After having a conversation with Simon, James headed back to Sky’s room. Hearing that there was no longer a commotion inside, favonovel.com knocked on the door.
Soon, a blonde-haired beauty draped in pajamas answered the door.
James waved at her, saying, “You’re dismissed…”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com simply walked on.
Sky, who was naked from the waist up was sitting on the bed.
Looking at James, favonovel.com asked. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
James walked over to favonovel.com and sat on the sofa.
Sky got dressed and walked over to James, handing favonovel.com a cigar as favonovel.com took a seat beside him.
James took it and said, “You’re well-connected. I came here to ask you about the number of martial artists who came.”
Sky said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Who can defeat us when we work together? They don’t stand a chance at all.”
James said coldly, “We shouldn’t underestimate our enemies.”
Sky said in a serious tone, “I received news that Simon Cabral of the Mount Thunder Sect, Tanner Davis of the Gu Sect, and Master Maha of the Sylvan Sect are here. By the way, I heard that a Grand Patriarch of the Heaven and Earth Sect is here too. That man has been living in seclusion from the outside world all this while. He seems to be called the Spirit Master. As someone who had lived for two hundred years, favonovel.com should be around the Fifth Stair…”
“Apart from them, there’s also your grandfather, Thomas Caden. Not only that, Tapio Cabral, the guy who accompanied you to King Quavon’s Mausoleum is here too. In any case, almost every powerful figure in Sol is here. As for the foreign martial artists, there aren’t many powerful ones except for Archbishop Polaris and the werewolves,” Sky briefly described the situation.
“We should aim to become the number one of Sol instead of trying to assert ourselves on the global stage. After all, we’ll become the most powerful individuals in the world as long as we’re number one in Sol.”
Upon hearing this. James breathed a sigh of relief.
None of the rest stood a chance against them.
“But…” Sky said, “Something’s not quite right…”
“Huh?” James looked at favonovel.com puzzledly and asked, “What do you mean?”
Sky said, “To my understanding, there are many powerful martial artists among the Blood Race whose strengths are comparable to ours. So, why did they choose to hand over the dragon blood? There’s no need for them to resort to this. After all, all of the Solean martial artists combined might not even stand a chance against the Blood Race.”
“Really?” James could not believe this.
Was the Blood Race truly this powerful?
“Are you saying that the Solean martial artists combined are no match for the Blood Race?”
“Of course!” Sky said, “The Blood Race obtained the dragon’s blood one thousand and three hundred years ago, something which could allow one to attain immortality. Even if only a single one of them had gained immortality, how powerful do you think favonovel.com would be after a thousand years of cultivation?”
Upon hearing this, James grew increasingly worried.
If that were the case, the Blood Race had to be up to something.
He looked at Sky and asked, “What should we do, then?”
Sky thought about it and said, “We can only take one step at a time. In any case, I have to get my hands on the dragon blood. This is crucial for me to cross into the ninth rank. Whoever stands in my way will die.”
“Okay.” James nodded
This was the only available option they had. They could only deal with the Blood Race’s plot when it came.
Perhaps Sky was overthinking things. Maybe the Blood Race did not want to be everyone’s target. That was why they handed over the dragon blood and offered to reveal the secret of the dragon’s whereabouts.

Meanwhile, in Sol.
At the Callahans’ in Cansington
Thea looked at Tiara Youngblood, who had a pitiful look on favonovel.com face, and asked puzzledly, “Who are you looking for?”
Tiara looked at favonovel.com and said, “I’m looking for you, Thea.”
“Me?”
Thea asked puzzledly. “Do I know you?”
“This isn’t the place for us to speak. Can we go somewhere else?” Tiara lowered favonovel.com head, averting Thea’s gaze.
“Sure!” Thea walked out and said, “Let’s go.”
