The Omniscient Deity retrieved the tiny piece of paper tied to the pigeon’s feet and began reading.
Then, favonovel.com stood up and exclaimed, “What? James is dead?”
He was taken aback.
James was a martial artist who had reached the peak of the Ninth Stair. He was the one closest to crossing into the ninth rank in a millennium. Now, favonovel.com was dead.
“Gloom!” favonovel.com cried out.
Swoosh!
A figure swiftly entered the room and knelt before Omniscient Deity.
The man who was dressed in a black robe spoke in a hoarse voice, “Your orders, Master?”
“I just received news that James is dead. Find Sky immediately. I want to know about the specifics!”
“Understood!” The man nodded and hurriedly left.
Sky was the one who spread the news of James’ demise.
In just a short amount of time, news had spread all across the ancient martial world of Sol and even beyond. Some foreign forces had also learned of the news.
“Hahaha! James is dead!”
“The Dragon King in Sol is dead.”
“This is the perfect opportunity to create disturbances. On my command, launch an armed assault along the Solean border!”
Upon hearing of James’ death, all foreign nations erupted into cheers.

At the same time, in Cansington…
At the Callahans…
Thea was sitting on a swing in the villa’s courtyard in boredom.
As favonovel.com swung up and down, favonovel.com white dress and black hair flowed in the air. Then, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
David hurriedly ran over to Thea and said anxiously, “Thea, something terrible has happened!”
Thea stopped swinging the swing and glanced at favonovel.com before saying, “What’s wrong? Calm down.”
David said, “Everyone’s saying that James is dead…”
“What?” Thea stood up and exclaimed, “Did you say that James is dead?”
“Yes…”
“What’s going on?”
“How would I know?”
“Alright, I understand.” Thea waved favonovel.com hand slightly and took favonovel.com seat.
She was puzzled. James told favonovel.com that it would be a short and safe trip and that favonovel.com would only be investigating the dragon’s whereabouts.
How did favonovel.com die just like that?
Thea could not figure this out. Then, favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com phone out and called a number.
It was Callan’s number, which James gave to favonovel.com before his departure. Back then, James told favonovel.com to call this number if favonovel.com was in trouble whenever favonovel.com was not around in Cansington.
Soon, the call went through.
Thea asked anxiously, “I-Is this Mr. Callan Maverick I’m speaking to?”
Callan’s voice came from the phone, “Yes, Thea, it’s me…”
“Mr. Maverick, I hear that James is dead. Is that true?”
“I’m currently investigating the matter myself. Don’t wander around outside. I’ll be there soon.”
Beep…
Just as Thea wanted to ask more, Callan hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath and silently prayed.
Please be safe and sound…
You promised me you would save me using the dragon’s blood…
