Only after Quincy and the rest had been sent back to Cansington did James feel slightly more relaxed.He believed that Lucjan would no longer threaten him with the lives of others since he had already consumed the Soul Eating Pill.Lucjan too was incredibly confident that James would continue to work for him.Lucjan stared at James in the villa with admiration and said, “I really like you, James. You’re a very rare gem and you’ve achieved such great strength at a young age. In a few more decades, you’ll be practically invincible. With you by my side, we’ll be able to usher in a new era of unprecedented prospierity!”James asked calmly, “I have no idea what the Gu Sect’s objective is. Would you care to enlighten me about it?”“Is that so?”Lucjan looked at James and replied with a smile, “Most people chase strength and power throughout their lives. It’s simply human nature to be greedy and stand at the top of the world. If it weren’t, there wouldn’t have been so many wars in the p

James understood that the two women would be killed if he refused their service. He had no choice but to accept since he did not want others to die because of him.The two women stood back up and began to undress James.Soon, his clothes were gone, leaving only his boxers.One of the women reached out to help him take it off. James quickly held out a hand to stop her. “That’s enough.”Then, he walked into the bathtub. The water temperature was pleasant. He lay down in the bathtub and let out a relaxed sigh.The two women suddenly kneeled on the floor and began to also undress.James immediately tried to interrupt them “What’re you two doing?”One of the women replied respectfully while pressing her head against the floor, “Emperor, we’re yours tonight.”James was baffled. “It’s an honor to serve you tonight, Emperor.”“Please accept us, Emperor.”“We understand that lowly insects like us aren’t worthy of being with you and as such, we won’t pester you in the future. You

James was unable to accept such things.They currently lived in an era of peace where everyone was supposed to live as equals. No one was supposed to be inferior to others.He stood up, took the cigarette, and left. He opened the balcony door and walked outside. Standing on the balcony, he looked toward the distant landscape covered in snow.Seeing that James was completely uninterested in them, they had no choice but to get dressed.“Sir…”James was deep in thought as he looked into the snowscape when a sudden cry brought him back to the present.He returned to his senses and looked at the two women coming out to the balcony.The twins were identical and had even the same height as if lifted from the same mold. They were even dressed the same.James reassured them gently. “You don’t have to do anything for me. Don’t worry. I’ll keep you two safe while I’m here.”“Okay.”The two nodded simultaneously and bowed gratefully. “Thank you.”James sighed in relief and walked back

Soon, James returned to the villa and leaped onto the second-floor balcony. He was about to enter his room when an unexpected voice from behind caught him off guard.“Where did you go?”James turned to the sound and saw an old man sitting in a lotus position in the courtyard.Lucjan jumped and instantly appeared on the second-floor balcony.James looked at him calmly, but internally his heart was racing.He had specifically checked the area before leaving. There seemed to be no one around, and he took great caution to ensure he was not being followed. He never expected Lucjan to spot him on his way back.James shrugged and replied, “I bored in the room, so I went for a short walk. What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to leave?”“Of course, you can.”Lucjan parted his mouth and said, “James, I really like you and I genuinely hope that we can work together as comrades instead of me having to use the poison against you.”“That’s out of the question.”James refused. “This is the last t

It did not take long for Quincy to send a set of coordinates to Thea.Quincy's phone had been taken away from her during the time they were held captive, so she had no idea where they were being held.Upon their release, they were not restrained any longer and so she had the opportunity to observe her surroundings.Thus, she knew the place they were held was near Terentville.Judging by the speed at which the car traveled to Terentville airport, she could roughly guess the villa’s location.Thea looked at the large red circle indicating the approximate location of the villa on the map sent by Quincy and frowned. “This is way too vast of an area. This covers about dozens of kilometers. How are we supposed to find him with this?”Maxine took a look and raised her brow, saying, “She’s definitely given us a wide zone where James could be, but we still have to try anyway. There’s not much time before the Mount Thunder Conference. Countless champions from major sects and families are p
