so I can borrow some equipment.”

“What if… I said no?”

Thea wrapped her hands around James‘ waist and burrowed her face into his chest. She looked up at him, saying coquettishly, “I’m not leaving. You promised that we’d watch fireworks together. Honey, when all this blows over, let’s find a nice and quiet village, and settle down there. You’ll plow the land, and I’ll cook our meals. I want us to live a simple and peaceful life. What do you say?”

James slowly pried himself out of her embrace and stepped back gently.

In the past, he would have jumped at the offer, but things were different now. This was merely wishful thinking that would probably remain unfulfilled.

There was no guarantee he would survive the coming battles.

Thea took out a black token and placed it in James‘ palm.

James looked back at her. “What is this?”

Thea said, “It’s called God–King token. The God–King Palace only recognizes people who possess their tokens. Having this token will mean that you’re the owner of God–King Palace. The Four Great Protectors, Ten Elders, Thirty–Seven Stars, and Seventy–Two Demons will all be at your beck and call.
