The moment Thomas spoke, James knew favonovel.com was his grandfather. The same grandfather who adored favonovel.com since favonovel.com was a child.
He knelt on the ground, staring at the bottomless pit in front of him, and sobbed uncontrollably.
Scenes from his childhood flooded back to him. He remembered sitting on his grandfather’s lap while his grandfather taught favonovel.com ancient language and the fundamentals of Solean Medicine.
In the fire at the Cadens’ ten years ago, favonovel.com was helpless. He heard the Cadens howling and roaring in agony, but favonovel.com could not do anything. In the end, it was Thea who rushed in and saved him.
Ten years later, favonovel.com was still helpless and witnessed his grandfather’s fall into the bottomless pit with his own eyes.
“Damn it!” James stood up, veins bulging on his face, and stared unwaveringly at the black-robe figure on the rock across from him.
Maxine was concerned that James would lose control and grabbed favonovel.com just in time.
“James, don’t be reckless… Thea is still dangling there,” favonovel.com advised.
“James, I’ll repeat myself. Tell me the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge or Thea will fall from here. Her face will no longer be recognizable,” the black-robed figure spoke again.
“How brazen.” At that moment, a voice filled the air.
James turned around and looked.
An old man appeared.
“Grandpa!” Maxine was beaming.
“You’re finally here!” favonovel.com exclaimed.
It was Tobias.
Before Maxine boarded the plane, favonovel.com informed favonovel.com of the situation. Tobias was also concerned that something bad would happen, so favonovel.com rushed over.
The person in the black robe saw Tobias’ arrival and casually flicked their hand.
A burst of energy formed on the tip of their finger, immediately striking and snapping the rope from which Thea was dangling. Then, they fled quickly.
Thea was plummeting like a kite with a broken string.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, James was stunned. His mouth was wide open, but favonovel.com could not make a sound.
Tobias, on the other hand, flew over in a flash. He fell quickly and caught Thea as favonovel.com was falling. Then, favonovel.com came to the cliff’s edge, stepped on it, and flew back using the rebound.
He then stood firm on the ground.
James regained his composure and exclaimed, “Thea!”
With a toss, Tobias handed Thea over to James.
James took favonovel.com in his arms and held her.
“Stay here and don’t move!” Tobias gave his command, then leaped across dozens of meters with a flash before reappearing on the ground across the cliff and chasing after the black-robed figure.
James was holding Thea and laying favonovel.com down to check favonovel.com pulse.
It was weak, but favonovel.com was not in danger of dying. He finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
“Thea…” He shook Thea gently.
Thea blinked open favonovel.com eyes in a daze. She noticed a face that appeared familiar but felt foreign to her.
“J-James…” favonovel.com spoke softly, then abruptly asked, “Where is Grandfather?”
“Grandfather… Grandfather was…” James was choking on sobs and could not speak.
“What happened to Grandfather?” Thea asked anxiously.
“Thea, you knew Thomas was alive, didn’t you?” asked Maxine, who was standing by.
Thea stood up and looked at Maxine.
“Yes… I was already aware of it,” favonovel.com said with a nod.
James looked at Thea and asked, “What is this all about?”
Thea was lost in favonovel.com memories for a while before saying, “When Tiara was in trouble and you went to the Capital, Grandfather found me and said you were in danger… He couldn’t appear in person, so favonovel.com asked me to step in.”
