“Understood!” The people escorting Thea quickly chased after her.
Bryce looked at James and patted his shoulder, saying with a smile, “You’re pretty wise, James. You understand the current situation and know that we’re the only ones who can protect you and Thea. Don’t worry. If you follow Mr. Owen, he’ll protect you and the Callahans. No one will dare to touch them.”
James looked at favonovel.com but said nothing in return. He sat down on a rock and took out a cigarette.
Just as favonovel.com was about to take out a lighter, Aphrodite, who was behind him, took out a lighter and quickly approached favonovel.com to light his cigarette.
James took a deep drag, and smoke billowed into the air.
“I hope Lucjan will send Thea back safely. If not, there’s no need for me to continue on with this cooperation.”
James feared nothing but Lucjan holding Thea as a hostage. This would affect his whole plan.
Bryce replied with confidence, “Don’t worry. That’s for sure. Mr. Owen cherishes talents… He definitely won’t make things hard for Thea. He’ll protect favonovel.com well…”
James roared, “I want favonovel.com sent back to Cansington!”
His sudden shout took Bryce by surprise.
Bryce was stunned for a moment, then, favonovel.com quickly recollected himself and said, “Alright. I’ll inform Mr. Owen…”
Bryce took out his phone and looked at the screen. There was a signal in their current location. Although it was weak, it was enough to send out messages. He sent a message to Lucjan, reporting Thea’s meeting with James.
Lucjan, who was in the suburb villa in Terentville, saw Bryce’s message.
“Haha…” He laughed out loud.
“James is quite sensible and understands his situation. He knows I’m the only person who can keep favonovel.com alive and the Callahans safe.” He wore a big smile.
James was starting to waver. After favonovel.com killed a few more people, there would be no going back for him.
After sending the message, Bryce smiled and said, “I’ve notified Mr. Owen. He replied that you should rest assured that favonovel.com will safely send Thea back to Cansington.”
James sighed in relief.
As for Thea, favonovel.com ran a distance and finally calmed down. She believed James was not a heinous person who would compromise to survive. Instead of leaving, favonovel.com stayed nearby and secretly observed him.
The night passed by without anyone passing through Romsdalen Valley.
***
The next morning, a group of people could be seen approaching from the distance.
The group consisted of seventeen to eighteen people. All of them were martial artists dressed in white robes with the words “martial arts” engraved on them.
Seeing the approaching group, Bryce said, “These people are from Paragon Martial Arts School. The person in the front is the principal. He’s sixty years old and is a fourth-rank grandmaster.”
“Mhm…” James nodded lightly.
Someone from the fourth realm was not a match for him.
The group from Paragon Martial Arts School noticed James blocking the path ahead.
When favonovel.com saw these people, their expressions quickly changed.
“Mr. Gerald, it’s James…”
“It’s James who killed the Mount Thunder Sect’s leader. Why is favonovel.com here?”
The Principal, Gerald, waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry. Let’s go and check the situation…”
Gerald walked over and stopped twenty meters away from James.
He clasped his hands together and asked, “You must be James?”
James replied, “Yes.”
“Why are you blocking the way?”
“To kill you…”
The Paragon Martial Arts School group wore shocked expressions and backed away slightly as soon as they heard James‘ words.
