“There’s nothing to worry about.”Maxine continued to gaze at him calmly. “Bystanders are able to see the bigger picture. As someone caught in the game, you’re unable to see the situation for what it is. You’re not the only person in the Capital. Other forces are also present. Whether it be Mr. Lance or Lucjan who’s trying to cause an upset in the Capital, someone will surely step up and take charge of the situation to prevent it from spiraling out of control.”After hearing Maxine’s words, realization dawned on James.“You really do have a talent for seeing more clearly than I can. You’re right. What am I worrying about?”Maxine smiled.She deliberately slid closer to James, leaned on his shoulder, and guided his hand around her waist.James quickly pulled back his hand. “W-What’re you doing?”Maxine asked with a flirtatious smile, “Say… Am I pretty, James?”James nodded honestly, “Yeah. You’re as pretty as a nymph. It’s not an exaggeration to actually call you one.”“Perhaps

“Would you like me to go with you?” Thea asked for James’ opinion and tilted her head to the side.She was worried about James.Although he was an eighth-ranked grandmaster and had considerable strength, there were quite a number of eighth-ranked grandmasters aside from him in Sol. These people’s strength must have also increased significantly with the Spirit Turtle’s core. Thea was worried James would get injured at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains.“That won’t be necessary. You can just stay here at home and wait for me to return.” James placed his hands on Thea’s shoulders and reassured her, “I promise I’ll do whatever it takes to survive and I’ll be extra careful no matter what happens.”“Alright.”Thea gave him a small nod.Although she did not say anything else, she had already secretly decided to follow him and provide him assistance in critical situations where necessary.She wrapped her arms around James’ head, tiptoed, and leaned into James’ lips.James embra

Jackson nodded and said, “If our Grand Sect Leader was right, the Celestial Sect’s leader that challenged us that day was your grandfather, Thomas. Your grandfather is probably the only person in the entire world who has the strength to defeat our Grand Sect Leader.”James tried to organize his thoughts.‘Grandpa?’ thought James.James found that idea highly improbable.He had come in contact with Celestial Sect’s leader several times.Although the sect leader wore a mask, he could smell perfume on them, and their arms were also not as toned as a male would be.Despite their efforts to disguise their voice by making it sound deep and raspy, it was still distinguishable as that of an actual man.“I highly doubt it.”James said skeptically, “While I was in Mount Olympus, the leader of the Celestial Sect and my grandfather appeared almost around the same time. My grandfather appeared right as Celestial Sect’s leader left. That doesn’t make sense unless my grandfather resorts to cl

“I understand.”Delainey nodded lightly, stood up, and said, “I’ll return to my room to get ready. Then, I’ll go with James to the Southern Plains.”“It’s good that you’re such an astute child.”There were no other words that needed to be exchanged between the two.Delainey picked up the book on the table, turned around, and left the library.…James had been waiting for about 20 minutes in Mount Thunder Sect’s reception hall.20 minutes later, Jackson walked back into the hall with a woman.The woman was relatively young and looked like she was in her early twenties.Mount Thunder Sect was covered with snow all year round, and the temperature was relatively low. Despite the cold, the woman only wore a white dress, and her long black hair danced in the breeze.Her face was fair and her cheeks were rosy.She followed behind Jackson as they entered the reception hall. They stopped in front of James. The woman crossed her hands to the right side of her lower abdomen and elegant

The region outside the Martial Heaven Continent was called the Wilderness.“Do you know a man that goes by Polaris?”Delainey nodded. “Yes, I do. There are records of him in Mount Thunder Sect’s ancient book, but this person existed more than a thousand years ago. Our sect only records things from this millennia, so there isn’t any detailed information about him. The only thing I know is that this person constantly challenged powerful subordinates of the Prince of Orchid Mountain. Ultimately, he was bested by the Prince of Orchid Mountain, and his cultivation base was dissipated. His whereabouts have been unknown ever since, and he completely disappeared from the martial world.”After hearing Delainey talk about historic events, James was convinced that Jackson was right about her encyclopedic knowledge.She had extensive knowledge about everything there was to know about the martial world.It seemed like there was nothing she did not know.However, he never expected Mount Thunde
