James was familiar with the man’s voice.
It was Callan Maverick.
Back then, favonovel.com said favonovel.com would not come to Durandal and Mount Olympus. In the end, favonovel.com came regardless.
Crouching on the rock beside James, Callan smoked a cigarette. As favonovel.com watched Lucjan and the martial artists from the Gu Sect, his expression turned grim.
“I haven’t regained all of my strength yet, but once I heard that Lucjan and some of the Gu Sect were here, I came here since I was worried that they could be up to no good. For the past one hundred years, Lucjan had kept a low profile while biding his time. He’s a cunning and terrifying man.”
Callan told James of his objectives.
Looking at Lucjan in the distance, James said in a low voice, “Why do you think Lucjan brought the Gu Sect here in Durandal?”
“How would I know? By the way, I’m retreating for now. Many are still hiding in the shadows. I have to be careful not to accidentally reveal my identity.”
Callan did not linger for long. He simply stood up and turned to leave. Soon, favonovel.com was gone.
Hiding in the shadows?
James stroked his chin as favonovel.com thought about it.
Who was Callan referring to?
Could they be ancient martial artists from Sol?
After brief contemplation, favonovel.com put his thoughts aside the moment favonovel.com noticed Polaris was awake. He walked over to him. Before favonovel.com could approach where the Polaris Sect was located, the martial artists all glared at him, alert. Some even brandished their weapons.
James looked at them. A single glance was enough to send shivers down their spines. Unconsciously, they staggered backward.
James casually walked over to Polaris. Upon seeing Polaris who was resting on a rock, a slight grin crept up on his face, “Are you alright, Archbishop Polaris?”
“Y-You…” Polaris’ face paled, and favonovel.com opened his mouth wide.
James said smilingly, “I’m a doctor, by the way. Would you like me to have a look at your injuries?”
“Trying to humiliate me, James?” Polaris roared.
However, his yelling aggravated his injuries, and favonovel.com vomited a mouthful of blood. In his eyes, James was here to humiliate him.
“What are you talking about, Archbishop Polaris? Why would I be here to humiliate you? I’m just here to ask you a question and heal your injuries while I’m at it. Besides, I didn’t even go all out. You were the one who tried to ambush me, and I had no choice but to retaliate. Even so, I suppressed my True Energy, or else you’d be dead…”
Polaris opened his mouth, but no words came out of it.
James grabbed his arm.
“Wh-What are you trying to do?”
Polaris’ face paled as favonovel.com struggled. However, favonovel.com could not exert even a single ounce of strength. He only breathed a sigh of relief when favonovel.com realized that James was not up to no good.
James took his pulse and said, “You’ll be alright. You just suffered some internal injuries from the Sword Energy. You’ll recover soon, I promise…”
As favonovel.com said that, a thin wire fell from his sleeves and immediately became a handful of needles. Holding Crucifier in his hand, favonovel.com began using it to heal Polaris’ injuries.
The moment James began inserting the needles, Polaris could feel his body ease up.
“What…” He was stunned but before favonovel.com could recollect himself, James inserted a few more needles.
Instantly, favonovel.com could feel his injuries recuperating. Stunned, favonovel.com could not even utter a single word.
James extracted the needles and looked at the stunned Polaris, saying, “You should be fine now. However, you have to be careful not to overexert yourself. Rest well and you’ll recover in no time.”
“T-This is unbelievable…” Polaris could not believe his eyes.
