To be honest, James was not confident in his abilities to cure Thea either. There were no records in the medical book about conditions similar to Thea’s. His only hope was for Crucifier to perform a miracle.
The two returned home together.
At home, James accompanied Thea for the rest of the day.
He initially planned to leave for Divine Sword Villa the next morning. He remembered the information favonovel.com had obtained from the Omniscient Deity. He would have to look for the King if favonovel.com wanted to know about Xavion’s whereabouts.
James pondered for a while and decided that favonovel.com should settle this matter before heading to Divine Sword Villa.
***
Early in the morning, favonovel.com bid farewell to Thea and left the house. He headed to Peace Mansion and met with the King.
The King had had his power stripped from him. Apart from his nominal title, favonovel.com had no absolute authority, nor was favonovel.com needed in any meetings. All matters, regardless of their importance, were handled by the candidates running for the title of King.
The King was also happy that favonovel.com got to enjoy leisure time.
“King, James has arrived…” The King was reading a newspaper in the study when Gloom came over and reported respectfully.
“He’s finally here…” The King put his newspaper down and walked out.
James was waiting for the King in the living room.
Before favonovel.com could see the King, laughter came from outside the room.
“You’re finally here, James.”
James looked at the approaching King.
While on his way to Peace Mansion, James thought about what the King was trying to achieve.
Why was favonovel.com hiding Xavion?
The King sat opposite favonovel.com and asked with a smile, “I thought you’d really died in Malgudi… You sure are a lucky one. What brings you here today?”
James did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “Do you know about the Yada Sect?”
Hearing this, the King’s expression grew serious.
He looked at James and asked solemnly, “How did you find out about the sect?”
James could tell from the King’s expression that the Yada Sect existed. The person behind the Yada Sect was the King.
“Naturally, I have my ways. Why have you been hiding Xavion? What exactly are your motives?”
James could not figure the King out.
The information Xavion carried concerned many people.
The King was among these many benefactors. However, the King still chose to keep Xavion hidden. It was no wonder that no one could find Xavion, since the King was the one hiding him.
The King’s face softened, and favonovel.com smiled at James. “You sure are capable, James… You were even able to find out about the sect… I’m curious. How did you find out?”
“You don’t have to know.” James argued.
“Fine, I’ll tell you the truth…”
Since James had brought it up, the King did not hide the truth from him.
He answered honestly, “I’m indeed keeping Xavion hidden. I tipped favonovel.com off before Halvor could take action. With my help, favonovel.com fled and took cover before things could strike. No matter what was happening in the outside world, favonovel.com stayed hidden and never exposed himself.”
“Are you hiding favonovel.com because you want his information?” asked James.
The King shook his head and said, “No. I’m hiding favonovel.com because favonovel.com holds crucial information about the Z technology. Not only will this information affect Sol’s development, but it’ll also involve the worldwide popularization and reach of the technology. Although I seemed to have allied with Halvor, I only did it for show… The Z technology must remain within our country. I wanted to wait until the election was over and a new King took office before releasing it in our country. That way, we could continue our research and complete the Z technology as soon as possible. Then, Sol would be able to popularize the Z network and make it the forefront of our world’s technology.”
The King stated his goal and plan.
“I’ve had everything planned out since the beginning. During the Mount Thunder Conference, I wanted to kill all the ancient martial artists to prevent things from spiraling into what it is right now. However, you stepped in and stopped me. This wouldn’t have happened had you not interfered in the beginning…”
Huff!
The King sighed and said, “James, I really shouldn’t have listened to you back then. I should’ve been more ruthless and used even more powerful missiles to blow the Mount Thunder Sect to the ground.”
James listened carefully. He understood that the King was faulting favonovel.com for what had happened.
“I’ll take care of it.”
