He planned to take the second volume of the medical book and leave.
“James…”
A tall and muscular figure dressed in a military uniform walked over and greeted James respectfully.
The man was Clinton.
Clinton was selected to participate in the special training because of James. Although the special training was not over yet, favonovel.com had asked for leave to thank James personally.
James looked at Clinton with a smile and said, “Not bad. You’ve only been training for a while but look much stronger.”
Clinton replied with a smile, “The special training is tough, but I’m pumped to keep going. I hope to become a hero like you one day and protect our country.”
James waved his hand and said, “What hero? I’m no longer the commander of the Black Dragon Army, nor am I the Black Dragon. I’m just a commoner now.”
“In my heart, you’ll always be a hero!” Clinton said firmly.
“James…” Jedidiah walked over.
“Grandpa…” James greeted favonovel.com respectfully.
James had respect for the older revolutionaries because their effort allowed Sol to survive the most difficult periods and lead the country forward.
“I’ve heard a lot about you recently. The Callahans and Thea are indeed at fault. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you should return home. The Callahans will always welcome you. I will also acknowledge you as my only grandson-in-law.”
“Grandpa, thank you for the kind offer, but I’ll pass… Thea is an incredible woman. I’m just a commoner now and not worthy enough for her,” James waved his hand and said.
Gladys came over and shouted at him, “What’s wrong with you, James? The whole family is begging you to come back. Do you really think you’re somebody? If it weren’t for everything you’ve done for the Callahans, do you think we’d still welcome you back?”
“Mom, what is wrong with you?” Thea criticized Gladys.
“James has finally returned home, so can’t you have a better attitude? A-Am I wrong?” Gladys saw that everyone was looking at her, and favonovel.com confidence immediately dropped.
She murmured, “The elders are already begging favonovel.com to come back, but favonovel.com is still acting so arrogant…”
“I’ll go get my stuff and leave immediately…” James was not bothered by favonovel.com attitude and headed to the second floor.
Thea followed after him.
***
Inside a room on the second floor…
James opened the cabinet and took out the medical book’s second volume.
Thea walked into the room and said, “James, I won’t stop you if you insist on leaving…”
It was rare for Thea to be acting so rationally.
James nodded and asked, “Have you read my medical book?”
“Yeah…” Thea nodded.
She answered honestly, “I was bored at home and went through a few pages. The text is written in an archaic script from a thousand years ago and records some acupuncture techniques. I didn’t understand much, but the meditation method seemed interesting. It allowed one to calm down. Once a person’s mind is clear, it’ll make it much easier to think about complicated things.”
James was surprised. He never expected Thea to be able to read the words within the medical book. Moreover, favonovel.com even comprehended the meditation methods.
“W-Who thought you how to read ancient words? Who else has read it besides you?” James stared at Thea doubtfully.
This woman had changed a lot and seemed to know everything about him. He suspected that Thea must have come in contact with someone in the past few days.
“I’m the only one who went through it… I searched the words online and deciphered them slowly until I could understand them,” Thea murmured.
The truth was that Thomas also read the medical book and explained the meditation method. However, Thomas had reminded favonovel.com that favonovel.com must never tell James about it. He said it was not time yet, and it’d be chaotic if James found out. Thus, favonovel.com did not dare to mention it.
James did not fault favonovel.com for it since favonovel.com never warned favonovel.com not to read it. In fact, there was nothing much inside anyway.
The medical book recorded very little about medical techniques, and most of the content was about Crucifier’s applications. Even if Thea understood the content, it would be useless information since Crucifier was not in favonovel.com possession.
James took the medical book and left.
“Are you really going to leave?” Thea tried to urge favonovel.com to stay.
She wrapped favonovel.com arms around James from behind and buried favonovel.com head into his back, saying softly, “Can’t you give me another chance to prove myself?”
