After being on a ten-hour flight, James finally arrived back in the Capital in Sol.
It was morning when favonovel.com reached the Capital.
He had a meeting in the military region after favonovel.com returned to Sol, according to his schedule.
He was required to speak at the meeting and provide a summary of what favonovel.com had learned at the military exchange conference between the two countries. However, favonovel.com did not have the luxury of time for that. He immediately left it to Henry to deal with it instead. Then continued on his way to Thea’s residence without pausing.
Thea had also calculated the exact time and knew when James would return.
When James arrived at Thea’s residence, the gate to the courtyard was unlocked.
He walked straight inside.
In the courtyard, a tall, beautiful woman in a slim-fitting dress could be seen. She was trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a pair of scissors in favonovel.com hand.
It was indeed Thea.
When Thea noticed James had entered, favonovel.com could not help but put down the scissors and walk over.
She wrapped favonovel.com arms around James’ neck and gave favonovel.com a kiss on the cheek.
Her pretty face was lit up with a sweet smile.
“Honey, you should’ve told me you were coming back. Then I would’ve personally prepared a meal for you as a welcome. Was it a success at Durandal?” favonovel.com asked.
Was the effort this time successful?
James was being hugged. He could smell the scent on Thea’s body, and favonovel.com furrowed his brows.
This scent… Why is it different?
“Is there any perfume on you, Thea? Why haven’t I ever smelled this perfume before? It seems to be different from the perfume you were wearing previously, huh?”
“Yeah…” Thea said with a smile, “I haven’t been using the one that I used before. Maxine recommended this to me. I thought it was pretty nice, so I’m using it. Besides, I’ve been using it for months. You didn’t notice its scent before?”
Thea, who had been smiling, suddenly looked displeased.
“James, we spent a few days together before you left. We were even intimate on a few occasions. I can’t believe you don’t even remember my scent.”
As Thea said that, James’ memory became a little hazy.
He honestly could not recall the scent that was on Thea’s body when favonovel.com had not yet left the Capital.
He had not bothered to pay close attention to it either.
If it were not for his suspicions about the identity of the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, favonovel.com would not have given it a second thought.
“I have some questions for you. Let’s go inside and talk.” James pulled Thea along and led favonovel.com into the house.
Thea’s chest tightened. She knew exactly what James wanted to ask. Nonetheless, favonovel.com pretended to be surprised.
Once they entered the house, James sat on a sofa.
Thea, on the other hand, poured a glass of warm water for James.
After giving it to him, favonovel.com sat to the side and asked, “What’s the matter, Honey? What do you want to ask me?”
“Where’s your Malevolent Sword, by the way?” James looked at Thea.
“Ah, that’s…” Thea smiled and said, “You said that the Malevolent Sword is an evil thing, didn’t you, Honey? I already threw it away…”
“You threw it away?” James was stunned.
This was too much of a coincidence. He remembered seeing the Malevolent Sword after arriving in the Capital.
Why did Thea dispose of it during his trip to Durandal and back?
Was there any chance that the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader saw favonovel.com when favonovel.com was throwing it away?
“Actually, I didn’t throw it away…” Thea gently touched favonovel.com silky black hair which was cascading down the front of favonovel.com chest.
“When Maxine visited me, favonovel.com warned me that the sword was extremely evil. She requested that I give it to favonovel.com so that favonovel.com can deal with it. I gave it to favonovel.com because I didn’t think I would use it much if I kept it. Maxine then informed me that favonovel.com had discarded the sword. As to where favonovel.com left it, I’m not sure either.”
As favonovel.com said this, favonovel.com gave James a strange look.
“Honey, what’s the matter? Why are you suddenly asking about the Malevolent Sword? Do you want me to call Maxine and have favonovel.com come over to tell you where the Malevolent Sword was left?”
James took Thea’s hand.
A powerful True Energy formed in his palms and entered Thea’s body.
“Honey, what are you doing?” Thea immediately started to panic.
James was assessing Thea’s power.
Through his assessment, favonovel.com discovered that Thea’s True Energy was indeed very powerful right now.
He learned that Thea had gained access to all of the meridians throughout favonovel.com body and had risen to the fifth rank. There were even indications of favonovel.com almost reaching the sixth rank.
