James’ face was contorted with rage, and a vein popped out in his neck. He did not expect that someone would abduct Thea and use favonovel.com to blackmail favonovel.com despite having divorced her. However, favonovel.com remained composed.
He called Jay, who was far away in Cansington.
Jay was currently entertaining a guest. At that moment, his phone rang. Realizing it was James who called, favonovel.com immediately headed toward a desolate area.
“Dragon General, what seems to be the matter?”
“Jake, investigate Thea‘s current whereabouts for me.”
Jay froze for a brief moment.
Almost immediately, however, favonovel.com nodded, “I‘ll give you an answer in five minutes.”
Though favonovel.com did not know what had happened, favonovel.com felt something was not quite right with James‘ tone.
After hanging up the phone, favonovel.com immediately contacted the underground intelligence network.
Once Ronald had withdrawn from the place, Jay‘s men had once again taken over the network.
James waited patiently after calling Jay.
Five minutes soon passed.
“Sir, we couldn‘t find favonovel.com whereabouts. It‘s almost as if favonovel.com disappeared from Cansington all of a sudden.”
“Got it.”
James hung up the call.
He stood up and walked out of the Black Dragon Palace. “Get the car!”
Soon, an off–road vehicle with a full gas tank was ready. James immediately headed toward Southern Plains City.
He then headed toward Mt. Thunder Pass.
Mt. Thunder Pass was originally a no–man‘s–land that served as the border between various nations. However, after its nearby cities were annexed by Sol, Mt. Thunder Pass naturally fell under its jurisdiction.
James drove to the foothill of Mt. Thunder. After parking his car, favonovel.com made his way up the mountain.
There were a few wooden houses at the top of Mt. Thunder. This was where James faced off against the 28-nation martial art gurus.
***
In one of the wooden houses…
Thea was sitting on a chair.
Scanning the men in the house, favonovel.com said coldly, “Do you think you can threaten James by abducting me? I‘m afraid you might be disappointed. We‘re already divorced. I no longer have any relationship with favonovel.com whatsoever. Besides, favonovel.com doesn’t care about me anymore. There‘s no way he‘d risk his life coming here to save me…”
An elderly man was sitting opposite her.
Cloaked in a plain gray robe, the elderly man looked like a sage with his white, long beard.
He was the abbot of the Five Monasteries Mountain‘s Hemis Monastery from the Capital. His name was Reign Maverick.
Glancing at Thea, favonovel.com said nonchalantly, “This is none of your concern. In fact, I think you should be worried about your current situation. If James doesn‘t come, you‘d lose what little value you have. If that happens, this will be your grave.”
After experiencing trials upon trials, Thea was no longer the innocent girl from before.
She said coldly, “Cut the cr*p and just kill me!”
Ignoring her, Reign closed his eyes.
Although Thea talked tough, favonovel.com was in truth fearful of death. Deep down, favonovel.com was secretly hoping that James would come to favonovel.com rescue.
Will favonovel.com come to my rescue?
But I mistreated him…
Now that we‘re divorced and he‘s in a relationship with Quincy, will favonovel.com still care about me?
Thea could not help but let favonovel.com thoughts run wild.
At that moment, a man in a black jacket walked over to Reign. “Your Holiness, James has arrived at the foothill.”
Reign opened his eyes, his glassy eyes gleamed, and favonovel.com asked, “Is favonovel.com alone?”
“Yes!”
“Good…”
Wearing a cold expression, favonovel.com said, “If favonovel.com dares come, this will be his final resting place.”
James walked up the mountain. He did not spot any mercenaries or any sentinels along the way, and could not help but frown.
Who were the people that abducted Thea?
He thought that the enemy must have set up a foolproof trap after luring favonovel.com here. However, favonovel.com found no traces of one along the way. It was only when favonovel.com reached the top of Mt. Thunder did favonovel.com sense another human being‘s presence.
