When James arrived at Mount Thunder Sect, it was already past eleven at night.
Around that time, most of Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples were already asleep except for those guarding the mountain.
James was brought to Mount Thunder Sect’ reception hall.
“Mr. Caden, wait here for a moment. I’ll go to notify the sect leader.”
“Alright.” James nodded and sat down.
After favonovel.com sat down, a female disciple walked over with tea and set it on the table in front of James. Meanwhile, the disciples that led James into the reception hall hurried off to inform Jackson.
James patiently waited in Mount Thunder Sect’s reception hall for ten minutes.
“Haha, James…” A cheerful voice resounded from inside.
Following the voice, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked toward the reception hall. That person was the current leader of Mount Thunder Sect, Jackson.
James stood up and returned his amicable greeting, “Mr. Cabral…”
“Sit…” Jackson gestured to the chairs and sat down.
He looked at James and asked, “I take it you aren’t here just to visit me since you’ve come here so late. Did something happen?”
“That’s right…”
James sat down again and replied in a low voice, “A lot of things have happened recently. I’m visiting you at this hour because I’d like to ask for a favor from you. I need help investigating certain things.”
“What is it?” Jackson urged James to continue his explanation.
James briefly explained the situation within the Capital, Blue Tech Corporation, and also his trip to Durandal to look for Delilah. He also spoke about receiving a letter of challenge.
“I’d like to ask you to use Mount Thunder Sect’s influence in the ancient martial world and intelligence network to help me investigate these matters. I also need help inquiring about Valhalla Sect, Rodent, as well as Delilah and Xavion’s whereabouts.”
Jackson frowned after hearing James’ explanation.
“Did you say someone sent you a letter of challenge?”
“Yeah. The duel will take place at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains one week from now. I still have no idea about the challenger’s identity. I came to you mainly to ask for help looking into these matters. Then, I’ll head to Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains to accept the challenge.”
“Alright, no problem. Leave it to me. I’ll use all my sect’s connections to investigate these matters for you.”
James was relieved at Jackson’s reassurance. He was confident the truth would come to light soon with so many forces investigating these matters for him.
Soon, favonovel.com would find out Delilah and Xavion’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com could meditate in seclusion for a few days with peace of mind to prepare for the upcoming duel.
“By the way…” James suddenly remembered something and asked, “After returning to the Capital, I heard about Celestial Sect visiting Mount Thunder Sect and defeating Simon in battle. This means your sect has aligned itself with Celestial Sect right?”
Jackson had a forlorn expression upon James’ mention of the ordeal.
“Yeah, Celestial Sect’s leader had tremendous strength. I couldn’t land a single attack through his defense. He even shattered our Frost Sword and singlehandedly defeated our Grand Sect Leader.”
“Who do you think the Celestial Sect’s leader is?” asked James.
James asked the question mainly because favonovel.com know the identity of Celestial Sect’s leader that had saved favonovel.com time and time again while favonovel.com was at Mount Olympus in Durandal. He figured the Celestial Sect’s leader must be someone favonovel.com knew personally.
Hearing James’ question, Jackson rubbed his chin pensively.
After several seconds, favonovel.com looked at James and said, “When Celestial Sect’s leader fought with our Grand Sect Leader, I heard Simon address favonovel.com as Thomas…”
“My grandfather?” James was shocked speechless.
“Yeah…” Jackson nodded and said, “If our Grand Sect Leader was right, the Celestial Sect’s leader that challenged us that day was your grandfather, Thomas. Your grandfather is probably the only person in the entire world who has the strength to defeat our Grand Sect Leader.”
