Since it was James’ matter, if favonovel.com intervened right now, favonovel.com would surely berate favonovel.com if favonovel.com found out afterward. For now, favonovel.com could only wait in the shadows and take action when James was in danger.
It would not be necessary for favonovel.com to step in if James could defeat his opponent. Even so, favonovel.com knew in favonovel.com heart that favonovel.com had nothing to worry about.
James was an eighth-ranked grandmaster and utilized Heavenly Breath. Plus, favonovel.com possessed the mighty Invincible Body Siddhi, and very few people were a match for him.
Thea’s true strength was still far below that of James’ and favonovel.com would have to rely on the power of the Spirit Turtle’s blood in order to draw out more power for herself.
In the event that James gets defeated, it was unlikely that Thea would be able to defeat his opponent even if favonovel.com borrowed the power of the Spirit Turtle. That only leaves the option of fighting the battle together with James to defeat the enemy together.

Meanwhile, James sat in a lotus position on top of Mt. Thunder Pass like a monk in meditation.
Delainey silently stood a distance away from favonovel.com and watched over favonovel.com for the past few days. She had been keeping track of the time in favonovel.com mind.
According to the time, today was the day of their agreed-upon battle. However, the challenger had yet to appear.
“Mr. Caden…” She softly called out to him.
Hearing favonovel.com voice, James slowly opened his eyes.
He picked up the Blade of Justice that had been. stabbed into the ground and stood up. James turned to Delainey and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Delainey looked up at the sun and said, “Today’s the day of your duel. It’s already noon, yet there’s no sign of your challenger. Could you have been fooled?”
She thought the possibility was highly likely.
Other people would surely leave a name on their letter of challenge and announce it to the world. However, the person who sent James the letter did not leave his name, and nothing about their duel was reported on the news.
If James had not gone to Mount Thunder Sect himself, even they would not have known that someone had challenged James. Thus, favonovel.com highly suspected that this was a ruse or a prank.
Perhaps it was also a tactic to lure favonovel.com away from their real target. It was probable that the enemy did not want to fight James but simply wished to lure favonovel.com away from Cansington.
James was also unsure.
He had left his phone turned on for the past few days. However, favonovel.com had yet to receive news from the Capital. It seemed less likely the enemy was trying to lure favonovel.com away.
Just as James was thinking about it, eight women dressed in white dresses and veils, carrying a sedan chair, appeared on the mountain peak shortly after those thoughts crossed his mind.
The eight women landed nimbly on the ground.
Delainey reflexively moved away and stood behind James.
James stared at the unexpected guest who had suddenly appeared. He knew the person sitting inside the sedan chair was the one that sent favonovel.com the letter of challenge.
“Since you’ve come all the way here, why are you still hiding? Come out and show yourself…”
James tightened his grip on the Blade of Justice and stared at the sedan chair.
Through the white curtains that concealed the inside of the sedan chair, James could vaguely see a man in a white robe. Judging from his facial features, favonovel.com seemed relatively young.
Delainey also stared intently at the man in the sedan chair. She was curious about the person who dared to challenge James.
Cough…
In the sedan chair, a soft cough leaked out.
Immediately afterward, the curtain in front of the sedan chair was suddenly lifted.
The man in the sedan chair was seated lazily. He looked at James and Delainey nearby and smiled faintly. “James, you’re quite punctual…”
“Where’s Delilah?” James took a step forward as his expression grew threatening.
Delainey, standing behind him, had favonovel.com eyes locked on the man. She was rooted to the ground in disbelief and favonovel.com looked like favonovel.com had seen something impossible before her.
“Tapio?” Delainey stared at the carefree young man sitting in the sedan chair.
