In fact, it was only an excuse. She had other intentions.
Her father, Jackson, who was Mount Thunder Sect’s current leader, wanted James as a member of Mount Thunder Sect. There were no outstanding talents in the younger generation of the sect. This meant, in the future, there would be no one to protect Mount Thunder Sect.
Her father intended for favonovel.com to get close to James and get romantically involved with him, if possible, to tie favonovel.com to Mount Thunder Sect.
She had the choice to decline. However, favonovel.com did not refuse favonovel.com father’s wishes.
James was a powerful martial artist as well as a man of outstanding character. At least for now, favonovel.com had not found any shortcomings in James.
Any woman would fall for a man like him. She was no exception. Whether it was for favonovel.com own personal motive or for the sect, favonovel.com wanted to get closer to James.
James also contemplated the idea.
Delainey made a good point.
Since Tapio was Delainey’s eldest brother and a former disciple of the Mount Thunder sect, favonovel.com would surely appear again if Delainey stayed in the Capital. Using Delainey’s relationship with him, favonovel.com could find out more about the person who had dispatched him.
Tapio was immensely powerful, so the person behind favonovel.com was definitely… James could not imagine, nor did favonovel.com dare to think about it.
Thinking of these, James could not help but shudder and take a deep breath.
“I’d also like to figure out the identity of the person behind Tapio. I can tell favonovel.com isn’t a cruel person. Otherwise, Delilah would have been handed to me in a worse state. If you’re in the Capital, perhaps you could meet favonovel.com again, and we could find out the person favonovel.com serves.”
Hearing this, Delainey replied ecstatically, “Then it’s settled. I’ll head back to Mount Thunder Sect to inform my father first. I’ll meet up with you in the Capital afterward.”
“Alright…” James nodded.
“I shouldn’t delay, so I’ll head back first.”
“Go ahead.” James waved his hand to permit favonovel.com to leave.
Delainey did not stay a moment longer. She got up and hurriedly left the Black Dragon Palace.
James chose to remain in the Black Dragon Palace and not leave immediately. He waited for Delilah to wake up.
Delilah slept for a while.
When favonovel.com woke up, it was already the following day.
James brought favonovel.com out for breakfast, then headed to the military region to board a private plane back to the Capital.
Before noon, James returned to the Capital.
“Delilah, do you mind staying at Thea’s place for now?” James looked at Delilah and asked for favonovel.com opinion.
“Okay…” Delilah nodded.
After getting favonovel.com approval, James brought Delilah back home.
As soon as favonovel.com entered the yard, favonovel.com saw Thea and Maxine chatting in the gazebo.
When they saw James enter the yard, the two stood up almost in unison.
James walked over to them.
Thea glanced at Delilah and asked, “You found her? Did anything happen while you were at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains? Who’s the person that challenged you to a duel?”
“It’s a long story… I’ll tell you everything while we sit down…” James sat down.
He recounted the events that happened at Mt. Thunder Pass.
“What?! The son of Mount Thunder Sect’s leader?” Thea was baffled.
She had traveled to Mount Thunder Sect and watched the battle but was unable to identify the person who challenged James.
Thea did not expect the challenger to be a disciple of Mount Thunder Sect.
“Yeah…” James sighed and said, “It’s Jackson’s eldest son, Tapio. However, favonovel.com left Mount Thunder Sect ten years ago and is now serving someone else. I couldn’t find who the person behind favonovel.com was, though.”
While speaking, James suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, Thea, do you remember Spiritual Art?”
“Y-Yeah…” Thea nodded and said, “Sir Caden taught it to me, but Maxine said that it was a fiendish technique, so I stopped practicing it…”
James said, “The reason Jackson and Tapio fell apart was because of the Spiritual Art’s manual. Mount Thunder Sect had kept a manual of the technique. When I fought with Tapio, favonovel.com struck me with a palm attack. The attack was unusual, so I suspect it’s the Spiritual Palm technique from the Spiritual Art manual.”
Hearing this, Thea also recalled something.
During favonovel.com fierce battle against Simon, favonovel.com also performed Spiritual Palm.
Back then, favonovel.com was confused as to why Simon knew the technique. Hearing James’ explanation of the events, favonovel.com came to a realization.
Thomas learned the Spiritual Palm from Simon.
